2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

that’s highly ridiculous

Back at it champ

Evan Fournier lowkey having the contract push of the season

ok, the warriors are very sad. that's all.

They’re doing the right thing but it is pretty wild the way things have gone down since game 5 of the finals

DLo+Dray+1st pick for Giannis?

bucks only doing that if they know giannis gone

dubs would need to throw in another 1st rounder or two as well

dont think you can trade giannis unless you're forced to and also you get 10k draft picks back

i’m v jealous of dubs fans bc their team knows they need to tank this year for the greater good. my bumass team still wants to “figure things out” with their bumass former borderline all-stars.

I’m watching on DVR so only in the second quarter, but this Dubs/Hawks game is just some trash basketball. I await the supercut.

Jordan Poole hasn’t made a shot yet this whole season iirc

boylen is BRUTAL

feel bad for the guy man how do you not just resign

Looking at the list of post-Phil head coaches for the Bulls and it’s just an uninspired group of bland unqualified mediocrities plus despised taskmaster Thibs. Boylen makes one long for them to bring in someone more respectable like David Blatt or maybe a third unknown Van Gundy or Derek Fisher.

prob not in any position to turn down the $$$ xp

extending boylen was patently insane from the jump. the bulls are one of the worst franchises in the league at this point.

he provoked a mutiny his first week on the job! lol

lol something about boylen strikes me as a guy who owes the wrong people too much money

cld see him wagering sums

the bulls owe the wrong person (him) too much money

feels like the bulls employ him because they hate basketball and want their players to suffer

The melo player of the week thing is hilarious

They're currently 6th in attendance. Why pay for good head coaches, that's for suckers.

guys can we not talk about trading Giannis

bucks are totally shredding the league and no ones really talking about it fwiw

luka is the hot new toy.

weve also seen this before from the bucks then they ran into playoff kawhi

wonder if getting giannis more post touches might be good, he does a lot of dribbling into the post type moves which maybe is a little easier on the defense

weve also seen this before from the bucks then they ran into playoff kawhi fred van vleet

yeah i mean when youre getting lit up by fred yr shit is prob just not working

have a hard time seeing the bucks beating the heathy clippers but the good news for them is the clippers stars are both injury prone

the thing with giannis is hes unstoppable in transition which by nature makes him a better regular season than playoff player

Milwaukee's biggest liability in a big playoff series is Eric Bledsoe, I dunno if he just gets the yips or what but his stroke is just way off when the pressure's on. even worse when he makes a run-and-gun 3 early and then proceeds to brick 8 in a row before half. if he's bad again this year and they get bounced I'm sure the "should they have kept Brogdon instead" talk will go the entire offseason

well he is a coward

still im not sure giannis has ever proven that he can "get buckets when all the chips are in" like bron or kawhi

"should they have kept Brogdon instead"

was this an actual possibility

still im not sure giannis has ever proven that he can "get buckets when all the chips are in" like bron or kawhi

true but hes still only 24 years old

honestly I don't know how any front office stuff works but I remember when Bledsoe got his extension last year there was a lot of talk about how that money should've been used to retain Brogdon instead

still im not sure giannis has ever proven that he can "get buckets when all the chips are in" like bron or kawhi

yeah i think brogdon wanted out after they went all in on bledsoe

trading for and spending big on bledsoe is the type of small mistake that keeps a team out of the winners circle

That really isn’t bron’s thing

its one of his many things

Kyrie and Ray Allen were pretty good at it for him

Honestly can’t remember Lebron hitting a big shot in the playoffs. I’m sure it happened in some of his 300 career playoff games

those were two very great and important shots but bron "imposed his will" on countless big game situations

Giannis imposes his will pretty well

idk he kind got shut down or at least shut down enough by the raps, his lack of shooting makes his bag of tricks smaller

tbh going with Bledsoe makes some sense to me, he's faster & a better defender, plus Brogdon's had some injury issues. but Brog was pretty good in the playoffs, he was really the only dude for Milwaukee who showed up in ECF besides Giannis & Brook Lopez, plus that one Middleton game
