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

lol xp

has there been any trustworthy intel on why he was fired? clearly it can’t have JUST been an x’s and o’s thing

it kind of seems like it was though? windhorst had the espn bucks/bulls guy on his pod and that guy was saying he was a nice guy and people liked working with him. following the quotes they're all about issues w/strategy and process.

yeah been looking and so far its all just about how the coaching was bad

grizz have been winning games despite the whole team being injured, not sure what their deal is

the blazers are good now

apologies to k3v but the best center in the league is deandre ayton

dominayton

he understands the game mentally because he has put in the hours playing simulations

literally just got to this part of that podcast — something just doesn’t seem like it adds up, the terry stotts thing still looms for me as a red flag and that video of the team dancing is…interesting given the context. but maybe they all just didn’t like him because they knew he was in way over his head and felt the urgency

yeah theres gotta be some drama in there somewhere

total speculation here, but there doesn't have to be a neat binary between Xs and Os and a personality problem with the coach.

if the team knew that the coach's offensive and defensive systems that they were expected to follow were not working on the court with the mix of players on the roster, but adrian wasn't open to the players telling him that his system was wrong for them, but insisted they just weren't running it properly, that could lead to some pretty raw frustrations on both sides, even if adrian is an otherwise nice guy. as I said, total speculation.

Unseld canned

Unseld compiled a record of 77-130 (.372) in his two-plus seasons with the team. Wizards will have an interim coach for the season and hire a full-time coach in the offseason. https://t.co/4ozhG6PbCe

he almost got it!

you know whats funny is ant said he was inspired by someone doing it in the allstar game, he was prob referring to tmacs very famous dunk, which happened when he was an infant

it isn’t my money but was this really necessary…

Sources: Doc Rivers is signing a contract through the 2026-27 season worth in the range of $40 million to be the Bucks’ head coach. Milwaukee is paying out former coaches Mike Budenholzer and Adrian Griffin, and now Rivers for next 3.5 years. pic.twitter.com/TJNafNFms9

all-star starters

east: giannis, embiid, tatum, hali, dame
west: lebron, kd, jokic, luka, shai

hali in another success for the in season tournament

wow, when was the last time steph wasnt a starter?

yeah thats wild figured he couldve skated in forever

celtics 13 shots in a row

other than dame it’s hard to find much fault with that group. the east guards are a lot weaker than the west

how huge this is for heat if you can get josh richardser going --reggie miller

Embiid with a slightly awkward landing leads to a concerning sight as he is clearly in pain with the right knee pic.twitter.com/5NDQbif270

at least he got up

guess hes still playing

prob gonna miss that game in denver tho haha

celtics 77 point first half

pacers wrecking the sixers without hali

when indys clicking its some nice basketball

tired: sixers are better than the bucks
wired: pacers are better than the bucks and sixers

Knicks title favs with OG

*hood spiderman voice*

zinger injured looks like that same calf thats been troubling him most of the year

maybe a rolled ankle actually

anunoby +38 in 22 mins so far

Dame starting is funny, having a doodoo season and gets his first start

mikal brdiges fouled down two with 2.4 seconds left, misses, then commits a lane violation on the intentional miss

Book 52 through 3
