2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

And 2/13 from three

marvin bagley played 35 mins tonight. took 3 OTs to get there but hey. he took 5 shots the entire game not sure how that’s possible. new coach was in the second OT looking around and throwing up his hands like, well shit.

Seemed like he was just focused on setting good screens and hustle plays. Got some real huge offensive rebounds and hit a big floater

Just realized the kings didn’t have two of their best players Barnes and Holmes lol

didn’t see the game, just looking at the box score, but it’s times like this that i really wonder about anthony davis

lets get banchero babyyyyyyy

...holmgren

The Bucks gave up Sam Merrill and two seconds for Grayson Allen, whom they extended for two years, $20M.

41.5% on 3s, and just a 4% TO percentage, good for 98th percentile among guards (https://t.co/6z3iysWT1U).

Home run for Jon Horst and Co. Rock solid role player. https://t.co/3VGRIPWq7S

Here's the most alarming part about the Lakers' 10-11 start: they've had the softest schedule defensively and yet they rank 20th on that end of the floor. After tomorrow, they'll have played HOU 2x, OKC 2x and DET 2x. Only team in NBA who will have played the worst 3 offenses 2x.

I have been hopeful about the Wolves being in the mix for the play-in game, but to be .500 at 20 games in and in the 7th seed is amazing. I'm sure that things will shake out eventually, but they are just a better team than they have been since the one year with Butler.

also, and I've been a huge hater, but Dlo is playing really really well

q: is ant edwards an all-star? bc maybe he is

give it another two months to see if the twolves are in the playoff hunt and if so, yes

"Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter is changing his name to Enes Kanter Freedom, a source confirmed to ESPN."

Enes is following the great tradition of Lloyd Be Free and Metta World Peace.

i mean to get into the play in the wolves only need to be better than the kings, spurs, and pelicans. if they can’t do that they should just blow up the franchise

i'm sure the wolves can get into the play in, just not sure if they can clip the blazers to get into guaranteed territory. it seems possible!

Free agent center DeMarcus Cousins plans to sign a one-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, source tells ESPN.

Well this is very much in character

Is Brook Lopez donezo?

It’s not really clear when he’s coming back. Bucks kinda need a center so it makes sense

plan for the Timberwolves be a good team:
1) don't explode
2) make the play-in tournament
3) tbd

Before trying oreos with milk for the first time, Giannis had shot above 50% in just 1 of his previous 9 games.

Since trying it, he has shot above 65% in 3 straight games. pic.twitter.com/B0WHmIp1cd

7 laker turnovers in the first 13 minutes

is it possible the Lakers miss the playoffs altogether

yes

unless the play-in games count as playoffs in which case no

man the pistons are fucking dire

and even so it is more or less taking lebron to save the game in the fourth. looked like he may have fucked up his abs again in the process. Intentionally threw a hard pass into the face of a Piston defender!

is it possible the Lakers miss the playoffs altogether

The Lakers seem absolutely bad enough to miss the playoffs. They’re just pretty bad every game and why would that change?

it's not about how bad they are as much as it is about how bad the worst of the west is.

i've had a busy week but wanted to swing by and congratulate the lakers for beating the pistons by 4 at home

lakers could play a lot better than they have so far and they are currently in 6th in the west, like ad will probably not be the worst shooter in the league for the whole season, but on the other had they are a prime candidate for injuries because theyre such an old team, can they miss the playoffs? what are we even talking about when we say the playoffs these days? the play in games are not part of the playoffs i guess so then you might have these one or two games that decide if you "make the playoffs", kind of weird, anyway i think theres a good chance that they end up in the play in games, unlikely they finish totally out of all playoff and playin activities without a lot of injuries which of course are possible

they are 8th in the west rn

not according to the worldwide leader, but its true that 6 through 9 are effectively tied

theyre 9th in point differential

ah ok NBA.com says 8, I don't know what the formula is on tiebreakers, head to head matchups?

NBA has Portland 6, Wolves 7, Lakers 8

should stop doing the play ins it’s dumb and everyone knows it and the bubble is over (kind of made sense in the bubble year?)

yeah its bad theyre not going to stop now that theyve made new weird quasi playoff games

ah ok NBA.com says 8, I don't know what the formula is on tiebreakers, head to head matchups?

yeah idk maybe espn has some pretend in season tiebreaker where the team with more wins gets to be first cause the lakers are 11-11 and the other teams are 10-10
