2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

the Cavs came back from a 3-1 deficit against possibly the greatest team ever...well they were on their way to be, to end a long championship drought. The Raptors beat that same team without two of their 3 best players. Also, Lebron coming back to Cleveland to fulfill is promise to CLE has a long to do with the importance of that moment. If you cant see a difference...you are just a dumb fool

So is that Cavs championship worth any more than the Raptors?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

B2B tomorrow

I thought there was a rule against sitting out players for load management on National TV games?

Phoenix up 50-23 on GS...wtf

i’m not sure why he doesnt attempt 3’s when he looks like a sharpshooter in practice draining em. I will never understand it, ever

Yeah attempt something lol. You're not going to kill your team if you attempt 2 or 3 jump shots per game. What was the sense to put in the work if you had no intentions of using it when the games don't or even preseason for that sake?

I think that only if you're resting multiple players

That one Cavs championship is worth just as much as the Raptors championship. Nothing more, nothing less.

it may be more important to the people of Cleveland but to the rest of the world they’re exactly the same.

Lmfao

Sure.

I suppose that a Clippers chip, if it ever happens, will be worth the same too.

For some, LeBron included, winning with a perennial bottom feeder elevated him to MJ status.

That's how bad the Cavs were, before and after, LeBron.

The Raps chip was Historic because it was the first out of the U.S.

I kinda look at it like the Heats first Chip with Shaq joining D Wade.

Kawhi will always be the guy who put them over the top, like Shaq.

But, I'd imagine Lowry and Siakam will get the D Wade love.

The Cavs whole run was LeBron.

Not even close to the same thing and the Raptors were never a threat to the Cavs as long as they had King James.

Quit while you're behind.

The Wizards-Rockets scored 317 in a 4 quarter game? Were they playing some sort of modified rules game where defenses weren't allowed pased the top of the key?

 

[bksballer89]

Embiid goes on instagram to keep talking.

He like really need to mature at some point.

You're 25 turning 26 in a couple of months. Have to stop acting like a teenager eventually

So by your logic not all championships are officially equal, is that correct?

Not if the NBA approves it.

Best player in the NBA with a history of leg injuries.

3 games in 5 days.

That's fair enough. Wasn't sure what was going on.

27-1 Suns run.

Suns up 36-11 on the Warriors

monty williams ain't no joke and has been getting good run out of that team.

didn't recall you being soft, good to know.

Dubs could definitely use some D right now...

Brutal. I want to see what they look like with their THREE injured centers back, but if they still don't look good they need to tank a palooza. Keep Klay out all year, rest the high mileage vets, develop rookies, and get a lottery pick to re-group next year.

That's what the Spurs did, Sean Elliott was out all year, they tanked, got the #1 pick: Duncan

Warriors don't even need a Duncan level guy. A top ten pick will give them DEPTH to go with the 3 stars.

Even if they squeak into the playoffs they are obviously not winning anything. Why bother?

They made some good moves this offseason

Okay....

Let's try this a different way.

Success is just measured by Championships?

Doesn't matter if one team beats the dog Shit out of the other 90 % of the time?

The fact that one is 1 for 1 in the Finals and the other was 1 and 3, while sweeping the other team in question 2 years in a row, on the way to those 4 Finals appearances, makes them equal because they both only have 1 Chip during that time span?

That's what you are saying?

See, this is why people don't always take you seriously. You can't put your disdain for a few annoying Cavs fans aside to use logic.

You'd rather look stupid than admit the sun shines on a dog's ass for a brief moment in time.

You are ridiculous.

just glad to see Saric back on a team that appreciates him and knows how to use him.

 

[flyerhawk]

His hatred of Embiid is well established.

Shit, even Frank Kaminsky has played well.

Like the Clippers with Harrell, the Suns are going to regret not giving Oubre more than a 2 year deal.

Gonna cost more than double to keep them next time.

No, there is.

I'm not exactly clear on what a " case by case basis " means.

But, apparently, if you tell the NBA in advance, and have a legit reason, they will grant an exception.

Again: I have no idea what that means and it sounds shady. But, I will take it.

Kawhi doesn't know how to coast.

So, this is the only way to...preserve his health...
