2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

Trae Young looks ready to make the leap.

Don’t be shocked if the Hawks make the playoffs this year. Their roster is really well put together.

Picked them to make it so wont be shocked at all.

 

[dtgold88]

I have much less time to be around here this time of year, but good to see you haven't changed.

And to answer your question, yes, if the reason is because they are all good enough to earn minutes.

Yep...always here to help out the irrational.

You're welcome in advance.

 

[dtgold88]

Not necessarily.

On the Clippers bench, their 9-12 guys are probably about as good as a lot of teams 7-9 guys.

So, in their case it's a good thing.

But, if a teams 9-12 aren't any better than most teams 9-12 AND their about as good as their own teams 7-9...then it's a bad thing.

All I'm saying....as evidenced by the Heat 9-12 being no better than the Cavs, they fall into the "bad thing" area.

 

[dtgold88]

You're alarmed by this?

Probably shouldn't be. Not like he's never been beyond irrational before.

In general, I'm alarmed a guy who thinks he's a big NBA fan thinks it's a good thing his team's 9-12 players - who are not very good at all - being not much better than the 7-8 guys is a good thing

Shocking much of the convo here is on the Lakers, Clippers, Heat, Cs, Philly and Cavs.

Take your time and see if you can figure out why that might be.

i'll think about it...

In the meantime, i'm FAIRLY certain we were talking about WiggityWack...

 

[dtgold88]

This has got to be one of your dumbest prolonged arguments of all time, and that is saying a lot.
Who even heard of a guy like Silva?
Then, you watch him play and see he can make a difference.
Who other than Heat fans had heard of Nunn?

If you don't watch the Heat, and don't know anything about the Heat players, then its probably best to not offer your opinions as some type of fact.

Yeah...much smarter to take a definitive stance off of 1 game against an awful team.

 

[dtgold88]

Clippers at -1.5? Bet the HOUSE ON IT.

double secret reverse jinx?

 

[Hambombs]

Have rockets and clips tonight

We don't care about the cavs. It is irrelevant to the topic. You keep bringing up the Cavs. Unlike Cavs fans on here when it comes to Miami, i dont give a shit about the cavs except for the 3 or 4x Miami play them per season

Is that what it was from?
None of these guys played summer league, pre season, etc??

As far as awful, maybe they will end up being, but trust me, they were physical and competing hard.
If you think you are going to take a night off against Memphis, you'll find yourself in trouble if they continue to play like they did last night.
The real difference ended up being the Heat depth. We eventually just wore them down.

 

[Bolts]

Sorry @Bolts

The season is off to a terrific start.

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah...much smarter to take a definitive stance off of 1 game against an awful team.

As was said earlier, heat fans and writers been talking about the depth of this team way before last night. Nunn was playing really well in summer league with Herro. Preseason happened and the depth was shown once against there. This isn't something that came out of the blue last night

Anyone know who the top prospects are for the 2020 NBA draft? Asking for a friend.

Makes you a little high strung doesn't it? Earthquakes alarm me. But you do you.

 

[msgkings322]

double secret reverse jinx?

Not really, he's right. Very unlikely the Ws win vs this year's NBA champs

 

[bksballer89]

2 won challenges in the 1st quarter tonight

 

[Hambombs]

2 won challenges in the 1st quarter tonight

It’s so weird seeing that

 

[Hambombs]

Mike needs to shave lol

 

[bksballer89]

It’s so weird seeing that

Need to change the rule next season. Either allow 1 challenge per half or allow teams to keep challenges if they win their only challenge

Dude, you can plug in Barnes and Ariza to hold it down until Bagley returns.

With Zion out, I still have you in the hunt for 8th seed.
