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

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

3D printer at the club

lol

GSW now 7-25 on the road.

guess the dubs should try to be #1 seed in the offs.

A very weird season for them

probably within reach the way the West is

Russ apparently had an issue with a fan doing the “rock the baby” taunt and had him ejected

Zion Williamson is ‘not close’ to returning, per @WindhorstESPN

“I think his setback was significant”

welp

looking more and more like injuries are going to kill Zion's career. then again for a long time it looked like steph's ankles were made of glass.

what a bummer

bad days for the top 2 picks from the 2019 draft

looking at a possibility of no ja, zion and kat for the western conference playoffs. pels looking like they may fall out completely.

one hurdle cleared:

Just in: Glendale, Colorado police has closed its investigation into Grizzlies star Ja Morant with no charge or crime: “There was not enough available evidence to charge anyone with a crime.” Full release: pic.twitter.com/Ng0uYdoLpp

the police were probably like you want us to investigate a guy having a gun in colorado

yeah, similar thing happening with the alabama freshman brandon miller. probably delivered the gun to a murderer but apparently that is not illegal in alabama.

that one feels a little shakier to me

love to just give a gun to whoever who cares I do it every day

not making a moral equivalence to be clear, more an observation on how our gun laws make little sense

i was thinking more legally i bet they could find a charge there if they felt like it

ja's out 4 more games

when i lived in colorado it was oft cited that >50% of the state population are gun owners. Ja just being a man of the people as he does

where are we streaming games nowadays. blacked out on LP tonight

Here’s video of Kevin Durant slipping on the floor pregame.

He stayed down for a few seconds but then got up and finished his on-court work. pic.twitter.com/DwTrNc6LIr

According to the Pierce (Wash.) Corrections Inmate listings, six-time NBA All-Star Shawn Kemp -- a legendary member of the Seattle Sonics -- has been booked in an alleged drive-by shooting. https://t.co/gix0Ht9E9F

damn

what the hell

does not compute

the last I heard of kemp he'd blown his life to hell with cocaine and lost all his money. this was quite a while back.

outside of one gun possession charge, though, most of his arrests were for mere drug possession, this is something very unlike him.

Seems bad

What a shit show.

Luka hurt his thigh. KD sprained his ankle in warmups before his suns home opener. Ingram sprained his ankle.

kings will win the nba playoffs

Dray didn't hold back. I love it but Kerr's gotta be pissed at how much locker room material he just gave them. Better back it up tomorrow night!

“If you ever wonder why the Memphis Grizzlies is not ready to compete for a championship, look no further than this idiot right here. They’re actually depending on this guy to help them win a championship.”

Draymond Green CLAPS BACK at Dillon Brooks 😳👀

FVV going off on the refs lol

"I'll take a fine. I don't really care. I thought Ben Taylor was f**king terrible today. On most nights, out of the 3, there's 1 or 2 that just f**k the game up. it's been like that a couple games in a row..."
