2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

leaving shooters open is generally not a thing good teams are in to idk

― lag∞n, Thursday, February 10, 2022 2:28 PM (one second ago)

the bucks and the heat are 30th and 28th respectively in the league in opponent 3 point attempts allowed per 100 possessions, that's the style of defense both they play and it's generally worked out pretty well for them. no team that plays the sixers in the playoffs is going to stick to their shooters and just let harden and embiid beat them (if such a thing is even possible). they're going to make the other guys beat them w/ open threes, it seems pretty obvious to me. now if you think they have the talent to do so that's cool -- i disagree.

wtf are the Wiz doing

um wow. sure hope the mavs are managing to get kuzma and/or KCP out of that deal

the wiz also traded trez to the hornets, beal is out for the season & porzingis is also hurt and of course never healthy. about to be one of the great half-season tanks in nba history

just because the heat and bucks give up more open threes than most teams doesnt mean theyre like ah fuck those guys who shoot 35-40% who cares, it just means their defense is tilted a little more towards the paint, and it is worth noting that both teams have gotten burned a lot by that approach, bucks did eek out a title with giannis going absolutely nuclear but coach bud was all but out the door before that

they also both have good collapse and recover rosters

Does this mean Brunson is also on his way out?

There is some desperation need-to-make-Luka-happy energy here

honestly in a philly miami series embiids ft attempts are prob going to go a lot further towards determining the outcome of the series than phillys shooting

Source: Mavs are trading Kristaps Porzingis to the Wizards for Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans.

I know Porzingis mad as hell when he seen the news

Prolly scowling at the mirror while he limping and putting on hair gel

did not think the mavs would be able to trade porzingis and end up w/ me thinking it's a terrible trade but wow that looks like a terrible trade

poor zinger he could been great if he just stopped growing a lil sooner

Mark Cuban doing Mark Cuban things

cuban finally got a crypto guy on the roster

lmao two on the left did the alonzo mourning gif

Stephen A. Smith details why he thinks the Sixers may have lost the James Harden-Ben Simmons trade with the Nets.

Agree or disagree? 🤔

do you guys think bertans is gonna pick up his $16 million player option in 24-25

god i love stephen a

has Richard Jefferson always resembled handsome Squidward

agree that this trade has a lot of downside risk for philly but it also put them in contention so its good, might not work out, but its good

and the sixers def got a haul, whether all their players will ever see the court together is a question tho

Boston is sending guard Dennis Schroder to the Rockets in the deal, source tells ESPN. https://t.co/4RFdjoULq3

do not really understand this one unless theyre about to move horf

maybe they think pritchard and or nesimth are ready for minutes idk, i mean they do need a third big but not as much as they need what schroder does, on the other hand theis is a beloved celtic

i guess if you get theis then brown can spend more time at guard and its ok idk, go with big lineups more, which tbf their starting lineup has been killing people so maybe theyre thinking you can play horf as a fulltime 4 now

pure lol that this deal is what morey held out for so long to get

the nets rather

Brad just missing his boy Theis and now in the seat to do something about it.

Kind of feels like they made a commitment not to waste Schroder as a trade chip and nothing materialized

wtf at this dallas trade lol

i missed theis too tbf

pure lol that this deal is what morey held out for so long to get

i mean he got his guy when everyone was saying he should just settle for jerami grant, gave up a lot but at the end of the day you have to tip your cap

I gotta pick a different team

i missed theis too tbf

lol its true

no deals for knicks or lakers, prob because both teams were perfect already

haha

The Rockets are waiving Enes Freedom, source tells ESPN.

That must be the first trade in NBA history involving a German player headed to each team. Brad Stevens made history today (I think).

— Jay King (@ByJayKing) February 10, 2022

Not even the first Daniel Theis trade with two Germans -- the last one had Mo Wagner in it!

guess we need to talk about enes after-all but gotta think his nba career is toast and he'll now become a full time political pundit.

cant imagine there are too many teams out there interested in a player who sucks and is always talking shit about lebron and china

really relieved the wolves didn't try to make some win-now move and shake things up for a team that pretty much has a first-round exit as the ceiling, this group has really good vibes and is getting better together. i'd rather just see how it goes and assess in the offseason.

goodnight sweet prince

Enes Freedom’s last shot for the Celtics was a made 3-pointer.

ok I admit this is pretty funny

knicks already made their big move, trading for cam reddish, who has played 50 minutes total in the 13 games since his acquisition

is Dragic cooked? hawks could really use a back up PG

he's seemed extremely cooked

i think some team will prob roll the dice on him as a buyout guy but he strikes me as the quintessential buyout guy where the name intrigues you and then it gets to the playoffs and you realize he's a 35 year old who couldn't get on the court for a reason

he'll now become a full time political pundit

Enes could probably play in a euro-league if he still feels like hooping. Feels more likely he'll wind up on OANN, then disappear.

yeah goran is done

lol

Richard Jefferson and Kendrick Perkins burst out laughing when told the Lakers made no trade deadline moves and were focusing on the buyout market 🤣pic.twitter.com/x2FuxAviJn

New York known for being a safe space where you can just play and not have to bother with media or fans.

the nets are a pretty safe space lol. the harden shit took up approximately zero media oxygen in the city
