2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

4 Marlins tested positive today. This is going to be a shit show all season long for MLB and NFL.

There are no fans there. They're not supposed to go through shootaround/normal pregame routine if they want to protest the anthem ? That's silly. You're acting like they came on the court, did nothing and walked off right before the anthem was played

There is nothing wrong with going through shootaround then leaving the court afterwards before the anthem is played.

Calling it a spectacle because they wanted to go through shootaround as they do before every single game is silly

I'd have to see the timing on it. If we are talking less than a minute prior to the anthem I have issues with that. If it's a decent ten minutes before then I can live with it

I watched some of the scrimage the other day...A few thoughts

1) Don't know who the announcers are but...Terrible announcers

2) With no crowd it kinda feels like a High School all star game for some reason

3) I couldn't watch more than a few minutes but i did see the heat lose which was funny

Lastly, some better announcers would go along way...And maybe a closer camera angle...Felt like i was in the cheap seats...

This should be fixed or nobody is going to watch this shit imho lol

Ultimately, it could cost them the title.

Not that 1 act by Lou necessarily, but I read the other day that the Clippers only had something like 10 guys in the bubble and available.

This was a team that some were wondering about not having enough time on the floor together before the shutdown.

Then the shutdown happens...now we have them in the bubble, they still don't have everyone together and now Lou can't practice with them for 10 days and will miss the first 2-3 games.

I'm curious what his teammates think about it. I can't imagine they're too happy with it.

Worth it lol

I would give him dabs. Imagine being stuck in Orlando and having the balls to fly out to a strip club in ATL...Although i guess i see your point...Why stick around in the first place, but still it's kinda funny imho

Sounds like they were in the locker room for at least a few minutes. Pretty clear in the video below that it wasn't less than a minute. Looked like 10+ minutes on the shoot around clock.

Can Hubie Brown commentate every game?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Ok yes they made it seem like they left while it was playing

 

[bksballer89]

I know it is just scrimmages but Memphis look like ass.

Does anyone have any idea who and how the remaining regular season games will be televised? I normally get every thunder game on fox sports okkahoma with the thunder broadcast crew. I’m assuming that is not happening now.

They left before the anthem so i don't have a problem with it.

Yeah, that wasn't clear in how ESPN initially reported it. I was pretty sure they left court before the anthem, but ESPN didn't report it that way initially. They just said the players left the court for the anthem and showed them walking off.

When the regular season and playoffs start, I think those are going to be on ESPN, TNT, ABC and NBATV.

4 of the Thunder 8 is scheduled to be on ESPN/NBA TV. Should also be available on the local channel

I just got confirmation that all regular season games will be broadcast locally as normal unless it’s a national broadcast.

Yep so basically once it isn't on ABC or TNT then you're good and at the moment no OKC games are. The final game is TBD though but yeah the first 7 you can see with the local commentators

Some of these pitch count restrictions are crazy

Been biting teams in the ass

what i missed

 

[Stakesarehigh]

what i missed

Nothing much just a lot of teams running pitchers at 70ish pitch counts or are already going the committee route with starters. I mean it's game three...could understand it more if it was 5.

Maybe we will see a lot of that with the expanded rosters.

 

[bksballer89]

Are we going to finish the season? Baseball that is.

4 Marlins with virus.

Seems like 2 additional Reds may have it as well

We played 3 games lol

What's wrong with leaving the court BEFORE the anthem?

People cry about players kneeling and now leaving the court before the anthem is a problem too?

They don’t even have to play the anthem.
