NBA 2019-2020 Thread

So Zion was wrecking the Spurs in the 4th and the Pels came back to take the lead. Then with 4 mins & change, Gentry takes Zion out, and the Spurs win. I understand trying to manage the minutes of a player who is coming off of an injury, but it gave the Spurs easy access to the paint at the crucial moment. Being a Pelicans fan is excruciating.

also the Kings roster years of Jason Williams, Bibby, Webber, Christie, Peja, Webber, Bobby Jackson and Divac are my favorite team of all-time.

the Horry shot and Webber going down on that alley-oop against the Mavs still haunt me.

I am their fan too at the time...
Too bad they lost in a tight series against the Lakers...considering that was my first NBA playoff series watching experience,I still rank it as my favorite and memorable series to me.

And I agree that Horry shot perhaps the big aspect that still haunts those Kings players (and their fans) until today. (Plus that I remember they take a big lead in the first half is more gut wretching to them).

Shame also The Kings never made the same impact the next year after that loss, I believe.

On the Bucks, I also think that besides Giannis, it seems nobody on the team can make an impact when most pressure times has require them to do so.

That is why I ask , despite their record, are they better than Lakers at the moment...

It is a shame if Giannis fails again this year, because I want to see him stay in Milwaukee long terms (hopefully he don't move to Golden State like KD did).haha

milwaukee has to bring in some pieces to help him out. a PG who makes better choices, and one of the big men on that team needs to step up, or they need to bring in someone who can make an impact in the paint. they have like 6 people on their roster at least 6'10. The big men aren't even intimidating

 

[MadVillainy]

Yeah Bucks are pretty good just with one superstar. Imagine if they get 2? Or 3?

 

[ComicChick]

if they could ship off Bledsoe, they could free up some money to throw at someone to fit better

Congratulations to LeBron, quite the achievement for more of a facilitator but it speaks to his longevity. I'm not the biggest fan but he dons the purple and gold now so I have to root for him in some sense but last night's game was problematic.

IMO, the Sixers are more dangerous than the Bucks in a potential Finals matchup IF Simmons can figure out how to be as effective with Joel on the floor as he is when he's not. More than any other team they can match LA's size, but their inconsistency won't get them past Milwaukee at this rate.

The troubling part, and I understand it's regular season, is how many times Danny Green wound up on Ben, Tobias or Horford. He's too small for any of those guys, in a Finals series I would hope LeBron or Kuzma takes the challenge on Ben the whole game. TBH, it won't work any other way...

I woke up this morning to hear this sad and devastating news.

I stunned, really... i just saw his tweet congratulating LeBron yesterday.

I never been a Kobe fan all these years I been watch NBA (I am more of KD and LeBron fan), but I grew to respect his game, his mentality, especially lately after he was retired. I saw a video where he and his adorable daughter practice together and it really pains my heart.

His words "The moment you give up is the moment you let someone else win" is really inspired me.

Deep condolences for his wife and family.
All NBA family and basketball fans are in mourn today.

#ThankYou&RestInPeace, Kobe
