NBA 2019-20 NBA Regular Season Thread II

[Hadoop]

Really nice to see Kevin Love get the Arthur Ashe Award at last night's ESPYs. The pandemic has certainly brought mental health awareness to the forefront among other important issues, and this is something that has had an impact on more people than we realize.

I guess confederate flags is only thing we can tweet about this week. I missed the memo.

There is definitely a room for discussion on how most NBA coaches and executives are white, but not over the fact that somebody literally threatening a life of a black NASCAR driver.

There was stuff going on in the NBA community and not a tweet. But he's injected himself into NFL and Nascar situations. I can see right thru his bs.

What stuff?

1. I think you are mistaking white supremacy for racism.

2. I mean...what do you want Lebron to say? The dude is an hypocrite and rightfully got clowned for it.

• Sources: Ariza opts out of NBA restart to visit son
• Mavericks G Lee to miss restart with calf injury
• Sources: Wizards' Bertans to sit out NBA restart
• Giannis' brother signs with Spain's UCAM Murcia
• Griffin, Rose still part of Pistons' plans, GM says
• Raptors arrive in Florida, set to begin restart prep

So 3 players already but this one on a championship contender...

 

[Stylizer1]

I think most of the players who have all of a sudden contracted the virus just don't want to play.

Sources: Lakers eye JR Smith to replace Bradley

I'm sure Rich Paul is dangling this in front of them as a way to earn goodwill before the Davis contract talks.

 

[Avs_19]

Losing Bradley hurts but the Lakers will probably still be fine. KCP can start and they can give some more minutes to Caruso.

Having JaVale, Waiters, and JR on the same team in a bubble might be more of a concern that what happens on the court.

Coronavirus: Nuggets' Nikola Jokic, Kings' Buddy Hield among NBA players who tested positive

The list of NBA players who've tested positive so far already makes for an impressive lineup:

Reserves
Eric Bledsoe
Buddy Hield
Malcolm Brogdon
Marcus Smart
Spencer Dinwiddie
Harrison Barnes
Landry Shamet
Derrick Jones Jr.
Jabari Parker
Alex Len
DeAndre Jordan
Christian Wood

What's more this list is sure to grow in the coming days/weeks

I really hope everything goes according to plan and they can actually play. It's almost going to be March Madness style for the first two weeks with the amount of games that'll be on each day.

 

[NJDevs26]

I like they made the Jazz the first game back since they were at ground zero when the season was canceled, maybe it would have been too haunting to have them play OKC though since that was actually their would-be opponent.

LOL at the pelicans schedule. NBA not even hiding how hard they're trying to get zion into the playoffs

i'll be absolutely shocked if this thing even makes it to the playoffs though

Well, that didn't end up being the case now did it?

I remember a month or two ago I read a report saying "NBA thinking of ways to get Zion into the playoffs" or something like that. hence why some many West teams made it and they got rid of conferences, they will do everything possible to get him in some playoff action.

Looks like a noose to me.

Yup, one that was there since last October.

Report: Knicks Were LeBron James' 1st Choice in 2010, Meeting Was 'A Disaster'


I am sort of skeptical, but if true, my god.
