THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[everysingletime]

but you can’t have games if players don’t play

bron already said he wouldn’t play. I’d imagine he’s far from the only one

Then let him forfeit his games

In Europe they've been doing football games in empty stadiums since the coronavirus spread, don't see why the nba can't do the same

Christian Wood been going crazy

Yeah, it’s not that simple.

They’re still under contract and getting paid to play. If the league and teams keep games going and establish that it’s safe for players, I don’t think the players can just opt out because no fans are in the stands.

another scoring PF that is
NY Knick bound

 

[yobyellav]

Y’all wilding if y’all think Bron ain’t go play if they decide to have games with no fans.

 

[DsLee]

I trust Klutch and Bron are developing a script now to back off the "not playing if fans aren't present" talk. Series A in Italy postponed their entire season a month because of this thing. Going to be interesting to see what develops after the Wednesday meeting.

 

[everysingletime]

Fan-less games, hand washing, should be more than enough. Arenas just got to take the L

 

[Kinfolk]

The season series between the Bucks and Lakers is 1-1 and LeBron played like trash the first game.

Whew!

Name another player where the analysis of his play on a night where he notched a triple double would be described as "trash". (EDIT: OK FINE JAMES HARDEN QUADRUPLE DOUBLE WITH 10 Turnovers, BUT I DIGRESS!)

Your little "First Take/ Undisputed" line more so describes your take than anyone campaigning for Lebron winning MVP this season.

Was it a signature Lebron performance? No.

Was he on fire? No.

But his line was literally 21 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. He only had two FT attempts because the refs were on some BS that night, but in an unusual circumstance for him, he made both.

Ok his +/- was -14 but you don't have to dig too deep into analytics to see why plus minus is misleading and arguably not the best gauge of a player's performance on a given night.

Also please ***** with that "The Bucks might win 70" Bull****.

Hasn’t Bron already tapped Rachel

Neutral court for the NBA finals will probably be in play due to the virus

 

[osh kosh bosh]

LeBron in 2017 and 2018: Forced to face the KD-Curry-Klay and pre-washed Draymond Warriors, aka the most stacked team of all time. All healthy. Not a scratch on them.
LeBron leaves the following season and suddenly KD and Klay go down and Draymond becomes a washed version of himself.

Yeah, it's LeBron who is the lucky one...

Not to mention that lucky set of circumstances back in 2015 when both Kyrie and Love got injured. He really won the lottery that year.

im talking specifically about 17-18 Cavs,

that depleted roster with no Kyrie getting taken to 7 by the Pacers and the Kyrie-less Celtics doesn't bode well for a series against the 19 Bucks, Raptors or Sixers.

Neutral or 50/50?

^ Look at this vid

this is literally a basketball GENIUS at work. my god. that was incredible

 

[ballinsam23]

Dont understand this move by the NBA. I have no idea what infectious disease specialists were consulted to remove only the media like this. As if the media is a high risk group.

Players are vulnerable anywhere they go. Hotels during away games, fans at the arenas, rookie Chik-Fil-A runs, etc.

These are some of the healthiest people on this planet. Not the elderly with a list of comorbidities.

 

[clyde the glide]

Why wouldn't the players wanna play without the fans?

 

[frink85]

NBA is headed to unforeseen territory with this coronas

no fan games are coming, players won’t play, games will be cancelled that won’t be able to be made up, etc

gonna be like Space Jam where the players scared to go into the locker room lol

 

[wavycrocket]

It is. Bron too smart for that . Wait til Doc understands this tho:




Just for you pleigh-boi

Putting way too much faith in doc rivers

^ Look at this vid

You can keep Lou benched and try the hard hedge & recover with Morris instead, but Mook is giving up straight line drives man with effort like that they’ll need to enter every 4th quarter with the lead.

Peep the 2nd scuffle. Even Kawhi sick of Beverlys extras.

Shoulda just sent somebody in to pop his ***.

Any word on fan decline so far? One thing I did notice....I went to Walmart on Saturday. **** was like a ghost town. It usually be jumping in there on Saturday afternoons.

Walmart? I thought you were a man of class and only went to Whole Foods and Trader Joes.
