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

they bout to collapse though

randle not doing them any favors with all the aimless dribbling

whoa all is forgiven Randle

ohhh boy here we go

god Thibs is such an all time weirdo coach

i'm an hour late but lol @ bise

pretty sick game right here

this game is straight up silly

horf

have the Cs ever lost when Horford has had this kind of game

jfc double ot cmon

this Quickley dude is possessed

played 50+ minutes out there dancing around, rude imo

Josh Hart kind of a funny dude as well

ESPN must be glad they get to play this instead of Memphis without Ja and LAC with Russ

ahh so close

damn cannot believe they pulled that off. still lmao @ everyone who roots for this team.

Quickley with 55 minutes. i uh don't think i've ever seen a number that high before

great game by him

with all the trouble the celtics have had with cleve and the knicks they might be better off on phillys side of the draw

police investigating ja now

i saw some speculation on twitter about whether he brought the gun on the team plane which would violate nba rules

yeah I was wondering whether there would be legal trouble coming up, I kind of doubted whether bringing a gun into a club was legal

he might be done for the season

should i get into it with a know-it-all hoops talking head on Twitter who derided the Immanuel Quickley pick on draft night, y/n?

he's also a Knicks fan and now he loves the guy.

if he now loves the guy there might not be a lot to get into, except pressing them to say their draft night opinion-mongering was wrong. that might feel good, if they're obnoxious in general, but just publicly dropping a reminder on him might be just as satisfying even if he doesn't reply.

it seems like colorado has pretty lax gun laws, i’m sure ja will be fine legally. but it seems quite obvious that he’s traveling with guns & the NBA has to have a zero tolerance policy on that

I mean, that would have to count as a team facility the same as the Gilbert Arenas situation no?

alpine taking down stephan a.????

never get into it on twitter is my motto

there's a guy on phoenix named ish wainwright who is averaging 15 mpg and i swear i'd never heard this guy's name in my life until yesterday

it's a great name

thats the guy who played in the nfl first right

hes jacked i wouldnt be surprised

yes, he signed with the Bills but never played. was a role player at Baylor pre-natty

so Grant Williams got 2 FTs with the game tied and 0.9 seconds left on the clock, told the other team's star player he was gonna make them both, wound up MISSING them both, and then the Celtics lost in OT. wonder how many NBA players have had this exact nightmare

Wow raptors just got Scott fostered lmaoooo

A recap

In the last minute of Raptors-Nuggets, Scott Foster ruled a Raptors challenge unsuccessful to give Denver FTs, then ruled a Nuggets challenge successful to take FTs away from Toronto, then called a weak foul on the Raptors to give Denver more FTs, and then ejected Scottie Barnes

that tech at the end was absurd

Russ has really thin skin huh

Russ got those Kings fans outta there 🫣

If there's one thing we know about Scott Foster, it's that he's a "I'll take charge of this" kind of guy.

The NBA’s CBA says a firearm on team premises, including a team plane, is an automatic 50-game suspension, per @TheSteinLine on the ’This League Uncut” podcast

The league is trying to confirm where the firearm came from pic.twitter.com/U36WZDwO6Q

idk if they'll ever be able to prove it either way but the scenarios where it isn't his gun are prob even more concerning to me, even if they don't run afoul of CBA rules

either way i wouldn't be surprised if he sits the rest of the season

that tweet’s been deleted wonder what’s goin on there

I stated something incorrectly on today’s podcast.

A firearm on team premises is indeed a violation of NBA rules and subjects the player to discipline … but there is NO specific suspension length in league bylaws.

Suspension length is imposed at the commissioner’s discretion. https://t.co/ebfG1hlcQS

ahhhh. 50 games isn't a bad over/under tho

yeah thats prob the line

im sure he can say its not his but if its registered im not sure he can lie out of that one, and if its not registered that brings to play a bunch of other issues. messy all around.

if i were him i would say it was a candy gun the strip club gave me
