2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

getting traded to the lakers was really a bad draw for him, he should be quietly sucking on some bad team no one cares about

i imagine there’s not a lot of love between reggie and russ lol

or at least lebron

reggie is def one of the cockiest players in the NBA & is on a team where he’s the no 1 player on offense he’s gotta be loving life

Showed out in the playoffs last year too

hes going out sad

Russell Westbrook got blocked by Zubac, so he intentionally tripped Zubac on the way back.

lmao robbing nuggets fans of free burritos

taht was pretty messed up lmao

westbrook/kd/reggie was combustible and petty

harden too, team with a lot of weird guy pride

lol i did not know they had so much beef lol but it really does make sense

lakers are the worst team of all time

yeah what teams recently have underperformed expectations worse than the lakers? the 'now this is gonna be fun' lakers? lol

yeah thats the one i was thinking of, maybe that hibbard pacers team that looked like they were gonna challenge the heat then completely fell off?

pretty funny that the lakers are doing about as good as last year

some other candidates

- kawhi clippers first season… at least made the second round tho

- “three alphas” era bulls (lol)

- melo era knicks

also would prob throw the prokhorov era “we mortgaged our entire franchise to surround derron williams with over the hill KG, pierce and jason terry” era nets. and also the harden, KD, kyrie nets too tbh

yeah the D Will nets were brutal but everyone smart new those boys were all cooked.

a lot of those teams mentioned were still pretty solid but underperformed. this lakers team were being called a superteam and being picked for the finals and they might not even make the 'offs, i think they take the cake.

first year lebron lakers when they didn't make the playoffs bummed a lot of people out, but it was a wasteland other than the new guy

i mean idk who follows basketball closely and really thought adding russ and a bunch of old schmucks was gonna do much but brow having a nothing season is really rough

a lot of people picked them to come out of the west but yeah never really made sense

lol its getting sadder by the day

cavs put up 43 on philly in the 1st

feel like this sixers team might be kind of bad defensively idk

they dont have a ton of pop in their roster

contrast is pretty noticeable with the cavs

cavs shooting a crisp 68%

theyre just getting whatever they want so far

cavs roster is a real "team you want to play for" too bad they're in cleveland ohio usa

hey its not that bad the river isnt even on fire anymore haha (classic cleveland joke)

sorry i can't hear you i am listening to rock & roll music (at the rock & roll hall of fame)

think embiid and harden mightve been *50 cent voice* in da club

Can the Bulls actually beat a top tier team?? At home vs Bucks and I have my doubts

Aaand they're down double digits in 1st half

Folks what about the Kobe/Pau/Nash/Dwight Lakers?? Did they even make the playoffs??

Dayyyum Portis just deposterized Lavine with a block

Ooohweee Derrick Jones Jr threw it down on Giannis

swept by the spurs in the first round? I've been mentally conflating that series with when the lakers got swept by the champion mavs team

xxp

pelicans absolutely beating the shit out of the jazz seems notable

"Coming up next, Suns-Knicks, no Chris Paul no Devin Booker"
...and no TV audience

some smart plays by middleton to end this, clever TD throw

Yeah that was awesome

Ya subtly sick pass

totally talking shit to lavine after too

think embiid and harden mightve been *50 cent voice* in da club

Didn’t matter, Maxey torched the juggernaut Cavs for 33 (5/6 from 3). You want vibes, lil hooper has been a smiling scoring machine since Harden got there.
