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

lmao

Patrick Beverley took a professional camera to show the officials the missed foul call on LeBron James in the final seconds of Lakers-Celtics.

He got hit with a technical foul for it.pic.twitter.com/yNNf7vnOc9

Dying at pat bev and the camera

this is one of the wildest regular season games I've ever seen

truly unbelievable behavior

make up call

pat bev grabbing the camera honestly might be the greatest call protest in nba history

Gonna be gifd into eternity

Westbrook blocked by the rim lmaooooooo

Why did he bring Russ back in OT lol

pat bev with the camera might be the only time i’ve ever liked pat bev in my life

man I'm all for heartbreaking Lakers losses but this one was just brutal

patbev with the camera tho

lakers' antics reek of increasing desperation

last few lakers possessions were depressing.

I went to bed early but the lakers highlights are a real palate cleanser after the nuggets game yesterday

did we talk about this

Harden tried for the steal from the bench, but the Sixers got called for a tech for only having four players on the court 😅 pic.twitter.com/ed71csRPoW

That’s amazing hahaaaa

did he just forget to go in or was it all part of the (bad) plan

I *think* he was supposed to be in but forgot

there was also a play I don’t think I’ve seen before, a sixers guy (maxey maybe) got fouled on a made 3, they reviewed it and called a flagrant because the nuggets player didn’t allow him to land…so he gets the and-1 and a free throw for the flagrant, but he only has to make one of two for one point, he can’t make both because (according to the broadcast) you “can’t have more than 4 points in a play”? he ended up missing them both lol

🤦🏾‍♂️!!! I don’t understand. I truly don’t https://t.co/XgVDGRZ5Wa

messy lebron is the best lebron

Yes let the anger flow through you

Pat Bev definitely an all time master of the technical foul

lol its not that big of a deal

Like everyone else, referees make mistakes. We made one at the end of last night’s game and that is gut-wrenching for us. This play will weigh heavily and cause sleepless nights as we strive to be the best referees we can be.https://t.co/WyN8QVuTOl

...the horror...the horror

come on LeBron what's to "understand" it was a quick play and they missed the call. sucks but it happens

Lebron James shld definitely become a referee when he retires from the game. He owes it to the game.

Hoping the lakers miss the play in by one game or something like that

The Timberwolves are in fifth now the west is so wild

Lol lebron get over it you big dumb baby

what a weirdo

reeks of desperation tbh

I still can’t get over his immediate reaction lmao it was the most unhinged thing I’ve ever seen

man’s frustrated

Dude was begging for his life

lot of hollywood behavior by the lakers in that game

camera work, method acting and so forth

*and things of that nature

look I do kinda feel for LeBron, there's definitely a version of this where he goes to a less dysfunctional team and gets all those Tom Brady-esque "how is he still doing this" headlines that he very much deserves, on the other hand it is very funny. many sides, many sides

he made his choice (lakers)

i read lebron's dramatic nature as part and parcel of being a first gen social media baby, god help us if MJ and KG and Charles had been alive in the twitter era

i mean "the decision" for fuck's sake

lol the decision

bron was an adult when the social media era began fwiw sort of a straddle generation doubt he was too online growing up, but despite being one of the oldest players in the league he seems pretty interested in whatever the latest stuff is, still keeps up with the new uniform trends wearing the mid thigh shorts with the compression peaking out this season knows all the songs things of that nature, must be embarrassing for his kids lol

doing some research https://www.espn.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/1593/nba-players-with-myspace-pages

Like everyone else, referees make mistakes. We made one at the end of last night’s game and that is gut-wrenching for us. This play will weigh heavily and cause sleepless nights as we strive to be the best referees we can be.

i'm just dying at this. like a detective squad who just missed out on catching a killer, who went on to kill again.

sad
