THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[antidope]

11-5 while playing the 2nd toughest schedule and Kawhi/PG missing about 15 combined games. Not bad

5-11 second weakest schedule. Oh baby

 

[youngwolf]

Spurs got absolutely hosed in the Kawhi trade. Should've taken the Lakers' offer.

 

[P C H]

clips 11-5 w/PG and Kawhi only playing 2 games together, hardest schedule, and almost exclusively on defense. I’ll take it

offense shouldn’t stay this bad as PG and Kawhi get mite games under their belt

 

[ballinsam23]

At the time no one knew they were trading for the best player in the league.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

SOS has always been misleading to me for a bunch of reasons but Imma let yall cook

At the time no one knew they were trading for the best player in the league.

I'm not talking in retrospect. Even at the time of the trade, they got absolutely hosed. It'll only continue to look worse as time goes on, especially with what NOP is building.

You’re supposed to be an NY dude and you haven’t heard the legendary Nas interview?

Silver trying to ruin the league

Wateryewdoin Adam?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

What's the point of this

The play-in proposal is this: two four-team tournaments featuring the seventh, eighth, ninth, and 10th seeds in each conference. The seventh seed would host the eighth seed, with the winner of that single game earning the seventh spot, league sources said.

The ninth seed would host the 10th seed, with the winner of that game facing the loser of the 7-versus-8 matchup for the final playoff spot.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Will there be banners made for this ****

Those pre-knockout round games will be part of the regular season schedule. Six divisional winners -- based on home and away records in the group stage -- and teams with the next best two records would advance to a single-elimination knockout round, league sources said.

Those teams could each potentially compete in quarterfinals, semifinals and finals.

 

[Cashflow]

Adam Silver stealing all of Bill Simmons’ ideas is absolutely hilarious

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

They should be finding ways to shorten the season and instead they come up with this ********

There's an extremely limited possibility of a team playing a maximum of 83 games based on upon possible tournament and play-in scenarios, league sources said.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

If you're going to have re-seeding for the conference finals just allow higher seeded teams to select their opponents from round 1

 

[addict4sneakers]

How about we leave things the way they are?

 

[doscinco]

Ain’t no one trying to see a 10th seeded team that’s 15 games under in the playoffs

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

We going to start judging legacies on whether or not they have Regular Season Tournament MVP's

 

[doscinco]

Also, the FA Cup or other European domestic cups only work because they involve everyone, even semi-pro teams. If you’re going to do it, G-League teams need to be involved.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

One Playoff is enough, adding a second regular season "Playoff" where guys' bodies are already breaking down seems like a slight miscalculation

Mad Antz and Redclaws Szn

Would like to see Tacko and Bol Bol face their Varsity squads and destroy them for not having them on the active rosters

 

[Peep Game]

The NBA will eventually figure out that it’s not soccer
