2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

how bad?

Jokic and Embiid shouldn’t take 3 pointers anymore

it's really weird watching the suns hang around with the lakers as if they are a regular good team

brow to the locker room

How many locker room visits for Davis this season. Feels like 5

got to be averaging one every other game yeah

I really want to see where the nuggets rank in floater attempts

cam johnson seems decent

hes got a smooth stroke for sure.

league pass alert suns v lakers suns up 2 w 3 min left. nvm lebron hit a 3

Kuzma hot

2 major takeaways from the first 15 mins of nuggs/hawks is 1) MPJ is good at offense and pretty bad at defense and 2) trae is hitting some 32 footers

a lot of it seems to be effort, just dying on screens and losing people in transition

I was watching the Blazers vs. Kings for a while and had to turn it off to avoid polluting my eyes with bad, bad, very bad hoopsing. Apart from Lillard and *maybe* McCollum, this Blazer team seems to have downgraded their roster shockingly during the off season. After making the WCF last season, I am kinda horrified at what Neil Olshey hath wrought. Lillard on court looks like a desperate man, caught in a living nightmare.

porter jr basically went from high school to the pros and has played like 10 competitive basketball games in the last 2 years, i wouldn't expect anything from him on defense for a few seasons

true

part of me sort of hoped that all that time off and presumably all the practice with professional coaches/teammates would make him a little more ready than you’d think but no

To me the thing about him is that he is HUGE and with the back injury he’s pretty upright. He actually does a pretty good job of challenging shots at the rim and likes to rebound. Long term he’s the power forward.

yeah for sure

He has the aura of a star player and pretty much every time he gets the ball a good shot happens

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis (shoulder and rib soreness) will not play tonight against the Golden State Warriors, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

he saw how paschall plays and wanted to save his shoulders

the spurs need to pounce.

The Magic have reportedly expressed in trading for DeMar DeRozan, per @KevinOConnorNBA.

i think gordon is more the need rn.

gordon has been horrendous so far, i think he might be injured

yeah he’s a distressed asset rn but he’s a guy who can play both forward positions and shoot threes respectably

the magic would have no reason to do that unless a pick or promising player (white?) in return was coming back as well

gordon is 24 and on a good team friendly contract

yeah and i think he can be good again and would fit well at sa. magic would be silly to trade bamba so early tho

if the magic are prioritizing staying in the low end of the playoffs they should be very motivated to trade gordon for derozan.

man kawhi really likes taking tough shots

if the magic are prioritizing staying in the low end of the playoffs they should be very motivated to trade gordon for derozan.

gordon seems like one of those guys who just doesnt have a feel for the game but yeah if u can get him for derozen why not

getting uncomfortable vibes from austin rivers getting his dad so mad he gets ejected on national tv

their relationship or lack thereof is documented so i support it.

he was really enjoying that shit lol

in other news, the spurs will be extending their days under .500 after losing tonight to the KAT and wigdog wolves. really hoping they embrace the tank this year, and soon. this is not fun to watch.

wiggins with 8 rebounds and 7 assists, that's genuinely shocking shit

i'm really glad trae is bring back the nutmeg. underrated move

v high on trae

wiggin promised he was gonna get better at basketball but he never said when

Did Kat juice in the off-season why is he trying to fight everyone now

lol did anyone else just see that bron possession

http://www.nba.com/article/2019/11/13/kristaps-porzingis-shots-in-paint-analysis

some good stats in here about why porzingis is bad at offense

Is Russell Westbrook on the Rockets just Eric Bledsoe

they shd just use westbrook as their fast break guy and harden as their halfcourt guy problem solved

Russ has had no gains in efficiency, somehow has the same amount of usage and the counting stats just aren’t there

They’re paying him 47m in 2023 bt

has anyone else on the team touched the ball besides those two?

are the blazers gonna go get Gallo or what.
