Regular Degular Redux - 2019-20 NBA Season thread 2

mb he will provoke giannis to take more jump shots, in a playoff series, vs the celtics

harden with the skee-lo

lol

the clippers are good

Meh

Early this season you guys were doubting D-Rose. Give the guy credit! He made it back into being a good NBA player!

right in the shooting pocket

this game is poorly played but entertaining

rockets rim protection is weirdly not great

harden making smart look like kyrie

Just a dominant half by Smart.

16 points, 5 assists, 4 steals, 2 rebs and was just all over the place.

not sure this houston smallball thing is really going to work

Marcus Smart doing it all for the @celtics in the 1st half!

guess what bros I covered the ICU with a guy from the brigham the night before last and turns out he holds the world record for most 3 point shots made in 24 hours?? a 10/10 dude too would kick it with again

how many

it was like 10 thousand something. he said he didn’t pee or eat the entire time just hoisted. respect

thats fn crazy yr arms wld be so tired

yah but sometimes a dude has got to hoist yknow

That’s wild

Harden pooped his big boy pants

thats fn crazy yr arms wld be so tired

yeah he said he was hitting 90% of his shots (NBA range from straight away) until he started to cramp and ended up at 80% for the day

hah that's wild.

kuzma looks like a door

This Zion-Kuzma matchup is not ideal for the Lakers... pic.twitter.com/He03i4ftLn

not really fair to kuz, that's well above his pay grade

he braced himself and zion just went through him like nothing lol

It’s plays like this that make u wonder if Zion has something against Kuzma pic.twitter.com/TLhCZy3XES

don't think the heat will be able to score enough in crunch time vs the bucks in a potential 1/4 series to win more than 2 games, but it will be an interesting match up for the bucks. if you were gonna go into a lab to create a giannis stopper you'd probably come out w/ a player who looks a lot like bam. plus the heat have guys like crowder, igou, butler who are less capable of stopping giannis 1 on 1 but at least won't be scared. and derrick jones jr has looked ok on him so far with his length, but over 7 games giannis would prob kill him in the post.

the heat have had a tougher time stopping middleton honestly. he played duncan robinson off the floor really quickly tonight which is a problem for the heat bcuz duncan really takes their offense to the next level especially at home where he's one of the most dangerous shooters in the league. but veteran wings are going to target him immediately in the playoffs and i don't think he can hold up on the defensive end.

I think we might have seen the last of the Ersanator tonight

after like 80 consecutive 100-point games the Bucks have failed to reach that threshold twice in a row

if middleton were to say regress to his mean this whole playoff situation could get a lot more interesting

celtics might end up kicking themselves for not UPGRADING THEIR TERRIBLE BENCH AT ALL AT THE TRADE DEADLINE

like you cant even be bothered to give up a second rounder for markieff morris, just do nothing at all thats nice

they're in a weird spot where they are trying to keep a bunch of developmental players on roster while also competing at a high level.

feel like competing at a high level is more important

yeah; beyond the reported offer for davis bertans who wasn't really available i struggled to find moves that made sense for them

giannis had a crazy weak game did the heat do anything special on D

wtf

i listened to a recap, sounds like more of a 2nd night of a back to back in miami thing than anything the heat did

dolan is a fucking psycho, my god
