So many of those are wildly awful, mostly with how boring they are, like the designer forgot it was their project and threw it together in 5 minutes.

This is also the 3rd jersey that Brooklyn has put out that gives off "2nd grade art project" vibes. Not sure if that is a beloved art style out there or what.

Suns is pretty good as well as Boston and Minnesota. A lot of the others are just meh.

Those Nets jerseys are really bad.

Man I love the Nuggets taking it to the Lakers. Lakers with all their big talk don't seem to be backing it up so far.

Steven Adams out for the year with knee surgery. That sucks he's had a really bad run of health might be time for him to hang it up. Only 30 but he's been injured every year now for awhile.

Too bad love the guy but that IMO ends any chance Memphis had of a rebound year

I'm shocked Embiid hasn't demanded his way out of that circus troupe. They're a black eye on the NBA over the last 2 decades. First it was the blatant tanking where the league had to step in and remove Hankie, installing Colangelo, and then Bryan got busted with his burner accounts trashing players on Twitter. Bye bye Bryan. Here comes Morey, who did make Houston relevant again, who mishandled the whole Simmons saga and brought in his guy from Houston, Harden, who has been unhappy everywhere since he and Morey split initially in Houston. Now Morey has mishandled the Harden drama when no one is giving up top dollar for him. It's time Harden is traded for Zion just to see the next bizarre chapter in Always Entertaining in Philadelphia.

Listed to WOJ on ESPN, and he says Embiid is playing the good soldier role right now. Trying not to take sides. WOJ thinks he will go through this season to see what happens, then if he does ask out it will be the off season.

Knicks just got screwed on a "flopping" call. Tatum closed out on a Brunsun 3 and got into Brunson's landing area, Brunson came down on Tatum's foot and fell over and the refs called him for flopping... a T and a loose ball foul, giving Tatum 3 FTs.

I don't know if those calls can't be reviewed or if the Knicks were out of challenges.

The Rockets getting destroyed by the lowly Magic.

Rockets are a mess, that was one of the dumbest off seasons I have seen a team have in ages.

 

[Phrazbit]

Jaylen Brown just committed 2 straight REALLY lazy turnovers, then just fouled a dude shooting a 3.

Cannot believe the Celts gave him 60 mil a year.

If you can go off of this game alone, that Celtic's team has no bench. Jrue having a pretty poor game as well.

Dude is still 30-40 lbs overweight. A true generational freak. He could’ve easily been an all pro DE.

I only watched part of the game with Dallas, but it seems like it was a pretty respectable debut for Wembanyama?

He was nervous and/or overmatched, limited by foul trouble to 23 minutes. Offensively he was mainly reduced to long-distance catch-and-shoot opportunities (3-5 from three-point range). Defensively he was a little lost, but he has good instincts and recovers quickly. I'd say the debut was neutral. It will take him a while to adjust to the speed and athleticism of the NBA. He often seemed to be surprised that there were aggressive defenders near him.

Since the Bulls suck and aren't exciting to watch, I did a trade machine try. They really hate LaVine since they think he'll cause a 73 less wins this year by trading him for Harden.

Tuned into the 4th quarter of the 6ers and Bucks, the refs really seem to be trying to protect Giannis.

 

[Chaplin]

Blatantly bad officiating.

And Jae Crowder flops and gets the call. The fix is in.

 

[Chaplin]

I have a feeling that some teams, like the Bucks and the Nuggets, are going to lose very few games that are close. The refs are going to help them out immensely.

So you're saying the referees are awake? I love Giannis, wish he was on my team but it's absurd the protection and support he gets from the stripes.

Looks like they tried to offset it with a pretty garbage call on Lopez.

Maybe. I thought it was an okay call but not one that had to be made as there was plenty of body contact. But at the start of that same possession they missed the arm bar on the perimeter, the same exact move that earned Lillard 3 free throws earlier in the game.

Anfernee Simons is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with surgery to repair UCL in right thumb.
