2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

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.

Suspicious package in Vivint smart home arena. Entire arena being evacuated. Players leaving some still in uniform

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

it shouldn’t be a viable defense in the NBA to willingly play 4 on 3. but the rockets don’t really make teams pay for it and it’s not all russ’ fault. with gordon hurt there’s always at least one guard or wing on the floor who you’re daring to shoot.

Pg knows that’s a win for the defense

Paul George basically says “please shoot Russ” pic.twitter.com/KaBeI2hmCS

Missed Ben mac for the corner three:

Very “unique” alignment by Rockets. A bit head scratching that they wouldn’t try and screen for Harden to get open. Or have him screen then pop open. pic.twitter.com/ArE2R4LYfX

Rookie who’s shooting 44% from three apparently

the third alltime ncaa scorer!

Ha I don’t pay attention til they’re drafted

Harden never watched warriors games before?

Rockets’ James Harden on the attention he’s seeing: “The whole season they’re running doubles teams at me. I’ve never seen that in an NBA game where you’ve got really good defenders & someone else running at the top of the key. Y’all let me know the last time you’ve seen that.” pic.twitter.com/eVxRUgds76
