2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

starting lauri and carter i assume?

man the bulls are atrocious

i don’t understand anything about what they’re trying to do

i have no idea how a theoretical line up of coby white/zach lavine/otto porter/lauri markannen/wendell carter is even supposed to play

Trust the process!

Bulls need whole new front office but owners have an enormous hard on for GarPax and are very very cheap. Reinsdorf needs to sell to someone who yknow actually likes basketball better than fucking baseball

I was just bitching yesterday about my experience of going to conf finals vs Heat at united center and these greedy fuckers oversold the standing room only tix which resulted in multiple scuffle among fans trying to just get a sight line to the court

the ILH bowl is on

and it took a very unpleasant turn

Whoa what happened??

i didnt see it but kemba leaving on a stretcher

Oh nooooooooo Kemba

wow shit

neck injury?

oh shit just heard about kemba, sounds awful

Piledrove his head into his teammate while chasing loose ball

fuck :(

crazy injury, head down full speed and just ran into a wall of a dude

Oh no

really hope he’s ok

awful awful awful to hear

Reports coming back with concussion and not a major injury (concussion is pretty major tho imo)

Pat Bev in pure form vs Russ/Harden

Nothing but respect for my president.

Let’s check in on the bulls

Bulls Head Coach Jim Boylen pulled Zach LaVine 3 minutes into the game for making ‘3 egregious defensive mistakes’

Zach’s response: “Zach LaVine got 13 points scored on him I guess. Or was it the starting 5? I don’t remember.“

it is plausible that zach lavine had 15 points scored on him to open the game

Likely, even

Pretty sure these are the three defensive plays that Boylen was criticizing LaVine for postgame. They happened on three consecutive possessions. Boylen called a timeout after the last one and pulled LaVine out of the game after only 3:27 of 1Q playing time. pic.twitter.com/8LwHhoIPvm

the last two plays are pretty egregious, he’s basically standing completely still watching a wide open three pointer take a shot

as a rockets hater i have nothing but love for how much austin rivers plays for them

westbrook doesn’t look right

I was wrong about the rockets

xp i'm always amazed how bad rivers looks

the clippers are playing the rockets how i’ve seen the heat play them, which is to double harden as soon as he crosses half court and accept playing 4 on 3 after he passes it. westbrook and capela don’t have much chemistry right now.

This game is good

Both teams have a lot to figure out but the clips depth is crazy

did it right there and russ bricked the 3

that’s a pop a shot jumper for kawhi

Rwb solves nothing for this rox squad

classic russ

Yah they left Russ wide open

Wow they missed a wide open Ben mclemore to force feed harden

Rwb solves nothing for this rox squad

Yah cp really was the ideal harden teammate.

harden is so ridiculous that he can win any regular season game by himself, but the rockets are clearly below the LA teams for me come the playoffs, meaning they won’t have advanced any further than last year

idk if cp was ideal but pairing westbrook with harden just invites double teams unless russ is gonna make the right pass every time

If they couldn’t do it last year after kd went down and curry was in the middle of a weird energy funk then it’s not gonna happen. Cos they are def not better with Russ.

There was a few times harden passed up to Russ and then didn’t even barely cross half court
