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

they are missing one of their "big three (3)" which means they are at 66.66666% strength, also the spurs are hitting like 314159 three pointers #math

listening to the suns crowd boo the officials...feels like 2007 all over again

75 seems like a lot of points for a bunch of young guys to lay on one of the Big Title Contenders in a half idk very interesting

noticed more than one broadcaster calling him wembanyaNa, idk why they like that better, i guess repeating the n feels more normal in english, regardless its not his name

its funny when wemby throws down a thunderous dunk youre like he really got up then you realize he jumped like a foot high

lmao i was just about the post abt that -yana thing, its just lazy af the name is v easy to pronounce!!!

this is like the 3rd time ive watched where a broadcaster cannot resist changing a letter bc they know it makes me mad

can u do microaggresions to a 7'4" guy? nba media aims to find out

reggie was doing it the other night too, these are people who talk as their job

it literally rhymes with "mama" which is the first word ever uttered by babies

theres def some sounds strung together in a not common in english way in his name but ultimately its not too hard, if i were a tv guy i would simply practice saying it for one minute

KD's at -20 ouch

kd is done weve got new kd now

feel like the spurs are starting to realize how easy it is to just throw it up to wemby where no one else can get it then he dunks

that’s what my gameplan would be if I was the spurs

if i played for the san antonio spurs basketball squadron i would simply never allow devin booker to shoot a basketball toward a basketball rim (hoop, which i love)

bates-diop looks pretty good for the suns

hes a good player, he had some random games for the spurs where he went awffff

Wemby ballin

He def doesn’t seem just happy to be out there, dude wants to win

KD and booker are both having quite good games but victor looks like the most unstoppable player on the floor

that three he just put on eubanks was disgusting

damn he’s cooking

En fuego

38 points in his 5th nba game

Already getting gravity assists too. Defense has to be aware and ready to help which opens up cuts

when he starts to shoot 50% from midrange and 40% from three with everything else he can do i’m not sure i understand how the other team will win

Spurs beat suns b2b in phx

Already getting gravity assists too. Defense has to be aware and ready to help which opens up cuts

it is literally unthinkable how good wemby is at 19 years old

like i think it should be a crime to try and think about it

funny thing is hes not even that good right now its just easy for him

when he memorizes all the stuff and what all the other guys usually do he’s gonna destroy us all

JFC just watched highlights! dude can not be real

it literally rhymes with "mama" which is the first word ever uttered by babies

Wembanyama there goes that man.

"Webanyama Mama" would be a great obscure rockabilly song

I apologize for the Mark Jackson content of my last post.

lol

Lol it writes itself. I may follow through with this. Get some nice nba licensing deal

Throw in a drama rhyme for the TNT tie in

wait uh so the in season tourney starts TONIGHT? ha i thought it was like after the new year or something.

get ready for regular season games except with a very painted court

yup, starts tonight

+ the semis and finals will be played in vegas

the theory is that by handing out bonus bucks to all the players on teams that advance, the players will try harder to advance, making early season games feel more meaningful.

the championship game is on dec 9 lol. it's funny because the tourney was framed as a way of making ppl care more about the regular season but the way they scheduled it makes it seem like the goal is to try and engage fans during football season specifically

It does seem very early in the season. Friday and Tuesday nights is smart to avoid football crossover. idk this seems kinda fun. they need the stars to care about and get up for it, though, thats the only way this will work.

feel like it could work in making people vaguely more aware that early season nba exists rather than just doing a cold start on christmas

yup
