NBA 2019-20 NBA Regular Season Thread II

[Cassano]

What an amazing 4th quarter. Best ASG ever. Kobe would've been proud of these guys competing hard.

 

[Know Your Enemy]

Hurts to end it like that. great game though

 

[Michelangelo]

Was cheering for missed free throws at the end

NBA continuing to make NHL look like a joke

that’s not hard to do honestly lol

That was one of the best ASG in a long time. Loved the intensity they were playing with in the fourth quarter.

Giannis in particular was great on the defensive end and wanted it badly.

There's often that one guy who sticks out and makes you wonder why he's out there and tonight that was Kemba. He was good earlier but by far the worst player on the floor in the fourth.

 

[The Night King]

Horrible Star Spangled Banner performance. She almost outdid Fergie.

These morons just won't sing the song the normal way. They want to make "statements" by having their own version.

That shit hurt my ears.

That's why I don't like the anthem being sung at sporting events at all. I really don't see the point.

I disagree.

the NBA ASG has become watered down.

I hated what they did. East vs West was a classic tradition.

team LeBron vs team blank feels manufactured

I'm pretty indifferent to East/West vs team captains picking their rosters, I don't think it matters that much. I just know this game was exciting.

They had to manufacture the format to make it an exciting game. It felt processed to me, not organic.

yawn.

go back to East/West

The West would crush the East. They had won 6 of the last 7 ASG prior to this new format. Guess who plays for the West? Yes, it's LeBron. He wins either way.

The talent disparity between both leagues is staggering. A team made up of just Clippers and Lakers could possibly even beat the East team by themselves.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

I wish MLB would abolish the AL NL format for the All Star game.

the West has been Riding the coattails of both LA teams This year and a hybrid of Warriors/Lakers/Spurs since 1999.

the West is not deep, it is top heavy and shallow.

Uhh what? The East currently have two playoff teams under .500. The West have none. Also, by my count, all of the East teams currently in a playoff spot have worst records playing against West teams than against teams in their own conference.

It's not just 2-3 teams in the West. It's many teams and it's been like this for a while now.

Time sure does fly by, happy birthday MJ

[tony d]

Jordan was 57 on Monday. Happy Birthday to him. The best ever in any of the major sports if you ask me.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Boogie may be back for the playoffs.

That’s not true. West all star team has Kawhi, Lebron, AD, Harden, Westbrook, Jokic, KAT, Doncic, George, CP3, Lillard, Mitchell and that’s not even mentioning young guys in Zion and Ja. East has Giannis, Middleton, Embiid, Simmons, Butler, Tatum, Beal, Young, Siakam, Lowry, and.....? Garbage after that.

 

[Voight]

 

[Gecklund]

I have not thought about any of these guys in years.

 

[HisIceness]

I must have missed Ellis joining the Pacers but apparently he was there for 2 seasons.

 

[Terry Yake]

ellis was a stud for a little while there

the warriors rise to the top began when they dealt him to the bucks

Yea, thats why the list is funny. Guys who have been irrelevant for years yet are still raking it in, Bobby Abreu style.

He had that stretch from 2007-2015 where he was averaging around 20 PPG each year and playing some big minutes.

Tough for him, he carried the Warriors between the Davis and Curry eras but is largely forgotten.
