The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

This Luka haircut looks bad. IDK though I am not white, but it legit looks like he's about to grow a mullet.

He tried to get a shag but went to Supercuts

Not for nothing, Klay D been amazing tonight.

Him and Champagne been hooping!

I didn’t know it could be possible for Wemby to have such a bad shooting game

Is it just me or has Chris Paul not run a pick and roll with Wemby let alone assisted him on anything. Welp.

“Would they call that foul on Joel embiid?”

“Well you’d have to play to be called for a foul.”

 

[lawdog1]

No no. That’s not a mullet starter kit. They definitely exist - but that ain’t it.

White, black, brown, orange… it don’t matter.

That ****’s atrocious.

Concur. Terrible by any reasonable standard.

 

[ALNotSure]

luka 5-18 tho

Random thought but Julius Randle better adjust his game soon or risk being out the league. That ball dominant iso game doesn’t really work anymore in today’s league unless you’re a KD, Bron, PG type that can get buckets when they feel like. He’s gotta be more efficient off the ball or he’s gonna get left behind. ball goes through Ant, he needs to be ready to shoot or slash and finish. That 10 dribble stuff won’t work on that roster. Watch some pippen film.

The Wolves are gonna have to adjust to him a bit. Cuz he definitely needs some space and time to iso to get his shot. I watched him a lot with the Knicks. Dude is a black hole. Lowkey feel like he stifled Barrett’s and Quickley’s development but Thibs loved him for some reason

 

[ALNotSure]

Wemby 3-14

 

[wavycrocket]

HB & Klay un-rinsing themselves playing on these teams is fun to watch

[JMB10215]

idk if Wemby will ever be a true number 1 scoring option. Like just give him the ball and he will get a bucket. He still gonna get to 25ppg in his sleep and he will be the best defensive player. But he’s still a little raw on offense. 3-14 is unacceptable at 7’5

 

[CJMcfly26]

Wemby playing like trash, but I still like my Spurs. We have a solid core, and we don't have Vassell

 

[picasso swerve]

Man Steve woudda put him on a plane back to Boston if he had a possession like that.

Between this and Kuzma airballing like 4 shots, the Wizards are looking already in mid-season form

 

[yobyellav]

Jordan Pippen 2.0??
If Klay was comparable to the **** dray put them through last year, he must’ve been living in a fantasy world on some im actually better than Steph ****.

 

[noblekane]

when did the spurs sign ice spice?

 

[reconic supreme]

luka taking dem kids to school sheesh

 

[picasso swerve]

Dallas going back to the Finals. Only one in their way is OKC. Feel like Minny took a step back, and Denver without a proper backup to Jokic and a 6th man wont have enough.

 

[antidope]

Sorry I played two consensus top 12 all-time players above you, in super high-stakes games, when you spent three months forgetting how to shoot.

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Way too early takes:

Wizards go 0-82
Klay byke
Luka looks...less slow
