NBA Thread 2019-20 Season

Suns go 8-0 in the bubble. They need Portland to lose tonight in order to get into the play-in game. Regardless, they’ll have high expectations next season.

It's tough cuz the Suns are such a feel good story, but Portland is my adopted team in the restart. Was hoping Memphis would lose today, but knew there was no chance once Giannis was suspended.

As a bball fan, I was hoping to watch a Blazers-Suns playin game.

The thing that is crazy to me is Portland can either be the 8 or the 10 (if I have this right). no chance to be the 9, so win and in, or lose and totally out

Would have been the most interesting matchup by far.

Yup they have to win tonight, since Memphis and Phoenix both won.

Im telling you, there’s a lot of advantages to this bubble NBA. Playoff games all day? And I can watch all of them? And no 10:30 starts? This is unbelievable!

The nets need to go cold. The playoffs need Dame/Mccollum and Melo. Blazers are such a fun watch.

Ruh roh.

The Blazers do this like every game. As fun as they are to watch, the defense is just not nearly consistent enough to actually win a series against LA imo, barring an unbelievably insane run.

 

[Alsacs]

Blazers pick and roll defense is embarrassingly bad.

They are better off trying a zone.

 

[Alsacs]

Anthony Davis would average 50 if the Blazers got the 8 seed.
They can’t beat the Lakers with their D.
Phoenix is probably the wildcard.

I don't understand the love affair with Collins. He doesn't impress me at all. Defense is awful for sure. Nets offense despite being down half their team has been really impressive in the bubble.

 

[Orangezoo]

Blazers D plus Nets can't miss .. they will need a mini miracle to win this one.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Nobody ever could have predicted the suns going 8-0. Pretty unlucky for the blazers all things considered. Especially with Giannis suspended today too.

 

[OrangeDW]

Dame going all Jimmy Chitwood.

 

[Alsacs]

Lilliard is like a DH.
He uses all his energy on offense and scores with ease.
Him and Nurkic/Collins can’t defend a pick and roll to save their lives.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Horrendous defense

 

[OrangeDW]

Why the hell is Nurkic on the floor every time there’s a big rebound to be grabbed? Hit the squat rack, kid.

 

[Alsacs]

Jesus Trent you can try to defend.

 

[OrangeDW]

CJ having an awful second half.

 

[OrangeDW]

What was that 5th foul on Melo??

 

[NineOneSeven]

Offense is insane. Blazers cannot defensive rebound.

 

[NineOneSeven]

The ability of nba players is absolutely moronic.
