2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

Like I said what's happening with the Nets smacks of an organized effort and for that they get shit on from me.

Believe it's WCS that is having the kid

Yeah, if that's some organized effort to derail things...fuck them.

 

[tlance]

For someone with $1000 to spare...that wouldn't be a bad bet. They're the type of team that could get hot and do some damage.

Plus, aren't they already in Orlando? Thought I heard that.

Heck, I'd be tempted to put $100 on the Spurs just because of Pop. lol

Yeah, you might as well just give that $100.

I will put it to better use.

Kyrie made the organized effort to derail things. You want to be mad at somebody, he is the one.

His teammates that followed his lead, I don’t really care. But also why I will never bet on this Brooklyn team to win a title. They have poor leadership.

 

[trojanfan12]

I like Clips and Celtics with those odds

Yep. I found it interesting that almost every broadcaster/commentator that I've heard has it 1. Clips, 2. Lakers, 3. Bucks...

But Vegas has the Clippers third.

He'd be the main one, but guys following him would get some too for letting themselves be part of it.

If nothing else,they should think about the financial health of the league that has given them a lifestyle most can only dream of.

I heard that if the NBA doesn't re-start their season it will cost the league $900 million dollars and that it could take as much as 10 years to recover from that.

Yeah.

Vegas odds aren’t about what is likely to happen, but what will create the most action.

There are so many Laker fans out there, they will still probably get more action even with the lower payout. I believe that is why the odds are what they are.

Sharps going to be on the Clippers for sure though.

People say that. But Vegas odds are usually pretty darn close.

Sure.

because if they miss it by too much they lose a lot of money.

Don’t think for a second team popularity doesn’t play into odds though. It is why the Cowboys are like top 4 or 5 in Super Bowl odds this year. People will bet on them because they are popular.

1000 on the Raptors

US or Canadian?

 

[Wamu]

US or Canadian?

Nope. Pesos.

One of my favorite moments from working at the MGM grand sportsbook when I lived in the desert was that first Giants/Pats SB. The Pats were heavy favorites and all casinos in Lost Wages lost alotta money on that game. Loved it.

Buffalo wings today. Might not be dethawed until dinner time though. Listening to some Tom Petty right now. Went on a nice bicycle ride this morning. This is funny. So I'm on this side street and coming the other direction is this fella not paying attention to the road because he was texting. Well he smacked into the back of a parked car.

Cleveland Cavaliers to sign free agent Jordan Bell, convert two-way contract of Dean Wade to multi-year deal, sources say

@CitySushi contenders in 2021 now

Larenz Tate has barely aged

But his character in Power was quite unlikeable. Neither have anything to do with each other but I'm astonished they'd even consider making another show with that character

They gotta add Snell or McCaw first

 

[Stakesarehigh]

@Shanemansj13 ...totally unrelated to NBA but does this MLB season count as a service time year?

Curious if Detroit just goes all out with their prospects if not

That would be some seriously interesting baseball to watch from my perspective.

Well to put it in perspective, don't you need to play 51% of the season to qualify as a ROY. If a team thinks they have no chance, why not play their young players to give them experience. I guess it also depends on how many players back out bc of the virus as well.

True

Considering how bad their lineup is may as well give Greene and Torkelson their shots and make it a learning experience.

But the real show would be the pitchers

Gotta think Mize sees the field for sure.

So is all minor league baseball cancelled? If so that is a HUGE part in the decisions some of these teams will make.
