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

damn sucks

he should talk to steph

lavar should become a super hyped orthopedic doctor

lol

celtics up 29 after 3, genuinely interested to see how hard they try to hold the margin

would be funny if they just go to early garbage time

lol hauser put back dunk hes a beast now

they're all flying around out there

it helps that the bulls are incredibly soft

bulls are bad man not a good team

lmao celtics going to the hack a drummond up 29

he missed four in a row

one thing i'm getting is that these tiebreakers, although compelling, are way too complicated for normal people

yeah i dont really have any idea what the deal is i heard they needed to win by 23 but now im learning that might not be enough contingent on other games

i mean not that i couldnt have tried to figure it out but i didnt care enough

yeah they need to win by 23 and the nets need to beat the raptors, otherwise they would have needed to win by like 32

mazzulla white flags it at 2 minutes, seems reasonable

played the guys longer than he would have prob

it was an interesting dynamic, he was definitely seeing if the starters could blow the lead out to the mid 30s but they had a couple bad possessions and he called it

point differential is simple & intuitive w/in groups the issue with this system is that once you get to the wild card you start matching up teams in different groups & it becomes this maze of if x beats y and a beats b and d beats e etc

nets up by 8 with a minute left

thinking about how many of these demented 3 minute children’s performance art shows I’ve seen in 15 or so years of league pass

giving up 124 points to a heat team without jimmy… the bucks are gonna have to figure out another brand of basketball bcuz you aren’t winning many 131-124 games in may/june

xp was genuinely in suspense for the first 40 seconds of that

dame beasley backcourt is just not going to work two of the worst defending guards in the league

Before today, Miami hadn't made more than 14 shots at the rim against Milwaukee in the past five seasons.

Today they made 20, with 14 of those coming from Bam, Caleb and Jaime.

aside from the backcourt stuff (i don’t think beasley will get any playoff minutes for them) there is also the fact that they are just old. we know middleton has lost a step. brook is 35 having to jump at the rim every possession. not only did giannis get crossed up by robinson but jaquez got him too. he looked a little cement shoe-y against guys who are not exactly allen iverson. maybe there was a reason bud never used him as a perimeter defender? they don’t really have a guy on their bench who is a stopper or something. it’s interesting

knicks won don't they beat the celtics for the wild card now?

celtics won their group i think

oh wait is there like a rock paper scissors thing with the celtics/magic/nets? is that why it skips head to head and goes to the point diff tiebreaker?

this is so arcane lol
