THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[ill steelo]

wrong one

 

[nick.]

 

[T0INE]

Damn that's surprising OKC letting Donovan go.

 

[big j 33]

It has to signal they're not prepared to spend the money and want to just do a true rebuild. Trade CP, let the young guys develop, and not pay what Donovan wanted to get paid.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Yeah Bill Donavan is the exact type of retread I would stay away from.

Ty Lue should be more mad about Donovan getting another gig than Steve Nash.

 

[tomdiginson]

Please, Philly, go after Donovan. Keep him away from my Bulls.

 

[CP1708]

That's nonsense.
Donovan should have been coach of the year this year. He did more with less than anybody.

Nah Nick Nurse was the correct coach of the year.


I didn't say he was terrible he's just not good enough where I feel the need to give him a second shot. He's a solid coach but not a game changer.

If you look at the point differential OKC got pretty lucky this year. They had the point differential of a 41 win team pulled out a bunch of clutch wins out fo there butts. I credit that to CP3 not Billy Donovan.

 

[g-time]

OKC was looked at as a lotto team this year. They finished as the 5th seed in the west and pushed it to a game 7.

 

[pmatic]

I said it before the season that OKC's top six-seven players would be good if they were healthy and didn't get broken up.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

OKC should've never been looked at as a lotto team in the first place. All their starters were in the playoffs last season

 

[pmatic]

2021 tip off on MLK Day anyone? It'll be hard to bypass Christmas day, but that might not be enough recovery time for the players.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

2021 tip off on MLK Day anyone? It'll be hard to bypass Christmas day, but that might not be enough recovery time for the players.

Majority of players were there only a month and a half, like 8-15 games. I think December is fine

 

[whitemamba27]

season needed to end today if they wanted a chance at christmas

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

season needed to end today if they wanted a chance at christmas

Why? Majority of players are already gone. That's a 3 month break for the losers and at least 2 for finals teams. Then there's 8 teams that haven't played since March

 

[pmatic]

Let's just wait for what LeBron and Kawhi decide.

 

[whitemamba27]

finals not done until october. two months is not enough time both for the players and consumers.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

No team in the bubble will end up playing more than like 30 games after a 4 month layoff. Vast majority of all 30 teams played less than 15. I think they'll be fine

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

The 8 teams not invited to the Bubble will start their camps in less than a week (9/14-10/6)

They haven't played a real game since early March... if the season doesn't start until January it would almost be a full calendar year

That's pretty crazy

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

I see that bust Marvin Williams retired.

 

[B Sox]

Players had almost a 4 and a half month break between when COVID hit and the bubble began. A third of the league didn't even go to the bubble. Players of the teams that make deep playoff runs will still have another few months off. Only reason for the season to not start on Christmas Day is logistics of how/where games will be played.

 

[tramericanjr]

They should start back dec 15 . With training camp starting the Monday after thanksgiving ... only 4 teams won’t have 3 months of no games ....

 

[pmatic]

 

[P C H]

the 8 teams who weren't in the bubble are so damn screwed. It's going to be damn near a year off. Sheesh.
