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

It seems like Harden still has the first step/moves to get by the first man, he just doesn't have the hops/quickness/strength anymore to finish at the rim when challenged by a second man. He gets blocked on drives a lot now instead of finishing and getting fouled.

the last time I watched him he seemed to be obsessed with doing tricky bounce passes

Yeah he really loves these little no-look bounce pass dump-offs

he is a great passer tbf leading the league in assists

hes still very good but philly could use a guy who can just go and get a bucket which doesnt really seem to be him anymore

if he cant do that is he really good? also maxey can do that

he’s clearly still pretty to very good in the regular season. but that’s a separate conversation — i can’t tell which one we’re having

welp

ESPN Sources: Orlando Magic F Jonathan Isaac underwent season-ending surgery today to repair a torn left adductor muscle. Brutal setback for Isaac, 25, who played only 11 games this season after missing two years with a torn ACL. An MRI revealed the adductor injury on Wednesday. pic.twitter.com/nkPMfszXPI

wtf

praying for him

injuries suck : (

speaking of which, still no communication from the team on KAT's status. he's not practicing right now....I think something is up, I don't know if he's going to play this year.

getting to that point where they need to shut him down or set a date

long past imo

the nets should consider putting the ball through the hoop-ring just a thought

sorry but that's analytics gone too far

analytics ruining ball

theyre called the nets not the hoops

the nets decided to go the analytics route after all

marcus just picked up four fouls and tech in under 4 mins of gametime lol

what happened here just turning back on

pretty crazy turn of events

masterful collapse you can only tip your cap

tbf that's all i can ever do

wow i guess this is why we should trust analytics in here in the modern age

potentially last important game for the nuggs tonight, win and 1st seed is all but locked up

Holy shit Julius Randle are you kidding pic.twitter.com/IScn8kQgCQ

BANG!!

Celts were up 22 huh

hoooly shit Green what a crazy sequence. how do you not score on that

that was so sick

I don’t put the blame on him, it’s the team’s fault for not getting him involved, but the thomas bryant minutes have been a complete disaster. this guy led the league in true shooting percentage and now looks like he’s never played before

7 straight scoreless possessions with jokic off the floor…something I’m monitoring…

BANG!!

lol @ thibs mean-mugging after it goes in as if he drew this shit up

“julius, no matter what happens…shoot it” is usually the play he draws up, so point thibs

Halftime rotations for the Nuggets as they trail the Grizzlies 58-50:

-Joker: 12-9-6 on 4 shot attempts
-MPJ: 10 points, 5 rebounds
-Jamal: 5 points on 8 shots.

Dillon Brooks had Jamal locked that half and let him know about it at the end. The Nuggets need more from Murray. pic.twitter.com/bHL5JbQa8Z

I dunno if other beat guys do this but I really like this guy’s lineup graphics, nice to visualize the rotations this way. malone is an insane person sometimes

the vibes are now good

dillon brooks ugly ass stepping to jokic be serious lil fella

big ol L for the lakers

Clips lost too lol 0-5 w Westbrook. Who had a fine game but in the most important possession of the game let an easy pass slip through his hands out of bounds

Celts were up 22 huh
