2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

Mark Thiessen does not know ball:

"The reason he no longer plays basketball has nothing to do with his performance on the court. In his last game as a Celtic, Freedom had seven points and 12 rebounds in 12 minutes of play — including a beautiful three-point shot. What more likely cost him his career is his criticism of the genocidal Chinese Communist regime, and its brutal suppression of freedom in Tibet, Hong Kong and the Xinjiang region."

just another prop for their weird bullshit, forgotten by this time tomorrow

Just setting him up for his new career in media. I'd hate to see him devolving into the warm up act for Kyle Rittenhouse at gun shows, but he seems headed that direction.

enes can't stop xi jinping from getting to the rim in the pick and roll

joel fouling the celtics out here theyre going to have to put marcus on him

That was not a foul on Tatum - both guys got ball.

I'm at a loss.

celtics are shooting into the ocean lol wow

Refs aren't helping, but you gotta tip your cap if they're going to make shots like that Brown deep 3.

refs def overactive but its going both ways

wouldve liked to see harden tonight but rob is out too so its even

ok, lol, Brown getting Jordan calls now.

honestly its about time the league started showing jaylen some respect

lol embiid cmon

lol

Sixers center Joel Embiid trying to James Harden’s trademark step-back move. Assistant coach Sam Cassell keeps saying Embiid is taking four steps, tho. Harden shows him how to do it with two steps. pic.twitter.com/f5l9Vq8gyn

yes james, teach joel how to take step back threes. very good.

he tried one at the end of the half! and got called for a travel

Apropos of nothing, I think Lou Williams is officially the player I would most like to hang with. I really hope he retires a hawk

he does have a signature wing at a legendary titty bar

who among us does not

We grew up in the same county. We had to use his high schools football field for awhile because we didn’t have one. Dude just oozes Atlanta

celtics up 40 on philly

45

nope, no bad vibes at all from harden's first day with the sixers

uhhh Harden has the best +/- of anyone on the team

should be normal im sure everything will be normal

as i always say, you can't accrue a negative + / - if you don't play

lmao at all this

"that is... not allowed"

bertans had a nice game for the mavs vs the heat tonight, scored 12 points in 13 mins on 4-8 shooting. physically speaking i thought he looked pretty spry. wondering if this might be a batum situation where a bad franchise mothballed an older expensive dude bcuz they just mentally wrote off his giant contract but he actually still had something left in the tank putting the salary aside. they may have backed into a decent change of scenery play there we'll see. he's still a career 40% three shooter if he can stand around and shoot even like 37% from three he'll basically replace porzingis on offense

chris paul just won a jump ball vs nic batum

Giannis with 50 today

chris paul just won a jump ball vs nic batum

center simmons is coming

Nets currently have five centers: Aldridge, Drummond, Claxton, Griffin and Sharpe. And if Nash decides to use Simmons in the post, as rumored, that number goes up by one. Something has to give.

the suns vibes are top notch. chris paul haters eat your hearts out

Whatever small part of me may have been a CP3 hater (vestigially from his Clipper days, really) was roundly extinguished after listening to his episode of JJ Redick's podcast from a week or two ago. Highly recommend, think it has already been touted here.

the knicks are wearing all black uniforms and have a court tonight where all the paint is black. absolute travesty have they no respect for the garden. i feel like i’m watching the kings

in some sense you are watching the kings

the kingerbockers

This cracked me up
