Official 2019-20 NBA Season Thread

[D-Wade]

Mike Conley is done.

[Bynumite]

Clippers taking out their frustrations on the baby Lakers because they can't do it against the Big Dog :lol

[Bynumite]

You barely beat them sans Lou/Harrell, Kawhi playing mad lackadaisical, and while getting every call.

In a 7 game series, two of those factors will be gone. You’ll still get every call, but Lou and Harrell will be back, and Kawhi’s going to actually try.

Clippers in 6, maybe 5. Depends on how desperate Silver is to extend the series.

Awful take. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Lebron is not gonna have another 6-19 game against the clippers, plus the Lakers as a whole shot horribly and despite those things, they still won.

Sorry my dude, but in a playoff setting when the game slows down and they stop calling every tiki tak bullshit, it's gonna come down to the Lakers superior length and defense. Plus, Clippers have absolutely no answer for AD.

Also, Lou Williams is a match up nightmare for the clippers, undersized and below average defender. Lebron completely picked the clippers apart in their last game before the lockdown, when Lou Williams was on the floor.

[RD2191]

Clips in 5 over the Lakers

[Kawhitstorm]

The hand is...but the wrist is not.

Yeah, you will be surprised to know that the wrist & the hand are two separate things. Besides, he’s grabbing the arm that isn’t in contact with the ball so he’s making no play on the ball. So, guilt on all counts.:reading

[Kawhitstorm]

Clips in 5 over the Lakers

yeah, give TOSB one game due to Kawhi/PG/Lou leaving the bubble for some lemon pepper wings.

Raptors are ball hogs.
Pass it for a change.

I wish Kwa would have stayed on the Raptors. :lobt2:

[Bynumite]

Ship Danny Green back to the spurs.

[phxspurfan]

Marc Gasol aging way better than his brother in the NBA

[phxspurfan]

Ship Danny Green back to the spurs.

Naw you guys can have him for whatever you overpaid :lol

[phxspurfan]

So much overacting by Kuz with that mic

[Bynumite]

I wish Kwa would have stayed on the Raptors. :lobt2:

Uncle is an idiot. Should have stayed an extra year and at least defended his title, basically playing with house money. Plus, having an entire country to peddle nephew's shitty sneakers.

[MultiTroll]

Laker Ref!
Obvious charge by Lebron

[MultiTroll]

Lowry :bobo

picking up where he left off last years Finals.

[daslicer]

Hated the Raptors last year because of #2 but I'm amazed at how great of defensive team they are. They are great at switching and they have great tenacity. This team would be the favorites if #2 didn't leave.

[Kawhitstorm]

https://twitter.com/RichStapless/status/1289597032382918657?s=19

Again, what part of “hand is part of the ball” do you not understand. In that instance, the hand is the ball just as much as the leather so “all ball” is valid.

[Kawhitstorm]

Hated the Raptors last year because of #2 but I'm amazed at how great of defensive team they are. They are great at switching and they have great tenacity. This team would be the favorites if #2 didn't leave.

Raptors were an elite regular season team even with DeFrozen b/c they max out their potential.

[Kawhitstorm]

Day-to-Day Davis is the Porker of PFs, blows his load one game then disappears the following game. Postseason will suit him well.

[Chillen]

If Raptors can go on and repeat it will have shades of 2004 Pistons written all over it. That team was scrappy and played every possession hard and played smart. This Raptors team plays hard, smart and scrappy. I think they have a legit shot at it even without #2.


I wish Kwa would have stayed on the Raptors. :lobt2:

From a basketball standpoint he should have but his move to LA was obviously about being home.

This Raptors team is going to be a tough out in these playoffs and they are flying under the radar to with something to prove.

They would have been swept by the Bucks without #2 so good luck getting past that team when Giannis owns Siakam.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

I'm sick of Dillon Brooks tbh.

[DAF86]

Giannis screwing up in many different ways to end the game.

[Ef-man]

Anyone know if NBA players are hearing the fan background broadcast on television during these season’s games? Must feel weird for them if it is only their sounds in an almost empty court.

[Texas_Ranger]

Gotta love the Mavs. They play like the best team in the NBA for 3 quarters, just to turn into Charlotte Bobcats in the last quarter. Great comedy.

[MultiTroll]

Nice cheat hold by Lowry on Jimmys arm. Just enough to cause it to go out of bounds off Miami.
Toronto ball.
Nice vet play.
102-101 17 seconds left.

After the turnover ex Fat Gasol makes 1 of 2.
103-101 Miami ball for the tie or win.

[MultiTroll]

Butler bad pass turnover to choke away any chance at a win or tie.

[phxspurfan]

They still play with swag for sure. And Marc Gasol was a steal for them. Also Siakam and Anunoby are perfect for Today's NBA

[DAF86]

I read "Peace" on a jersey and thought, for a split second, "damn, Artest still playing?" :lol

[Monostradamus]

I really don't get why Carlisle won't play Boban more. The argument is he's too slow on defense, but literally everybody on Dallas is trash at defense except Porzingis. If you're gonna give up 140 a night anyways, just play the guy who has the best chemistry with Luka.

[Bynumite]

One of the jerseys says "Love Us" :lol

To think. Clippers could have had Michael Porter, Jr. and still pulled Kawhi and PG last summer... OR they could have used Porter as the key young player in the PG trade and still have SGA along with Kawhi and PG.

[phxspurfan]

Waiters is not a good basketball player

Lakers should’ve signed the Jimmer, or traded for Buddy Hield

[phxspurfan]

To think. Clippers could have had Michael Porter, Jr. and still pulled Kawhi and PG last summer... OR they could have used Porter as the key young player in the PG trade and still have SGA along with Kawhi and PG.

Porter looks good now, but let’s see how his back holds up over the next year or so. They’re gonna have to manage that for his whole career

[JamStone]

Porter looks good now, but let’s see how his back holds up over the next year or so. They’re gonna have to manage that for his whole career

That’s fair. And there were like 11 other teams that passed on him too.

But the Clippers had two lottery picks, #10 and #11, one from the Griffin trade. They took SGA. They had an extra lottery pick and could afford taking on that risk. Once he dropped out of the top 5 and with every pick after, he became more and more worth the risk. It made a lot of sense for them to take him with that second lottery pick. Surprised they didn’t.

[TD 21]

To think. Clippers could have had Michael Porter, Jr. and still pulled Kawhi and PG last summer... OR they could have used Porter as the key young player in the PG trade and still have SGA along with Kawhi and PG.

Given how depressed Scumbag intentionally made his value, as we found out, the trade the Spurs should have pursued was the Clippers one all along. They supposedly offered Harris and one of 12 or 13.

The Spurs should have thrown in Murray, then pulled the same trade the Clippers did with the Hornets to secure Gilgeous-Alexander and select Porter.

Even if Porter doesn't last, they'd have been much better set up long term and saved themselves the enduring embarrassment of the trade they made.

Lakers aren’t all that, but tbh no team has looked like world beaters. I don’t even think Milwaukee is a shoe-in to win the East. I’m calling it now, Milwaukee doesn’t make it to the NBA Finals. I actually think a team like Miami could give any of the higher seeds in the East fits. That’s if the Heat can get out of the first round themselves.

And in the West, I think Denver is a dangerous team and OKC is a team that could upset one of the LA teams. Obviously Portland would be no picnic if they win the 8th seed. Lakers might not be all that, but I don’t think the Clippers are either.

Shit is wide open in both conferences tbh.

[lefty]

It's obvious Milwaukee won'T win the East, it's been obvious for a while
Toronto and Boston are better imo

Also, MIL and LAL are the worst FT shooting teams this season, that can hurt them in the playoffs down the stretch

Lets be honest the basketball overall hasnt been good, especially on defense. I have enjoyed the increase in pace. But all the bricks turnovers due to forced passes have been ugly. There have been amazing scoring outbursts by Luka Book Harden Warren Dame etc. But even some of that is marred by horrible defense.

The young teams with good coaching like Suns Spurs Raptors are only ones playing close to good consistent ball.

Know we are all starved for sports and u dint velueve un asterisks but this season has been better than nothing...but quality hoops? Nope.

[Killakobe81]

Refs have been shaky too ...but at least no more home cooking ...

[Robz4000]

Its gonna be a random matchup in the Finals imo. Something like Denver vs Miami.

[Seventyniner]

I'm pretty surprised at the lack of positive tests so far. I thought a mini-outbreak would mess the bubble up, but it looks like if it's going to happen it will disrupt the playoffs instead of the "regular season".

I don’t think Memphis loses. They are playing legit NBA starters and the Bucks B/C-Team is pretty bad. Unless Bledsoe has a big game, and, why would he if it helps the Suns, I don’t see it.

Bucks and Grizzlies head coaches are friends and former colleagues, and the Bucks hate the Suns because the Suns have the best win% against them at .750 since drafting Ayton.

Realistically Suns needed Portland to lose yesterday or Memphis to lose vs Thunder.

Suns get 2 close season on a positive note either way.
Book is getting respect as a superstar
Ayton is no Luka but not a bust and may be a top 3 center very soon ...
Cam johnson and Bridges showing flashes...

Future looking bright. Who cares if they miss playoffs if they werent going far? With a team this young? Suns wete the bubble team Nola was hy3oed to be ...

Oh, all this is true. Add that Saric has found a legitimate groove off the bench as backup PF/C and Oubre had a career year prior to injury, and they have 7 strong 25-under players that play solid basketball on both ends.

Rubio-Booker-Mikal-Oubre-Ayton didn’t qualify for Net Rating lineup, but in their short time healthy and playing they were a top-5 Net Rated lineup.

Rubio-Booker-Mikal-Cam-Ayton is officially the top Net Rating for the Bubble, and while they haven’t played every star, they played a mostly-healthy/star-healthy Clippers, Mavs, Pacers.

They have some decisions to make on their roster. Carter has been very good as a bulldog backup PG, Payne has had crazy upside moments and realistic pedestrian moments, but both can be retained for likely pretty cheap.

Saric and Baynes and F Kaminsky are all off, though I think Saric gets extended a Qualifying Offer, and Kaminsky is a Team Option, but until yesterday he was Ass. His 4 million is better spent retaining Saric.

If they make smart decisions they could have the funds to make things difficult for Denver to retain Jerami Grant or Toronto retain Fred VanVleet.

They have their draft pick, too.

Plus expiring deal in Oubre if that is a route they take.


But man, it’s been 10 fucking years since the Suns made the playoffs. So, we are desperate. Like Sex Panther Cologne levels of desperate. Unfortunately 60% of the time our Owner is an Asshole all the time, so, I’m sure this gets fucked up.

This.

I think history will not be kind to this season for obvious reasons. It's really all about having a good foudation and momentum heading into next year, and PHX has all that going for them.

From the Rockets it wouldn't shock me if they lose in the first round or go all the way. :lol So no, it wouldn't shock me either. I'm just saying that it would be funny for the Rockets and Westbrook to lose vs Paul and the Thunder respectively. The Rockets would be losing against the guy they got rid off and Westbrook, well, Westbrook should just call it a career, tbh. :lol

Suns are gonna go 8-0 in the Bubble and not get into the playoff game.

[Arcadian]

The play-in should be Portland vs. Phoenix. Memphis sucks.

[D-Wade]

Blazers are such a jump shooting joke. The fact that Chuck would be high on a team that plays no defense and only has one gameplan makes no sense. Can't even put away a Brooklyn without its true stars.

[Clipper Nation]

:lol All these horseshit calls the Blazers are getting will disappear once it's time to face the Lakers.

124-119 lead the Nets giving up the wide open jumper to Marshmallow. Blown D assignment, super lame.

Oh well it was a fun 4th qtr to watch.

[Chillen]

It's crazy the Suns went 8-0 in the bubble and failed to make playoffs. If any team should be down it's the Suns, not the Spurs because a 22 year playoff streak snapped that most of those players were not part of.

Poor Suns, 8-0 and out.

[MultiTroll]

Suns with the cheapshot by Saric on Doncic can blow me.

18 points in 13 minutes, Doncic was on his way to a monster.

Nonetheless, tremendous shooting by the Suns.

[phxspurfan]

Dame Dollar$ gonna make some bitches cry in the postseason

[Robz4000]

Guests still gotta get by the Grizz in the play-in. Wouldn't shock me if Dillon Brooks got under one of Lollard's jumpers and Zaza's him early in the game.

The NBA Restart has almost been like a whole new season. After 5 months off, some teams came back better than they were before (Suns) and others worse (Grizzlies). So it's just unfortunate that the hottest team in the restart is out because of what happened in the pre-covid season.

True, it's unfortunate the suns didn't get in.

But, I mean this restart , while well orchestrated and safe, has not been the most competitive basketball, imo. No HCA so the top teams either rest everyone or just don't give full effort as the seedings are not real important. And teams like the Suns and Spurs would not have played that well in a arena full of rowdy fans if this were pre-pandemic basketball. So it's fool's gold to a certain extent.

Flagrant foul on Giannis for this? Porzingis ejection for, well, nothing? I can't take it anymore, league is really soft now. Stern Jr is embarrassment.

14 seconds after oreb, bullshit defensive fouls when offensive players just jump onto defender's space. They are just destroying the game right now. All they want is dumb 3-point chucking. Where are the goat level of play from 2004 and 2005 seasons?

They're just trying to "set an example" for viewers. Same reason why some people wear masks, others not, some half-assed, even though everyone in the building has tested negative. It's all for show.

Haven't been watching much of the playoffs. Anything before both teams have won two games just seems pointless given how lackluster the atmosphere is and how soft the game generally is.

No motive for racism if you're referring to George Floyd. He also wasn't innocent.

[Dirks_Finale]

Exactly. No evidence the cop was a racist. He was very likely just an ahole who needed to be dropped from the force years ago.

But it fits the liberal media narrative so let's run with it...

The Raptors are discussing a variety of ways to respond to the police shooting of Jacob Blake in a team meeting -- including potentially not playing against the Celtics on Thursday.

[Dirks_Finale]

If they do keep it up they might go bankrupt :lol

Ratings already down. People have learned to live without it. Same thing happened with the MLB strike in the 90's. Fans left and did not return.

NBA is screwed. Blacks won't stop committing crimes so the police shootings will continue.

We will see how the Election turns out but my prediction has changed over the past few weeks. I think NBA and Biden hitched their wagon on a movement that is now a net negative (and growing).
