NBA 2020-21 reg season 1st half thread

i recommend not using websites unless they look like this one

its true this is how sites should be

they dont even make websites anymore, just apps masquerading as sites

its true

someone here (i forget who! ums?) pointed me here a couple years ago when I was complaining about how stats sites are bad and terrible and it's been v good

not very committed?

How committed are the Blazers to improving their defense? Coach Terry Stotts brought in Jim Boylen, the former Chicago Bulls head coach, to consult with staff for three weeks. https://t.co/TrLQsUg95W

wow nice! this site is pretty clean and fast. thanks!

wait rozier scored 42 points tonight?

yes

that article about the blazers defense is really weird. they play their scheme well enough so with better personnel this year why not just give it a shot? the defense boylen used in chicago is gimmicky as hell and would never work in the playoffs.

also why is terry stotts' job always in danger? i don't think there's a ton of untapped potential in this team.

if anything stotts' teams have routinely overperformed

yes! like, who's going to do a better job with these guys?

he's been there longer than you'd think so I guess there's the classic "risk of losing the locker room" thing but the only dudes there with him most of the time are dame and cj and they're not gonna suddenly dip at this stage

yeah if dame and cj had a problem with the coach we would have known that by now

cp3-booker-bridges-cam johnson line up looking fast and cohesive tonight

Everything that happens tonight determines the season.

wild stuff!

OMG KINGS

What a win over the Nuggets. Hustle plays all over in OT. De'Aaron Fox with the block to save it and Buddy Hield with the tip-in to win it.

immediately running off the court is always one of my favorite celebrations

Even better with no fans there

The jazz make so much more sense with bojan playing

i think they have as good a shot as any team in the non LA tier

Love when the ball does unpredictable things around the hoop ring

brett brown trading mikael bridges for zhaire smith in his short tenure as acting GM turned out to be such an awful move lol

ive been using that hosted.stats.com page for years but sometimes it stops updating for a bit during games, it's not 100% reliable

suns crunch time 5 makes a lot of sense and they’re not even using crowder really at all. they look like a top 7 seed to me

i'm still having a hard time watching any of this without constantly thinking that 3/4 of these guys are gonna get covid

wont they all be vaccinated by the end of jan

When they tested all the players before the bubble, 10% had active infections. 10% had active infections before the start of the regular season. Pretty easy to see that they were all gonna get it anyway

Obi Toppin's movement defensively on the perimeter is rough pic.twitter.com/wtzEqfMQKN

idk i think he fits pretty well with the team they've got now

same insofar as a bunch of other players drafted around him are going to be much better

obi stumbling around like bambi on ice out there

even on offense he moves around like he has a 2x4 nailed to his back

"siri, create a player in nba2k named Skip Legday"

it's really as bad as advertised. the guy cannot move unless it's in a straight line.

same insofar as a bunch of other players drafted around him are going to be much better

yep

gotta thank the knicks for picking him and the suns for getting jalen smith bc the spurs got a real one in vassell

I’m rooting for Obi but the only way I see it working is if he’s a top 10 offensive player

yeah kinda feel like hes gotta be KAT-like in this way

his lateral movement is certainly not catlike haha

lolol
obi toppin more like slowly topplin

obi toppin more like oh (he) be (walking like his legs are) two pins

The nba must have cancelled their class for rookies on how to handle the media string together cliches and put fans to sleep.

lol that’s an amazing interview. I’ll play him in tennis for $100 tho
