2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

yikes, that is a fast fall from grace

it is kind of weird that the suns-warriors games are consecutive for GS but phoenix has the pistons at home as a palate cleanser in between. is that weird? i don't even know anymore with these home-and-homes

kemba's stats are awful, his net rating is worse, there really just isn't anything left.

nick nurse, hague

Kemba STARTED the All Star Game only two seasons ago!

And then, coming off a recent injury, Nurse played him the second most minutes in the game on the back of playing 45 in the last regular season game before it... and he got re-injured and was never the same. https://t.co/9OQieV6bhN

re: Matt's Grayson Allen tweet, need to point out that Pat C is currently shooting better on lower pay and with better vibes (but at only 6.3 attempts per game):

_Starting in every game to this point, Allen is averaging 14.2 points while shooting 44.6 percent on his field-goal attempts and 42.2 percent on his 3-point attempts. Meanwhile, Connaughton’s time has been split between the starting five and the bench due to early injuries to the roster, but he is thriving wherever by averaging 12.1 points on 49.4 percent field goal shooting and 42.5 percent from behind the arc._ (https://behindthebuckpass.com/2021/11/28/grayson-allen-pat-connaughton-thriving-milwaukee-bucks🕸/🕸)

Very real chance that the only people who have to be concerned about the size of MPJ’s contract are the insurance companies the Kroenkes use

well, insurance companies don’t wipe bad contracts off the salary cap

Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris is expected to miss four to eight weeks with ankle surgery, agent Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports tells ESPN. Surgery is addressing "a little bone particle" in ankle, Steve Nash said.

has anyone heard anything from Kyrie in the past month?

just curious how the research is going

Kyrie's just laying low, feeling pleasantly righteous about being an anti-vax poster child, and enjoying his money.

hes been tweeting stuff like this

he still hasnt said what his reasoning is, right?

he said that hes doing to stand up for the little guy whos getting pushed around by mandates but hes obvs just an antivaxer

i can't believe he's actually going to sit out a whole season

or...if this is just his way of getting out of playing the regular season then he has a "change of heart" before the playoffs that would be hilarious

its been pretty clear for a while imo that kyrie does not want to play in the nba

i think hes just expecting the bklyn mandate to be lifted before the playoffs start?

meanwhile wiggins should be the poster boy for the vaccine.. hes been awesome since he got it.

tbh it does seem like his balls got bigger

bullying works

well, insurance companies don’t wipe bad contracts off the salary cap

in what world is michael porter jr retiring and walking away from $200 million

Jord if he has to retire due to injury he gets the money and isn’t on the cap

gotta think if he gets to that point it wont be before doing a couple years of rehab tho

also could easily not need to retire but also not be good at basketball anymore

yes there is no way in hell he retires due to injury before like the 2 full seasons after this one.

3 back surgeries in 5 years could go a lot of ways but definitely one of the ways is you decide you don’t want to have massive back pain anymore and you’ll get paid 200 million dollars to not have it

well, the league has to agree that the injury is career ending in order for the contract to get wiped off the books. it's not like a player can just up and walk away w/ his entire contract and the team can just choose to write it off and everyone goes on about their day. the heat had to wait 2 years in between chris bosh's last game and when they were able to waive him and clear his contract. we're a long way from that. he's not even ruling himself out for this season

3 back surgeries in 5 years is rough man, idk of another guy who has done that and tried to play basketball

any chance jokic plays tonight?

he's playin'

ayyyyyyy

Frank Vogel says that Avery Bradley’s effort and intensity are contagious, intangible factors that add value to the starting lineup. While acknowledging that there are negative statistics associated with Bradley as a starter, Vogel says he takes those “with a grain of salt.”

Cleveland's destroying Mavericks on the road. They'll have a winning record after this game.

you already know

I actually learned today that those Obvious Plant action figures are reverse shoplifted into stores. so Nyquill Jornan exists somewhere

reverse shoplifted

i think we can call this "donating"

The Minnesota Timberwolves are over .500 please take a moment

the floor recognizes the T(imber)wolve from Minnesota, ums

when I see "Twolves" I always think of it as having to do with the number 2

valencunis was 7/7 from three at half time

jimmy butler (literally butthurt) missed the revenge game against the nuggets tonight, funny to see

lebron's in the protocol, oops

good games tonight!

excited for da big game
