NBA 2020-21 reg season 1st half thread

Gary Payton

payton and kg are guys who should be on the show or a show like the show

the glove and c webb had the best show no idea why they stopped it

What was so amazing about that is that it seemed like they just got thrown together on the show and discovered that compatibility. And nbatv works with Turner sports! Just move them over

and it would keep cwebb from calling games everyone wins

lol embiid giving up on 3 plays in a row after not getting calls

literally lying on the court like a baby

hes such a baby!

Lol, I've missed some of the game and based on your comments expected the Sixers to be down by 10.

Wolves down 15 in the 3rd

lots of talk in MN that Ryan Saunders might not make it through the week

feel like teams should not make decisions based on this season because it is not real

I think Rosas has been looking for an excuse to tell the old man hey we gave Flip's kid a shot, but I want to move to Vanterpool

xxp embiid is still effective as a baby and a bunch of sixers are playing great

the odds are decent that flip's kid is not a good coach but otoh the wolves sans towns might have the worst roster in the nba

embiid is obvs great but id feel pretty good about a full strength celtics vs philly in a playoff series even with the bottom of the celtics rotation being absolutely dire

simmons is kind of a non entity in docs offense theyre gonna have to figure something out (trade him for brad beal?)

furkan korkmaz is one of those euros who was drafted as a shooter but cant actually shoot

lol he literally hit a 3 as i hit submit

I agree it's unfair when I believe D-Lo and KAT have played a grand total of 5 or 6 NBA games together since the trade

but this was literally the only head coaching job in the league he would have been a candidate for

it would be interesting. seems like doc has cleaned up a lot of the foibles of the brett brown era and the roster makes more sense. but simmons seems less engaged than ever and he's supposed to be their second-best player.

xp w/goon re: simmons

i think it's time for everyone to come together and agree that d'angelo russell does absolutely nothing that contributes to winning basketball games

extremely weird behavior not sure ive seen this before

i loved that! really smart when guarding a smaller quasi-shooter like green.

it looks like how a penguin would play defense if we need a shorthand

nets lost to the cavs again

cavs are officially america's team

I've always liked Simmons a lot, but starting to come around that he's never going to be a star.

Agreed that Celtics with Tatum are a whole different thing. Simmons can only guard one of them.

also these were kembas second and third games of the season

and who knows maybe the celtics will do some sort of "trade" to "address their bench situation" haha

Lol, I totally forgot about Kemba!

cavs being fun and possibly good is a miracle

2nd 40pt game of the season for jaylen tho

Lol, I totally forgot about Kemba!

rude!

Though as I say this Simmons has 11pts in the 4th?

he most manufactured them via defense/fastbreak tho

which i mean they count and he is elite at both those things but still they gotta find something for him in the halfcourt

One thing that Doc has "fixed" is the Sixers have been much better in closing situations than they ever were under Brown.

yeah i mean imho he is a much better coach than brown who was bad

Seemed like Brown was p good at what his job was initially, which imo was making sure that all these promising young players’ spirits didn’t get permanently broken by playing on the most famous tankiest team of all time. But yeah once the games started to matter, seemed like they were a season or two late making the change.

CP has 14 assists at halftime

encouraging!

The Nets have allowed 134 points in the paint over their last 2 games (both against Cleveland).

That is their most allowed in any 2-game span over the last 25 seasons. (64 in Wednesday's game, 70 tonight), per @ESPNStatsInfo.

Anthony Edwards is shooting 35/27/74

From which I conclude Edwards should try to get to the line as often as possible.

you could really see the wolves screwing this up from 100 miles away....

sixers should trade simmons to the spurs, they will fix his jumper and he will realize his tru potential

also bahston needs rudolph gay

sorry no gays in boston
