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

how about Marcus Morris and change to Portland for Malcolm Brogdon

i don't know if the sixers were ever involved in the beal discussions, and that contract blows chunks, and he might not even be that reliable to begin with. but he was basically acquired for free. i think dame is one you just charge to the game but i wonder if we're sitting here in june talking about how miami & philly should've been a lot more aggressive trying to go after him

yeah dicey sitch but maybe

i think some contender will inevitably add brogdon but the recent history w/ is pretty bad, will prob be an underwhelming acquisition

Maybe but he's healthy and playing well.

theres footage of beal shooting from this morning and he looks extremely stiff, not good

entirely possible that beal is just a grenade. but if he proves a capable third option, and the heat and sixers passed on him for very little, and they aren’t able to make a comparable move, i think there will be regret. but i’m also shorting the suns all season so

looks like brogdon will be traded for d-lo soon

he was real good for the celtics last year, until he got injured, great guy to add to a contender he can do a lot of stuff, unfortunately not reliable cause of the injuries tendency tho

i don't forget that he put up 21-10-4 in the bubble first round vs the heat. but he's been passed around so much that i feel like it's one where we don't have the full story as outsiders. i mean i guess we know the medical history is bad. but still

yeah i dont think theres any other reason really besides just injuries and circumstance, everyone on the celtics loved him hes a super even keeled smart good guy apparently

PBKR outing himself as a non-millennial…

Lol, I thought it would have been obvious long before that. I'm 51.

I've thought Brogdon would work great on the Sixers. They always seem to lack mid-level guys like him who can play with almost anyone.

KD vs slightly stretched out KD tonight

the spurs look really bad

i don't get this thing they're doing with sochan

I believe the 7th item on Afroman's platform addresses this issue

https://www.afromanforpresident.com/

are the knicks in the cavs’ heads? feels like that one is approaching one sided rivalry territory

i like the narrative but the cavs were not close to full strength tonight if we're being fair

i don't get this thing they're doing with sochan

i get the logic on defense. it's hypothetically the most versatile 1-4 they have on D. the problem is they have such difficulty setting up their offense that they cough the ball up and give up easy transition baskets, so that defense doesn't get as many opportunities to do the thing they're ostensibly designed to do.

dudes I'm buying the new ILH HQ

tre jones+wemby minutes have generally been better/more efficient. part of it is just a function of playing so many young guys (youngest team in the league!) but the offensive fit hasnt been great in these two road games.

xp

hahah that house is trying so hard to be normal but it just can't do it

wemby did a dunk

yawn. that's nice. has trae young dunked in an nba game, yet?

KD vs. Wemby is a real fun matchup

slender man vs slenderer man

the ease with which victor shoots catch and shoot jumpers coming off movement is hard to fathom

vic comes alive in the 4th, crazy competitive spirit

Victor Wembanyama makes it look EASY 😳 pic.twitter.com/bVka30yVfe

yeah thats pure talent

lmaooooooooooooo fuckkkkkkkk hahahahahaha

damnnn

big hands on that young man

If you're watching the Spurs this season, stay for the whole game:

Wemby in 4Q and OT: 33 points (13-18), 5 blocks
Wemby in quarters 1-3: 32 points (10-32), 4 blocks

not sure KD has much to complain about honestly

victor is a really enjoyable interview

Awesome finish. My valley friends are depressed tonight

i thought in the 4th quarter the suns looked like a team with two real NBA players (KD and nurkic) surrounded by a bunch of minimum contract guys

Yah pretty hard to win without your best and third best player when your team is all new to the team nba randoms

unfortunate to have your guys out at the start of the season

early season observation: so far the nuggets are the best team and the celtics are the second best team

bucks are going to have to "figure out" the perimeter defense, the thing people thought was going to be a problem is in fact a problem
