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

Ant playing HORSE during live NBA games lol

Anthony Edwards has (intentionally) banked in 3s and free throws this week.

Ant when asked what's next: "Left-hand jumper. It’s coming soon. You saw it, right? I beat Mike. Y’all saw that. So yeah, a left-hand jumper is definitely coming. If we’re in the fourth, up 20-plus, and…

what happened to the bucks offense is it cause middletons been out, defense is better, if they could get the offense back to what it was and keep the defense in the top half theyd be good

all that stuff about them running really hot and also on the league's easiest first half / hardest second half schedule is bearing out now

doc coaching the all star game is so funny

what happened to the bucks offense is it cause middletons been out, defense is better, if they could get the offense back to what it was and keep the defense in the top half theyd be good

Dame is just flat out bad this year and that’s like 75% of their problem

yeah that the sched/luck stuff and middleton being out is prob it, and maybe some discombobulation due to having two new coaches so far this year

yeah pretty sure they are like a 48 win team that might win a few more than that due to the early season luck but it'll still be seen as a failure. extremely funny situation for doc to step into midseason

yeah i wonder what is thought process was regarding that, obvs he got a shitload of money, and he has a perennial mvp candidate, so both of those are good, but did he think he was gonna come in and turn this ship around

Probably just felt good to be wanted.

needed to get back in the game

lol

New for @FOXSports: Doc Rivers said Saturday that he wanted to wait for the All-Star break to take Bucks job.

“Taking a job when you’re about to go on the toughest road trip of the season is not the smartest decision. I even told them that: ‘Can we wait ‘til All-Star break?’ It…

So Doc’s not responsible for the losses he coached prior to all-star break cos he didn’t even want to be there yet. Sure

The Brooklyn Nets dismissed coach Jacque Vaughn on Monday morning, sources tell ESPN. pic.twitter.com/WjGyf1jONY

beard was just too big

heh

A former Nets assistant coach, Vaughn was promoted to interim head coach on Nov. 1, 2022, after the team parted ways with Steve Nash. He was named the permanent coach about a week later, then signed a multiyear contract extension on Feb. 21, 2023.

nets are a mess man whatre they even about

quietly one of the worst-run teams out there

they have no fans, when the celtics play there its like a home game, pitiful

nets games have been insanely cheap this year, the city is completely checked out on them. i saw KD’s return a few weeks ago for less than $30. up until tip off i thought there was something i was not understanding about the line ups, i kept checking to twitter expecting to find out that booker and beal were sitting or something but no. ppl just would rather not

why have two nba teams in one city theres no call for it

Los Angeles to thread

exactly

Build around ben Simmons in 2024, you say?

Mikal Bridges was “pretty vocal behind the scenes” about Jacque Vaughn’s offensive scheme, per @ShamsCharania on @RunItBackFDTV.

Vaughn’s offense heading into the season was planned to be primarily built around Ben Simmons, who has only played in 12 games this season. pic.twitter.com/PgDi36dV7Y

Minnesota Timberwolves G Mike Conley Jr. has agreed on a two-year $21 million extension, Steven Heumann and Jess Holtz of @CAA_Basketball tell ESPN. The Timberwolves keep Conley Jr. out of summer free agency and in backcourt thru 2025-2026. pic.twitter.com/M9MSc3zdsr

lmao xp

Vaughn’s offense heading into the season was planned to be primarily built around Ben Simmons

rly? smdh. so vaughn failed to notice that simmons is about as thoroughly cooked as a 27 year old former number one pick and rookie of the year could ever be? it would be like building your offense around brandon roy back in 2011, except simmons has no jump shot.

theyd probably have picked up some fans over time if they actually built a team rather than aborting all their rebuilds halfway through to trade for cooked stars

theyve been in brooklyn for more than a decade now and have yet to build a team

yep

Doc is just too open sometimes lmao

"I told [the Bucks ownership], 'I don't know why you're doing this... They said, 'It doesn't matter, we've done it now. We want you.'"

Doc Rivers said he was surprised to get the call from Milwaukee 😯

Blake Griffin's greatest performance as a Clipper was probably this Austin Rivers impression 😂 pic.twitter.com/JzSWN6vSm2

Statistically inaccurate statement, buttttt if we want to talk about someone whose career got saved by Doc… 🐸 ☕️ https://t.co/J1cthJP35m

espn even allowing him to comment on the situation is pure nonsense, just begging for clicks
