2022/23 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD "TANKING FOR WEMBANYAMA"

This is so fun

do you think embiid or harden know maxey is on the team

right?

ah yes the nba is back and you know what that means, that's right it's time to find out jon hamm does insurance commercials now

im thinking the sixers defense might not be totally "top notch"

they’re def testing the limit at which you can have two F defenders at guard and still be great. but most teams don’t have tatum and brown putting up 60+ points

classic embiid front running performance tonight huffing and puffing to the crowd in the first half and then packing his shit and going home once the sixers got down 10

tough spot to draw embiid lol

I just scanned game logs really quickly so I apologize if I'm wrong, but I believe this is Noah Vonleh's first game with at least 20 minutes played since Dec. 28, 2019.

it's truly one of my favorite recurring nba bits

he gets tired

vewy sweepy

ty ty

jays go for 70 very nice

they were on a complete tear

interesting thybulle didnt see the court under those circumstances

i even like the minutes distribution for a marquee game, good stuff from mazzulla

thybulle stinks

he is bad but man do they have anyone who can guard the perimeter

muting this ring ceremony whos got time for it zaza pachulia things of that nature

i will say… mazzulla threw an all bench line up out there in the third quarter and only got spared almost squandering the lead by grant williams throwing in a blindfolded three pointer. at least one jay should be on the floor every minute against real teams

i enjoyed seeing mareese speights and shaun livingston xp

brogdon should be able to handle being the guy with bench units but idk its his first game with the team

he is bad but man do they have anyone who can guard the perimeter

i do like these warm up shirts that look exactly like pajamas but why no matching pants

lol steph just standing there screaming cute

xp they're going to have to have all-bench units at some point, best to start figuring it out now

both Steph and LeBron both rocking the long beard look.

That would be both of them lol

i listened to a billion podcasts this summer talking about how much the sixers upgraded their roster and i still feel like they have a critical lack of shooting on the wing

doug mcdermott and/or josh richardson are very available

i relish sixers pain but putting josh richardson back on that team feels like a level of cruelty even i wouldn’t stoop to

hes actually good as a role player specifically the role they need!!!

he was good for the celtics last year but he was bad when he was on philly

idk his game is pretty atrophied at this point, i'm not a fan

yeah he can’t do all that much anymore but now i’m reminiscing on the heat trading him for jimmy butler and i feel nice and warm

lol dece trade

it’s so good that the lakers get to get stomped on national TV first night of the season

James Harden said transition defense was the difference in tonight’s game. Said he felt good about Philly’s half court defense, but that giving up the kind of transition points the Sixers did isn’t nearly good enough.

harden covered head to toe in blood standing over a dead body asking anyone if they know who did it

tbf they took the take foul away from him so not sure what hes supposed to do

lol

can't believe how much I missed hoops

it’s great to be back with you guys posting about hoops

<3

otm
