2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

heat margins of victory this year

+42 over bucks
+17 over magic
+13 over nets
+15 over hornets
+16 over memphis
+15 over mavs

one loss is OT to pacers w/o lowry

they should chill out

i do wonder if they're playing too hard but heat culture baby

yah you dont want to peak so early. their floor should still win a ton of games

feel like its good to get clicking early but they should def ease off at some point

altho... lowry has been ass so far so i guess theres still room for improvement

i think it's important to factor in that jimmy is a psycho for Ws

he loves em cant get enough

one of the only players in the NBA that likes winning

kyle hit a bunch of pull ups/step backs tonight, if he shoots like that they’re gonna be tough to beat. at other times you can feel the shooting squeeze

altho... lowry has been ass so far so i guess theres still room for improvement

his stats haven't been there but apparently he's had a huge impact on their pace when he's on the floor, so probably doing a lot of semi-tangible lowry stuff that makes him so great

yeah for sure shoulda been more specific that his shooting has been ass.

he also has a huge ass

hes caked up no doubt

lol

chris paul and javale mcgee taking over a 4th quarter in 2021, never in my wildest fantasies

yooo chris

god how did the lakers hold on there

beating the rockets by 2 points with westbrook playing 37 mins, lebron playing 36 and davis playing 32…

also didn’t realize the NBA was still doing baseball style series this year, i’m not a fan

its lame but makes sense for minimizing travel

wait the wizards are 5-2?? what on earth

nice espn double tonight dubs/hornets hawks/nets

Old friend from a past job contacted me out of the blue and is taking me to the Wolves/Grizz on Nov 20, excited haven't been to a game in forever

nice get to see ja face to face

nice im gonna try to get to some suns games this year but of course the prices have hiked

Sixers up by 16 over the Bulls in the 2nd without 3/5ths of their starting lineup. Outshooting them from 3 by 54% to 20% helps I guess. I don't even know what to think about this year anymore.

Very interesting, first time I've seen Harden and Trey since the rule changes

aww have fun, i would love so much to go to a game. been way too long.

Michael Porter Jr has been ice cold from 3 this year but the defense is so much better and that’s really the main concern with him

Durant is just amazing

Paul George just unreal this season

gonna watch Hornets/Warriors tonight, should be a fun game

actually I had a dream last week that there was a 4th Ball brother named Larry and he was incredibly scrawny and worked at Panera Bread

thats actually true

it's hard to say what the difference is between dreams and reality tbh

thats true also

Jeff Green washed it seems. Annoying that it’s the nuggets that it happens on

i thought jeff green came pre-washed

He was great last year (empty arenas maybe?)

GSW would be so far behind if they didn't have the greatest sharpshooter in the league (Jordan Poole)

starting to get a little concerned about the nuggets bench but I’m trying to think positive and say they’ll figure it out, MPJ will start hitting shots, jamal comes back, and all is good. really like watching bones hyland play

Miles bridges has made ~the leap~

GP2 playing inspired ball this game

Damn he’s doing it all

must be so cool for him considering how much of a legend his dad is in the bay

sarver story dropped
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32440987/phoenix-suns-robert-sarver-allegations-racism-misogyny

what a scumbag eject him from the league

it seems like it at least approaches being comparable to the Sterling stuff, but it took like 30 years of all this simmering to get him out. otoh

whoops, was gonna say otoh these things accelerate quickly, so if the right people line up behind getting him out, can def see it happening. would the team refuse to play for him like the clippers did? did monty make a statement earlier when the teaser leaked?
