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

its because he sucks and is annoying

a lot of freaks who make deals like that sort of thing

going on tv to talk shit about various players coaches organizations and so forth may have soured people on him

thats why most players wait til after theyre retired to do that

lots of denver disrespect going on in this conversation

the Mavericks lost three in a row after Kyrie and Luka started playing together, looking at an 0-fer the rest of the season IMO

happy 60th to sir charles

Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo suffered a sprained ligament in his right wrist and will undergo treatment with the expectation that he'll be able to return to the lineup once the pain subsides, sources tell ESPN. He was examined in New York today.

lakers bubble champ was a fluke that would not have happened without them suddenly transforming from a bad to great shooting team in the bubble

i was listening to… one of the podcasts… and they were talking about how important steven adams is to memphis’ offense bcuz they’re so reliant on his offensive rebounding in the halfcourt. i think they were saying that if you drilled down statistically to just halfcourt offenses based solely off their first shot taken memphis rates as one of the worst teams in the league. alarming to say the least

i’m def on the side of them being too happy to slow play their hand. they need to flip a bunch of picks and young players for 1-2 more undeniable playoff rotation players & stop trying to two timeline it

yeah that was on the last lowe pod, some good stuff in there

yeah agreed they need to trade for a big wing, but so does everyone else so guys like anunoby or bridges are really expensive its tough

need to identify target and acquire a guy

RIP original Spurs and one time Vikings owner Red McCombs

rest in piss

whats goin on here

The Orlando Magic are waiving guard RJ Hampton, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

wow has he been that bad?

i think ppl were saying they've just soured on him and are cutting him so he can find more playing time

here we go

oh no

"It's as if 20 years of asshole dad energy has accumulated in this poor man's knee."

i'd be shocked if he ever played extended meaningful minutes in the NBA ever again

lol

bummer

that’s so sad. I guess all that’s left for him is to sign a minimum contract with the denver nuggets

clippers tank incoming

Tyronn Lue: "We want Russ to be Russ."

Ty Lue on Russell Westbrook: “The ball will be in his hands. You don’t average a triple double without having the ball in your hands. We know he can make plays and make the right plays.”

— Joey Linn (@joeylinn_) February 23, 2023

he leads the league in turnovers per 36 but also you gotta give him the ball

watching an ESPN debate from earlier today Perk just pronounced it like "Bam OuttathaBayou"

Perk was just on Lowe’s podcast talking about his new book. It actually sounds pretty interesting! Not what I would expect coming from him.

I skipped that segment tbh
