2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

lonnie was a 5 star top 15 recruit who was pretty good his one year in college. i think he fell in the draft because he’s had some minor knee issues but it was a steal for the spurs. he’s gonna be better than guys like jerome robinson, troy brown jr, zhaire smith, devencenzo who were taken immediately before him.

Spurs gotta find a way to rid themselves of derozan

What’s going on w dejounte?

he's an awkward fit in the starting lineup bc he still cant shoot and aldridge and derozan dont spread the floor. they also slow the game down and dejounte is most deadly on the fastbreak because of his speed. he had some rough games and seemed to lose confidence and assertiveness. his best minutes tonight were running with lonnie on the break.

him and aldridge both. (note: lonnie and jak poeltl had career nights when LA was out, hmmmm)

xxp

Rudy Gay seems like a tradable piece to a contender

poeltl tonight had 6-15-5-6 blks-1 stl, he's a fuckin beast

Demar gonna opt out and get 4/110 from the knicks

lord willing

So glad to see this spurs-rox game ended with harden failing to get a call for barreling into someone

Kawhis shooting numbers are way down this year. Assists up tho.

carmelo-whiteside has to be one of the most brutal defensive combos in recent history

Up there with dame and CJ no doubt

whiteside’s relationship to the basketball is like a cat’s to a laser pointer

Haha

when you take contracts into account trading chris paul for montrezl harrell was pretty neat

melo attempts at closing out on pat patterson are actively depressing

that omar post upthread is fantastic cheers

And lou will right?

Maybe this has something to do w jokics funk?

https://denver.cbslocal.com/2019/10/01/nikola-jokic-brother-charged-with-assault/

Nikola Jokic: “Right now I’m struggling, so coach, he’s a smart guy, he’s not going to give the ball to the guy who’s not making shots. I’m cool with it. I’m good.”

he sounds like he's cool with it

Harden and Westbrook went 18/68 from the field. That’s amazing stuff

whiteside’s relationship to the basketball is like a cat’s to a laser pointer

we need an ILH excelsior thread, just so this can be the first post in it

Whiteside is probably planning to do his contract push entirely in the last month if the season but that doesn’t really work if your team misses the playoff because of how you played the other months

Will Barton said they problem with Jokic is just that he’s missing all the little “BS shots” he normally makes and I’m inclined to agree

he’s also shooting 20% on 3s and his rebounding and assists are down. he’s having a disaster of a start for a player of his stature

He just shouldn’t shoot 3s.

EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE KEVIN I’M NOT EMOTIONALLY READY FOR INFORMATION THAT COULD HURT ME

lol

he might just be out of shape

'might'

i mean hes def out of shape but that might be the whole ass problem

It seems like he’s lost all the offseason weight and his defense has actually been good. He isn’t doing insane frustration fouls as much and is hustling. But he just seems so depressed

yeah I think he just needs a vacation or maybe a girlfriend

mb hes addicted to marijuana edibles

hmm

plenty of Big Honey to go around...ladies.

aww pau is joining the blazers coaching staff, hope it works out for him

man jalen brunson is going in tonight

sick play
