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

lamelo has a horrific looking shot… he’s also a career 37% shooter from three. i didn’t believe in his shot either but i can get past it if the stats are there. giddey has a bad shot + bad shooting percentage combo

the thing about giddy too is that he just doesnt look comfortable shooting where melo and hali are bombs away all day can get off good looks in all sorts of situations etc

think maybe these new fangled single motion low release low jump shots thatre all about shooting as effortlessly as possible just might be more amenable to weird form, because youre putting less force into it strange alignments or whatever are less likely to break the form

fun fact giddey is shooting 50/40/90 since the start of dec but he still has a below average ts% because he takes too many twos

wow that’s wild

yep

i think he will grade out as a fine defender tho. he is tall enough to compensate for some of his athletic shortcomings.

that’s fair. if he becomes a good enough shooter and defender then he has all star potential

apparently okc poached the spurs shooting guy (can’t remember his name) and giddey’s form has begun to improve. lowe mentioned this on a recent pod. i like giddey, saw him opening night 2021 rox v okc and was impressed by his play making, passing. rooting for him to improve. giddey, sga backcourt could be special

chip engelland

so charlotte just blasts the PA throughout the action of every home game? it’s pretty offputting

just started watching the celtics game and the wide shot aka the primary camera has been out of focus for the first half of the first quarter lol

all the graphics, other angles are fine

that's a bit of an oops

its not that bad but its enough to drive me crazy

could actually be some not in camera issue idk but its fuzzy

yeah the fact that all the other angles are fine is definitely unusual

rob is goin nuts on the offense glass here this is cool

out of focus game sample

that looks more like low bitrate than out of focus?

you might be picking up on the youtube compression or whatever the person who edited did, it really looked blurry and the graphic and other shots didnt, tho it def couldve been something "digital" rather than the camera lens actually being out of focus

okc wins again

With the win at Brooklyn, OKC is now tied for the final play-in spot.

The Thunder have wins against Dallas, Philly, Chicago and now the Nets in their last 5 games.

The lone loss was to Miami 112-111. https://t.co/WKQfgmgWLf

And have the easiest remaining schedule according to Tankathon.

our boy giddy 28-9-9

their starting perimeter guys sga giddy and dort are all so weird in each their own way then the other two starters are forwards named jaylen williams

good season for rookies. the pacers managed to lead the league in points by rookies while being the sixth seed (until recently)

just that particular camera could be low bitrate, like if the main feed from that camera to the broadcast room was having issues

something fucked up idk shit looked blurry

2.5 games between 6 (lac) and 13 (lal) in the west rn its half way through the season thats crazy

whole lotta parity going on

You really could make a massive compilation of all Russs dumb plays in the clutch

Milwaukee's really been going through it lately, wanna say they really need Khris back but their defense has been godawful lately

knicks about to lose in overtime but this was nice

so in wolves-jazz tonight rudy gobert gets hurt 5 mins into the game and never comes back meanwhile walker kessler puts up 20-21 (both career highs) in a 1 point road win for the jazz

kessler has to be second in rookie of the year rankings atm

make up your mind, are you a walker or a kessler. you cant do both

sorry mathurin is second. he can be third if you like tho

always be kessling

kessler just being good in a role that no rookies are good in, that is also gobert's role, is hilarious

Sad state for the ol wolves

noticed bunch of sengun hype content recently
