2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

the thing the nugs are short on is size and athleticism (and a 2nd star but not sure if thats relevant to a beasley trade unless he was part of a package)

It’s not great that all their 3 point shooters max out at 37% when their best player is a passer who creates double teams

truu

reports are coming in that the wolves held a players only meeting...

well those always go well

the first step toward healing and winning the nba playoffs

Players Only is the name of a strip club

In retrospect it was pretty rough for the wolves that Thibodeau made Bjelica hate the NBA so much he almost left the league

blazers should tank sorry everyone

well, they already traded for whiteside, what else do you want?

fuckin wolves every year.,..

this was a great moment in wolves history, Jimmy Butler lying about calling a player's only meeting

Another Wolves player, Darius Johnson-Odom, tweeted (then deleted) that there was no players-only meeting.

So far, we have Jeff Teague, Darius Johnson-Odom and player-development coach John Lucas III saying there WASN'T a meeting versus Jimmy Butler saying there WAS a meeting. pic.twitter.com/ggRAZPWiu6

jimmy one of the weirdest guys in the league

the heat are really so good for him bcuz they only like young players who are "gym rats" so now he has no one to yell at

yeah the 'heat culture' is really all he ever wanted

perfect fit

Riley is the perfect exec to handle Jimmy, figure at some point he'll take him aside and suggest he's "demonstrating a failure to show appreciation".

yeah like there was a franchise out there already self-selecting for "players who could reasonably get along with jimmy butler", good for jimmy (and the heat) that he found it

why is justice winslow always hurt

I don’t think Rui Hachimura is gonna be good.

someone should probably let jokic know that the game has started

Lol, Jokic just did a toreador on a pass.

Jokic’s defense has been so good this game. Kind of hilariously so

They need to play MPJ 20 minutes a game. His good-case scenario is just too perfect for what they need and they need to give it every chance.

Classic Whiteside statpadding game here

if the celtics lose this game i will remember jayson tatum committing 3 turnovers in 4 possessions to start the 4th quarter

if they want to have groups out there with one starter and four reserves it needs to be brown or hayward. tatum can't do it right now.

fucking doug mcdermott just did a martial arts palm strike into gordon hayward's nose

smh wite on wite crime

the sorting of 2-6 in the east is gonna be very interesting

cld see the raps getting dropped by the pack and pacers staying in the mix if they can find some health

Gordon Hayward tells reporters in Indy he didn’t break his nose, he’s got a headache, and will see how he feels Thursday morning.

good dunk

reminds me of those absurd dunks they'd let Kobe do in NBA Courtside where the game engine hadn't calculated the physics properly so he just magically elevates another foot

the suns were so salty after that game they all left the court without doing the customary hugs and “good game” with the grizz

it really does from that first angle looks like he pushes himself up w his off arm or something but then no its just jumping xp

As @ZachLowe_NBA mentioned on his podcast, here's Kevin Love intentionally taking a three second call out of frustration
