THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[B Sox]

Bubble clearly shows that the NBA has too many teams. The amount of quality matchups daily puts a lot into perspective

Contraction is off the table so maybe trying to incentivize teams to win more?

Bubble games have been good. Competitive basketball leads you to think that there are too many teams? Huh?

This is why they're trying to have the midseason tournament and all that other bull****. Bandaids to cover up the real issue lmao. Season too long and perhaps a few too many teams

Think he means look at how the teams in the bubble are all better matchups being that the fat was cut off (bad teams at home)

Meh.

Too many teams is never something that has even remotely crossed my mind. Lots of talent in the league right now.

it’s good because There’s only 22 teams

level of play, daily matchups all due to it being 22 teams

this daily level of High level matchups is almost entirely due to the amount of teams in Orlando.

I thought about how maybe offer an incentive to the team with the best record in the bubble games that doesn't ultimately qualify for the playoffs. It makes them actually play for something, even if they have a slim-to-none shot.

 

[dmbrhs]

I should also add I've been mostly entertained by the games, even the non-marquee ones. Feels like guys really just wanted to play ball at a competitive level again.

Yeah it isn't realistic to think contraction but to his credit he already said that's off the table. I do acknowledge that the league definitely knows there's a potential issue with fans checking out during the regular season

The stoppage definitely put that issue on the back burner but nonetheless it was a big talking point this season

That's more of an issue with too many games and them not "meaning enough" IMO. Not too many teams.

Johnathon Isaac got hurt

Right, which is what I stated initially. Either way the point was "incentivizing wins"/having a more engaging product/competitive environment

 

[casper90403]

Damn, Toronto/Miami at 1030a, followed by Denver/OKC. Yep, I'm working until 1020a tomorrow.

Relegation inbound.

Too much money to lose. Will never happen.

The NBA did everything they could to have “ZION VS LEBRRRRON JAYYYYMES IN THE FIRST ROUND” only for Zion to etouffee himself during the hiatus. Along with N.O.restricting his minutes anyway.

The media is turn on Zion and NO already


William is fed up. “Picking up the pieces”

 

[HIM]

10 seconds left, up 3 opposing team’s ball. Who would you want guarding the star?

give me harden 10 times out of 10

 

[storm2006]

The lefty stat is meaningless to me (sorry southpaws) but I had no clue Jim was this high up on the All-time 3-pointer list

 

[Mark Antony]

Johnathon Isaac got hurt

Yo it's straight jokes when I randomly click the thread and it's several pages back and on a topic, then just jump to the last page and it's a whole new topic then Freeze pops up talking about the old ****.

 

[jumpmantwenty3]

is Zion injured? Dude is 20 years old - let the man play

 

[tay1]

They’re playing it cautious because they want him for the long term

 

[yobyellav]

And he looks tired after 3 games minutes.

 

[storm2006]

Rockets are the best team in the NBA and y’all will address them as such

72 hours into official bubble gameplay and Rockets fans decided to be THAT fanbase. This is going to be good.

 

[friscostylez]
