NBA Thread 2019-20 Season

[OttoinGrotto]

Trying to envision a way the Heat win. Nunn isn’t bad. But Olynyk and Leonard up front isn’t likely to go well.

Jimmy Butler wills it.

Doc Rivers is taking the Philadelphia job.

Doc Rivers is taking the Philadelphia job.

Knick fan here. Really wish we had waited to hire a coach longer. Or this might be harsh once Doc became available part ways with Thibodeau.

Doc was never taking the Knicks job.
You guys got the best coach you could get.

Doc wants to coach a team that can be a playoff contender. He would have done TV if he didn’t get a job he didn’t think he could win at.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Yeah, I believe on draft night, Greg Anthony (maybe?) said he projected him to be a Hall of Famer... on draft night.

SI cover at 16. Back to back HS player of the year (and 3x Mr Ohio I think).

At one point was one of the top WRs in the country.

Crazy.

When he was a HS Jr., Danny Ainge said he would have been the #1 pick, that year.

While Lebron was in HS JB said if he doesn’t get hurt he will be a top 5 player of all time. Never forgot that.

U think so ? I wanted Jason Kidd. This is about getting players and he can deliver Giannis.

Kidd can’t coach. Thibs will force the players to play defense.
Knicks got the right coach.
You guys aren’t getting elite FAs until Dolan sells the team.
Brooklyn will get the FAs if it’s between Knicks and Nets until Dolan is gone.

Thibs will develop your talent and get them playing defense.

It always cracks me up to see people believe Kidd would in any way be a factor in Giannis’ potential FA decision.

absolutely would have gone over Yao or JWill.

I think you could argue he would have gone #1 in 2001 as well. That was the Kwame Brown pick.

He's not listed in the box score, which supposedly has all available players: Heat vs. Lakers - Box Score - September 30, 2020 - ESPN

It would be frustrating to see the 40 year streak of no former SU guys in the finals continue, even though Dion will get a ring no matter who wins.

Not in tonight's box score, either.

Lakers 124-114 Heat (Oct 2, 2020) Box Score - ESPN

Box score for the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat NBA game from October 2, 2020 on ESPN. Includes all points, rebounds and steals stats.

Without bam and dragic do heat even make the playoffs?

Doc wasn't taking the Knicks job. Thibs is a good coach.

 

[OrangeDW]

Miami has shot 17 FTs while the Lakers have only shot 10! This is some BS!!!

 

[cuseattle]

Snoop in the virtual house!

 

[SWC75]

Just saw some highlights on ESPN of Seattle's WNA team winning tonight. Breanna Stewart scored 35 points and had 15 rebounds. it showed her at 6-4 running the court, hitting form outside, driving to the basket, scoring inside, etc. etc. I realized what she is: the women's version of Anthony Davis: a big who can play the whole game.

 

[CuseRunner]

Thibs is a good coach.

I didn't want him. Wanted Jason Kidd to deliver The Greek Freak, or Coach Cal when all these upcoming former Kentucky guys become free agents.

I want players.

Yeah, yeah. That’s enough. Move along now.

 

[OrangeDW]

Yes! This!

Interesting how quickly the “Anthony Davis is not a winner. Only 1 playoff appearance” flipped to “Its not fair! The Lakers just get the superstars!”

Anthony Davis didn’t change. Organizations win! See Kevin Garnett!

Anthony Davis better be Finals MVP. He is why they are dominating.

He and Bron both have the numbers so far.

 

[SWC75]

He and Bron both have the numbers so far.

Lebron sets up Davis more than Davis sets up LeBron. Miami has no answer for either.
