2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

If he can start finishing around the basket a little more consistently he could really be something

he def seems like a back up guard or sixth man (at best) to me, but for a back up PG he's actually pretty athletic. if he can develop a 3 point shot i could see him being a vanvleet type player

there's like a negative chance that hunter doesn't turn into a really good defender. but his offensive game is really going to need to develop to justify trading up to pick him fourth.

cam reddish has been a complete disaster, he shouldn't be starting or perhaps even playing

nuggets getting rolled by the trio of brandon ingram, jhalil okafor and frank jackson... letting duke flourish should count as 2 losses

lollll agreed

smh

I am upset about the state of the nuggets. Bad vibes

the nuggs are not dank right now

curry injury required surgery. out at least 3 months damn.

at least 45 games uggggh

Mavs vs lakers tonight should be good

oof that's way on the high end for a hand injury, even with surgery

tankin

god dammit i should have put money on the under 2 weeks ago

im sure theyre just throwing a date way out there and they can play it any different type of way depending on how the season goes down. no splash bros in the 2019-2020 season is not something i was prepared for.

It gives the warriors time to find players, something they were too busy to do

paschal looks like a solid find so far

kyrie drama not gonna stop

Jaylen called him a bad leader pretty openly last year after a game lol https://t.co/cavt7j1hWN

yo it game 4 his the coach is already being passive aggressive in the media lmao

kd gonna request a trade this season

these nets graffiti unis are bizarre

bigtime graf guy turned designer (haze) did them and they are booty

a graffiti inspired uni could be pretty sweet but this is just thrown together. all the parts look like separate design elements.

nets have 13 turnovers thru 1 1/2 quarters.

deadndre jordan looks so washed

yeah he hasnt been good for a couple years

they paid him 44 million so he could hang out with his friends. maybe the warriors shouldve traded for him last year.

rj barrett looks like a player

ten rings on

tankin

Kerr on Draymond: “The one thing we won’t do is run him into the ground ... right now he’s kind of the lone survivor.”

Says Warriors will watch his workload and manage his minutes. Says Draymond will be a teacher for the younger players on the roster.

no other way to read that

It’s the right thing

ya no brainer

this reminds me a bit of when David Robinson went down that time for the Spurs and they had their one-off shitty year and landed Duncan.

def

julius randle looks real bad man

Ah back to watching harden miss step back 3 after step back 3, it’s like the nba never left

xp i haven't seen much knicks prior to tonight but right now he seems like the odd man out among their 28 power forwards.

Not a bad way for Thanasis Antetokounmpo to get his first NBA points...pic.twitter.com/ac1ry29Y0t

lol jayson tatum just won a game with some midrange bullshit

that was a 3!

well they changed it to a 2 but anyway

tatums —shooting game— seems to have matured this year but his driving is often still robotic and aimless, seems like the thing he needs to figure out is how to use the former to set up the latter

haha it was closer to the line than i initially thought.

he definitely was getting lost on some drives tonight. he's not strong enough to just power up when the defender stays in front of him.

tough shot but he got separation and it was pure

the reason he's so tough to evaluate is that when he looks good he looks like the smoothest most talented player on the planet

i still totally believe in him, like obvs u never know if a player will fulfill their potential but its def there imho

i agree in that the things he needs to get better at are easy to identify and mostly fixable. at 21 he still has a ton of time to add strength which is what i think will help him the most.
