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

the beam rises above

Just got to New Orleans today for a little vacation, sitting at a bar watching the Nugs/Pels, life is good

Sweet, gonna be able to catch a pels game live?

love new orleans amazing place

ILH retreat 2023

otm

ILH retreat NO would rule

The Wolves are actually playing tomorrow night here but we got Preservation Hall Jazz All Stars tickets which tbh are probably a better basketball team than the Wolves at this point

Lmao

We woulda revoked your ILH card if Zion was playing and you missed out

Lebron working on a 50 piece

kawhi & PG playing on the same night in order to smoke the lakers is pretty funny

Prob both take a couple weeks off until they play warriors or something

cavs are now only 2 games ahead of miami in the 5 seed and 3 games ahead of the knicks in the first play in spot

mavs lost to the wizards at home tonight w/ luka scoring 41 and zinger hurt

patrick williams is averaging 10-4-1 this year

*Simmons guarding Embiid*

Sixers scored 75 in the first half.

nets without kd are not too good

Listening to the Nets announcers exhorting Simmons to take it to the rim *shivers*.

this is really the perfect embiid game. he gets to do literal wrestling taunts vs a team missing its best player on a wednesday in january

embiid dogging it up and down the floor as the nets hack away at the sixers lead. playing all the hits in just the last 10 mins

ben simmons scores his 8th point of the game and does an exaggerated pull up on the rim. this game is very funny

doc sitting embiid and harden at the same time as the nets just kick the sixers back ups’ asses up and down the floor. everyone is bringing their A game tonight

iverson is uh retaining a lot of water in his face

hahahaha

lol get em

nic claxton has played 37 minutes because the nets literally do not have another center. embiid has at least 50 pounds on him.

he's still gone for 25/11 and has a neutral plus/minus, he should get a gift card or something for this effort

sixers would’ve gone out like punks if KD was on the floor. that team is the exact same

for sure. they aren't serious

dame's already put up 26 against the jazz in the first half. looks like another 40+ game in the making. trouble is they keep losing 3/4 of those games anyway.

kuminga nice dunk

this game is not living up to my expectations tho

Warriors turnovers comical ffs. Kuminga the only serious player on the team in the first half

14 TOs in the first half is absurd

Kuminga sheeesh

dame got 60

60-7-8-3 even!

Curry ejected w one min left!!!??

he threw his mouthguard into the stands out of frustration with poole haha

ewwww steph wtf

The best video of the Steph Curry mouthguard toss and ejection via @NBCSWarriors. Clearly upset at the Poole shot choice. pic.twitter.com/AdqNbfnqqn

Yah he was pissed. Waited for him in the tunnel after the game to hug it out. You could tell they really wanted to win that game

these are pretty good except for kyrie

Kyrie Irving
Donovan Mitchell

sure what are you gonna do

Really should be embiid over Kyrie and get rid of positions.

no worries. embiid will get chosen to play. now that the fans do their voting thing being a starter is not quite as impressive anyway.

fans have voted for the starters since the inception of the all-star game, iirc? it's only since 2017 that they've taken some power away from the fans, allowing player and media votes to balance out the (dumb) fans

players taking their responsibility very seriously lol

In the NBA All-Star voting results by players, Chet Holmgren received 4 votes despite being out for the season 👀 ⚡ pic.twitter.com/KPmHGX7DRh
