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

i feel like this is gonna be a pretty controversial decision from silver. seems like the league determined that it wasn't his gun or they couldn't make a determination but "run around flashing guns at ppl and you can just take a few weeks off nbd" feels like a precedent a lot of ppl aren't really going to agree w/

wonder how this would play out if it was, I dunno, some bench dude

well, nobody would care

time served huh

whos gonna get the first interview with him? malika andrews?

This is worse than a Kyrie apology.

occurs to me that his counseling was prob media prep

i guess he’s in a tough spot where he can’t admit to menacing people with/possessing guns for legal (criminal and civil) reasons but there’s been enough credible reporting on these incidents that any other explanation just feels like an attempted cover up

it’s always a shaky apology when someone says “i apologize for my actions” and you’re still not even clear on what their actions were

so i gather he's not addressing any of the other violent/menacing behavior that's been in the reporting?

speaking of violent/menacing behavior desmond bane just got flagrant 2 ejected for a brutal nut shot that left kevin love red faced and writhing on the floor

the grizz are villains

kevin love was in immediate distress

Desmond Bane got a flagrant 2 for this lol pic.twitter.com/q3Zsd3QFoj

i can't stand rudy gobert

he sucks

celtcis tv guys thinking he got that tech for flexing when he obvs got it for kicking derrick white

yeah idk what they're watching, also he used his off arm to push tatum as he went up for the dunk and caused that spin and fall

Sixers-Cavs just back and forth.

Just big shot after big shot.

embiid fouling out on some bullshit is some bullshit

He was ballin' too.

he bit on multiple pump fakes in that quarter that ended in fouls

overturned!

hes back baby!

lol, idk

i think mobley exaggerated the contact a bit there but feel like it's pretty rare you see that kinda arm extension not be called an offensive foul let alone be overturned

refs have been feeling it all game.

embiid playing ridiculous (in a bad way) defense now

mobley flopped lil bump he went flying

good game i like the confetti on the court, the overturned foul out

occurs to me that his counseling was prob media prep

different type of nike boot camp lol

deaaron fox continues his clutch time heater, freaking crazy

I see anthony davis took some more PTO today, gotta get me one of those gigs fr

i think it's obvious, as has been true every year since i've been posting here, my postseason rooting interest is with the kings of sacramento

theyre pretty cool which is something ive always said

this clippers team is so old man where did they get all these guys

end of this mavs-spurs game is yakety sax af

spurs are trying too hard first they beat denver now they’re expending valuable energy taking the mavs to OT, what’s goin on

not a great last 4 seconds for maxi kleiber

what's Kidd's blood pressure like right now

luka and kyrie both out tonight…?

christian wood just had an assist…spurs understand the assignment now I think

steph going off
