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

sometimes life is like that whatre you gonna do

it's funny I called the Celtics and told them to win and they said they really respect my opinion even though we have our differences so we will, thanks for your support UMS

great block by zinger

50 points for Malachi Flynn, April NBA baby

thats actually crazy tho

off the bench too whens the last time someone got 50 off the bench

only five threes too he wasnt just hoisting

thank you to the celtics for helping me and matt tonight

it is rare xp

Despite the loss, Malachi Flynn dropped FIFTY points off the bench for the Pistons against the Atlanta Hawks 🤯

Players in NBA history to score 50+ points off the bench in a single game:

◽️ Jamal Crawford - 51
◽️ Nick Anderson - 50
◽️ Malachi Flynn - 50 pic.twitter.com/lxovY7LRCv

really really bad and potentially very significant loss by the pacers in brooklyn tonight

meanwhile the magic are smoking the pelicans in new orleans

the celtics have clinched the best record in the nba 2023/24

bucks without lillard are not good

b2b losses to wash and mem

Wolves dropped the bomb on the Raptors

the bucks prob won’t be caught but the east 2-8 is a complete car crash right now

yeah for a while the east looked tough but the wheels really came off

bucks without lillard are not good

well they were pretty good without lillard before they traded for him, tbf

lol got em

congrats to jalen johnson on his first trip dub. his development the only nice thing from this year

oh never mind i see there was a bigger story from that game. fuck everything

hey they still won even if

i vote Tony Delk. Walt Wesley is clearly made up

yeah the delk game is the prototype

Brewer was a fun goofball

Suns looking good

I’ve only watched a handful of cavs games this year but…is this really all it is? where would this team finish in the west, 12th?

cavs are hard to figure ultimately they i think just dont have the stuff but they are capable of winning some games

kinda love these late-season games that remind you every dude in the league can seriously ball

except Thanasis

Lot of suspicious activity on Draft Kings tonight. Tens of thousands on Malachi Flynn going over 50. He must have been in on it.

this bucks season is really a disaster and their future looks grim. luckily they play in the east. but losing the 2 seed to the magic would be something.

Don’t look now, but for all the talk at different times about the Bucks, Cavs or Knicks winding up with the two seed, Orlando is now two losses back of Milwaukee — and has two games left to play against the Bucks over the final week-and-a-half of the regular season.

it might be Doc's destiny to blow the first ever 3-0 playoff lead here

imo sticking with the classic blown 3-1 is the way to go its his trademark

bummer

welp

he’s been so bad in the playoffs but if you watch the knicks now brunson is playing 1 on 4 basically the whole game trying to score, it’s not sustainable. if OG doesn’t come back they’re DOA in the first round

er 1 on 5

they could maybe win a round but yeah just not enough fire power

re the cavs i'm not sure it's that confusing

1. the one player who really makes them competitive vs great teams is trying to play thru a knee injury that is requiring PRP injections and is noticeably worse than before he was hurt

2. their hot streak, aside from being generally unsustainable and against a soft schedule, was w/ a line up that was mitchell + allen + shooters. we know from his jazz era that the recipe of mitchell, a borderline all star center and decent enough role players is essentially good to win you 50 games. so i think it was sensible to people that that configuration was working. of course the issue is that is not their actual team

bummer about randle, basically a foregone conclusion that he wouldn't come back. kinda wish he had surgery earlier, seems like he won't even be reevaluated until september now :/

really sucks. flawed player but they need what he does pretty badly.
