THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[QU!K]

No shots.

Just skimmed through the articles and nothing proves what you are saying lol (using tik tok will give Xi/China government your data). Try to get your news from other than US sources, especially anything regarding China.


Tik Tok has been doing their best to disassociate themselves with China (you might know the steps they have been taking). Don't think it's fair to imply theyre China's puppets.

TikTok sent US user data to China, lawsuit claims

The class action accuses TikTok of "surreptitiously" transferring data of American users to China.

My west tiers so far (some of these teams haven’t played each other)

LA teams
Dallas Houston (I believe it’s a winnable series for Dallas if they match up)
Denver Utah (not convinced Denver is better than Utah though they have yet to play this season)

If Jingles continues to shoot 50 percent from 3, Jazz are going to be tough. He made some 3s last night I couldn’t believe...

 

[B Sox]

anyone who thinks he’s a borderline all star

So a guy that is 4th in the league in assists, leads league in steals, and will probably be first team all defense can't be a borderline all-star?

We can take this to pm if you like. But once again, there's no evidence of using Tik Tok will give your data US government/Xi.

Do you have stock in tik tok?

Lol man I just hate misinformation and American propaganda.

He started the season off very poorly and it was probably because he was playing off the bench. Since the Conley injury, Ingles been playing with the same verve we're used to from him and in turn his shooting has taken an upswing finally

Conley really might have to come off the bench when he comes back

 

[T0INE]

The only tik tok I know of is that song by that gringy looking broad.

From CBC News

Democratic Sen. Senator Chuck Schumer and his Republican counterpart Tom Cotton sent the memo to the acting director of national intelligence, alleging TikTok's policies allow the app to collect wide-ranging data from users and that the firm is still required to follow Chinese law.

Experts say Chinese law forces companies to share intelligence with Beijing, even when the data is collected abroad.

From BBC News

The lawsuit filed in a Californian court last week claims TikTok "clandestinely... vacuumed up and transferred to servers in China vast quantities of private and personally-identifiable user data".

It alleges the data could be used to identify, profile and track users in the US "now and in the future".


The plaintiff is named as Misty Hong, a Californian-based university student. Ms Hong claims she downloaded the app this year but did not create an account.

Months later she alleges the firm had created an account for her, and "surreptitiously" took draft videos she had created but never intended to publish.

The data was sent to two servers in China, backed by Tencent and Alibaba.

The lawsuit also argues TikTok unfairly profits from "secret harvesting" of private data by using that data to derive "vast targeted-advertising revenues and profits".

TikTok did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Yo, Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson's podcast is ON POINT. Barnes is a natural! I can't wait until they get guests like kg, Iverson, artest etc.

conley - spida - jingles - bojan - gobert

bring royce and clarkson off the bench.

They gotta get Shaq to tell 2009 Suns stories that Barnes alludes to.

Told ya. Jinglin joe should start. He’s their best passer and P&R player. Having him not play with the first unit was always flawed to me. Good on Snyder realizing it. Conley at age 32 just might need to come off the pine, and finish with the starters if the lineups call for it.

Well I wonder who is going to be the MVP this year.

We already know Lukas out the running because they added KP, so who that leaves?

The only thing is defense. Royce has done an admirable job on all sorts of types of opponents

KP is John Collins and they have a mediocre coach, luka should still be eligible

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Not having a Kobe vs Lebron Final in 2009 is a travesty. Kobe in his 2nd prime vs early prime Lebron would've been epic. Bron got an early preview of Mamba Academy Training during that Redeem Team run.

Good to see Bron taking the difficult challenge of coming to Los Angeles and following in Kobe's Lakers footsteps to try and win a chip. It takes a special personality and once in a generation type talent to put on that purple and gold jersey and lead the Lakers. As long as Bron's body cooperates, I dont see why he wont succeed.

Why is he out of the running?

Long season and he’s putting up historic numbers

if Mavs finish top 3 I don’t see why he shouldn’t be considered

 

[MVP]

MVP is still Giannis' to lose by a pretty wide margin.

 

[keko jones]

Why is he out of the running?

That's what I hear expert analyst say.

As of now, if the season was to end, I actually think the MVP is his to lose with Freak a close second.
