2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

whiteside always goes through stretches where he looks worth the money... in the regular season there will be like a dozen or so games per year where you're like, thank god we had whiteside tonight! the problem is the rest of the games

assuming some other team doesn't do something stupid i think whiteside will actually be good value for whichever contender throws him $5 million or whatever to play the javale/dwight sort of role

He’s just such a loser

hahahaha sources say

wonder if bron texts him directly or has one of his ppl do it

its sources plural so both obviously

today dallas had a 30pt lead w 3mins left in the 3rd and LOST

Whoa that’s p nuts

quality collapse

Ahead of Malcolm Brogdon's return to Milwaukee, he spoke to reporters outside of the locker room. In a perfect world, would he have stayed? “I would’ve loved to play for this team, if they had wanted me. If they had valued me the way the Pacers value me. That’s all I gotta say.”

the rumblings i remember hearing were that he was actively interested in getting out of milwaukee

crazy he got possessed by the ghost of playoff Bledsoe tonight

Yah that was the rumor cad.

he was never going to have his current opportunity in mil

ya

Just in case Crawford or JR doesn’t work out:

Dion Waiters would be perfect for the Lakers. All he would have to do is just go get buckets and that’s what he do!

this is what melo's reclamation has wrought

melo is shooting a career best from 3, in fact his 3% is actually > his 2%. he's still a neg on VORP and BPM, though.

doesn't matter that you shoot 40% from 3 if you brick a ton of 2s. his TS% is real bad

not bad, just mediocre. which is i guess just what portland needed from him

everyone here agreed that signing melo was a desperation move. when you judge it by that standard, he has been an unexpected success just by fitting in and being usable on the court.

It was a move that made sense. Only team that really could do it

its funny hes putting up about the same numbers as he did in houston

for a lot less money, aiui

I’m sure this is going to jinx it, but jokic’s december has been pretty reassuring

per-36: 21.0 pts, 11.1 reb, 9.0 ast, .537/.372/.853, .619 ts%

Jokic has lost a ton of weight this season

I’ve noticed it too!

Cleveland has agreed to trade Jordan Clarkson to Utah for Dante Exum, league sources tell ESPN.

yokay

Jonathan Isaac 5x5 alert

if gary harris doesn’t make an all-defensive team this year the award’s a joke

folks jokic is back

He looks like he cares that’s all we wanted

what if the whole thing was just............a joke

It’s weird he seemed like he’d be a perennial 50/40/90 candidate a couple years back

Tons of wild athletic plays in this pdx vs pels game. Jaxson Hayes jumps high and jumps often.

Twolves getting stomped by the warriors yeesh

Wolves are in a bad place

not great

Feel like Teague would be a good trade candidate

And RoCo obv, but he may have played himself out of being desirable this season

someone prob still take a shot at him

Need windhorst to weigh in on if this is load mgmt or not

LeBron James and Anthony Davis are both questionable to play on Christmas Day.

I’m excited for Dante Exum to start his 7th rookie season with a new team

How do you break up with a team?

they just crush my spirit

first you take the big leap away along with its plunge into grief and loss, then you get to have your 'rebound' affair with any team that takes your fancy. it's fun, but be aware it could become a lasting relationship, or soon feel empty and unfulfilling, leading to a series of one-season flings.

you don't break up with them. you just start seeing them less and less. you get a side piece. then, when your main thing gets their act together you swoop in and pretend like you never left them

there's a few decent teams that could use a surrogate fan here, don't think we have anyone for toronto or indy
