2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

Joel Embiid has never lost to the Bulls. He has 30 points and 15 rebounds and is about to move to 9-0 in games he has played vs. the Bulls.

damn

kinda looked like Kawhi's vs. Philly, without all the rattling around

gotta say i don’t really understand the mavs this year

Evergreen since their chip

Haven’t watched the mavs this season much but luka looks out of shape and is having another slow start to a season

Meanwhile the lakers are down 38-14 after one q to the nit so great blazers

luka’s not playing great, porzingis just played his first game, deferring judgment for now

last few years they were pretty easy to understand, elite offensive team led by prodigal scorer/passer with shooter type role players around him and shaky on defense. this year their statistical profile is kind of all over the place, their games have been weird, their record appears good but is flimsy, all of their guys have underperformed except brunson. idk.

i see KP played fairly well tonight

Anthony Davis will not return with a stomach illness

— Josh Lloyd (@redrock_bball) November 7, 2021

well then what's he gonna return with

lakers team is just miserable

lmaooo davis is so soft

he looked around at that line up and was like “yeah i got a stomach ache” lmao

Dame just needed a matchup w Russ to get his blood pumping again a bit

jeez rough loss for the hawks in phoenix

I understand the referees’ points of emphasis this year, but I can’t believe there was no foul called on Chris Paul here. pic.twitter.com/6hQfb8Vvtc

ref season

NBA spokesman Tim Frank: “Trae Young was issued a technical foul for taunting the referees with a two-handed gesture indicating a need for glasses. … Kevin Scott was asked by the Hawks' bench why he issued the technical foul. In response, Scott quickly imitated Young’s gesture.” https://t.co/fsqZQTUWTc

Cole Anthony comes with the FACTS after his big game Sunday night as the @OrlandoMagic took down the Jazz for their first home win of the season. #MagicTogether pic.twitter.com/hwle6IEVuw

is this wizards team for real? 7-3 and beat the bucks last night. the east overall looks to be much more competitive, so far the only team outright tanking is Detroit.

shoutouttomoBAMba

just learned that greg anthony is his dad!

It seems like Mo Bamba really might be able to shoot? Which makes him a very good player

we might just be getting to see more bamba after all

were they just hiding him the last three years or what? seems to have always been a per 36 monster but only getting 15 mpg the last three seasons seems weird. now he's doubling that at 30+ mpg

didn't he have one of the worst covid cases/recovery periods?

Yeah he had very severe covid

that explains last season

tbh whenever i saw him he looked pretty disengaged, not really affecting the game in any way, just sort of orbiting around the action. i saw someone tweet before the season something like “watch out for the mo bamba contract year” i think his effort/engagement level has always been the knock on him going back to college

this is also his first full season not playing behind vucevic iirc

hes had a lot of injuries too so its hard to say what he could do with sustained health

one thing is he has an all-NBA name

embiid in the protocols as they say

torn meniscus for collin sexton

bummer, cavs seemed to be warming up
