2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

Wait. I was told that mid-first round guys couldn't be all-stars. You're supposed to tank.....nevermind.

Trae Young has 16 free throws. In the first half.

Basically if anyone gets within 2 yards of Young, they are calling a foul tonight. Pretty weak.

3 guys from that 2017 made the AS team tonight and I believe those guys are the only guys to make it to the AS team from that class so far.

Tatum, Mitchell, and Bam.

Mitchell and Bam went B2B at 13 and 14.

Knowing how to draft/having good scouts is more valuable than wasting picks in the top 5 or 10 due to poor scouts

 

[bksballer89]

The amount of bust in that top 10 though?

Ball (for where he was selected)
Josh Jackson
Nitikina
Dennis Smith

Nearly half of the top 10 are now considered bust for where they were selected

I'm about sick of this type of crying from players/coaches/agents every year when reserves are announced. If you're going to come out with this kind of statement then it should include the player that didn't deserve to be on the all star team ahead of your player.

 

[bksballer89]

Lmao this is comical. I would be embarrassed if im Beal. This amount of crying coming from his camp isn't a good look. Coaches reward winning over players putting up numbers on bad teams. This isn't new

 

[The Derski]

Beal should be an all star ahead of Bam. Who cares about position? Bam is going to throw down one wide open dunk and heat Fans will go nuts for about 10 seconds and that’s it. That’s the whole Bam all star experience.

 

[Duffman]

Did not expect the Nuggets to win tonight with 4 big players missing(well 3 big players and Plumlee) but I'm glad they were able to finish.

 

[msgkings322]

If true, happy for Ingram

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

The ‘game’ in itself is a meaningless exhibition, which is fine.
Thing is, Bam earned his right to be there. His play is a huge reason the Heat are in the position they are.
He’s played in every game since the start of LAST season.

You think its more fun to watch elite shooters shoot wide open uncontested shots vs watch the athleticism of man of Bams size on display?

If yes, why?

 

[Gman]

There's always a little controversy over AS selections... it's the nature of the beast, the last guy or two in isn't gonna be a huge leap over the last guy or two out...

... I don't see any scandal or anything this year...

Just whiny ass fans/players from trash ass teams getting mad that the nba coaches don't value losing. Someone sent me the list early last night and i had zero complaints

I largely agree.

When in doubt, reward winning.

In the end, winning is harder than stats.

He knows very litte about Bam. Dude is so stupid that he think all Bam does is dunk. Heat wouldn't have 32 wins and Bam wouldn't have made the game if that was all he did

Pretty easy to put up 27 or 28 ppg when your team is getting blown out and the opponent got end of bench guys in the game

 

[bksballer89]

This isn't rocket science lol. For the 100th time, coaches always valued winning when selecting reserves
