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

im sure its nice for the nba to have more money sloshing around arod can have some if he wants

on monday the heat played the sixers without butler and herro and with embiid and tobias missing the game for the sixers

tonight the heat are playing the cavs without bam, herro, duncan robinson and with mitchell, mobley and strus missing the game for the cavs

some beat up teams out there rn

sounds extremely painful

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter suffered a dislocated left shoulder and a labral tear, team says.

basically your arm being ripped off but your body being like "wait hold on"

ouch that sucks

i hate it when that happens

oh well well well i see a certain giannis antetokounmpo is playing basketball tonight very interesting

its crazy that the knicks offense is just jalen brunson doing crazy drives every time and it works

you can get away with all sorts of stuff now that everyone can shoot threes

ingram hyperextended his knee, right when the pels were coming together. hopefully its not too bad

houston rockets seven in a row two games out of the play in

btw re ingram

Pelicans' Brandon Ingram has suffered a bone contusion in his left knee. Fortunate diagnosis for New Orleans and its star forward avoiding serious injury, but Ingram is expected to miss at least two weeks. pic.twitter.com/zw4ceRpKe8

wonder if embiid is coming back this year, even if he can is it a good idea

scanning the box scores…why did miles mcbride play 48:00 tonight?

thibs new fave

he’s good

knicks started four guards

Is Jalen green good now?

might just be hitting some threes, unclear

I’ve always said the warriors and bucks are two of my favorite teams

ah see weve got a classic squished by the chyron nbatv broadcast going here nice nice

giddy b2b 3s might not be the bucks night

bucks are playing hard trying to win

portis has bailed the bucks out several
times now

hes a key player for them, which, it is what it is

Yeah he’s maybe the best bench dude they’ve had since I started watching

lol the psycho Simon Says guy is doing the halftime for the Wolves/Warriors

bucks pulling away theyre playing good dorts bleeding

both giannis fts disqualified!

ive seen enough switching to the other game

clippers w all their guys lost to the sixers

Bucks are good when Middleton is healthy

they were really scrambling on d

they got lucky with bad okc 3pt shooting but they outplayed them anyway

pretty crazy looking at the standings right now, only 4 of the 20 playoff seeds appear locked in

boston & milwaukee are gonna be 1-2 in the east and chicago & atlanta will be the 9-10

but after that you’ve got

cavs-knicks-magic each separated by a half game in the 3-4-5

pacers-sixers-heat each separated by a half game in the 6-7-8

in the west…

nuggets-thunder-wolves separated by a half game in the 1-2-3

clippers-pelicans separated by a half game in the 4-5

suns-pelicans-mavs separated by a half game in the 6-7-8

lakers prob locked into the 9 at this point

and then warriors-rockets separated by a game in the 10-11

yeah look at the seed probabilities here https://www.basketball-reference.com/friv/playoff_prob.html and its basically five teams at 20% to be the 8th seed in the east, tho obvs the playin factors in there too

rooting for atlanta hawks lol

you cant just trade mikal bridges for a promising young player and multiple picks

The Brooklyn Nets reportedly turned down a trade offer from the Houston Rockets that included Jalen Green and multiple first-round picks for Mikal Bridges, per @ShamsCharania

apparently those were their picks that they sent out in the harden trade too so it wouldve made being bad this year worthwhile too

really crazy the rockets have basically gone nuclear since sengun went down

yeah, not great from a being sengun pov

shit i wouldn't have wanted jalen green either

im not a big green fan but it seemed like a pretty good deal

i know i've been bellyaching about the suns on this very thread, but their last 10 games are kind of insane gauntlet and i'm legitimately curious how they finish the season

kind of *an* insane gauntlet, i mean

if the west playin ends up being phx dal lal gs thats a ridiculous amount of star power for the playin

feeling very validated as a sengun doubter rn

Uh oh
