NBA Thread 2019-20 Season

[Alsacs]

I can't believe the Celtics won that game last night. They looked awful in the first half. Without Brown too. Milwaukee's backcourt is going to be a weakness this year without Brogdon IMO. Should have kept him as the PG and dumped Bledsoe.

Hayward was garbage in the first half.
3rd quarter he and the team started scoring.
Then momentum just cared them through that game.
Bucks are going to be really good with the Korver addition he totally is the perfect player with Giannis driving the ball.
You are on Bledsoe. He was a nonfactor. The weakness of the Bucks last night was transition defense.
Celtics aren’t built right now to beat the Bucks in a best of 7 but they are basically the Portland of the East.
Team that can beat anyone in the regular season and win a playoff round but not a title contender.

Officials determinate Ben Simmons was functioning as a "peace maker" LOOLLLLLLLLL

 

[Newhouser]

Wth is embidd doing? All smiles and flexing and high fives and getting the crowd into it? Dudes about to be suspended probably 10-20 games.

He's a clown - great player but a truth serum poll of other players in the league would have him most hated I bet.

 

[Newhouser]

Simmons made KAT tap.

Simmons is going to get suspended too right?

I think they are actually friends off the court.

 

[jncuse]

Would Steven Adams be a good fit for the Celtics. Heard that he might not be part of Thinder long term plan.
Hayward + Pick(s)?

Cam Reddish is shooting 9-41 from the field so far this year. Who is surprised?

I remember someone on the board thought he was going to be better than Barrett and Zion lol. Then others doubled down when he went to the NBA.

 

[OrangeDW]

Jokic ate GOOD this summer. Jeez.

Not shocked at all.

They didn't need him. Dumb pick

Pretty early to make that assessment.

Gotta pick somebody.

Oh right good point. Could also swap it, take a flyer on a big or a foreign player, or drat a kid who underachieved at Duke and plays a position that you have Huerter at.

I mean, are you really trying to make my take the hot one, when you're giving up on the pick less than a tenth into the season, and barely any time into the pick's contract? Is that what we're doing here?

What now?

The backcourt may very well be the team's undoing, specifically with Matthews as a starter (though he's been really good so far this year), but we'll see. They should still be good enough for the #1 or #2 seed in the East and I'd much rather have Bledsoe at PG than Brogdon personally.

I do still wish the owners had simply signed Brogdon rather than trading him though.

 

[OrangeDW]

Jokic gave up 26 to Jahlil Okafor and they got blown out by the Pelicans?

Eat a salad, tubby.

And Rudy Gobert has basically been Nerlens Noel this year.

I’m taking aim at all these critical darlings. Dwight Howard looks good!

 

[Cusefan0307]

Jokic turning into Oliver Miller 2.0..

 

[shandeezy7]

Jokic turning into Oliver Miller 2.0..

Is that good or bad? Haha

This is why Zion terrifies me.

It's a near biological certainty that big men thicken over time.

Zion is probably as light as he'll ever be as a pro.

That's probably not great.

Yeah, I weighed 180 lbs when I graduated college and I'm 6'2. I workout everyday, eat healthy and 12 years later I'm 205. At Zion's size it is not unreasonable to think he will be over 300 lbs in 4-5 years.

I don't think it's going to take that long.
