2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

yeah theyve got the heat feistiness turned up and a some actually good players

I still can’t decide if Marcus smart is good

hes good

It’s just hard for me to believe in guards who play like rodman

hes been shooting well for a while, also a good playmaker, hes low-ish usage, like he cant be taking 16 shots on the reg he was out of control in that game, but hes legit dangerous on offense u have to mark him, and of course hes an all world defender and hustle man

and he wears robes to work

perhaps somewhat rodmanian there lol

hes got a freakin namaste pendant

it like everyones always talking about what if draymond learned to shoot decently was 6-3 and had a winning instead of repellent personality is how i break it down to an extend

draymond doesnt have a winning personality now?

not like winning basketball games like a good personality

he's been pretty great other than blowing up at KD which tbf was justified

also draymond is a better shooter than your boy

thats just whole career of course but marcus has improved his 3% each season which is actually really cool.

2015-16 draymond was incredible not sure why his shooting has fallen so far since. gotten worse at shooting every year since.

prob just a fluke year, maybe he bent his knees less

am i making this up or does draymond have ongoing shoulder issues? his hunched up jump shot causes him to shoot short line drives and it looks to me like a range of motion issue in his upper body.

not really

the nagging shoulder has always been a thing yeah. but he's never talked about it. i think its just a confidence thing for him

he has terrible shooting form and is a bad finisher idk

yeah he can be as confident as he wants but if he gets no lift or arc on the ball it's going to be tough.

don't forget *interior flexon adjustment wrt lwr pendulum swing mid motion

yeah draymond isn't a good shooter he just had a year

lmao

im def not claiming draymond was a good shooter. even the year he spiked it felt like a blip while it was happening. I did think after that year he could even it out to a league average area tho.

hes gotten literally the best looks in the nba his entire career.........

fultz steal into the and 1 jam to ice the game was sick.

It seems like Fultz will end up being a nice role player

hmm

Catch one dunk and get drug tested 🤣 #surprisesurprise

update: seeing a game in a suite is very good
wolves played very bad

I think the Spurs should blow it up. I don’t say this as a criticism of the organization it’s just the right year to do it

yeah it doesn’t seem like there’s really a plan there, which seems weird given the organization’s history

luka is crushing again. 19-4-4 on 6/8 shooting with 4 minutes to go in the first half

wonder if this might be pops swan song

im gonna see what the famously entertaining player jame harden is up to now

its crazy how westbrook is totally fine w just giving harden the ball and standing in the corner

otm x3 xxp

pop seems emotionally checked out this year. aldridge seems complacent. derozan is motivated but hasn't evolved his game at all. belinelli might the worst player in the nba this year.

spurs fans are not used to losing, but we can understand it if it's for the good of the future. which is why rooting for L's is hard, but necessary.

re: spurs front ofc, i think kawhi thing legit blindsided them. the best parts of the derozan trade were jakob poeltl and keldon johnson, but they talked themselves into demar because of his all-star pedigree. this is a more intense version of the richard jefferson years for the spurs.

i really do not understand how harden does what he does maybe hes magical or cursed

most players the other teams defense seems to affect them in some way but not harden

dame trying to guard him is not great

they attempt traping him and he just floats little perfect passes over them

russ is doing russ type stuff w harden on the bench

put jame back in

Zombie Pacers looking extremely good. It’s a shame Goga’s minutes will dwindle now Turner/Sabonis are back in ... Goga is already a great interior defender. Everyone looking a little better than expected; Warren continues to look like a + defender, and McConnell has looked like a really great pass-first pg for the 2nd team.

Difficult to know who gets rotation minutes once everybody is healthy (Dipo, Brogden, Lamb, Sumner out now, Turner and Sabonis just coming back), team is a total question mark until post all-star. Incredibly good sign they’d be a low playoff seed even w/o everyone. If the team is already felling defensively, who’ll be really cool to see what it looks like w/ everyone healthy (though can’t imahine Dipo will be 100% this season).

Underrated good vibes having Holiday Bros, they share a lot of minutes and def link up. Feel like most bro same-team combos tend to be forwards, funny when it’s two guards. Justin has been launching a ton of 3a off of Aaron drives, and Justin always gets it to Aaron in transition really quickly.

turned to celtics just in time to catch one of brother brads trademark hopeless second quarter lineups

celtics look pretty awful without hayward, dunno about your plan to get rid of him

I was thinking something just like this earlier today. I think part of the reason he is so polarizing is he dominates the game in a way that is alternately offensive and inscrutable to our accumulated understanding of the way superstars dominate. it’s easy to see why people hate him, and they’re not wrong, but at the same time you just have to respect the craft

well they wld get another guy(s), but yeah

they just lit up the suns at the end of the half, did not look so awful

talk about cursed it's this blazers season, they're really bad and hey guess what carmelo anthony (famous because of his hats) suits up tomorrow
