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

Allen Iverson, the guy we were talking about?

Ah well nevertheless

Ben Simmons is experiencing some nerve irritation on the lower left side of his body and is expected to miss some time, per his agent

"the lower left side of his body"

hes done get him outta here

damn he was +3 for the season (FGs - PFs)

im ready for the point sochan experiment to end

hes a great defender, but this offense is an absolute wreck, and all the misses and turnovers lead to easy transition looks the other way

there are some things about what the spurs are doing that might make you wonder if they want to win games this season

its less than ideal!

but getting a high draft pick, maybe good

they shd draft bronny and get bron for a year or two, things of that nature

lol pop bron and bronny on the same team is like some spin off sitcom

watching pistons-hawks and admittedly I have not watched much pistons the past couple of years but is the general consensus that case is on the star track? he’s a solid passer, but what else does he do?

cade*

hes a good smart all around player, be a great second option

i think if he was on a good team hed be pretty nice, dont think hes winning any mvps tho

yeah it doesn’t really seem like he’s a main guy type, he might think he is tho

on the pistons he is lol

he seems like a victim of that thing where prospects are compared to guys who recently preceded them and whose games they only vaguely resemble, so it was decided that cade would be an oversized point guard who's on the ball a lot.

he can defintely dish it but he’s not really a first option type scorer at this point, definitely might be asked to do a lil too much at this point given the offensive talent on the team

alert the sixers lost a game

lol pop bron and bronny on the same team is like some spin off sitcom

― lag∞n,

i ran this through chatgpt (with wemby as a character as well) and it wasn't bad tbh

The glue holding this diverse group together is Coach Popovich, whose stoic demeanor on the court contrasts with his unexpected, quirky sense of humor off the court. As the unlikely mentor and father figure to this basketball-centric family, Coach Popovich adds a touch of wisdom and wit to their everyday shenanigans.

correct

they could have a podcast

i’ve seen several games where cade looks like an all NBA player. i think the bigger problem is that the two perimeter guys who play 30 mpg for them are ausar thompson and killian hayes. they are shooting 40/15 and 40/32 on the year respectively. their two best shooters are isiah stewart and alec burks. i just think it’s a disaster of a roster especially for a guy who is more of a basketball player than an athletic freak. i don’t think it’s a coincidence that he went to the team usa camp and got on the floor with real players & ppl were talking about him as one of the best guys on either roster

just saw harden take an actual catch and shoot 3 (he missed)

he made one after that tho sadly

kawhi looks like a small child getting switched onto jokic down low, jokic is so ridiculously strong

hes been waiting to do this forever pic.twitter.com/b5ZmWzgyWw

uhhh… this should be a extremely significant suspension

what the fuck

Klay and dray ejected 90 seconds into the game

pretty sure one player could beat another with a hammer and not be suspended by silver for more than 3 games

i hate draymond so much lol

Think dray saw Gobert get klay around the neck and snapped

hahahaha i wanna be mad i promise but hahhaaha

uhh yeah the NBA's kinda gonna have to do something about that one even if it was Rudy Gobert

gobert didn't do anything there that was above and beyond what other people were doing

putting a guy in a chokehold is uh kind of a no-no across various walks of life and to hold it for like 10 seconds as he’s tapping out???

no but like if they did an anonymous survey of "which NBA player deserves a chokehold" Gobert would def be top 5

but yeah maybe I shouldn't joke about this that was like Kermit Washington-level borderline trying to kill the guy shit

i hate draymond so much lol

― call all destroyer,

i get it, we all know rudy gobert sucks but the guy who enjoys punching his teammates doesn't get the benefit of the doubt here

although imagine if the Kermit Washington punch happened 90 seconds into the game lol

kat had dray in a headlock at the end there human centipede style

dray with a player option for 28 mil in 2027 lightyears ahead

lol

hah

Draymond had already gotten ejected last game, too.

i don't want to sound like a 75 year old sports crank here but i feel like if one of your players violently assaults another you have to find a way to get rid of him, otherwise this kind of shit is always on the table

i guess draymond is a bit of a special case but whoever thinks he is gonna get suspended for a bunch of games should refer back to the jokic-markieff morris incident

they're gonna have to do something pretty significant, you can't let a violent chokehold be a 2-3 game thing
