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

you dont get that secondary population centers in metro areas situation in other sports too much, like even when the warriors were in oakland they didnt claim it, tho the raiders did, nhl has jersey long island anaheim

columbus only has hockey even tho its bigger than cincinnati which has football and baseball, difference is columbus is a newer growing city where the cleveland is shrinking and cini is pretty stable, youd think columbus will get more teams eventually

oh forgot about the san jose sharks

cannot help but hear that name in my grandmothers olde timey despite having lived in california for almost all of her adult life boston accent, they were all about the sharks when they first got there, it was a big deal for san jose

yeah i forgot san jose and st louis in that list

also pittsburgh which is one of the few 3-sport no-nba cities

they shd get nba black and yellow is cool

seattle and tampa are the only others i think. obv tampa is because the nba went in orlando instead though

st louis used to be, twice

another case for nba jomboy

men will literally become a successful NBA coach instead of going to therapy

lol

Lebron is so mature lol

lebrons too old for this shit

theres only 7 nba players older than me this year. its almost over folks

Udonis was the last one older than me

wonder if lebron can outlast the others despite being the oldest, seems likely unless he finally has a big injury

yeah, given the jump from udonis last season to lebron this season, i bet this is the first season for a few ilhers being older than all the current nba players.

lebron could probably stay on a roster until he’s 50 if he wanted to. some franchise would pay him just to be around and roll him out for like 10 mins a game vs back ups to let him hit some fadeaway post jumpers

he can do whatever he wants. personally i hope he opens up a dunking booth where ppl can pay to take a charge against lebron dunking on you but you fall into a big pool of water after he plows you

congratulations to our friends

can't forget that one frenemy who i still follow on instagram for some reason

Julius Randle is an absolute MACHINE 👏 pic.twitter.com/2SVWTtgpUC

rejoice, the IST is upon us

Is Julius Randle gonna be an all star again???

we simply cant have it

he was an all-star over brunson last year, can't imagine that happens again. will both make it tho?

hes shooting 41/28/70 right now so im just not going to worry about it

tough to watch my two favorite teams square off like this i want them both to do well

wonder if the refs are gonna call this like a playoff game, or maybe they have some special new style for this new tourney

I must root for bruce brown in this highly anticipated “IST tournament” matchup tonight

Pacers might’ve crested during the Hali-less win vs Miami. Just hoping they keep things close until the 4h.

this is not the high scoring affair we were promised

One of these teams is still hitting 100 by the end of the 3rd quarter.

Boston strategy of “keeping things close” seems to be working.

gotta keep it close baby

Indy playing like they’ve never seen interior defense / rim protection.

Love the blue and yellow floor. I was on the fence but now I will stan the in season tourney

Indy playing like they’ve never seen interior defense / rim protection.

welcome to the indiana pacers fan experience

They usually see less because they’re in transition.

Young Pacers is the type of team Horford is going to pick apart

An underrated and worrying thing in Summer League was watching Mahurin play a few games and put up a bunch of points, but boy did he look rough trying to finish through contact, which is bad news because that’s his thing atm. He’s still in development mode for another season so who cares, just hope he’s able to become the Jimmy Butler-type player he’s clearly working toward.

this 3rd quarter is more what i was expecting

or at least the last couple minutes

hali hitting some crazy 3s

hali is low key goated if being the next young chris paul is the vibe

gotta be the weirdest-looking-shot good shooter weve seen since... kevin martin?

looks more like steph with that 3pt range

hes better than martin but also not as weird

i just mean form, of course hes better!

hali is pretty weird tho

martin had a lonzo ball style shooting from the wrong side shot
