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

*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

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

a quote from: https://www.nba.com/all-star-voting-format-explained

Fans were first given the opportunity to vote for NBA All-Star starters during the 1974-75 season.

being a starter has not been as impressive since 1974

true dat

Lmao the disgust on thibs face after that Brogdon 3

Impressive comeback by the Cs

Good game!

Jericho Sims is a good name I approve

dammit jaylen

Those barely hit rim lol

this would be a pretty bad loss for the Suns. you're at home vs. a team that is reeling and without their superstar. c'mon you gotta find a way

also I'm all for alternate uniforms and color schemes but I think if your tertiary color is your opponent's primary you shouldn't be allowed to wear it for that game. too weird seeing the Suns in blue this game

Ayton is so soft lmao

Embarrassing loss

they bring him in just to get that board

tbf he did put up 19-20 tonight albeit not efficiently. and whoever that was on the suns knocked the rebound out of his hands like an idiot

javale mcgee with a DNP-CD tonight that was mayan the single worst signing off the offseason
