2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

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.

Why did the blazers get rid of so many guys

they got sick of their all-defense no-offense forwards so they replaced them with all-offense no-defense forwards.

What in the world happened to Wiggins? Any of you hoop experts know if he changed something dramatically? Was it coaching? I had high hopes for him, being Canadian and all, and I had given somewhere around two seasons ago.

him n kat r all riled up on juice

i think he's just had some good games i wouldn't read too much into it yet

little known fact andrew wiggins had an entire good season once

read some stuff that he's basically eliminated the bad long twos and is either trying to get in the pain or shooting a 3. from there other things are opening up. but yeah hes had good stretches before we're gonna need to see this for a while

when u take away the long twos guys are all oh well i guess ill drive then

p good story actually not that bad imo

Why did the blazers get rid of so many guys

I figure they were trying to avoid as much luxury tax as they could after paying Dame and CJ.

As we all know, small market teams are constantly trying to scrounge up overlooked or undervalued players on bargain contracts. So far, the Blazers look to have traded away or let walk the bulk of a WCF team and acquired a lot of flawed players who don't play well together. If Stotts can get this team into the playoffs he deserves COY.

Pete Rose never bet AGAINST his team, right?

i'll post this since it has Celtics content

The documents obtained by Outside the Lines, which reflect betting records from March through July 1986, show no evidence that Rose, who was a player-manager in 1986, bet against his team. They provide a vivid snapshot of how extensive Rose's betting life was in 1986:

• In the time covered in the notebook, from March through July, Rose bet on at least one MLB team on 30 different days. It's impossible to count the exact number of times he bet on baseball games because not every day's entries are legible.

• But on 21 of the days it's clear he bet on baseball, he gambled on the Reds, including on games in which he played.

• Most bets, regardless of sport, were about $2,000. The largest single bet was $5,500 on the Boston Celtics, a bet he lost.

• Rose bet heavily on college and professional basketball, losing $15,400 on one day in March. That came during his worst week of the four-month span, when he lost $25,500.

SOOOOO EXCITED

lucked into a free suite ticket with a group of ppl to Saturday's Wolves/Rockets game!

I will bear witness to the Wiggissance

bless

yeah iirc correctly rose started betting on baseball cause he was so bad at betting on other sports xp

have some shrimp for me matt

we eat so many shrimp (at the timberwolves game)

that MJ story just highlights what a beast he really was. if I'm 10 beers deep by the afternoon there's no way I'm doing any physical activity that night except maybe trying to brush my teeth

little known fact andrew wiggins had an entire good season once

i think he's had a good three week stretch b4.

he's currently the #20 player in our fantasy league ... seems pretty good to me

wiggins is in the middle of the hottest run of his career and has a PER of 22, which says a lot

does your fantasy league score defense

steals and blocks

that's defense baby

speaking of no d, i'm worried that teams won't want to trade for angelo russell's contract :(

if he can keep putting up 30 a night surrounded by the g league he’s tradeable.

i am really skeptical that he’s a good player but he’s an undeniable bucket getter.

we really need to see if he can figure out how to play if the ball isnt in his hands running pnr over and over. cos early returns were ugggly but he and curry really got no time together. hes doing enough to def get traded tho imo.

yeah i’m pretty confident that he can’t do much outside of the pick and roll

Russell clearly plays games intoxicated and guys like that can score a lot of points and have nice careers but you’re not winning playoff games with them

whoa back up there buddy

russell is destined for the wizards

Russell may be playing games intoxicated

can you.....say more about why you think this?

420 vibes man

Like weed ? I’d guess it’d have to be edibles. Not totally unbelievable imo

He did get busted for possession before

Tbf I’ve been told by a reliable source about a guy who played an NBA finals game high so it is possible to win playoff games presumably (they didn’t win that game tho)

jr smith would agree

Pdx signing melo

Bledsoe has probably played at least one game completely stoned

melo? for true? pdx already has a full card of hoisters
