2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

[dtgold88]

And in those seasons all the teams played the same number of games. If you can make it work with 22 teams you can make it work with 30. Some teams just playing for different goals.
And what would be wrong with giving 8 teams and equal shot in the lottery as a consolation if they don't get to play? It's not even that huge a change with how it's been reworked. Bottom 8 odds range from 6% to 14% with the bottom 3 having the same odds. If you average the odds out it come to 10.9%, actually barely helps the Piston s who have a 10.5% shot at 5th worst.

Not sure I'd call it wrong, but what would be the reason to do this? seriously, are you lobbying for this if Detroit had the highest odds to win?

Nba need to announce the schedule. Need to put in my days off because i refuse to work with the heat playing in the afternoon

Thats a good point. Are they going to adjust the times in order to appease the West coast teams television market? Or will they just say fuck it, let's play East coast times?

 

[dtgold88]

glad I only have boys

Most days I cannot blame you. 1 of each....night and day.

My 11 1/2 year old girl is being a total bitch right now as I type this LOL

Just wait.

 

[dtgold88]

Yep. Teenage girls are the worst. Went through that with 3. Not sure how I survived.

Me, neither...1 is tough.

 

[dtgold88]

Same here. Not sure how old your sons are. Mine are 27 & 22. And both are outta the house.

Feel a little bad for my youngest son. He graduated from CU this year. But due to the virus the graduation ceremony was obviously cancelled.

sorry about your son (but congrats on his graduating)....Originally felt bad for the high school seniors around here, but they came up with an idea most seem to hope becomes permanent. I know I do with a senior next year.

I was so happy to be back home.

That has lessened considerably.

I know how you feel. lol

I used to have a job where I traveled some.

Every time I did, if it was for more than a couple of days, I couldn't wait to get home.

Within a couple of weeks or so, I'd start looking at my calendar to see when I was traveling again.

 

[dtgold88]

Don't get me wrong. Daughters are great and I love mine.

But those teenage years...

They're Daddy's girls until about 12.5 - 13. Then they go completely batshit crazy for about 5-6 years. There were many times I looked at my wife helplessly and asked..."What'd I say wrong this time?"

Then, starting about age 18ish you get your Daddy's girls back again. lol

Sounds about right. Mine is almost 19 now. Definitely trying to stay on her good side as she'll be my only chance to be taken care of when old and decrepit. The Boy might be too busy playing video games to be bothered with anything.

When I got to CO. ten years ago two of my nieces (twins) were just entering their teenage years. And living right across the street from them I've seen examples of what kinda drama goes along with teenage girls. Pretty sure that would have driven me crazy.

So often I just hear wife and daughter arguing in another room or the drama you mention and I just look at my son and say "thank God for you". He knows how easy he is, too.

I will have the opposite issue.

My 15 year old says we are going to live together 4EVER.

Really? As soon an mine was old enough to get a job she wanted to get the fuck out as soon as possible.

Good questions

Good questions

Since they are playing multiple games a day, do the East coast ones first

I have three children under the age of six. Two boys ages five & three and a girl age one. My wife still wants one more.

That's because they're so cute and sweet now. Don't do it. You and she are already outnumbered.

The baby is already 1?

Might as well knock that last one out so that they can grow up together.

It's tougher with a substantial gap.

I have always believed it's much easier to have 4 kids than 1.

At least they can entertain eachother.

If it's just one, you become the entertainment...lol

Do you know how much it sucks to sit in those little ass chairs for tea parties?

 

[Black Adam]

lol, right there with ya...

boy 1st, girl second, tube tying 3rd lol...

honestly i don't know WHAT i woulda done if i had more than one girl. the grey hairs she alone put on me was more than i woulda liked...

we wont have that "problem" either. My daughter keeps telling us when this pandemic is over we may never see her again.
