2022/23 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD "TANKING FOR WEMBANYAMA"

Oof

xp i believe the hornets' pick IS protected (i wanna say lottery or top 16), theyre just doing this bc they dont actually fucking care

it’s top 16

Los Angeles Lakers say Anthony Davis suffered a stress injury to his right foot and will be out indefinitely.

sounds like his foot needs to chill out

that was a strange update because they diagnosed it and maintained "indefinitely" while also saying he was feeling better and would test it in 7-10 days

Jokic is so incredible

I think Jokic plays especially well against the Blazers in order to show up Nurkic.

merry christmas friends! the fam got me celtics/sixers tickets, all is well.

nice! will be good to see al horford play his son joel embiid in person

merry christmas friends! the fam got me celtics/sixers tickets, all is well.

happy christmas to all nba drama enjoyers

ESPN Sources: All-Star guard James Harden is seriously considering a return to the Houston Rockets in free agency this July -- if he decides against a new deal with the Philadelphia 76ers: https://t.co/ZqJGIL1ZeP

looking forward to him quitting on a tough playoff series and then hightailing it out of town

Merry Xmas ILH(ouston Rockets)!

woj noting that harden remains “drawn to the […] lifestyle” of houston

houston cant have any interest in signing him tho

his work isn’t done until he shows jalen green all the best spots in town

omg i just accidentally turned on the espn2 broadcast of the game and theyve got a truly twisted thing going where steven a smith is in some huge weird christmas living room talking shit about the game

i watched it for a minute cause i thought it was some interlude, just really not in the spirit of the holiday

merry xmas friends, also got some tix!! (albeit for a much lower stakes game, spurs v okc during spring break, hoping to see poku irl)

*bise whispering to his son when poku checks in* thats poku

I got a fire going and I'm watching the Sixers . . . merry xmas ilh.

and shake milton bestows the halfcourt christmas miracle

Excellent game to attend bise. you get to enjoy sochans hair in person

its the capitol one development bowl, winner has to run laps afterwards for ruining the tank position

haha, i accidentally logged onto that same stephen a. broadcast too xp

happy christmas ilh folks!

bron looks like morpheus

you can take the red pill (steroids) or the blue pill (also steroids)

happy xmas ILH!

that was a special kind of 4th quarter meltdown smh

you cant just let george niang bomb you to death

his name is georges cause it feels like there's more than one of him out there!

lol

georges niang, like attorneys general

this is the first im hearing of this

lol

happy xmas day to ilh and places of that nature

happy holidays yall

just got off the road, I checked my phone at a rest stop and the lakers were up like 8, nice lil 41-11 quarter the mavs have going here

they hit some threes

51 points in the 3rd a christmas miracle record

Maybe woods best game ever? 7 assists!

These are prob the best mavs unis ever?

oh these teams came to player here on famous christmas day

if the celtics can take brook out of the game thats big could be big for the offs

Celtics starting small forces Giannis to guard a perimeter player. He can do it, but the Bucks prefer him to keep his energy early in game and to stick with guys closer to the rim.

That, plus Lopez in the drop, is opening up a ton of good looks for Boston to open this game.

bud is the most gen x coach

why are we getting blake minutes

and he strips giannis thats the reverse jinx baby

im sure we've talked abt this but pat connaughton not being a celtic feels like a crime against hoops and boston

its outrageous that they have not acquired him
