Regular Degular Redux - 2019-20 NBA Season thread 2

Everyone liked the 'Regular Degular' in the first 2019-2020 thread, so I kept it. I hope y'all like the new digs and the post All Star break second half brings much joy in Zion. And elsewhere.

^ I screwed up the link. In the less pretty version it's: 2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

let's see some nba basketball

Until Thursday, we'll just have to bang our fists, or tin cups, on the tables and chant "Hoops!" rhythmically.

papa needs his degular

we got a thread......no hoops tho

WOJ: Guard Reggie Jackson has agreed to a contract buyout with the Detroit Pistons and plans to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers. Jackson gives the Clippers second unit a starting-level playmaker and scorer. Lakers had hoped to sign Jackson too, sources said.

clippers keep stocking up lol lakers

kind of a weird choice for him he'd have way more opportunities with the lakers. would probably be their starting pg

yeah

seems like they couldve gotten a 2nd for him a couple weeks back but maybe the injuries have scared teams off completely

Irving's injury is best described as a deterioration in the shoulder. When he discussed his return in late December, Irving acknowledged that he took a cortisone shot at the time in hopes of avoiding surgery. The reality is that he has been playing with on and off discomfort

meant for the genuine lolz thread sorry. but this is interesting:

.@ByJasonLloyd on @923TheFan just now says Andre Drummond, in two short weeks with #Cavs, had already made it clear that if Beilein was back, he was gone after this season and that this was a worse situation than in Detroit. Side note, he shares an agent with Kevin Love.

when are the games

tomorrow

between beilein and boylan weve had some incredible examples of new coaches completely and immediately alienating their teams

also they have almost the same name

maybe there was a mix up and they were coaching the wrong teams from what they prepared for

I need the games now

yeah wtf

i agree they shd start the games after all thats what its really about

guess this is why contenders didnt go for capela

Hawks say Clint Capela (right calcaneus contusion/plantar fasciitis) has begun participating in modified shooting while continuing non-impact conditioning and strength work as part of his rehabilitation.

— Chris Kirschner (@ChrisKirschner) February 19, 2020

final stretch of this season should be good. playoffs should be good and we deserve the pelicans getting the 8 seed.

otm zion needs to be in

ja too

gonna be real tough to get those two and luka all in damn

obv would take the young grizz too but give me zion over anyone for watching right now. nothing like it. maybe the rockets will go on a bad losing streak. dont really see any of the top 7 falling out. Dont really believe in the mavs yet but they have the 2nd best point differential in the west somehow.

mb the rockets and jazz shd have injuries just a thought

then port and nola cld be in

would be fine with any of the teams from 8-13 making it outside of the spurs sorry bison they are p unwatchable this season

ngl, beilein would've been a decent fit with the baby bulls.

boylen would be a great fit with the cavs cause he deserves to be fired.

i'm not convinced the bulls didn't have a mixup where they thought they were hiring back Jim Boylan.

tim duncan has a history of endorsing shitty ppl. a few years ago he publicly endorsed the city's DA who had made a bizarre anti-vax video and also said islamophobic shit, but duncan was like "vote for him, he's my friend." the whole of his endorsement was "bloomberg donated to VI after the hurricane." his criteria is "do i know them" and "are they nice to me"

Most professional athletes have lived very strange lives and are not especially reliable guides to real life situations, if you are not now and have never been a professional athlete yourself.

Pretty sweet that Justin Jackson's canvassing for Bernie in NV, tho.

thats dope

wow

Trae young balled

hawks/heat was a banger. the hawks are all of a sudden really deep and fun. this second half of the season should be enjoyable.

also, despite all of the evidence, i'm a cam reddish believer

I hate the rockets

amazing game by Bam

I really really want Gary Harris to remember how to shoot. It’s painful to watch rn.

yeah thats depressing, he was such an efficient shooter before

He has a really obvious hitch, feels like it’s one of those things that works your way into the shot and it never gets fixed

Good game of hoops here. Lakers getting all the calls

good game, good game. bad guys won.

jaylen brown underrated as one of the better draft picks in recent history

tatum was ballin

celtics got tired and stated isoing him at the top instead of running offense which was a mistake thoooo

he doesnt know how to deal w the trap yet

anthony davis was having trouble dealing w the celtics defensive pace and swarming he likes to be deliberate and they were not letting him

jaylen brown underrated as one of the better draft picks in recent history

lot of ppl thought they were reaching

He’s a great player but Sabonis went like 11th that year

Malik Beasley looks really good in Minnesota. I think they should just match whatever he gets offered.

don't remember that being the vibe at the time, that draft only had consensus 1 and 2 and then brown was in a pool of like 6 guys after that

the only other one of which seemed like a danny ainge guy at the time was kris dunn

everyone wanted them to pick kris dunn or buddy hield that year.

i wanted them to pick jamal murray lol

i liked brown........and bender

was strongly opposed to kris dunn

don't remember that being the vibe at the time, that draft only had consensus 1 and 2 and then brown was in a pool of like 6 guys after that

― ciderpress, Sunday, February 23, 2020 6:59 PM (twenty-five minutes ago) bookmarkflaglink

turned out to be by far the best player in that pool

zion is putting on a show

pels leapfrogged a couple teams and sitting in 9th now. according to Stan Van G they have the easiest record the rest of the way and the Grizz have the hardest.

the world needs zion in the playoffs

He was a top 3 pick!!!!
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, February 23, 2020 6:51 PM (yesterday)

yes this is the exact thing that makes it underrated. there was no consensus on that pick at all and they made by far the best choice even tho it was considered a risky pick at the time.

it took them like 50 tries but they finally got a zion vs top team national game

+celtics blazers ilx bowl

no dame no watch

thinking the Celtics v Blazers w/o Dame will be ugly.

hoping for a zion vs lebron 'moment' tonight. we need some quality content a la iverson xrossing up jordan or w/e

did not realize dame was out bummer

curry back on monday, allegedly

OMG that would be so great

nice

sunday vs the wizards i think actually. but yessssss

been out since just before the all-star break and will prob be out for another couple weeks (they said 4-5 games but it's a groin injury and in a lost season why fuck around with that) (assuming they admit to themselves the season is down the drain which it is)

prob got embarrassed by his rap performance and doesnt want to show his face again.

some white dude named matt thomas is out there hitting big 3s for the raptors. i have no idea how they keep finding guys.

good game. giannis getting bottled up a bit here.

stan van is good for the most part but he and all these guys all have this weird fascination with saying "the analytics guys say that would be a bad shot" after a good shooter makes a wide open 12 footer

so kyle lowry just tried to go through the 5 hole? interesting choice.

I think all 5 teams behind them fighting for that spot are better.

blazers/pacers has some interest to me, though dame not flying with the team dampens that somewhat

that moment when you step back and realize that the warriors are starting guys from the phoenix suns scrapheap

the warriors seem to think they can fix bad players and i have absolutely no idea why they think that

bcz bad players are cheap and when your season is already lost and you have a high payroll in spite of that dismal outloook, it costs very little to rummage around in the scrapheap to see what kind of a bargain you might turn up. you can toss aside the duds next season.

This dubs season is truly bizarre I don’t even know what to think of it. It’s just like basically all the dudes that played in the finals aren’t even playing this year. Steph klay Durant iggy (until last week) boogie Livingston bogut jarebko... it’s just like poof they were all gone.

Been a while since it’s been said but.... Lebron James

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5y_cl3WIO6A/hqdefault.jpg

don't think the heat will be able to score enough in crunch time vs the bucks in a potential 1/4 series to win more than 2 games, but it will be an interesting match up for the bucks. if you were gonna go into a lab to create a giannis stopper you'd probably come out w/ a player who looks a lot like bam. plus the heat have guys like crowder, igou, butler who are less capable of stopping giannis 1 on 1 but at least won't be scared. and derrick jones jr has looked ok on him so far with his length, but over 7 games giannis would prob kill him in the post.

the heat have had a tougher time stopping middleton honestly. he played duncan robinson off the floor really quickly tonight which is a problem for the heat bcuz duncan really takes their offense to the next level especially at home where he's one of the most dangerous shooters in the league. but veteran wings are going to target him immediately in the playoffs and i don't think he can hold up on the defensive end.

I think we might have seen the last of the Ersanator tonight

after like 80 consecutive 100-point games the Bucks have failed to reach that threshold twice in a row

if middleton were to say regress to his mean this whole playoff situation could get a lot more interesting

celtics might end up kicking themselves for not UPGRADING THEIR TERRIBLE BENCH AT ALL AT THE TRADE DEADLINE

like you cant even be bothered to give up a second rounder for markieff morris, just do nothing at all thats nice

they're in a weird spot where they are trying to keep a bunch of developmental players on roster while also competing at a high level.

he was kind of out of it but the heat have stuck bad games on him before by adopting a strategy of walling him off from the basket at all costs. there were tons of possessions last night where he was surrounded by 3-4 guys in the paint and either passed or forced up shots. there were also open jumpers and stuff he just flat missed that will go in on other nights. and as i posted last night i think bam might be the single best defender on giannis of any team in the east but it was def a team effort.

it was probably a preview of what the playoffs are going to look like for the bucks. the math on the game was actually kind of crazy... the heat made 18 threes to the bucks 7, a difference of 33 points but the heat only won by 16. it's basically impossible to score on the bucks at the basket, and in games where middelton and others are hitting threes they're just going to be really tough to beat. but there are going to be games (like last night) where teams execute the game plan on giannis well and middleton, wes matthews, bledsoe, george hill, divencenzo etc are gonna have to make threes.

how about Bagdron Bogdanovich or Bogdin Brogdinovich?

lonzo ball's shot looking like a million times better. it's not ever going to be amazing but his current form is working.

37% on 6+ attempts per game is good. Kinda bad he’s 40% overall tho.

happy for him, he looks awesome tonight

with his passing and rebounding combined w/ the way the game is played nowadays if he can hit 37% of his threes it prob doesn't matter if he can score inside the arch or not

these versions of ingram and lonzo paired w/ zion actually feels like it could be something longterm

7/9 threes tonight for zo

zinger can shoot too

this is a fun game some of our most promising young players

Love it

Zinger in the mid post is a disaster and they still go to it too often

thye gottta have at least 25 guys on that roster at this point

what do they even think theyre gonna do with all those guys

i totally forgot joakim played in the nba last year

teams are gonna put him thru the wringer every possession in the playoffs but this is eye opening

https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2020/3/6/21166068/duncan-robinson-miami-heat-three-point-shooting-impact-stats-highlights

Robinson ranks in the 93rd percentile off spot-ups
He ranks in the 96th percentile off hand-offs
He ranks in the 93rd percentile in transition
He ranks in the 98th percentile off cuts
He ranks in the 84th percentile on “guarded” catch-and-shoot attempts and in the 96th percentile on unguarded attempts

All this for a player who averages 1.1 field-goal attempts from two-point range per game. The NBA has seen a lot of great shooting specialists come through the ranks over the last two decades, but none of them have ever been quite as good at it as Robinson already is.

pic.twitter.com/Om0Ki4mUAX

— Austin (@ChefTrillie) February 29, 2020

hm

[from a different article]

He’s on pace for 298 three-pointers, which would be fifth-most in a season in NBA history, behind three seasons by Steph Curry (who hit a record 402 in 2016-17) and one season by James Harden. With Harden having made 261 threes this season and Buddy Hield 235, Robinson realistically could finish ranked sixth or seventh all-time for threes in a single season.

But accuracy is where Robinson gets a clear edge over any 3-point shooter other than Curry, if comparing single seasons historically.

He entered Friday shooting 44.6 percent on threes, by far the best for any of the five players who have hit at least 200 threes this season (Harden, Hield, Damian Lillard, Devonte’ Graham).

Only one player with 250 or more threes in a season (a threshold Robinson should surpass) has ever shot threes as well as Robinson has this season: Curry, who shot 45.4 percent during that season he made a record 402 threes. Three times, Curry has made more than 250 threes in a season while shooting 44 percent or better.

As perspective, Golden State’s Klay Thompson twice has hit 250 or more threes in a season (268 and 276) and converted at a 41.4 and 42.5 percent clip in those seasons. And Harden has shot between 34.7 and 36.7 percent during each of the four seasons that he has hit 250 or more threes, including 36.8 when he sank 378 threes last season.

In fact, only three players in history have done what Robinson is doing from a volume/percentage standpoint: Make at least 200 threes while converting at a rate of 44.6 percent or higher: Curry, JJ Redick (200 for 421, 47.5 percent in 2016-17) and Kyle Korver (221 for 449, 49.2 percent in 2014-15). And Robinson will hit far more threes this season than Redick or Korver did their seasons.

the shot versatility is what's really special. lots of guys can spot up but to be able to get it up off all kinds of actions makes him so much harder to guard.

The Nets are parting ways with head coach Kenny Atkinson.

— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) March 7, 2020

wtf

between kyrie’s comments recently and now this it seems like the nets are just intent on becoming a star driven franchise... feel like they’re gonna hire a ty lue like coach now. and even with all that heading into next year they still look like the 6th or 7th best team in the east.

i guess that's the only way to make sense of this:

Sean Marks and Atkinson had several conversations and the sense had been that a change was inevitable and both sides decided that there was no sense waiting on it. Both had felt that Atkinson and Nets had run course together. They have maintained a close relationship.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) March 7, 2020

either they didn't think atkinson could coach a kd/kyrie team next year or he made it clear he had no desire to do so

the nets making a bunch of savvy moves to speed up their recovery from the awful kg/pierce trade and then taking a hard left turn into trying to brute force a good team again is kinda sad

agreed. getting credit for building a respectable program and then revealing that it was all a front to get stars to a big market.

love for the Wolves to make a play for him

Somebody has to explain why a GREAT Coach like Kenny Atkinson gets fired?

— DeMarre Carroll (@DeMarreCarroll1) March 7, 2020

it’s true, someone should probably explain that to him

if the same person cld explain the shape of the earth at the same time.....

This is bizarre

Stephen A. Smith says he doesn’t “believe” the Nets organization believes in Kenny Atkinson.

That’s very irresponsible speculation if that’s not directly sourced.

He says the Nets coach will be whoever KD wants to be the coach.

— Billy Reinhardt (@BillyReinhardt) March 4, 2020

from 3 days ago lol

wldve been surprised if it didnt happen in the offseason as kd and kyrie didnt like attkins control freaky total system upon arrival but its pretty weird that it happened now, mb they want to give jacque vaughn a shot

i'll live with danny's refusal to sign good bench players if it means at least the celtics dont have to go through stuff like this

def preferable

Kyrie definitely got Atkinson fired. Is he really worth the trouble?

kyrie shd be a knick its the only way forward

They traded the wrong guy it seems

i definitely don't think the kd/kyrie nets will be a top team. maybe if kd comes back 100% somehow they can make it happen but otherwise they're gonna be a 4-6 seed in the current east

nets need to makes some moves to make their roster make more sense kyrie was right about that lol

i can't wait to root against the nets next year. it's going to be a lot of fun.

between bad vibes and their two new stars injury histories seems unlikely theyll ever really make it work

cad otm

pieces already coming out about how kyrie wants to get ty lue (who he will turn on 10 months later)

Kd and Kyrie bromance could go sour before they even play together

it mightve already who knows

but really we should salute the true victims here--every *thoughtful* nba journalist who thought that institutional culture mattered.

yet another way in which jordan was a pioneer

lmao

"In Zach Lowe’s latest pod with Kevin Arnovitz (~7:45 minute mark) they walk through some of the reasons for Atkinson’s dismissal. Key amongst them apparently is some long-simmering tension with DeAndre Jordan coming off the bench, in favor of Jarrett Allen.”

what a profoundly shitty thing to do to jarrett allen.

Lakers have limit the early shot clock jumpers from Rondo, Bradley etc.

The nuggets are getting smashed on defense so trading Beasley really isn’t their problem per se

Millsap just not the difference maker there he was early in the season....

three point shooting

Nuggets need three point shooting but they also desperately need defense and Gary harris is elite there... I think it would have been ok to bite the bullet and match Beasley offers in the offseason but gambling on a Harris Renaissance makes sense

great game today... anyone think these aren’t the two best teams in the NBA?

gotta have the bucks in the mix!

Like this move

Also lame: clippers playing full-court press with like a 34 point lead.

dray is nursing some tank-like symptoms

is there anyone worth tanking for in the upcoming draft class? Not that the dubs shouldn't tank.

yah who knows really but they may be trying to flip the pick for something else.

it’s interesting specifically with the warriors bcuz the top few picks are projected to be a true center (wiseman) and guards (edwards, lamelo, anthony). basically the 2 things they don’t need. i remember people saying that the warriors have been eyeing having a true center for years — they did want to go after brow at one point — so they’d probably take wiseman. i haven’t seen the kid from maccabi tel aviv play but it’s a bad year to be looking at wing options in the top 3.

it’s not like the warriors need more luck but the rest of the league should be very thankful there’s no jayson tatum like player out there for them to take

warriors should take jeff greens son jeff green jr

Whaaaaaaaaaaat?!??

Yeah, suspending play until they can get a reasonable plan in place was pretty much the only choice the league had. I'm sure the player's union will want some input on this, too. I'd say it will be a week of suspension at the absolute minimum, and possibly the season and playoffs cancelled at the maximum. It could even be both, sequentially, as the games come back briefly, then it becomes untenable. Fuck. Yet another piece of our 'happy place' gone to shit.

neat how the jazz were able to get access to 58 tests

First Take is wall to wall Rudy Gobert

am I being crazy for thinking the league should seriously consider suspending him for the rest of the season, assuming play does resume? I imagine that could stir up shit with the players union though.

the public shame is probably punishment enough

I mean when Woj rolls with the "privately players are saying" type tweet ppl are seriously angry behind the scenes

but yeah, it's such an odd act how do you classify in terms of suspension?

I don’t think he should be suspended. Bigger fish to fry rn.

Not sure how they can suspend him right now I mean I guess they could fine him 50k and make him play five games.

kind of remarkable that there was only one other positive test

yeah he's gonna be publicly shamed enough j0 otm. he may be treated like deangelo russell was for a while

I'm kind of over idiots putting other ppl at risk

there are bigger idiots putting more people at more risk than gobert, even if you just confine it to "things that happened last night"!
