Regular Degular Redux - 2019-20 NBA Season thread 2

wow i cant believe people used to worship a dead basketball player thousands of years ago, also what is basketball, also what is people

Posted from my Samsung SINGULARITY™

preparing to watch nba

rusty lol

lou dort fan

so much shoe squeaking and clomping sounds in the broadcast. I think they're going to pump in crowd noise for the actual games.

seems like big moments in the big playoff games to come are gonna feel so weird. impossible to predict who this playing environment will favor.

its very not normal mb they should do some computer graphics fans

i think thats the plan for the games

it shd be the nba 2k fans and the home team controls them

celtics tv guys keep referring to the presuspended season as last year, they cant stop, they just talked about it then did it 30 seconds later

tremont water is just kinda good idk hes tiny but hes good

he got sec defensive player of the year twice...

Every time Simmons is trending on twitter I check to see if it's because he hit a three. Today it is.

i like tremont, he just seems to succeed wherever he goes

zion back in the bubb

gotta say this is some true knicks stuff and “I’m Lovin’ It”

Now they need to go get Lavine as rumored

yea lavine is a perfect future knick

Yes please ship him!

lavine for randle and a first plz

this seems like a bit of a mismatch in terms of where the knicks are as a team but for all of thibs flaws, the t wolves have made the playoffs once in the last 16 years and it's when thibs was coaching. if jimmy butler hadn't gotten hurt that year and tanked their seeding they may have even won a round. i also think the knicks prob need a coach who brings some inherent power into the building, bcuz putting an up and coming coach like fizdale in that situation is a recipe for disaster. if the worst that happens is thibs gets to runs some young players into the ground over the course of 5 years the knicks will prob at least make it back to the playoffs once or twice

that being said, their roster is bottom 3 in the league and their new GM is an agent, so like.......................

i saw they were interviewing other teams assistants and stuff tho and while i'm sure that's a normal information gathering process for a franchise on a macro level, putting an non-established coach in that franchise just isn't tenable imo. and once you start going thru free agent coaches thibs is as good a choice as any prob

this is an inside job by the CAA crew, it could work or not work (prob not) but that's what it is.

for sure. i think that gives it a better chance of success bcuz the front office and coaching staff won't be at odds and thus can't be leveraged against each other by ownership. we won't see leon rose giving a hasty press conference 10 games that leaves the coach out to dry. i mean, again, probably... lol. my doubts are with leon rose taking a team whose best current "assets" are rj barrett, mitchell robinson, kevin knox, and frank ntilikina and turning it into a competitive roster in the next 3 seasons.

just witnessed ben simmons easily score as the roll man in a pick and roll what a world

Thibodeau injures players. You just can’t have that

I guess you could contractually restrict him from playing guys more than 35 minutes

hes claimed hes not gonna do it anymore but idk

Also yeah they made the playoffs but it was by an inch. And it cost them Michael Porter jr lol

This guys shelf life is gonna be short if he doesn’t learn how to land

THERE’S NO NEED TO LAND LIKE THIS JA pic.twitter.com/9ksKk8csiJ

Nah, we're good. Simmons much better than Brown and Hayward not really moving the needle enough.

I would definitely do Horford for Hayward straight up, but I doubt Celts would be interested.

simmons is certainly not currently not better than brown and hayward, if you play him at center he prob would be except you have embiid, so you need to trade one of them, also this is an opportunity to get out from under that horford contract

wld be interested to see what philly can get for either of those guys

Sorry, I was confusing. I meant that Simmons is better than Brown straight up. Hayward might be better than Horford at this point, but not enough to make me want to trade Simmons.

I would probably trade Embiid before I traded Simmons. Simmons wants to be better and has worked on his game in subtle ways (not saying he doesn't need to work on some not so subtle things as well). Embiid is great, but is immature. I'm not sure he actually likes basketball.

yeah id trade embiid too

cld be a mega block buster

even with all his flaws i suspect a number of teams wld be willing to open the vault for him

I think I suggested trading Embiid for McCollum + pick(s) at the end of last year. Not sure I would do it at this point, but would be interesting.

think u cld do quite a bit better

I think that's what you told me then, lol. I don't like to propose greedy trades.

I really like McCollum. He's gotten better every year.
