2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

I’m kinda concerned by this buddy Hield season

This kings/wolves game is abysmal. 97 up going into double OT. Both teams doing their best to lose and failing.

melo you dum dum

pdx got back in but melo was bad

i legit dont know more than half of the roster that played for the wiz tonight:

Buddy reveals that the Kings have “trust issues” 👀 pic.twitter.com/lW0zqweO6j

Even though it was a competitive game even the kings homer announcers seemed despondent over the coaching throughout without pointing fingers.

Hield needs to shut up tho. You can’t play defense and you’re in a massive shooting slump, you’re gonna have to sit sometimes

whining about it to the media is an awful look and he comes off (again) like a very selfish player.

that said if fox is hurt and he's sitting then the end result is bogdanovic going 8-28 while spending a lot of time as their only perimeter creator. i think i would have had him out there even if he's tossing a shitload of bricks.

i guess the main problem is that last year's 39 wins look like a mirage. these guys can't play consistently at that level.

Nets only made 8 2-pt shots last night lmao

Yah buddy has kinda shot his reputation over the last few months. He puts off some weird energy

Carlisle saying the post-up is dead because porzingis can’t post up is bullshit. They tried it a bunch in the first month and it just didn’t work.

the post up is kinda dead tho

Does Joker not post up? It’s such a good move when you have a great passing big man

Jokic and Embiid post up and everyone agrees that this should be done.

If Zinger was shooting 45% on midrange postups they’d be doing it a lot

In his rant about it Carlisle also said Porzingis was “historically great” which reveals what the whole statement is really about imo

Carlisle rant was great player coaching and nothing more. Getting amour ahead of a narrative that tnt crew are trying to create.

imo Carlisle ranks just behind Pops as a great NBA coach. I trust that he knows just what he's saying and why he is saying it, and his reasons run deeper than they appear on the surface. Spottie otm.

is embiid doing well on post ups this year? I remember reading that he was actually pretty bad at them as of last year

he just does whatever

jokic is the perfect guy to post up in that hes a threat to score and passes real good but most players cant really make it work on any volume

defenses flooding the strong side make it tough

I’m really biased obviously but the nuggets probably should trade for gallo. Their offense just hasn’t been the same since they lost him, and they desperately need someone to carry the second unit offensively. They have a lot of assets to make it work without changing the rotation much.

their offense was pretty killer last year!

but yeah I want gallo

their offense was pretty killer last year!

6th, but for some reason I thought it was even better

Hmm ok I thought it went like 3rd 6th 15th

So Jaylen brown was worth the contract extendo it seems

hes ballin out

yeah, but it's December. a good time to curb one's enthusiasm.

btw i noticed watching the highlights from todays game that kevin love really used to be so strong and hes not anymore, kinda sad

got too skinny, prob

He might just not really care for hoops as much anymore idk.

he seems even thinner than when bron was there but yeah that also

Aw

The Miami Heat surprise rookie Chris Silva with a surprise visit from his mom. This is her first time watching her son play in the NBA 😭👏

pretty impressed with the pacers... much like the heat they essentially don't put a single player out on the floor who is a negative. aside from the 1-8, 2-7 match up, every series in the east playoffs seems like it's gonna be really good

Dubs 4 in a row baby we back

Suns... 4-16 in their last 20 :-|

some srsly scrappy teams

otm re k love xp

tho i think if he had stayed heavy he prob wldve had a worse injury situation than he already did

yeah but he got hot and put in GQ photo spreads and stuff, you gotta hear both sides

z-bo with the z-board retired :/

Cool player softest touch I’ve ever seen

Will never forget how he torched and eliminated the spurs one month after rick reilly said he’d never win a playoff series

aw, i know his skills aren't ideal for the current era nba, but it's weird that he played zero minutes last season despite putting up good numbers the prior season.
