Donyell Marshall was an amazing player sometimes

Like 2 month stretches where he was engaged and everything was clicking
This was a key game for cavs donyell! Totally forgot about this series https://youtu.be/UrFyYJ85bu0

Can't remember if it was on ESPN or The Ringer but I just read a retrospective of all the notable big men Lebron has played with, and it sort of singled out Donyell as an important player in LBJ's (and thus the league's) evolution in that he was an early big man who spaced out to the 3 point line. In my memory I think of him more as an oversized wing than a power forward, but I guess maybe that's why.
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Friday, 23 October 2020 16:11 (three years ago) link
donyell was just before his time.

he was also a spectacular college player back in the few minutes when the uconn huskies were cool and not irritating
― glengarry gary beers (voodoo chili), Friday, 23 October 2020 16:22 (three years ago) link
He was a year behind me in a nearby high school and I remember after I graduated hearing that people from my school were going to his games just to watch him play.

i often think of nature vs nuture w/the timberwolves too, are our draft picks bad because we pick bad players or is the player's development destroyed because he gets drafted by the timberwolves?

The NBA is targeting Dec. 22 for the start of the 2020-21 season and a 72-game campaign that finishes before the ‘21 Olympics, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) October 23, 2020

thats soon! wonder what their plan is re virus/bubble
Are they going to fly city-to-city or go back in the bubble? If they start in Dec and don't go back to the bubble, they'll have positive tests, schedule disruptions, and teams playing with depleted rosters. But first they'll need buy-in from the players' union on any plan, which I think is going to be a pretty divisive issue among players. Interesting times.

yah both, but also sometimes players dont want to be in a certain place
― Spottie, Friday, 23 October 2020 19:26 (three years ago) link
i don’t think anyone has the intention or desire to bubble again. it was expensive, the ratings were shit, the players don’t want to live in isolation for the entirety of an 82 game season, and you couldn’t have condensed schedules like you did this time around for a full season. the MLB and NFL unbubbled seasons are going to “work” (as in the seasons will be completed even with positive tests and wild schedule rearrangements) so i can’t come up with a reason why the NBA won’t follow suit

bill simmons has been on this for over a week, basically saying that they weren't confident enough about having fans for the 20-21 season to wait for march or something, and that preserving the 21-22 season and starting it on time became the biggest priority.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 23 October 2020 20:28 (three years ago) link
also that the ratings disaster convinced them that maybe the october-june schedule is actually the best window for the nba to live in
― call all destroyer, Friday, 23 October 2020 20:29 (three years ago) link
what was the theoretical problem with oct-june anyway? who cares if the nfl is on during the first half of the season
― ciderpress, Friday, 23 October 2020 20:33 (three years ago) link
i think there was a theory that starting at christmas meant you could dodge the NFL and then "own the summer" but no one watches tv in july and august, it's just a fact.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 23 October 2020 20:40 (three years ago) link
thing about the ratings disaster is all sports are down during the pandemic and weirdly in fact all tv is, i saw some chart and the nba was about in the middle as far as sports declines, tho the finals were way down but a lot of the has to do with the fact that it was over as soon as miami got all injured, starting on christmas and shortening the season is generally good tho imo
― lag∞n, Saturday, 24 October 2020 00:44 (three years ago) link
and it does allow them to still doge some nfl too, which i think having some overlap is fine maybe even desirable, but also have less overlap is good, and having fewer games is great

yeah they're certainly not alone in the ratings thing (apparently the world series is getting absolutely destroyed). mid-december to mid-june w/a shorter season would be ideal, except for an interminable offseason for those of us for whom ball is life.
