Regular Degular Redux - 2019-20 NBA Season thread 2

prayers for the ilh cru (and the whole damn world frankly what a mess)

damn :( get well soon y'all

Sixers keep on Sixering: they apparently plan to play Simmons at the 4 when things start back up.

harrison barnes got the covid too

the 4 is the most common position for simmons's size and skillset so that makes sense

weird midseason timing aside at least they finally realized the 7fter who cant shoot isnt a pg

if i were a team that needed center id be trying to trade for that mfr like crazy, feel like hes actually undervalued now, not sure abt his personality thoo

like i dont actually want him on the celtics is what im trying to say... except maybe i do

any decent team that gets him becomes immediately unstoppable on the break

they found him

Yeah, I won't argue with this, but the timing is messed up and it doesn't solve one of the problems they had this year: Harris is a 4 playing the 3, and Richardson is a 3 playing the 2. I think part of the reason why their defense isn't as good as everyone thought this year is half the team was playing out of position.

Also, perfect Philly fools' gold is relying on a G-League-er like Milton to be your starting PG right before the playoffs after 23 games or whatever. I like Milton and there is a chance he could be good, but it's just so likely to fail when he stops shooting 50% from 3.

Anyway, hope the players stay healthy and we get hoops.

jeez guys, hoping for strong lungs and quick recoveries for all.

I'm ready for this!

Jokic claiming he didn’t lose any weight in quarantine. Give me a break!

simmons at the 4 makes all the sense in the world though i still don't know how good the fit with embiid is

I hope you all are right. Obviously they have nothing to lose, just makes no sense given all their moves of the last 12 months.

yeah still dont think the fit w embiid is gonna work, really they need to move one of those guys and play the other at center and get someone who can run the pick n roll

you know whos actually a great pnr ball handler gordon hayward

Lol, you want Horford back for Hayward.

worth considering tbh, celtics putting together a package for simmons is prob too tho im not sure if theres one that both teams wld be interested in

Really not enjoying this era of finding out which nba players are anti-semites

I kinda think Rudy Gobert should stfu all things considered

for real. how is he not too embarrassed to say anything beyond platitudes?

he's an idiot

They should literally make him play on the court in a plastic bubble.

yes..yes

Yes plz

three weeks into that kyrie would be on Instagram live talking about how Christianity is fake and why won’t coach Jackson debate him

They’ve been using bol Bol at small forward in scrimmages, so there’s still some joy in the world to be found

Eric Bledsoe just tested positive

he hasn't been in orlando at all tbc

he must have got covid at the hair salon.

Pat Connoughton positive as well

please stay healthy Lopez bros

westbrook rejoining the team after like a week of covid recovery seems like not enough time?

seems like the bubble is working as intended

Bubble certainly seems to be working. From July 7-13, of 322 players tested daily, 2 positive results. From July 13-today, 346 players tested daily, zero positives. pic.twitter.com/reIgGqnDOG

G league and whatnot

Horford on team chemistry: We aren’t sharing vape pens any more, but edibles have helped us get through the first season of The Wire.
