Regular Degular Redux - 2019-20 NBA Season thread 2

def preferable

Kyrie definitely got Atkinson fired. Is he really worth the trouble?

kyrie shd be a knick its the only way forward

Kyrie would borderline be worth the trouble IF he was ever healthy but....

he's now poisoned his third team in a row so i'm pretty sure the answer is no

will post-achilles kevin durant be worth it?

Malik Beasley is tearing it up for the TWolves, wow. I guess they have to match any offer.

colin sexton hive assemble?

nuggets lookin a lil wobbly lately

They traded the wrong guy it seems

i definitely don't think the kd/kyrie nets will be a top team. maybe if kd comes back 100% somehow they can make it happen but otherwise they're gonna be a 4-6 seed in the current east

nets need to makes some moves to make their roster make more sense kyrie was right about that lol

i can't wait to root against the nets next year. it's going to be a lot of fun.

between bad vibes and their two new stars injury histories seems unlikely theyll ever really make it work

cad otm

pieces already coming out about how kyrie wants to get ty lue (who he will turn on 10 months later)

Kd and Kyrie bromance could go sour before they even play together

it mightve already who knows

but really we should salute the true victims here--every *thoughtful* nba journalist who thought that institutional culture mattered.

kd seems like he doesn't like anybody straight up misanthrope ish

funny to be an nba superstar and a grumpy old man at the same time

yet another way in which jordan was a pioneer

lmao

"In Zach Lowe’s latest pod with Kevin Arnovitz (~7:45 minute mark) they walk through some of the reasons for Atkinson’s dismissal. Key amongst them apparently is some long-simmering tension with DeAndre Jordan coming off the bench, in favor of Jarrett Allen.”

i don't even know what you can say. let the players dig their own grave i guess.

they should just let the players coach themselves

lol

Warriors D team beat the 76ers B team

sactown blowing out pdx at home, maybe my acquaintances will finally stop guaranteeing that they're sneaking into the playoffs this year

Overall weird night of scores. Houston lost to Charlotte, Denver lost to cavs.

major butt status for the sixers

would boston even care that much at this point if that was the 3/6?

Simmons is out indefinitely and embiid and j rich have been out too. I still think they’ll be a tough out in the offs if healthy

Bulls gotta drop Boylen and get Atkinson asap

battle 4 LA 2nite

a really depressing time for the nuggets. that beasley trade stings a lot

mb become a fan “of LA basketball”

Feelin guilty about how bad I want to watch crowdless hoops.

probably would be a bit less posturing, muscle flexing, raising the roof, and all the showbiz gestures players seem to love

happened w an orioles game game a few years ago via the baltimore uprising

lol

“I think the DeAndre Jordan coming off the bench thing was going to be a simmering issue for a long time.”

- Zach Lowe yesterday

Today DeAndre Jordan gets the start over Jarrett Allen in the Nets’ first game without Kenny Atkinson 😯 pic.twitter.com/JSDOjWTqyS

big lolllll

future celtic jarrett allen

Lmbo

why cldnt this have happened a month ago

yeah cld be bad 4 clips

Will be interested to hear what the crowd makeup is for this, a Clippers home game. Historically Laker fans buy a lot of these seats - if this is a Western Conference Finals preview, will it in effect turn into seven Lakers home games? pic.twitter.com/UVPoG0uoyI

what a profoundly shitty thing to do to jarrett allen.

Lakers have limit the early shot clock jumpers from Rondo, Bradley etc.

The nuggets are getting smashed on defense so trading Beasley really isn’t their problem per se

Millsap just not the difference maker there he was early in the season....

three point shooting
