Regular Degular Redux - 2019-20 NBA Season thread 2

He’s a great player but Sabonis went like 11th that year

Malik Beasley looks really good in Minnesota. I think they should just match whatever he gets offered.

don't remember that being the vibe at the time, that draft only had consensus 1 and 2 and then brown was in a pool of like 6 guys after that

the only other one of which seemed like a danny ainge guy at the time was kris dunn

everyone wanted them to pick kris dunn or buddy hield that year.

i wanted them to pick jamal murray lol

i liked brown........and bender

was strongly opposed to kris dunn

don't remember that being the vibe at the time, that draft only had consensus 1 and 2 and then brown was in a pool of like 6 guys after that

turned out to be by far the best player in that pool

zion is putting on a show

pels leapfrogged a couple teams and sitting in 9th now. according to Stan Van G they have the easiest record the rest of the way and the Grizz have the hardest.

the world needs zion in the playoffs

He was a top 3 pick!!!!

yes this is the exact thing that makes it underrated. there was no consensus on that pick at all and they made by far the best choice even tho it was considered a risky pick at the time.

yikes:

Indiana's Jeremy Lamb has suffered a torn ACL, torn meniscus and fracture in his left knee.

howwwwww

just want to give Jeremy Lamb some serious props here ... walked to the line right after the injury and netted both free throws. https://t.co/6JLl5bwL5p pic.twitter.com/kTeN4lqj1f

lamb's face while taking those shots is very "i've seen some things"

feel like the rule about the fouled player having to take the free throws should prob be changed

Russ said this fan was telling him to take the 3 because Gobert’s the best defender in the league.

Then this happened 😤

i love how russ' thin skin is what drives him

xps i hope the hawks become good bc trae is so fun

clippers are up on the griz by 30. there's ten minutes to go in the second quarter.

yikes

What’s going on with the Jazz

conley came back.

nba fumbling this one big time

FreeDawkins has officially been wiped of all NBA highlight videos on YouTube. He had already stopped uploading new ones, but now the classic games are gone too.

End of an era. Nobody else had the same quality, not even the NBA itself.#freedawkins

rip

i hope the NBA hired him in the background or something. i know they hired the house of highlights guy. they should be promoting these content creators or they're gonna go the way of baseball

quality tnt doubleheader tonight folks

it took them like 50 tries but they finally got a zion vs top team national game

+celtics blazers ilx bowl

no dame no watch

thinking the Celtics v Blazers w/o Dame will be ugly.

hoping for a zion vs lebron 'moment' tonight. we need some quality content a la iverson xrossing up jordan or w/e

did not realize dame was out bummer

curry back on monday, allegedly

OMG that would be so great

nice

sunday vs the wizards i think actually. but yessssss

Curry looked back in form putting up shots before the game on Sunday.

did not realize dame was out bummer

― lag∞n

been out since just before the all-star break and will prob be out for another couple weeks (they said 4-5 games but it's a groin injury and in a lost season why fuck around with that) (assuming they admit to themselves the season is down the drain which it is)

figured he was just sitting out the asg on some bs

prob got embarrassed by his rap performance and doesnt want to show his face again.

some white dude named matt thomas is out there hitting big 3s for the raptors. i have no idea how they keep finding guys.

level of intensity is absolutely nuts for a late feb game

Apparently Middleton is shooting 53% from midrange. Just a special season! You gotta love this excellence!

hes having an insane year

good game. giannis getting bottled up a bit here.

stan van is good for the most part but he and all these guys all have this weird fascination with saying "the analytics guys say that would be a bad shot" after a good shooter makes a wide open 12 footer

so kyle lowry just tried to go through the 5 hole? interesting choice.
