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

Could be a problem

Grant has been put into concussion protocol.

During the 1st quarter of FRI night’s game vs. OKC, Grant was evaluated & cleared to return to play after sustaining a contusion to the right eye. Saturday morning, Grant began to exhibit concussive symptoms & was evaluated further. https://t.co/xo3k2jSMut

nets starting lineup is kind of sweet many long arms

Yah interesting team

Hey remember when there were TRADES? I miss those days.

Poole you sick freak

nice win for the Lakers without LeBron. meanwhile Mavs bench looks godawful

I see they dusted off javale for tonight’s game

Guard Reggie Jackson is finalizing a contract buyout with the Charlotte Hornets and plans to sign with the No. 1 West seed Denver Nuggets after he clears waivers, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

have been pretty depressed about the nuggets for the past week or so but this is probably the best I could have hoped for as far as buyout candidates go. their point guard depth chart right now is absolutely ghastly

Warriors crunch time offense continues to baffle. Lakers have some dudes now. Vandy might be their best pickup dude just gets stuff done out there.

Klays been on fire for a month but when he has a dud he REALLY has a dud. Starts exponentially taking worse shots.

Reggie is a good pickup, he gives them a proven version of what they prob wanted out of bones

emphasis on past tense with “proven”…but he’s probably an upgrade over ish smith

actually I’m talking myself into this more now. imagining a reggie-bryant pick and roll and mentally comparing that to anything the nuggets bench has tried to do for the last 3 seasons

Didn’t realize he’s nearly 33

breaking

Deal will be finalized once the sides work through the terms on a deal.

incredible stuff

i’ll pay for twitter platinum to get this shit delivered 10 minutes ahead of everybody else

this rendition of the star spangled banner before griz-celts is abysmal

cannot get over boston’s pre-game hype reel with the retinal scanning and elevator shafts and so forth

sort of amazing how naive, outdated and poor all the official malarkey around most -all? pro sports is given how the product is among the best it’s ever been and the ancillary third-party media (draymond: “i think you mean NEW MEDIA”) is more plentiful and varied than ever

horf looks rusty

David Griffin says Zion Williamson re- aggravated his hamstring injury. He’s looking at missing multiple weeks post All-Star. Will be re-evaluated when they get back from ASG.

pritchard is such a gym rat you know that wherever his ceiling is, he'll get there

smh doris soliloquy about dillon brooks defense on tatum over clips of him fouling the shit out tatum and a phantom travel

celtics big wins over philly and memphis without half their guys its nice

so i guess the GSW trade is official and the Hawks get Saddiq Bey. seems good for them as they didn't give up much. i'm assuming he's a big upgrade over Justin Holiday

five second round picks!

idk what happened this year but in normal times bey is a two seconds guy

i ended up getting 3 seconds for the lung so the floor is really low

or high? i guess the floor would be high in this situation. sorry i am also high (pain medication)

the floor is up

idc about the picks. is he good?

no

damn

heat centers getting away with murder on jokic and he’s still 7/8

firmly a “christian braun guy” fwiw

tough vibes situation going on in dallas

sheesh Kyrie totally taking over now

hes a very dynamic ball player unfortunately

man i love slo mo

gobert not closing games?

good god

26 points for kyrie in the 4th so far

I mean do you, under certain circumstances, have to hand it to him

aahahha totally flubbed that. kyrie and luka deferring but also great defense by ant and mcdaniels. didnt even get a shot off

i would put money on ben simmons being out of the league before he turns 30

Ben Simmons played 13 minutes tonight — his second lowest minutes total of the season. Jacque Vaughn just gave a long answer when asked about the challenges of playing Simmons, and said it’s going to be a work in progress to find lineups that make sense for him to fit into.
