2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

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

celtics bench is not good

marc gasol is shooting...26% on twos this year? what?

15-2 #Celtics run with Tremont Waters running point in his @NBA debut.

not watching yet but it's possible tremont is just a baller and plays solid backup PG for like 15 years.

hes been tearing up the d league

budward hield is lighting up the celtics

you just made me look up chavano rainer hield's full name which i gotta say is news to me

p nice tbh

yeah i'd go by chavano, that's a cool name

Dinwiddie keeping it going with 23/9 plus the game winner

hield's only two 30+ point games so far this year are against the celtics

last few mins of this game have been kinda nuts both teams hitting every shot

marcus has been incredible in the last few minutes

yeeeep

he completely destroyed bogdanovich among other things

two very close recent games the vaunted kings-celtics rivalry!

Giannis with 50 tonight
