2023/24 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD "THANKING FOR WEMBANYAMA"

they've gotta be the worst team this year right

oh sweet cade is on my fantasy team

wanna take over an already drafted team on the ILX league? There's a team that needs a manager

there will be riots in the garden if quickley doesn’t get his extension

omg hartenstein fuck off dude

Zinger seems like a good fit in Boston

Hartensteins frowny face was definitely very funny

there was a lot to like about porzingis in that game but my favorite is how hard he played on both ends

wemby blocking kyrie is cleansing my spirit

devin vassell will be an all-star at least once

he's killing the mavs rn

wemby 3 pts 2 reb through one quarter -- should the bust talk begin??

what im most impressed with re:devo rn is his drives. he came into the league as a perimeter shooter. last couple of years he developed 1-2 dribble moves to the midrange, but would still get bullied at the cup. now he's driving with purpose and getting good looks. 3-level scoring and a good defender!

Trae was awful and the hawks lost but jalen Johnson is the real fucking deal

blazers turn the ball over 3 seconds into the season

hah i think i just put it together that the wizard's two main guys are kuzma and poole, may not be the most rocksteady combo

has Luka always been this red? did he get sunburned or something?

This is your welcome to the league moment

Andre Drummond just stripped Chet Holmgren then broke his ankles lol pic.twitter.com/jqm2jQGRFG

let's not talk about breaking Chet's ankles

a grant williams flop took away a wemby 3

i didnt think it was possible for me to hate the mavs more than i already do but luka's whiny hardenesque game plus kyrie plus cubes is just unbearable

lol embarrassing for chet

grant williams one man break lol gotta stop the ball

grant and luka are wearing the same shoes, lukas no doubt, is grant lukas sidekick now are they going to do this every game

grant is immediately their third best player. i think a lot more teams should’ve been after him. not sure you want him to be your third player tho. what’s the upper limit of threes per game for grant? cuz he’s on pace for 8 tonight

man OKC steamrolled the bulls

i can’t think of a single good argument as to why the bulls shouldn’t be racing to the bottom of the league this year. and yet

with starters minutes grant could prob put up five threes a game, pretty limited offensive player but he can hit a catch and shoot three, even a single dribble relocation

does look like he worked on speeding up his release which is good

man OKC steamrolled the bulls

i can’t think of a single good argument as to why the bulls shouldn’t be racing to the bottom of the league this year. and yet

jerry reinsdorf is a weird guy who just kinda does whatever from what i can tell

xps - the bulls FO would have to own up to the recent bad moves they made and repudiate all the glowing hype they shoveled at their fans in order to embrace racing to the bottom of the league.

kinda funny they went out and got all these low level all stars but didnt bother to hold on to markkanen

when it’s game 1 of the season

Billy Donovan says when he walked into the Bulls locker room tonight, players were already in heated conversations.

He asked if they wanted him to leave to handle conflict. Players said yes, so he did.

Donovan emphasized that embracing conflict is key for this year’s roster.

oh no lol

i see wemby is getting the ol ref hazing treatment

and i see derrick lively jr is the new deandre jordan, shit

theyre doing a new thing in this game where kid is miced up and theyre just playing his feed live sometimes, thats an original annoying idea lol you can only tip your cap, love to hear some hoarse sleep deprived weirdo yell ice five times in quick succession

sound design is nice tho its sounds like in game noise rather than like the announcers mics

ah ok they explained themselves thought they were just trying to sneak that by us

forgot about kidd adding to the mavs villain quotient

Tony he grabbed the rim!!

this is a horrific new technology

cant believe players have to go their whole lives with annoying guys yelling at them

wemby bout to foul out

friends, i hate it!

its ok sometimes you are a very tall french man who fouls out of his first nba game

just the way it goes

it's just his real nba first game, bise. it'll all smooth out. presumably the refs and the opposing players haven't ever seen anything quite like this kid and he's got plenty of adjusting to do, too.

hmm maybe, or maybe someone should search tony brothers' pockets for a big fat check from one mark cuban!!!

he would probably pay him in worthless crypto currency

here's an idea keep lobbing it to Wemby
