2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

Holy shit....lol

Connor, Rousey, Tyson are the only fighters that I don't complain about ending my pay per view in record time.

I'm more disappointed if it goes to the 2nd round.

It was crazy....went to a bar with the friend who recently found out he got mouth cancer....gladly paid the $20 cover charge for both of us and we proceeded to have a great time.....

I think Cerrone took a dive.....he didn't even try to fight back once he hit the mat....

 

[DJ]

I thought Conor would win...but DAYUM.

Cowboy was hilarious after the fight when he was said something like "Damn, I got my ass kicked this fast?"

He needs to retire....

 

[DJ]

So Chandler Parsons has severe brain trauma.

Daaaaaaaaaaaamn.

Nah. Those shoulder strikes Conor got in were the beginning of the end. The commentators were saying they had never seen shoulder strikes that did that much damage. Even Cowboy said he'd never seen anything like that.

Then he followed it up with that kick that got Cowboy flush on the chin.

Dude was probably trying to figure out where he was and why that leprechaun was so mad at him.

 

[DJ]

My weekend is over.....hi ho.....hi ho......it's back to work I go.

 

[tducey]

To bad to hear that about Parsons. Sad to read about the injuries some of these players incur during their career.

Thoughts on All star returns?

I don't actually care about fan voting, it's a popularity contest.

I have no problem with Caruso finishing 4th. It's no different then when Zsa Zsa won the fan voting.

I think the West got it exactly right.

But, I agree with the folks on the jump.

The LeBron, Simmons, George, Butler paradox is ridiculous.

Are we listing guys on the ballot based on our eyes or based on how their teams list them, or a combination of both?

How is Jimmy , LeBron forwards. But, Simmons is a guard?

If we are going by the position their team lists them at, Paul George plays sg for the Clippers. Yet, is listed at SF.

If Jimmy was listed as a guard, he'd have been rightfully voted a starter over Kyrie Irving.

Honesty, Kyrie, George shouldn't even be eligible...imo

It is an all star game and the NBA is more reliant on guards than ever.

Take position completely out of the equation. 5 highest vote getters are the starters. If that means you
start 5 PGs, against 3 bigs, then great! Would make for some really interesting matchup problems in a game where no defense gets played anyway.

 

[dtgold88]

And how has that worked out for those teams?

Really not any differently than this year’s Warriors.

If we were comparing any teams this would matter. We aren't. Love can help more teams and can excel in more roles than Green could. why? Because Love is an overall better basketball player than Green.

Lmfao

But, now that we have the draft, it'd still work out fine when you add in the reserves.

The West likely would have still had the exact same fan voted starters.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Are these final returns?

One more day left of voting so I don't think it's final

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Free NBA League Pass until 1/26 in case anybody is interested

 

[Mecca]

Are these final returns?

Yes.

Voting ended yesterday or today.

Saw the results on the Jump. Fyi it's just the 50 % fan vote.

Still have 25 % apiece from players, media.

Trae Young is likely the only player in jeopardy of losing his slot as a starter.

Not because of his play, his numbers are outstanding.

But, his team stinks.

He'd be a reserve.

Well, he and Kyrie, for obvious reasons.

That is a good point.

I honestly forgot all about the draft.

Still though, let’s forget about position. Too many guys play multiple positions to make that a real thing in 2020.

It is silly. The Heat guys brought it up after the 1st vote. Everyone was confused why Jimmy was listed as a forward instead of Guard. He easily makes it as starter if he was correctly listed

 

[Mecca]

Wasn't sure if it was today or yesterday.

It's over, regardless.

Only thing in question is Luka or LeBron as captain's.

Mathematically, he could catch LeBron with that stupid one vote counts as two today campaign.

But, I doubt it.

Yep.

That was my only issue.

I totally agree with this. You already removed Center from the ballot so let's remove guard and forward as well
