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

Lol at this promo of the players trying to muster enthusiasm for the in-season tournament. They should hold up a newspaper so we know the hostages are still alive.

puro pinche grayson

its pretty funny that the suns chose lowriders to celebrate chicano culture but at the same time yeah theyre pretty sick

why do these guys part their hair at the side of their skull i don't get it

yeah the custom car they built for this looks incredible. booker leaning into his mexican heritage has gone over very well in the valley.

its pretty cool, booker turned out to be a cool guy

ah a bucks fan hit a halfcourt shot for 10k very nice

Watching dubs at OKC. The blue court isn’t ideal for watching the game. Judging by the score, the players don’t seem to mind tho

had no idea gallo was getting minutes for the wiz

both dame and giannis have had up and down calls go against them in the first half, rare

Dubs with 11 TOs at 5 min left in the 2nd.

OKC with like 8 guys that can shoot the 3 from the wing

adrian griffin just said that the players told him he needed to go back to drop overage with lopez lol, and to his credit he did it

celtics sold at the right time

i forgot about avery bradley until now but that was kinda similar, guy with overinflated defensive rep sucking as soon as he left the celtics

i was just thinking about the smart trade from the grizzlies perspective and uh, it's a little dicey

smart’s defensive rep was only slightly inflated (the year he won DPOY). bradley was a diff story. also just much worse in general

if he’s just lost a step then it won’t be what they wanted but i feel like he’ll still be pretty good at least the next two years. and he really isn’t paid a ton

you do have to wonder if they would’ve made a diff series of moves if they knew that adams was gonna miss the season tho

pacers will win the nba mid season tournament

same

i don't think smart will suddenly be bad or anything but they traded two firsts and their backup point guard who was actually important for them, and i'm not sure i understand what the objective was

and he played starting point guard when ja was out which was a lot and they were good

now hes on the wizards whats the point of that

bruson with a huge game tonight wonder whos guarding him hold on i will check who plays point guard for the bucks now

welp the bucks won, barely, they didnt look great they didnt look bad they looked ok, the dame giannis synergy is not really happening yet

that’s two winnable games blown by the knicks vs playoff teams in this young season

the nuggets court just makes it hard to see the ball

certainly not affecting offense tho lol

yeah this is bad, also not enough contrast with the nuggs black uniforms

I think if they went with like a powder blue it might be fine, I also thought the bucks court which was basically normal color except the extended lane was totally fine

yeah that was whatever

this nuggs court is too dark, and also too much contrast with the lane thing

grizzlies do not have We Are A Real Basketball Team vibes

Dubs okc is insane. Dort was 9/9 at one point including 5 straight threes. Giddy then did the same thing in the third. Then the refs took over with sone of the worst calls you’ll ever see, both ways. Both teams shooting wild percentages. Dray just goaltended curry’s game winner. Likely going to OT

Anddddd they overturned the dray goaltend call!

I was watching that but on hoopervision(TM)

lmao doncic just bullied the mavs acting head coach into a challenge call in the 2Q

he was really selling it

ooh I didn’t know you get another challenge if the first one is successful this year

yeah its whats everyone was clamoring for more challenges

broadcasters openly talking about how annoying grant williams is

dude doc’s comments on that were so funny

doc was talking like he coached grant but no he just found him annoying from afar

doc’s pretty good btw

Dubs OKC was an insane game. All praise to the in-season tourney.

the most wonderful time of the year

yeah i always kinda liked doc as a broadcaster

He’s great

jokic buzzer beater :)
