THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[dman14]

bradley beal out here looting on a 24 win team
nba historians aren't going to look back and say, "oh what a travesty, he was snubbed for all nba third team or whatever"

 

[lovehateself]

Beal done got the Wiz into the bubble tourney
where they bout to leap frog into the 8th seed

Spoiler

 

[pmatic]

Beal's putrid defense plus lack of team success isn't going to help his case much. He's on my 3rd team though.

Does he have something in his contract where he gets a bonus if he makes All-NBA?

I think if he makes an All NBA team this season or next, he'll be eligible for the supermax.

 

[P C H]

Why would you put Beal over Trae

 

[MVP]

Wasn't Kemba 3rd team last year on a 9th place team in the East?

Yes, they also won 39 games.

 

[D StaXX]

These ****** got quotables for days and their sports references are solid too.

D StaXX was on it early

You already know. Sports references for DAYS
You can tell they played football. Off top these my favorites ones.
I be listening and they'll name drop a random QB and I chuckle everytime.

"Got a ***** in inglewood & a ***** in compton
Should've went to Georgia Tech, I got plenty options "

"In the Club with some demons, they ain't even search us
****** lying say they ball, ****** Kendrick Perkins"

"In the club breaking tables like the Dudley Boyz, got a real Chi *****, she from Illinois
Only ***** on my block, Uncle Elroy, I keep running through the sacks like the Waterboy"

LAC-HOU looking more and more likely for 1st rd one way or another.

 

[206to813]

Truth be told, NBA should’ve already switched out of that antiquated 2 G, 2 F, 1 C format for all NBA

Just name the top 5 killers for 1st team, 6-10 for 2nd team, and 11-15 for 3rd. We don’t need to fit them into positions and require a center on all 3 squads.

 

[amitt5504]

Would’ve love to see Simmons make the 3rd team but if Beal gets it over him I have no issue with that. Croc Rondo better be 1st team all defense tho

LAC-HOU looking more and more likely for 1st rd one way or another.

lakers bracket looking light
here comes the barbershop talk

 

[JD617]

Beal's on/off numbers are lowkey kinda ugly this season because of the defensive end. CP3's are still elite. I don't think anyone had OKC at 40-24 or anywhere close to that, really.

 

[Nipsey3000]

LAC-HOU looking more and more likely for 1st rd one way or another.

You say this over and over and over again and I know it's wishful thinking by Lakers fans. But truth is, rockets are closer to a second round matchup with the Lakers right now than they are a first round matchup with the Clippers...being that they're tied for 5th (record wise) as we speak...and a game out of 4th

Clippers could easily slip to 3rd with all their absences and Rockets will now be without their 3rd best player for the 8 games. They likely will be 6th or 7th even.

Drug test this man

Again wishful thinking. The Clippers have had absences all season and they're 2nd in the West. The only clipper as of now that will miss any time (2 games) is Lou Williams because of the 10 day quarantine. The Lakers have more players missing than the Clippers do.

But for some reason you think it's more likely that the nuggets will make up 3 games with 8 to play than it is for the rockets to improve a half a game? Ok

montrez still missing

He may not be in the bubble now, but there are no reports that he'll miss any time that I know of.

Trez ain't back in the bubble. And I don't think Shamet is playing either at least to start. Never mind how awful Kawhi has looked.

Nuggets are 2 games behind in the loss column with 8 to play and a h2h with LAC as well.

They will likely be at 22 losses as well after their 1st 2 games.

 

[MVP]

He may not be in the bubble now, but there are no reports that he'll miss any time that I know of.

There's a mandatory 4 day quarantine when coming back. He'll miss the 1st 2 games at minimum.

Report: Montrezl Harrell to miss season restart opener

Add Zubac said he ain't in shape cause he had the Rona, things looking shaky.

 

[Nipsey3000]

There's a mandatory 4 day quarantine when coming back. He'll miss the 1st 2 games at minimum.

Facts are the rockets are closer to being 4th than 7th. The Clippers are good enough to hold 2 even without trezz/Lou Williams for 2 games. Even if the Clippers drop to 3, so? all the rockets have to do is finish 4 or 5 and that's a done deal.

 

[Nipsey3000]

Never mind how awful Kawhi has looked.

Really? You reachin' now

 

[MVP]

Really? You reachin' now

Mans has shot 26% from the field and 22% from 3 in the scrimmages. He may need a reboot on the software.

[frshstunna]

The hoopers who ain't in the bubble making the most tangible changes, go figure (Maya, Kyrie)

Bron making moves too but it don’t got nothing to do with the bubble tho
