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

thats weird he did leave their last game seemingly injured but then he came back

Joel Embiid sitting out today's game against the Brooklyn Nets is a precautionary measure, sources tell ESPN. The expectation is Embiid will be ready for Philadelphia's next game – either Tuesday or Wednesday in the 7-8 game, or next weekend in the first round of the playoffs.

idk

maxey and friends can probably beat the nets

embiid and friends can def beat them

orlando broadcast telling us that brook lopez lives in orlando in the offseason maybe he wanted to be close to disney

some of these games are pretty tight

atlanta over indiana feels like the one that could potentially throw everything out of wack

not sure i'm ready to comprehend what happens if the cavs lose to charlotte

bucks playing all their guys minus giannis and down 5 at half to orlando

dame is 1-11 from the field

pacers-hawks 86-72 at the half

nate duncan implying on twitter that both the hornets and cavs are trying to lose

Love double tank games.

i mean i’m sure the hornets don’t want to win

bucks and magic is the best game right now, both teams are playing hard

pacers put up 157

Looks like everything in the East is locked in except the NYK get the 2 if they win and the 3 if they lose. They might want the latter.

apparently the cavs tanked today in order to get the 4-5 with orlando, which is cool. except you now have to face boston in round 2 and why would you wanna do that

who were they trying to avoid the sixers

cowards, mayne

demar barely missing the go ahead shot 4 secs to go in ot

philly and miami in the playin "the celtics fright"

knicks are not cowards, respect to them

hart tried to give the bulls the game but precious played pretty good one-on-one d vs demar during that final shot

dallas resting their guys vs okc so looks like okc will be #1 in the west, only scenario where they win and dont get it is if minny wins and den loses but den is playing mem and does not want to loose

minny down 14 to the suns in the 1st too, yikes

oh hey kat is playing guess he played the last game too

suns-wolves 44-22 at the end of 1 oh no

suns win and pelicans lose suns avoid the playin and pels are in

bucks better hope giannis is back healthy for round 1 because they tried to win in orlando today, got smoked, and have drawn the pacers who have killed them even w/ a healthy giannis

yeah without the big man you gotta think theyre toast

ingram is back too just went on personal 7 point run

ya if:
- nuggets win
- okc wins
- wolves lose to suns
- lakers beat pels

then it’s
1) okc
2) den
3) min

and suns get #6 … ideal scenario for denver imo

so the lakers, who are playing the pelicans, will let us know who they’d rather face in the play in

given what the lakers did to the pelicans in the IST game in vegas i assume they’ll try and win this game and then see them again in the 7-8

they have to try to win so they dont drop into the 9-10 game

ahh

also looks like if it suns win and pelicans lose then wolves/suns would be the 3-6 in round 1

please god

btw im watching the four game split screen true sicko time lol

I need the NYT election needle for this

suns-wolves would be fascinating on the one hand the wolves have some good individual wing defenders on the other this is the exact type of team that has been rudy kryptonite in the playoffs

not looking good right now

though it's not on Rudy

lakers big lead on the pelicans now too only game that close is nugs griz lol

15 turnovers in 18 minutes. That's really hard to do, but the Wolves are making it look easy.

they cut the lead a bit if they can hold onto the ball maybe theyve got a shot

Some nasty blowouts going on

Pels decided to sell their soul for the warriors game I guess

gobert scoring 15 in the 3rd to keep minny in the game
