2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

lol, he has not been good.

nets offense is serious celtics were playing really good D and they still got torched, sixers so far are not playing good D and are getting torched

So in the 1st quarter, the Sixers outscored the Nets by 9 points at the line ... & the Nets outscored the Sixers by 26 points from the field.

the nets should trade ben simmons

simmons should sit out the rest of the season

dragic has harden in a torture chamber i'm crying

Ben should come back in time for him to do this:

Ben Simmons 4th quarter this series:

Game 1: 2-2 FG
Game 2: 0-0 FG
Game 3: 1-1 FG
Game 4: 0-0 FG
Game 5: 0-0 FG
Game 6: 0-0 FG
Game 7: 0-0 FG

That was v. the Hawks.

one of the most legendary performances we'll ever see

we don't always appreciate it when we're witnessing history

I mean, Sixers aren't going to get it done, I know this. I just want to see Simmons sink the Nets in the playoffs.

can harden sign the $200 million max deal at halftime?

hahahah

sixers could totally get it done imho

Unfortunately, the supporting cast isn't good enough, unless Tobias reverts to his near All-Star form. I've never been a big fan, but he's been terrible recently.

i def don't think it's likely but i do think it's possible that they could come out of the east

damn julius erving looking like he stepped out of a cormac mccarthy film, shoutout to him

i know right

the seedings and injury situations are gonna be so important in the east that it almost feels useless to speculate at this point. whichever of the major teams avoids some of the others and can stay healthy thru 3 series is going to have such a huge advantage

god KD came to play tonight

That was a hell of a play.

i think harden and embiid playing up to their abilities is a bigger question than the other guys cause if they can do that its gonna make it pretty easy for everyone else

i maintain morey is gonna overhaul the roster again this offseason and might even find himself a new coach but obv that's just longterm speculation on my part we'll see how it plays out

Sounds good to me. Everyone outside of Embiid, Maxey, and Harden are fair game.

he might be able to get something done but philly is not in the best position to deal, sent out a bunch in the harden trade already and that harris contract is maybe the worst in the league

Niang has been v good for his role.

joel down, joel cryin lol

yeah i think he's gonna try and find several more niangs. shooter types who are kinda just lying around. richardson for curry type moves

jfc embiid shot 19 fts in the 1st half something needs to be done about this he should be capped at 10 a game

jesus being a PG who takes a charge from embiid.... looks like a jackass sketch

goran is too old for that

it's completely nuts, i also wonder if he can play that physically in the playoffs and stay healthy. he's obviously enjoying just physically dominating ppl but i also wonder if he's playing with fire a bit

see if he tires out in the 2nd half here lot of talk about his conditioning being better

Embiid's been way better this year imo.

he looks like hes in better shape but also i think he prob just has naturally poor endurance

It’s kinda weird that curry can’t stick on a team. Everywhere he goes he helps teams win, might be his contract has always been in that perfect range for trades and throw ins on trades. He deserves a bigger contract really, never made more than 8 per

He would have been so good with Embiid and Harden.

it's just tough to be an undersized shooting guard, there aren't a lot of good fits for those guys

He fits on every team tho.

i would be curious to find out if the nets could have had thybuille and asked for curry instead and daryl said yes, or if the daryl wouldn't trade thybuille and offered up curry instead

i do think both times he's been traded it's because he's had value -- the mavs blew that trade but i do think they thought they were trading a good player from a strength on their team (shooting) in order to address a weakness (defense). i thought it was a pretty fair trade at the time, which it definitely wasn't. and in the eixers-nets trade i think he was definitely in there because he has value.

i think he's just in that perfect zone where he's definitely good but you'd never say he was untouchable, and his contract wouldn't be an obstacle for any team in the league

He fits on every team tho.

well like, yes and no. just about every team could find a roster spot for him, but the fits where he's going to start and close and make that type of money are what i'm talking about.

*whispering* embiid looks tired or like he's given up

damn seth is on one tonight lol

seth looks great tonight on a team where no ball handling is required of him

irving-curry is not an ideal backcourt defensively, pretty nice on offense tho

yeah. sixers don't have anyone who can punish them w/ harden in sleep mode

sixers going out like total punks in the second half it must be said

yeah this game has frankly been a huge disappointment

it has. but it also hasn't
