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

time for lamelo to have a phantom injury. maybe they could list him as OUT - BROTHER'S KNEE

Lamelos played like 10 games this season. Let the hornets cook (jordan doesn’t deserve wemby)

that is true. karma dictates he should be a spur

uh oh, lebron achilles watch

“i heard a pop”

ok now he’s playing again

classic lebron

wild comeback by the lakers. were down 27 in the second quarter and are now up 3 with less than 2 mins to go

a lot of shots from players who aren’t luka or kyrie at the end of this game

they got some good looks but didnt hit them

brutal loss for the mavs

no huge surprise but luka and kyrie have no idea how to play off each other in crunch time possessions

lol

Mavs blow a 27-point lead to lose to the Lakers. NBA teams were 138-0 this season in games they led by 27 or more, per @ESPNStatsInfo.

i believe the lakers were 1-19 from three at one point in the first half

the mavs really look like a team that traded its best wing defender. they had justin holiday guarding lebron at the end and it looked like they could’ve pulled a random fan out of the crowd and had just as good of a chance of getting a stop

top ten offense bottom ten defense trading to get better at offense and worse at defense seems perhaps conceptually unsound

kyrie era going as per usual

Jason Kidd: “I’m not the savior here. I’m not playing. I’m watching, just like you guys. As a team, we’ve got to mature. … We’ve got to grow up.”

— Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) February 26, 2023

it's really tough because there were no warnings about kyrie as a teammate or person

kyrie looking forward to playing with new coach says they have a great rapport

two weeks later coach found floating in nearby river

Kyrie already looking forward to his move to the suns this summer he doesn’t care about this mavs team in the least

That roster outside of Kyrie and Luka is very questionable lol

snyder 5 years $1 trillion to the hawks

seems like they avoided giving him gm powers

In recent days, Snyder has been engaged with general manager Landry Fields, assistant GM Kyle Korver and owner Tony Ressler on a number of philosophical, team building and staff budgetary issues, and Snyder will enter the organization with a significant voice in player personnel matters, sources said.

pretty great move for them. the owner and his son's involvement still seems very bad tho

dont forget the owners sons friend

Naz Jordan more like it sheesh

jelly fam

I really like Naz, if he ever becomes consistent watch out

I know it was a few hours ago but can I still say lmao @ the Mavs today. Lakers gotta be the hardest team to blow a big lead against too

oh my Timberwolves are falling apart

that's how they do

warriors looking like a mid tier pac 12 team trying to hold onto this lead

ohhh my god they had a wide open shot to tie it and he airballed it lmaooo

Neither team looking particularly impressive here

dame has 41 at the half

on 19 shots, 8 threes :)

damn!

this clippers starting line up with westbrook and plumlee stinks

otm, this is outrageous

2nd largest win streak in Bucks history :)

2 points in 5:30 thats not good

putting kawhi and PG aside — who is the best shooter on the clippers now?

norm powell?

why did the clippers decide that westbrook is better than reggie jackson

i was gonna say batum?? xp

norm is 42% on 5 attempts/game this year, nic 38% on 4....marcus morris also 38% on 5, so regardless you would never want to play any of these guys when you have, um, westbrook and plumlee

one would assume lue will play powell, batum, covington, morris, gordon, mann more in the playoffs. but i’m still baffled by how you hand your opening minutes over to westbrook at this point in time (immediately get down 20)
