NBA 2020-21 reg season 1st half thread

kd is moving and playing at 100% imo and let me add yikes

the nets are...good

is the google pandemic ad the one where a bunch of dead celebs are made to seem to be endorsing google because that is a crime

they could accomplish the same thing with a tupac hologram looking up his death date on google and saying "damn."

lmao

Middleton was just trash in the bubble, bubble created lots of illusions

durant looking scary good it’s true

Middleton said he didn’t touch a basketball in quarantine and now he’s back in business so I’m all in on it. Millsap looks a lot better out of the bubble too btw, maybe because he’s a dad.

Nets look great and they are fun to watch the vibes are strong so far

did he touch a ball before the 2019 east finals?

the not touching a ball thing was such an obvious lie lol

wes matthews has looked completely cooked to me for like 4 years and keeps getting signed and put on the floor by title contenders

think the nets might be the favs in the east

lmao jvg never change my man

yeah i agree if kd feels as good as he looks idk that's a real scary team

their roster makes a lot of sense but i’m curious to see how it goes when they hit some bumps. kyrie has been hitting deep threes like he’s steph, some of it is not sustainable and i think the chemistry there will be fragile. it’s not the most likable pair of superstars the world has ever conceived

i’m willing to die on the “nets will crash and burn in the second round of the playoffs” hill

i really hate the ridiculous touch fouls that ad manages to draw

Why would Khris Middleton lie about that

lol Giannis lied about that too during the quarantine but nobody believed him

do you think a professional basketball player “didn’t touch a basketball” for 3 months?

saying so is a good way to appropriately set expectations

do you think a professional basketball player “didn’t touch a basketball” for 3 months?

even if that’s true he played a good dozen games before the miami series i don’t think it matters either way. go look at his stats from game 5-6 of the 2019 ECF there’s no way of explaining that away. the guy has to shake the playoff pressure

haven’t been able to turn the nuggets game on but why are we losing by a lot

clippers are v good

Because not one of the games today was remotely close, why would Nuggs v Clips be any different?

I like these red nuggs jerseys in isolation but I’m not sure about the clash between these and the clippers jerseys

uh just flipped the game back on is there a reason kawhi is lying on the floor in a pool of blood?

took an elbow to the mouth from his teammate

probably busted a tooth out?

Really disappointed in Will Barton so far, looks healthy but defense is straight trash

Biden administration needs to do something about Trae Young’s hair

ja is so fuckin good

its true

really really dumb tech there tho

JJJ is injured and they have basically no one else who can score regularly (kyle anderson is having a good game tho).

nathan knight out of william and mary (!) scored 14 points in 9 minutes for the hawks tonight. pretty sure i had never heard of him before just now

russ putting up neverending triple-doubles in the void while suffering one trillion losses is some very real rolling the boulder stuff and I have to say i love it

uhh

Thomas Bryant really dunked on the wrong basket 😅 pic.twitter.com/b5AojbpZjZ

Harden def looks thiccccc. The hair doesn’t help, and the beard looks puffier than normal too

theyve got a dece roster

fun blazers rox ot. harden blows the final possession, but puts up 44 for a guy that supposedly wants out
