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

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

maybe they can find a 2 who can play defense and hit a wide open 3, they dont really need more than that considering they have dame and giannis, both beasley and pat c can do more on offense but cant really defend, shameful for pat considering hes got great size and athleticism

too bad they traded away rock solid starter grayson allen

Are the bucks ok?

might take them a min to figure it out

celtics meanwhile second 40+ point first quarter in a row

first time theyve done that since 1982 apparently

never had back to back 75 point first halfs before tonight, surprising info

truly abominable first half from the nuggets tonight lol

nuggs getting wreck smh

pelicans were down 22 to okc, up 12 currently

kinda love the zion spread offense

its easy to forget how good kawhi is since he never plays but he is very good

bucks are going to have to "figure out" the perimeter defense

dennis schroder 24pts on 13fga + 11ast

I literally have zero idea what the Minnesota Timberwolves are going to do from game to game, so weird

trick or treat timberwolves

memphis getting smoked by the jazz, it's starting to get away from them

re: bucks, it's probably reasonable to ask if they downgraded their coaching, at least for regular season purposes.

yeah bringing a rookie coach into a contender is always dicey

also was thinking bucks have played a giannis centric game his whole career, bringing in dame is a big change

yeah it's definitely a few things, new coach new superstar, also middleton is now a shell of himself instead of a third option.

they could figure it out but it doesn't feel solid when you look at who's playing up and down their rotation.

its true as of now theres a lot of questions

broadcasters talking about austin reaves early season struggles as if hes some proven vet "hell get there it might take a little time but you know hell get there" "you can never question his effort" lakers pr needs to be studied by science
