Regular Degular Redux - 2019-20 NBA Season thread 2

watched Bulls Pacers ECF 1998 Gm 7 last night, and started Duke vs LSU from Feb '92. Take that, covid-19!!

Two of the most clutch plays in NBA history happened within 60 seconds of each other.

Tonight, we re-air the game in its entirety. Games 5 & 7 of the 2016 Finals on ESPN at 7 & 9:30 PM ET. pic.twitter.com/OCJpzdxV63

Remember when a 52-year old @WaltFrazier came out of retirement for the @nyknicks’ run to the 1997 NBA Playoffs?

Possibly the most-overlooked, stunning story of the 1990s. pic.twitter.com/2giMy3WmxJ

Walt 'Clyde' Frazier only made a fool of himself for even trying that.

lmao glasses was PISSED

haa

Lol, I’d never seen that clip before

this was an april fools thing right?

one assumes!

Haha got me for sure

what are you watching since we are bereft of hoops? i've been watching the ken burns jazz series - very worthwhile.

Nothing :(

All nba content makes me sad and I’ve given up on all my pods and everything.

However I will be buying this:

why would the Knicks do that?? not that Brooks was good but like, he was an active NBA player and *checks notes* not 52

that's even before Dolan right?

im watching ESPN... kd is playing derrick jones jr in 2k. idk guys. watching people play video games has never interested me.

its only good w/ high skill 1v1 stuff like competitive fighting games imo

i tuned in for a couple minutes and it looked like they were playing on a fairly low difficulty but i haven't played 2k in a million years so grain of salt

2k is more fun on the lower difficulty setting ime

i hate how sports video games get more and more realistic with each launch. give me NBA Jam / Street type stuff any day.

otm, but also franchise mode/roster updates. nba jam is on the apple store rn with like jeff green on the thunder.

So I guess if you die now you just automatically get to be in the HoF?

lol poor melo

Glen Taylor is low key one of the 10 worst nba owners ever. The Joe Smith contract fiasco alone...

this is a thing that exists

ESPN, the NBA and NBPA announced that Chris Paul, Trae Young and Tamika Catchings will headline the list of eight NBA and WNBA players and legends who will participate in the new NBA HORSE Challenge begining Sunday, April 12 at 7 pm ET.

I really cannot take the lack of sports. It was my main way of managing anxiety

and now they have taken our trades.......

The NBA and NBPA have agreed to extend the moratorium on transactions (agreements, trades, player/team options) indefinitely, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

Business remains paused.

Report: Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert relationship 'doesn't appear salvageable' https://t.co/iS4j597bDX

— The Crossover (@TheCrossover) April 10, 2020

I think they should trade mitchell if this is the case, he’s a lil overrated

rudy's trade value is probably compromised, too

I think they should trade mitchell if this is the case, he’s a lil overrated

i feel this way about gobert

mitchell still has some upside rudy we know who he is

hes the rona guy

cant miss him hes like 7-3 and thought the virus was funny

tbf Rudy’s absolute idiocy set off a chain reaction that caused the country to start shutting down and prob saved a lot of lives, a classic american tale

Sources confirm to ESPN that Donovan Mitchell's desire to get away from Rudy Gobert is "100% legit". Among other issues, Gobert would frequently kiss Mitchell on the lips at random times in the locker room. Many believe this is how Mitchell contracted the COVID-19 virus.

such a troll lol

rudy "no chill" gobert

gobert was giving off weird vibes when they were still playing. there has to be more to this.

yeah was thinking mitchell prob already did not like him
