NBA Thread 2019-20 Season

[NineOneSeven]

Howard is a clown and James should be laid out by a bench guy on the Nuggets. Let’s get some physicality in there if the lakers want to puff their chests.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Here we go.

They were weak. Moving screens happen like 50 times a game.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

So shocking that the lakers are getting so many calls. Completely unexpected.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

 

[Knicks411]

Wow, is that him announcing he's signing with the Knicks?

Looks like that to me!!

 

[NineOneSeven]

Howard and McGee can be so aggressive with their 12 fouls. Really great luxury to have

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Yet another LeBron charge incorrectly called.

 

[MikeSU02]

Down 11 after that quarter isn’t terrible.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Officiating is horrific. David Stern and Tom Donaghy would be proud. 32 free throws and 20 fouls on the Nuggets lol.

 

[Arangeman]

It’s almost like the Lakers are the more physical and veteran team

 

[OrangeDW]

PSA: We ain’t the Clippers.

Playoff Rondo from behind the backboard

 

[djcon57]

if Howard plays like this, it’s a sweep

Would Michael Jordan bitch to the media about MVP voting?
No.
Would Magic Johnson bitch in the media about MVP voting?
No.

Would Kobe Bryant bitch in the media about MVP voting?
No.

They wanted to win championships and didn’t bitch publicly about the MVP voting.
They kept internal and used it to Motivate them.

Chit like LeBron complaining publicly about the MVP is why I can’t but root against him on the court anymore. Drop tears LeBron.
Giannis had a better record, better stats and didn’t have a first team all-NBA teammate. Also sorry the top of the East was just as good if not better than the West this year.

I don’t even know off hand how many MVPs Jordan, Magic won. I know they have 6 championships and 6 Finals MVPs for Jordan and 5 championships for Magic and Kobe.

Care about those LeBron.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Why is that allowed in the NBA but not any other league?

Would LeBron be a philanderer, degenerate gambler, punch teammates and be a dick at his HOF induction like MJ?
No.

Would LeBron be so irresponsible to cheat on his wife like Magic & put her in danger by not using a jimmy hat at the height of the AIDs crisis?
No

Would LeBron (allegedly) sexually attack a stranger in a hotel like Kobe?
No

People want politicians, athletes, etc., to give non-b.s. responses to questions and LeBron did. You don’t think he cares about winning? Please. His team has a better chance of winning the title this year than Giannis’.

I don’t know you, but I like you from what little I know of you from this forum. You love the NBA, which is a plus to me. So tired of supposed hoops fans who say they don’t watch the NBA — the highest level of, to me, the greatest sport on Earth.

The Lakers aren’t in the West finals without LBJ. His level of play 17 years into his career is sick. Celebrate, don’t hate. After all, we are all witnesses.

LeBron on MVP voting totals: 'It pissed me off'

FIBA allows it, too. Can You Score by Shooting Over the Backboard?

LeBron on MVP voting totals: 'It pissed me off'

Totally fair points. As I watch LeBron, I try to remember it's not him I'm actually mad at. He plays the game exactly as he's allowed to. The nba has been a star driven league for many years, but it feels like they've given all control to the stars, not just LeBron.

And enough can't be said about LeBron's character.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Thank you. Didn't know that.

 

[samspann1]

Larry was the first player I remember seeing make an over the backboard shot.


The shot was waived off. I'm not sure exactly when the rule was changed.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Dion Jr’s inherited the old man’s swagger.

 

[samspann1]

Absolutely horrific missed call leads to a 6-point swing in favor of Miami.

Like the way Celts are attacking tonight. Hayward looks good.
