2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

Beasley is a career 38% shooter.

That's not mediocre.

Not league leading.

But, slightly above average, on less attempts.

@dtgold88 just says stuff.

And Beasley's hitting 53% of his 3's since getting traded to the Twolves.

Lakers or Denver it is.

Blazers....

High level basketball in OKC this afternoon... 2 good teams that are both playing well, and the game delivered...

... a healthy Celtics team is dangerous as hell.

Now you're just being hurtful.

Clippers East or we are the older Celtics West.

Morris, George, Kawhi vs Gordon, Brown, Tatum.

Smart, Kemba vs. Beverley, Lou.

I'd reason that Kanter can be your Trezl considering neither plays any defense. But, can get buckets and offensive boards.

We both have deficiencies at the 5. But, we can be very dangerous against anyone.

The Celtics won so the game didn't deliver for me

They are very similar teams.

The Clippers have Kawhi... that's the biggest difference.

Boston plays more consistent team defense... but that might be one of those regular season things where the Clippers can sleepwalk some before it matters but "flip da switch" come playoff time.

Thunder weren’t themselves most of the second half. No idea how many layups were missed but it was a lot. Hopefully Thunder can get back on track Tuesday against the Spurs.

Clippers are foolish to think that way.

Some of these bad loses could come back to haunt them.

They need to finish top 3...imo

Chris Kaman? If so didn't know about his mental health issues. That's nothing to make fun of. My bad. I always enjoy joking around on SportsHoopla. But certain topics I refuse to joke about. And that's one of them.

Not even to make fun of Buckalis? Because he has mental health issues. Not joking.

Unfortunately, downgrading the regular season a bit seems to be part of the Kawhi package at this point in his career.

 

[msgkings322]

Gotta say I was pleasantly surprised with Wiggins play yesterday. Only took one or two questionable shots and played with control. Also played pretty decent on defense. Give me some hope.

The quote here that they keep repeating on the radio (I think it was from a beat reporter) is that Wiggins played more defense in that game than DLo did all year here.

Do you remember when there was debate over who was better between Kuzma and Tatum?

Ummmm, errrrrr, various sounds of hesitation.

I knew it was the Kyrie factor when Jason plateaued last year.

But, damn...

He and Brown are better two way players than I gave them credit for having the potential to be.

Kuzma is Cedric Ceballos/Sharif Abdur Rahim.

"slightly above avg." not exactly far off from mediocre, is it?

Oh... I remember. I was just giving the room hell about it in another thread down forum.

In fairness, Tatum is out-playing my expectations as well. I figured his offense would grow... he's too skilled and talented for it not to.

But his defense is really showing me something this season. I never figured Tatum would be much of an individual defender, but he has blossomed on that end as well.

Separation starting

That 2 seed is gonna matter too... looks like it's gonna be the difference between playing Indy/Philly round 1 or playing Nets/Magic.
