2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

“We’ve been very focused on making it more competitive, making it more exciting and making it fun,” Spruell said. “And we’ve had a great collaboration with the union. For this year’s game, we really focused on what new things we could do to make it a really competitive game where each quarter mattered in this case.”


hear me out, how about the best players from each conference who play a basketball game but they actually play hard

jfc

Play for a children's charity. Leukemia patients sitting with them on the benches. "Gee Timmy I'm sorry I didn't play hard enough for you to continue treatment. Be with God "

hear me out....30 foot rims

8ft rims

One side of the court is 9 foot, the other side is 11 foot

Sources: 2020 NBA All-Star reserves:

westbrook lol

Feel like this is the year booker shoulda made it. Westbrook is so bad lmao

yeah russ over book is a joke

Would argue him over CP too

jaylen has been better than jayson too tho its close but i like this outcome because itll just make jaylen that much more motivated to kill

the fact that jayson got SO much more consideration than jaylen is proof of dumb media narratives

psyched for yung sabonis

lol not great

the beautiful game

maybe dumping it to embiid every play isnt the worst idea if they dont get simmons on the fast break.

only problem w that is he gets tired pretty easy

hate to admit it, but I'm kinda curious to see what the Elam Ending looks like in a game

i guess its worth trying something new idk.

yeah it's not like the game can get any worse

Jokic just hit gobert with a quintuple pivot or something

Jokic is an unquestioned go-to guy and everything he does in those situations is so fucking weird. I love him so much

that was an incredible display in the 4th.

kings blowing out the clippers in la

PG is back just in time for kawhi to sit out a game...

oh no kawhi and george's first game back in several weeks, makes a lil more sense xp

godspeed

It’s crazy how good the Jazz are despite this awful season from Conley

i think the bojan and clarkson pieces were nice rotation adds that moved the needle for them a bit. despite his awful game last night d mitch is has taken a small jump as well.

booker not happy

"The NBA is different than the game that I fell in love with at the beginning of all the best players in the All-Star Game growing up. And now it's an entertainment, drama, political-filled league. But we're a part of it now. It pays well so I guess we should be quiet about it."

i usually kinda rme at snubs but this one feels more egregious than others in the past.

Not sure how Michael Porter Jr didn’t make the rising stars game

booker got hella snubbed but that quote is some serious “I hate drama” drama

that kyrie train o thought.

ah the halcyon days of mid 00s NBA

back when it was just a game!

there was definitely no internal politics or clout chasing or drama back then... just ballers playing for the love of the game, living in the moment, not a cellphone in sight

the nba tbf is insanely dramatic now

its true

The Rockets are so joyless. Not fun to watch.

very exciting, going to Portland for a long weekend, Sunday we got tickets to Blazers Heat!

this will be the first NBA game I've seen that didn't involve the timberwolves, feels like a positive step

welcome to the Possibility of Good Hoops, friend!

enjoy the town man!

Cool!

Zion caught it behind the backboard and still finished the alley-oop.

Unbelievable. pic.twitter.com/C2TbPGJr2Y

Didn't they just remeasure everyone's height? How is Ingram listed at 6'9"
