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

think he mightve just hurt his thumb tho

Oh man, Jalen Suggs. This looked bad. pic.twitter.com/MEe4JxTaBE

he’s got thick tape wound around his wrist and two fingers are taped together

He came back from an ankle sprang after like one game. Must just be one of those got that dawg in him guys.

he def has that dawg but his coach should tell him to sit

anyway he didnt start the 2nd half

Surely the pistons will fire Monty before the night is through?

jesus christ how they be this bad

suggs is back again his entire hand and wrist is covered with tape now

Love Cade. 100% believe in his future. And the last half of this season he had be pretty damn good.

However.

Pistons have approached an area where they are going to do irreversible damage to him and his development

I’ve never seen him look this disengaged before.

embiid shot 16 fts in 29 minutes tonight

I’ll play for the pistons. I’ll keep it positive.

thats the attitude

they've now reached the fucked up level of being really bad where things happen like james wiseman having the best box score line because 2/3rds of the game will have been garbage time

pacers lost to the wiz, not good

celtics bench guys really came to play tonight

they were bombing threes love to see it

xp lakers losing to spurs too, maybe some IST hangover effect

i like that with stevens brissett and queta the celtics have three bench guys where "rugged" is one of the first 3 adjectives you would use to describe them

pistons are the only team left who cannot win games now

ad and dlo out for this game, also the spurs finally looked like an nba team for the first time in a month

Dillon just buried the Grizzlies on his first game back in Memphis

Anddddddd… Brad Beal to the locker room with a bad ankle turn (flagrant foul got stepped under on a three)

Brunson dropped 50 on the suns

the dillon brooks dagger 3 in memphis was hysterical. i think if i was a grizz fan i’d have to take a week off after that

both sides prob just needed to move on but frankly seems like memphis would’ve been better off just signing brooks to the money he got from houston and keeping tyus jones rather than giving up both and two firsts for marcus smart

24 second half points and the three point dagger the basketball gods are handing out cruel and unusual punishment to grizzlies fans this year

yeah it’s impossible to put a price on the change of scenery but the smart trade aspect of it is not going to look good.

it does seem like that, seems like it shouldve be obvious at the time too, but the thing we have to consider is that dillon brooks is very annoying to be around

celtics getting draft picks and zinger for smart is looking pretty nice right now

Detrioot down 26 to start the 2nd

they’ve given up 54 points in 14 minutes.

they have to do something, right?

they couldve justified being this shitty last year bc wemby, rn its just massive dysfunction

heads should roll. maybe some assistants, too.

78 million dollar heads

The Spurs have climbed to a top-5 defense with a 111.1 DRTG since Victor Wembanyama started playing center.

They were ranked dead last before, with a 119.5 defensive rating.

Having Wemby at the 5 position could be the game-changer San Antonio needs 👀 pic.twitter.com/FToQPWko22

supports my "zach collins is not a starting 5" agenda

Looking the scores, pistons not as lol as hornets with <60 points in the 4th and losing to Philly by 40.

nice of the NBA to make sure the reigning MVP doesn’t play a good defense all year

hmm yeah the whole spurs not playing their guys at the right positions, not playing the right guys, letting the guys who were playing just kinda do whatever was an interesting choice

pop's a frickin genius for putting the extremely tall guy at center i must admit

noticed the decision was also made to stop playing jeremy sochan a man who had never played point guard in his life at point guard but instead let the guys who usually play at guard do it instead

Thunder Nuggs was good. Jamal hit a big shot then sga got the game winner

sighhhh

chet was amazing

Holy smokes Keegan has 45 through three and is 12/13 from three! Might not need to play the 4th sadly, fix sitting this game out.

He’s back in

Phoenix Suns star Bradley Beal is likely to miss a few weeks with his right ankle injury, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Good news for Beal is testing showed no major ankle damage, but it's another setback for Beal after the scary landing on a Knicks closeout Friday night. pic.twitter.com/a7Z8MA71Ue

Keegan 26 pts in the 3rd, 47 pts for the game. pretty good.

That 3rd was special

i have watched the keegan murray highlights and in conclusion the jazz should look into guarding the 3pt line
