2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

really tho ben simmons being useless in the halfcourt is what undermines everything

plenty of bullshit to go around, also they are awful on the road and v good at home

you know whod be rly good on the sixers? jimmy butler

lagoon otm. they play 3 centers not 2. i think embiid and horford could coexist with a more normal perimeter group but ben simmons is as set in his ways as ever.

feel like brett brown's on his last year

theyve got a ton of talent so they can win on any given night and prob really any given series i mean they came as close as you can to beating the eventual champs last year but they are also just unsound

tho their roster is much worst than last year so not sure if that really applies anymore

xp some of the playoff projections have sixers/bucks as a second-round matchup which would portend major changes for the team on the losing side.

he was weirdly anonymous tho, too many guys needed the ball

if i had to guess brett brown is nothing special but he's literally never had a normal team so it's tough to say.

whiteside picks up the first 20-20 game of ... 2020

you know what they say...whiteside is 20-20

Jimmy was anonymous until the playoffs when he showed his worth. At times the only guy who could manufacture a play

this may be true but simmons was already on the team, and there's no real argument for wanting horford over simmons longterm. so to whatever extent horford makes simmons' life harder it's an unforced error by the front office.

shd also be said horf is gonna be 37 by the end of this contract and philly offered him more-longer than anyone

I would take McCollum for Horford in a heartbeat.

Embiid
Harris
Richardson
McCollum
Simmons

feels a lot better to me and adds a shot creator, which they don't really have. Though

really tho ben simmons being useless in the halfcourt is what undermines everything

starting to feel like the truth.

blazers are not doing mcc for horford in a million years guys sorry

Sixers are stuck with horford. Can’t see any way around it.

far more likely that brand gets desperate and trades for chris paul

oh that would be...some kind of perfect

cp for simmons

okc might could pull it off if they threw in a few of those 1RPs they're hoarding.

such a terrible possession and he did the same thing the next time down and turned it over

he dribbled the entire clock btw on that clip

Mavs Hornets going into overtime.

still wild to me that hte hornets are not a bottom 5 team

they've got it where it counts, right here [points to the head, where the brain is]

pj washington has looked pretty good when i've watched the hornets

i for one never understood this trade. you already have a top 2 center and a $30 million PF. when is grant really going to be making an impact.

#Bulls coach Jim Boylen on his liberal use of timeouts early, sometimes at the expense of not having them late in games: "We practice to not have timeouts. I'm not in fear mode that we don't have timeouts, because we're prepared to not have them."

this guy kicks ass

lmao

.....timeouts are nothing to me

I don’t believe in time outs I believe in “time ins”

i use all my timeouts so that i don't have timeouts

this devonte graham season is an alltime out of nowhere er

he was awesome at kansas!

went from a 23 y/o r2nd rounder who spent half his season in the g league to 3rd in 3pt makes and 6th in assists

the troops are prepared to survive without food. it does not matter that they are starving.

Pelicans are only 3 games out of the playoffs and have by far the easiest remaining schedule of any Western Conference team.

Also... Zion.

theres 7 teams within those three games lol some of these teams need to decide if theyre tanking or not

i wonder if the fact that nobody seems to like this draft is keeping some teams from picking that direction.

please spell his name properly it's devonte' graham

It seems like long term MPJ is that guy but it made sense to hedge that bet
