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

it's best to play well, generally a good indicator

im not saying it doesnt matter

this nuggets/jazz game is 32-24 halfway through the 2nd quarter, what year is this

i've been watching the celtics and there is no indication that they're just going to figure it out in the playoffs. it could happen but it won't be anything we can see currently.

i think ramping up the defensive intensity wld go a long way

also in the playoffs al horford starts yelling which really gets everyone fired up

the donovan mitchell scoop layups are sweet to behold. nuggets made that game good!

gary harris has shot it really poorly this year. hopefully he can stay healthy and get some rhythm heading into the playoffs

Some debated if Doncic had enough athleticism for the NBA. Even now, one executive has doubts: "It was expected he would perform ahead of his class, given the fact that he did stuff that no other young player had done in the European league...but it's hard to say he's going to be an MVP-type player because he's already so good this young, and athletically, he doesn't have the upside of many other kids."

idk...

lol yeah already so good young is exactly not an argument against being better later

his lack of athleticism will prob hold him back on D, theres tons of great unathletic offensive players tho

also need to see him in nba shape to really know

lol @ anonymous executive so high on "upside" that he fails to recognize the value of currently being really, really, really good.

also there's a real conflation with athleticism and ability to improve. you can improve your game in many ways that don't involve athleticism!

learning how to play basketball good lol

if the biggest complaint about his game is "he needs to get in better shape," that's pretty ideal imo. it is not hard for pro athletes to get into better shape.

yeah and its not uncommon for rookies to not be in nba shape

hope the zinger can stay healthy and it can be the luka n zing show down there

The San Antonio Spurs and center Pau Gasol have agreed on a contract buyout, clearing the way for the six-time All-Star to be playoffs-eligible for his next team, league sources told ESPN.

huh

he's going to the bucks apparently

huh

bucks r loading up

hes not very good any more

...just checked the depth chart and old man gasol actually looks like an ok pickup cos after bropez theyve got nothing.
http://www.espn.com/nba/team/depth/_/name/mil

both him and lopez will be such targets in the offs

of course

they're probably very pissed the knicks didn't buy out deandre

he wouldn't fit with a bud team at all, but he has to have more gas in the tank than gasol?

4/70 extension for bledsoe to stay. good value for bucks. feels like the right price

i think the knicks arent opposed to bringing back DJ on a good deal.. and DJ and KD are best buds so Im sure they want him there for free agency pitches and if the big free agents end up coming.

Bledsoe is so good when he isn’t trying to heroball all the time

big contract for a coward

pau is utterly cooked but he can reproduce some of lopez's skill set for 5-10 minutes. he is unusable in the playoffs against any of the good teams.

little dicey to pay a guy who's having a career year at age 29 (and is also a coward) but they need him and can't easily replace him.

Just turned 29. And it’s really not a bad number. If he slips a bit you can justify that salary using him as a 6th man like he used to be.

yeah it's an ok AAV

4 year manager gets to suit up and play. 👍👍🏀🏀

feel like Milwaukee wants to keep their core players together for a few more years, they got something that works

He is a coward tho lagoon otm he’s got to show out in these playoffs if they want to advance. I may have waited to extend if I was the bucks for that reason, keep him hungry for that extension... although maybe they saw that and tried to take all the pressure off of him for the playoff push?

i assume they just didn't want to let him near the open market if he was up for a reasonable extension

i think the parquet floor is bad in the age of streaming video, visually noisy stuff like that makes the video compress worse
