2019-20 NBA Season Discussion

Harden makes basketball look so ridiculously easy. I don’t know how people refuse to be impressed by this guy. It blows my mind the way he moves, the way he’s so easily able to carve out space, keep the ball out of defender’s reach, and finish at the rim like it’s nothing despite not exploding off the ground.

You know that basketball is back, when the Sixers losing in a miserable fashion

The league is pretty lucky Kawhi left Toronto, because this team with Kawhi would be an all time great one.

The idea that they could have this current team + Kawhi and Green is pretty hilarious. How the **** do you score against that?

[MisterHibachi]

Rockets look really good. The break clearly benefited Harden and their small ball centres a lot.

[TheGOATRises007]

The Rockets are scary good.

I think they could knock out the Clippers or Lakers. Clippers more-so.

[Krodis]

Harden's ability to just casually reach in and knock balls lose is kind of crazy. He's such a weird defender, with huge strengths and huge weaknesses.

They were the team i was prolly most curious about

their home/road splits were insane one of the wildest i can remember in recent history

Their team just doesn't work. Horford is old and JRich always been overrated in Miami

Kind of rooting for the Spurs to grab that 8th seed in the West, just because it would be hilarious for them to continue their Playoff streak with the season they've had and everybody basically counting them out.

I'm intrigued to see how predictive these 8 bubble games wind up being compared to normal RS games.

Michael Porter Jr. is kind of breaking my brain right now. This dude is big as hell, but playing like a guard. Reminds me of KD, but definitely stronger and better defensively than KD was at 21. Jumper is silky smooth, moving very good offensively, can shoot off the dribble as well, quick release... One possession he's guarding Paul/SGA on the perimeter the next he's blocking shots under the rim...

If this dude's body holds up... yikes. The league is in trouble.

Jokic losing weight was a mistake. That thickness was good for his game and his conditioning issues were way overblown too

He's also a pretty capable and willing passer at such a young age, in relation to others of his archetype (Kobe, T-Mac, etc.) I firmly believe he'll be the piece to elevate the Nuggets to legit contender status.

I see more similarities to Durant. Kobe and T-Mac were simply quicker and had a better handle, which allowed them to break down defenses more effectively to access easier passing opportunities. Both Kobe and McGrady were averaging 5 apg by the time they were 21 years old... I can see MPJ developing into a good passer with experience but that's probably the part of his game i'm lowest on, tbh...

He really does remind me of a stronger Durant, but with better defensive abilities than Durant had at 21 years old. I don't think he's as good as Durant was at breaking down defense off the dribble, so he may be more limited on-ball in terms of what he can do, but he compensates for that by moving pretty good off-ball and he generally does seem good at not turning the ball over...

I'm kind of at the point where the team I want in the 8 seed least is the Pels. The Spurs keeping the streak alive would be fun. The Grizzlies and Suns are entertaining. The Blazers would get stomped but be most competitive of anyone. The Kings are done, and I'm just sort of worn out on NOLA.

but 2k cover athlete thicc boi. Also the fact that hes the cover sthlete for 2k21 next gen is kinda hilarious i feel no one has mentioned that, thats such a ridiculous honor lmao, since 2k got big other than region specifics hes recieving a bigger honor, since its the next gen console, than guys like curry, durant, and even jordan lmao, and its hardly like these guys dont care about it too from the nba world im sure 2k cover athlete for the first ps5 game is a megaflex, at least for those playing rn

I dont see how the kings are done, they have the second easiest schedule going forward. The grizzlies and the blazers both have ridiculous schedules, if they beat the pelicans and the spurs choke they can prolly squeeze in to 9th comfortably

The grizzlies could potentially go 0-8, their schedule is actually ridiculous.

Pels have the easiest schedule but they also choke alot, but it looks like zions getting his minutes up again

[GSP]

Blazers are the only team that has a chance of pushing it to 6 specially since Avery Bradley is out. Dame or Cj could go off if they struggle to guard penetration and their slashing into the perimeter for shots/kickouts

Spurs/Grizz/No all get swept. No is just pure Wwe storyline fare. They have no shot at all

Sorry. The Zion minutes thing is exhausting lol. Turns out all it took was AD getting traded for the Pels to get more attention on national TV games.

The Kings have just looked dreadful, the Magic looked like Dallas's offense against them though tbh they'd be fun too.
