2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

yeah feel like it’s gotta be football. TNT did 2 games on tuesday night

i dont think its been an issue in the past. or they just havent cared. why not both nights ffs

Packers-Cardinals is the rare good Thursday night NFL game, the teams are a combined 11-1

What’s a Packers?

kemba is starting to crank it up

love kemba hes a great fit with the knicks who badly needed another guy who can put the ball through the ring

yeah their offense would be missing a major component without him. it’s the bulls defense so whatever but their starting line up of kemba, barrett, fournier, randle & robinson has pretty good spacing. kemba has been getting to the rim and either finishing or hitting robinson for alley oops/fouls pretty consistently

kemba is still really good when hes healthy, unfortunately celtics only got half a season of that

and an occasional five game stretch i guess

thibs is one of the most naturally bald men of alltime he has like 25 hairs on his head

i should not have to listen to joakim noah while im innocently watching a basketball game he is still so awful

hes wearing like a hand knit bucket hat

it's the number one thing that makes him look like an actor playing a mobster in a silent film

lol

demar derozan is taking threes. he’s not making them. but he is taking them.

the hawks lost to the wizards huh

they made him take them his last year in toronto but then when pop let him just shoot 2s he did that xp

celtics lost to the wizards too wizards are ok they have some guys

the wizards getting a bunch of useful players for russell westbrook might’ve been the no 1 move of the entire offseason

yeah low key heist

KCP and kuzma both put up 21-8 tonight and harrell had 25-13

i do not make bets but wizards over seemed like an easy one, they created a pretty deep roster that mostly makes sense

lol the eastern conference standings are wild rn

chi cho

end of this game is nuts

loool and ends with an airball

classic demar

Curry is a psychopath

lol wtf even is that

giving the same insane grin as brad pitt in 12 monkeys

lol that rules

watched the fourth quarter of bulls knicks and the bulls had lonzo checking randle for the final 5 mins or so and man was he giving randle problems

lonzo is just a cool ass player

he's come a long way!

they don’t seem to wanna play patrick williams at the ends of games bcuz he can’t score so it’s been caruso with the 4 starters which basically leaves lonzo as the de facto stopper on any player who isn’t a center. he was up in randle’s shit tonight

Trae Young does not like the new officiating:

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32499723/atlanta-star-trae-young-speaks-new-rules-frustrated-missed-calls

Especially a smaller guy like me who's going up against bigger and stronger defenders, they're using their body and they're using their legs and their hands to stop me."

Lol, the unmitigated gall of these defenders.

lmao trae welcome to Real Basketball my guy

While looking for a twitter link for this story, twitter presented me with a video of a HS kid shooting lights out during practice and at the end of the 60 sec video I realized the HS player was actually Trae.

Misread the headline that it was a guy that looked like Trae:

Trae Young not missing a shot for 1 Minute.

i am kinda worried about the little guys hope the refs can remove the begging fouls while still protecting them from hand checking and so forth the emergence of dominant small players is one of the great things of the no contact era

steph is the canary if he starts getting beat up its bad news

I am not worried about it, but agree this is the optimal outcome:

hope the refs can remove the begging fouls while still protecting them from hand checking

as someone who watched AI get bodied worse than most QBs these days.

not worried because the arc of NBA history bends toward offense

Trae will be fine. It's not like he's off to a bad start or anything

are trae and harden the only two that have spoken out against the new rules? cos lol

steph doesnt rely on the bating and he's used to getting held all the time as he runs around. his game wont change and he's been getting the normal calls he gets imo.

if they started letting on ball hand checks go that would be bad for him is alls im sayin

shit was out of control last year this was needed
