2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

thank u magic for getting out of that oppressive lakers front office and blessing us with the unvarnished truth

starting to feel like there's going to be a lot of good nba games and players

Games and players are something that fans can’t get enough of and the 2019-2020 NBA season has a lot of both

Looks like Malik Beasley is out of the rotation. Wonder what happens there

maybe not lol

I reverse jinx so many guys

Nuggets having the most pedestrian seeming 12-3 start that I can remember

they don't have the look of a team you'd be afraid to face

it’s been such a miserable jokic season

Wonder what’s up. No articles taking about weird vibes yet?

the team chemistry overall seems fine and they’re winning but jokic needs to stop sucking if they want to actually contend

posting the worst true shooting % of his career by a lot

Seems like stats are down across the board for him but the eye test confirms it.

taking a career-high 3 pt attempts at less than 25%

#lazy

its weird but will probably self-correct, guys don't fall off that hard at age 24 without an injury

I think he’s been pretty good the last 5 games even if the stats haven’t been

he should decide if he actually likes basketball and if so he should try harder at it

Btw he had one of the 5 best plays of his career tonight imo

eh

I mean he's had two game winners this year

His game winners weren’t genius tho

he could dominate if he wanted to

i think its ok if nikola wants to ease into the season

I keep mentioning how much blazers miss Zack .He was improving & his skill level was starting to match what Doncic is doing for Mavs.

uhhhh

lol

look forward to that match being completed upon his return

lol i feel like i've told a dozen mike rice stories on ilh but that is the most mike rice thing i've seen since he got booted off the air

yeah, mike rice is a total 'homer' and a suck-up. he sees the blazers as the navel of the world, with the rest of the league only existing to give the blazers a reason to exist.

and hell he could be right

I liked how Porzingis looked yesterday, he was much more aggressive rebounding and he didn’t force anything offensively

yeah he’s looked better recently. still kind of finding his way offensively

if u cant find a way to play with luka well then just pack it in buddy

everyone wondering why Boylen still has is job, it's always the same answer as any question about wtf the Bulls are doing: Cheap owners who are only using the team to finance Reinsdorf's true love, the White Sox.

random story but my next door neighbor is like head of maintenance at the white sox spring training facility which is down the road from us. dude hooks it up with spring training tickets and gear and what not. he's given our family (or when extended fam comes in from out of town) a tour of the facility a couple times to check out the locker room, etc. last time he had us all go into reinsdorfs corner office and we all hung out in there for a bit and talked and my 3 y/o sat at his desk chair and before i could stop him he grabbed the half smoked cigar that was sitting in the ashtray and asked what it was. lmao no one there had really any clue who the guy was or just how rich he is. i had to be like yall ever heard of ... michael jordan and the bulls?

lol nice

“Given Reinsdorf’s resistance to paying luxury tax even when the Bulls are competing for titles”

This seems like a hypothetical resistance

there's a direct quote from Reinsdorf in this Sam Smith book that made me furious:
"I thought the Sox might go broke. In 1981 and 1982 , we lost money and there was a strike. I thought the Bulls could help me keep the White Sox solvent, a synergy with programming and sponsors. It made sense."

The bulls stumbled into Jerry Krause as GM (and by extension Phil Jackson as coach) because they strangely hired him into the White Sox organization after years of being a well-regarded NBA scout

#KyrieWatch

Nets are 4-1 without Kyrie and Dinwiddie won player of the week? Lol
