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

Hawks venturing into to big shake up territory with an embarrassing loss to OKC tonight

andrew nembhard just absolutely cooked the warriors at home

31-8-13-1 and took charges and controlled the game.

he has his hand wrapped over the front of the ball and pulls it up and back into a stepback motion. i think its a good call

cant really see where his hands at for awhile couldve gotten under there

its not so much about the hand placement as the unnatural motion of the ball

xp

crazy on the fly rebuild by the pacers were witnessing here

haliburton and mathurin are huge "slam dunks" nembhard looking pretty nice too

they all have weird names in an oddly similar olde timey way

now all they have to do is start losing some games

yeah they might be too good

maybe if they trade turner and hield

nothing fancy but he got the drive game going early and then started hitting the 3....tough to stop if both of those are working

he kinda looks like small haliburton out there, sliding all around almost no jump on the jumper

yeah hes got a trey young looking shot, one motion

he buckled steph at 3:32 on the stepback

re traveling/carrying, devin is mad about how they are reffing poole/curry so he's been trolling and compiling clips of all the stars doing the same uncalled. this one is really wild, these are worse than poole imo

Morant has to be stopped.

lmao yeah ja is def one of the worst offenders

that one he does first in that video he does like ten times per game and its impossible to guard cos it 100% looks like he's pulling up

yeah they should not let him do that

ah i see

Anthony Edwards on PnR chemistry: "I gotta learn big Rudy still a little bit more. When he rolls, how long it takes him to get out of the screen, stuff like that."

Then I asked if he has ever played with a straight rolling big -- even in AAU. Ant: "Nope. Nah. Not at all. Never."

he might need to learn to filter himself

not only should they call palming on ja, but after the hundredth time he does it this season they should make him wear a dunce cap.

but, oh, the lasting memories!

feel like our guy will land on his feet somehow

xp ja's stuff is egregious AND exciting, what can you do

TNT games on League Pass are so funny "We'll let you watch but with verite audio and camera work heavily influenced by French New Wave cinema"

the carrying infuriates me all out of proportion because you cannot call it in pickup

They just called a travel on Jamal that wasn’t a travel. Then the next play he much more clearly travels and the same ref does nothing

reggie wondering aloud whether jokic should intentially miss a FT with the nuggets down 2 and 12 seconds left

Reggie outthinking himself.

Looks like Jamal and Bones can’t play together, just abysmal defense.

Hardaways been looking pretty good of late

i tried to watch the second half of celtics/raps on League Pass the next day and they only had the "mobile view" of the entire game?? which afaict is just very zoomed in so you can only see the area around the ballhandler? amazing how shit the NBA app is. on PS4 the "no spoilers" setting RESETS every time you start the app so i have to peek through my fingers, scroll down to settings, change it again, then look at the game. However that setting doesn't affect the main splash story on the homepage of the app, which carries some big headline like "JA ERUPTS IN KEY WIN" which, of course, is a spoiler. you might say, well, hey, what do you want, but this is the NBA's direct access to paying fans - you'd think they'd pay attention to the experience a little bit more

yeah, nba apps across platforms have never been good in my experience. the league doesn't really seem to care about making them better

i didnt think league pass was too bad when i had it but its def not youtubetv

btw i have youtubetv again, truly the cadillac of streaming tv, and league pass is only one hundo now

It’s the only way

That’s the combo I use. Wish I had sprig for the league pass with no ads though. That AT&T lady commercial is always so loud.

wait is league pass available via youtube somehow

youtubetv is their tv service you pay money and get basically all the channels youd get if you had cable or satellite or whatever then u can give them another hundred and get league pass on top of that, so for usa viewers is solves the league pass blackout problem since youre getting all the national and local games via the base service

and because its google the streaming actually works well

but in az you cant watch suns games lol

theres always methstreams . com

to add to lagoon you also get unlimited recording and you can turn off features that show scores or show previews. its also got a feature where you can just catch up to a game or watch a recap through watching "key plays".

but in az you cant watch suns games lol

thats bad was the same with nuggets games in co, tho tbf you could could barely watch them anywhere at the time, not sure if thats improved

the roku league pass app has really been shit this year, often can't get streams of games to work

league pass has been bad universally from what i've seen on twitter. i use it just thru my web browser (nearly unusable) and my phone (better) and both are noticeably worse experiences than previous seasons
