It is the years 2018-19 in the National Basketball Association (NBA) - The Regular Season

lakers need to move back to minny and the wolves go to LA, only fair

Rose is good again:

Rose had the basketball world buzzing three weeks ago, when he scored a career-high 50 points in a home win against Utah on Halloween. He made 19 of 31 shots, went 4-for-7 from 3 and delivered both the go-ahead basket and the game-saving block inside the final 30 seconds.

In 11 games since that night, Rose has averaged 22.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists while shooting 55.4 percent from the field and 56.3 percent from 3.

insane

yeah last night I went and compared his numbers to his MVP season and they're really close, like he's scoring at about the same rate on better efficiency, lower usage and fewer assists but more or less having a comparable year

2011 per 36 minutes
24.1 pts, 3.9 reb, 7.4 ast, 1.0 stl, 0.6 blk, 3.3 tov, .445/.332/.858, 23.5 PER

2019 per 36 minutes
23.3 pts, 4.2 reb, 5.4 ast, 0.7 stl, 0.3 blk, 2.3 tov, .492/.478/.855, 20.5 PER

wow

Him hitting 3s has opened it all up

PER must really like assists huh

truly the most cursed possible nba season

lol

It feels suspiciously like the standings will be in chaos all season, then the Warriors will repeat as champs, then the dubs will fly apart next offseason amid acrimony and Twitter drama (except for Klay, who'll express genuine sadness over it, tweet pics of his dogs, and stay friends with everyone).

PER must really like assists huh

assists are good! his usage is also 7 points lower than that season

that makes more sense

wizards playing with some heart. such a weird team

harden with 54 (!) and 10 TOs (!!!) rn

Maybe he’ll get a triple bumble

54-8-13-3 and 11 TOs in a loss

celtics broadcast b-team play by play guy insists on calling kyrie "uncle drew" every * fucking * time

does...does he think that's his real name?

uncle drew w a nice 4x5 game

he's just a dork tbh which is fine if he's relegated to the studio show that i don't watch.

klaaaaaaay

this magic team is fun as hell. bamba/isaac/vooch is a really nice big rotation

wow KD back baby

the celtics scored a reasonable amount of points in nearly every quarter tonight im proud to announce

the jazz.... did not... again

the jazz are behaving erratically someone shd check on them

this magic team is fun as hell. bamba/isaac/vooch is a really nice big rotation

if bamba and isaac turn out to be be good at basketball that cld be an extremely nuts frontcourt, theyre both extremely stretched out aliens even by nba standards

like idk how u wld get a shot up anywhere near the basket

i guess we should add aaron gordon to that rotation.

bamba and isaac were hitting 3s tonight idk. gonna be hard to give them more than 15 minutes each per night with vooch and gordon ahead of them. they really need to sell high on vooch right now tho

RoCo is good

It's amazing (though to many of us not surprising) how much impact RoCo has on defense: the Wolves went from being next to last in DRtg before the trade (113.9) to having a league-best 99.5 DRtg w/ RoCo playing, while Sixers dropped from a respectable 106.3 to 113.3 (25th). pic.twitter.com/vCAN2vruyq

People call Covington "RoCo"?We live in the era of the shittiest nicknames.

We should just officially adopt all of the translations of Chinese nicknames.

Definitely

EZ you have some major issues with nicknames

i think there were perhaps some other reasons why the wolves were next to last in DRtg before acquiring robert covington.................................................

for whatever reasons, and not to discount Jimmy's talent at all, but the team just feels cohesive in a way that it hasn't for a long long time right now...at least this stretch of games. just feels like people know what their role is and KAT is feeling more confident to take control on offense, and we're switching a lot more on D

the fact that you guys were able to win a game where wiggins and covington went 1/30 combined is promising.

yeah they were crazy bad that night

i want us to do well but not well enough to convince supreme senile king dipshit to keep thibs as coach

People call Covington "RoCo"?We live in the era of the shittiest nicknames.

Lord Covington is a better nickname.

I have an issue with uncreative initials (especially ones that aren't actual initials, like RWB for Russell Westbrook), initials and numbers (CP3), or shit abbreviations (RoCo) that sound like NASDAQ listings.

RWB and RoCo suck, for some reason CP3 is okay to me

RoCo reminds me of CoCo this "coworking space" in mpls

i think rococo would be good but roco is bad

My biggest issue with CP3 is it has more syllables than Chris Paul. That's fine if it's a nickname, but CP3 rides that abbreviation/nickname line so it gets a NOPE.

I like Rococo too.

Lord Rococo would be a good nickname.

joker for jokic is one that i like

he shd be forced to do an uninspired impression of the joker in post game interviews

the jack nicholson joker

all nicknames shd be given by deranged internet users
