NBA Thread 2020-21 Season

[STEVEHOLT]

Out of Boston the package Houston wants from them is Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Romeo Langford, 2 first round picks and two pick swaps.

Lol okay.

If I’m Boston .. I’m not trading brown straight up for him ... maybe if Houston adds some first round picks

I would

 

[Alsacs]

Rockets first round pick is protected 1-4.
So if they just deactivated Harden and sucked they would need to get lucky In the lottery.

So they aren’t going to deactivate Harden for the season.

Free League Pass for the first week. Love checking out teams and players I otherwise wouldn’t see much of.

Gonna flip between Heat/Magic and Hornets/Cavs(intrigued by Ball) at 7:00.

If either are any good, I’ll stick with it.

Then want to see some of Hawks/Bulls and Pistons/TWolves at 8(Weaver! Grant! Intrigued by Killian Hayes), and then finally Carmelo and the Blazers against the Jazz at 10.

Fired up! So glad it’s back.

I'm still hoping for something crazy like the Bulls trading LaVine, Markkanen, etc. for Harden.

Or the Harden/Simmons swap so that we can finally see Simmons with his own team.

Pass. No thanks.

Bulls will trade some pieces at some point, but it'll be closer the the trade deadline. AK wants to really evaluate the roster he inherited. Harden doesn't seem like an AK guy. He values positional versatility, ball movement, and shooting.

 

[Day2]

New nickname for Harden, and it’s a syracusefan.com exclusive: Buffalo.

Because between the beard and the weight gain, he’s starting to look like one. And, just like our in-state rivals, he’s screwing up the season.

False alarm. What is this BS? Does NBA league pass not work on Roku anymore? I can’t watch any of the games on there. Only on my phone. What the hell?

Does Chris Webber ever shut up?
Is he trying to be like Bill Walton?

Worst analyst in bball.

Fun first quarter in Boston.

He’s not funny enough to be like Walton.

False alarm part 2. Now I can actually watch on Roku. Zero idea why I couldn’t for like the first hour of these games.

Doesn’t exactly give me the warm and fuzzies about ponying up $150 or $200 or whatever it is.

Westbrook is clowning Ben Simmons which is impressive Simmons can defend usually.

That is the same Russ that is on my Syracusefan.com fantasy team!

 

[MikeSU02]

Cavs are going to beat the Hornets.

I know it's the first game, but yikes.

LaMelo with a donut.

 

[Melancer46]

Giannis looks like out of shape garbage tonight. Slow, can't jump, can't dribble, and just making dumb decision after dumb decision.

 

[OrangeDW]

Trae Young has 27 points at halftime.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Boston is going to suck the first 2
Months so I believe a lot of teams that went deep into the bubble Miami, Lakers, Boston, Denver and teams with superstars who like to miss games Clippers and the Bucks will lose more games early.

Watching the Nets in preseason and yesterday Kyrie looks fresh and ready to play and Durant looks healthy.
They are probably going to challenge Milwaukee for the 1 seed and if Milwaukee doesn’t try hard I think Brooklyn will get it.
They look good and it has nothing to do with just last night.

The off-season was short, but the season was short and there was no travel during the bubble.

 

[Trueblue25]

Scary Terry

 

[MikeSU02]

Knicks lost but showed some heart for a bit.

Wiz/76ers is a great game.

 

[OrangeDW]

The fake crowd noise, while not being able to hear anything else: whistles, the ball hitting the rim, dunks, players yelling, sneakers squeaking...the whole feel is just off.

Why do they want us to hear fake crowd noise so badly? At the expense of everything else? Nah, they need to fix it.

 

[OrangeDW]

They play Freeway at Sixers games? That is awesome.

Yeah, definitely not right at all the arenas quite yet. Definitely off at some places.

They don't want you to hear how much swearing happens on NBA courts.

I really don’t understand what they’re going for? They want it to feel “normal” right? That’s the reason for the fake noise?

A lot of times, regular season crowds are quiet as hell anyways. No crowd noise but hearing everything else wouldn’t even feel that unusual.

 

[MikeSU02]

Wizards are going to be solid this year. If nothing else, they are fun to watch.
