2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

yup. just had to boot it for like 6 months. sleeping with the boot was the worst. podiatrist told me a complete tear can heal on its own too which was/is mindblowing to me.

that is crazy how does it reattach

yeah wtf

the body does some crazy stuff

i think this is the first time i've caught the mavs in months when hey weren't wearing those awful sega jerseys

all the mavs unis are bad they are a decade+ years past needing a full overhaul

v low key pallet by both teams tonight

both these teams taking bad shots and missing

zinger pulled up for a contested 30+ footer with a brand new shot clock a min ago and i was like smh zinger who do you think you are man

ha i did exactly the same

luka airball

someone find a normal shot

feel like lukas form falls to crap when he steps back into 28 footers. he shoots the ball way too high it looks like a prayer

he needs to get that harden footwork so hes actually going towards the basket on the release even tho he stepped back

either that or just dont take 27ft stepbacks idk

shamet is a cool player

shamet big stuff here

he needs to get that harden footwork so hes actually going towards the basket on the release even tho he stepped back

def, would get dudes to foul him like harden too

sick luka layup

haha step bback rainbow right on cue

lol

JaChokel Green

lol man

i haven't viscerally rooted for a non-blazers team this much since idk maybe the spurs when they were playing miami and they did all the good passing

Luka Chokic

luka has had some bricks from the line tonight!

im gonna be honest here this has not been a beautifully played game

he had some weird FT yips on occasion last season too

pretty physical game but i figure the clippers personnel prob brings that out of opponents

clips are scrappy

i'm working on this emerging theory that the clips winning the championship would actually suck and most of us should be supporting any other outcome--would welcome the thoughts of the group.

mb its hard to judge the vibe of the team when they just havent been healthy all year

i like them in theory tho

bucks winning might be cool so we dont have to deal w a year of speculation as to whether giannis is gonna leave

lakers i dont think have enough guys tho mb they cn make a trade

clippers or lakers winning would be the worst. cheering for any other outcome but hoping for bucks the most.

evidence so far: no one would actually care if they won; if they do win it will be by playing an aesthetically displeasing style most of the time; them winning would reinforce the theory of pure mercenary teams; yeah steve ballmer is funny but does he actually deserve more pleasure in his life?

the lakers winning is also distasteful but at least a large population of people would be happy if the lakers won. generally i support people being happy.

not lakers fans tho

pelicans might win it

that would be great

i want the bucks to prove you can win a title in the modern nba if your best player cant shoot

a part of my theory is i was listening to some health of the nba stuff today (we haven't talked about how all of the "schedule reforms" have been shot down) and i started to think that a clippers championship is deeply unfriendly to casuals. at least those people can conceive of the lakers winning.

of the tru contenders, bucks are the best option for humanity. small market, havent won in forever, probably keeps giannis in milwaukee, and puts him in the top 20 all time convo.

w the lakers, u get lebron winning and shutting up kobe stans, probably solidifying some of his GOAT case, but then again fuck the lakers so idk

clippers would be wild as hell bc they were a punchline for so long and if kawhi wins back to back on different teams he also has to enter the top 20 conversation bc what the fuck

yeah the person who really benefits in that scenario is kawhi and that would also legitimize some regular season minimization that i don't love

the clips winning the championship would actually suck and most of us should be supporting any other outcome

clips chip would be... meh. but the lakers winning would be worse. much, much worse. to achieve their highest destiny the lakers must totally collapse amidst delectable quantities of messy drama.

reasonable argument imo cad clippers are mercenary and have no fans

otoh, the pellies taking the chip on the broad shoulders of zion would bring the world to ecstasy

cad otm on all accounts.

i want the nuggets more than the bbucks come to think of it

i've been clowning the nuggets for years but if that's what the fates want i will not stand in their way
