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

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.”

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

simmo the satan more like it

Bam Antetenkayo?

Per NBA league source.. Hawks locking in on Quin Synder as head coach and want to move fast.

Don’t be surprised if Hawks also give Snyder additional title & responsibilities of “President” of basketball operations.

can’t remember the last time that giving the coach GM powers worked out

yeah would be a nice hire otherwise

also now i see why he didnt have a job yet

just remembered there are games again

i dont understand how haliburtons shot works

yeah doesnt really make sense

sometimes I catch pacers highlights and I catch a weird Halliburton thing and my brain lights up like “ah sneaky they put a fake one in there!”

yeah his whole game looks like a glitch, very weird to watch

hes really good at dribbling around the permitter until somehow his defender is a step off him even tho he hasnt really done anything then he shoots a weird three

his 'bag' is not fluid

lotta All Stars having bad games tonight, hmmm

he also jumps around all weird like some kinda bug everyone's trying to catch xp

lol he is totally a bug

Sixers-Grizz game is pretty great in the 4th.

yeah this is good stuff

insane stuff going on here wow

that was like 7 nuts possessions in a row

lol classic harden completely expressionless pumping up the crowd with weird little finger wiggles

That Embiid block of Morant was pretty ridiculous. Just crazy last couple of possessions.

xxp, lol

theyre cleaning blood off the floor!

maybe the goat weird energy superstar?

Philly doesn't even know what to do right now, idk if they've ever found themselves on *this* end of one of these games

banes arms look comically short i cant tell if hes just normal arm length guy but and looks weird cos hes around long limmed freaks of nature or if hes really just t-rex arms mcgee

that was not... dissimilar to the ncaa game ending goon posted on blolz

ummm did Memphis think there was only 13 seconds left or what, that was strange

that first bane look was about as good as it gets

he def has short arms for the nba at least and also hes ripped which accentuates it

was thinking what this game is missing a dillon brooks dustup

Lol at Niang. Could do without the WWE at the end here.

Great game. Hope the Sixers didn't waste all their energy here, because I'm going to the game Saturday vs. Celts.

nice

will be touching to see embiid reunite with his dad al horford

yeah, yeah, I know.

I've been pretty sanguine all year cause I expect another second round loss. It's not a bad place to be tbh.

wld be funny if the sixers finally make a run after everyones given up on them

forgot bamba was on the lakers kind of a random guy

pbkr have fun! since i was at the corresponding game in boston a couple weeks ago so i feel like we can do a cosmic high-5 of some kind.

Will report from courtside (well, second level).
