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

I mean if anyone’s earned the right it’s pop but i have definitely never seen anything like that

One of the lamest things I’ve ever seen haha

shades of ian mackaye yelling at people for moshing

cannot fault pop for protecting his guys, even when they're no longer his guys. you gonna shit on him for hugging demar too?

also ian was correct

i don't support booing, it's stupid, but pretending to be everyone's dad is also stupid

booing is fine imo! but booing a guy because *your team* traded him elsewhere is stupid

That’s def the whole story

cannot fault pop for protecting his guys, even when they're no longer his guys. you gonna shit on him for hugging demar too?

I mean this was mid free throw routine!

idk, serious red-asses do not tolerate fraternization

lol thats some shit from pop hes not done innovating

pop is primarying biden i think this is pretty transparent

reaching across the aisle

funny thing was the spurs crowd just booed harder after that

and like the spurs played a lil better afterwards, too

but i def gave cranky principal yelling at kids in an assembly at the auditorium kinda vibe

*it

it was also the first time in my life that i thought maybe pop should hang it up bc how distracted are you from the game that you have time to yell at your hometown fans razzing on kawhi fuckin leonard

Absolutely deranged for Steve Kerr to just keep rolling with this bench lineup in a game that might actually matter and on a night where Klay was hot. This ending is absurd

I don’t really blame him honestly. He tried them back when they got it to 10 and it immediately ballooned to 17.

What’s up with Scoot?

he's bad

Just sayin there’s no way Pop didn’t know this was gonna happen

Just chiming in late to agree with goon on Orlando. Not sure it’s really going anywhere special

Ah shit Middleton’s hurt again

brunson

Nuggets shoulda paid Bruce brown

Gary Payton jr is gonna be bragging to his kids, grandkids and great grandkids about this block. Wemby is 13" or 14" taller.

sick shot especially when you consider who he was on the court with

lol man booker is ice cold, amazing

grizzlies at 3-13, seems over...if ja comes back at 6-19 or something i don't know how much of a run you can really go on in the west this year

yeah they're done

ja fall from grace really is some shit

they are probably totally fucked, but even still you’d expect them to finish ahead of portland and utah, who are only 1 and 2 games ahead of them in the standings, respectively

if you clear those teams out, memphis would need to finish ahead of two of the following teams to get into the play in: clippers, pelicans, rockets, lakers, kings, mavs. (i’d prob consider the remaining teams — wolves, thunder, suns, nuggets — to be playoff locks.) it’s not impossible but it’s definitely unlikely. they will prob need a months long injury from one or two of those other teams

long term i think they’re probably ok — ja should be fine once he gets back on the court. they have 2 other really good young players. but i think a lesson they do have to take away from this season, even taking injury into account, is that their roster around those 3 guys isn’t as good as they thought

maybe ja is learning to shoot in his time off

yeah let’s hope not — oh wait you mean the other kind of shooting

ayy

he did shoot 41% from 3 (13-39) in round 1 last year

if he can do that all the time its good

he'd be the best player in the league

if he could get to the point where hes really hunting threes and hitting them yeah hed be a top guy

9 game losing streak vs. 13 game losing streak. it’s all come down to this. pic.twitter.com/4CJOTM92Li

I‘m pretty bearish on them long-term, they’re in a conference with several other ascendant teams and they don’t have a real 1A guy. starting next year they’ll probably be a perennial playoff team but as far as championship contention goes they’re never going to have the best player on the floor in a late-round playoff series, and they’re going to be paying ja as if he’s that guy
