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

dray needs to play with that edge to be successful, the edge where sometimes you choke a guy out

also he had a clear view of the situation and immediately went after Gobert who was not even really involved. like he woke up and just went I'm gonna try to kill Rudy Gobert today

miles bridges essentially got a 10 game suspension for felony domestic violence. i think this draymond choke is going to register less in the league office than you guys think…

and yeah if he just puts him in a brief headlock it's one thing but watching that actually made me anxious

he's really skated by being on a team with such a positive sentiment over the years, like he owes steph royalties because i don't think his act would have worked if he had been on the rockets or something

i think my favorite part of the video is KAT having no ability to offer gobert assistance in that moment

like he woke up and just went I'm gonna try to kill Rudy Gobert today

who among us

sure, it's all fun and games until you choke someone into unconsciousness

miles bridges had the good sense to do it away from the sponsors

"My leg got grabbed -- the second time in two nights -- and the referee is just watching. I got to land my foot somewhere, and I'm not the most flexible person, so it's not stretching that far. ... I can only step so far with someone pulling my leg away."

draymond after he jumped onto sabonis' chest last spring

i totally forgot about the sabonis stomp. that one didn’t make a lot of sense

miles bridge hasnt played in the nba since the 21-22 season fwiw

i have spent months thinking about draymond being like "well i gotta jump on somebody when my leg gets touched!"

its just common sense

I mean Lavator is right, in the NFL when Ray Rice punched his wife out on an elevator he initially got 2 games and it wasn't a huge story but when TMZ found the video suddenly he got a full year and nobody would touch him afterwards. even though they all knew what was on it at first. I mean the shot of the chokehold is all over social media right now this really looks awful for the league

this hbo max commercial with ernie where hes all the planet is a fucking mess but sports is great escapism which is good for the soul btw is very silly

can't be sad about politics and icebergs when we got the three ball baby

marcus smart fucked up his ankle looks like

sport is good escapism
heh yeah cant argue with that brother and really whats the harm
escapism is good for the the soul
i hear ya wait what

lol

Fight time 😊😊😊😊😊😊

every season silver retroactively rescinds techs to keep guys (luka and draymond) from being auto suspended after accruing too many techs. he is prob the most suspension averse commissioner in modern sports history

Dray prob 3 games. 5 if silvers feeling frosty.

yeah smthg like that prob

Not sure a tweet from April 13, 2014 is relevant here.

Draymond has to be the first person in NBA history to strangle an opponent when the score was still 0-0.

Gobert on Draymond: “Every time Steph doesn’t play, he doesn’t want to play without his guy Steph so he does anything he can to get ejected.”

— Jon Krawczynski (@JonKrawczynski) November 15, 2023

there’s something quite poetic about gobert having the revelation that draymond is going to try and get ejected during the game and then a mere hours later draymond is seized onto his neck like a rabid dog

Gobert called Green’s choke “clown behavior.” Said he knew as soon as he heard Steph was out, he knew Draymond was going to try to get ejected

he was launching threes really confidently in the playoffs last year which seems to have carried over so far this year if he can be a consistent threat from deep thats huge

was a real sign of maturity for the wolves last night that they didn't let the fracas distract them from the larger goal of the team

lolclippers btw things seem to be going well there

sad they actually played their first good game with harden last night but it came against the nuggets so they still lost, shouldve picked a different game to play good

was watching highlights of Jovic beating them up in the paint late game with Zubac on the bench, seemed odd imo

I think I would rather the Sixers keep Harris and trade for Anunoby instead of Siakam.

suspect the raptors are less inclined to move og as hes younger and therefor more on barnes timeline, and he prob has more value around the league so the sixers likely dont have what it takes to get him even if the raptors would move him, they might not have what it takes to get siakim but the fact that hes older and is due a huge deal makes it maybe possible, also the fact that hes been telling everyone hes doesnt want to leave toronto (obvs because he can get the super max if he stays tho hes not saying that) could depress his value enough that the get him for the harden pupu platter of one bad pick one good pick and a dece swap + harris expiring
