NBA 2019-2020 season thread

Suns looking like they might be the team to hand Philly their 1st loss of the season.  Never would have believed that 2 weeks ago.

Also watching Horford and Baynes go at it right now is like watching this:



Just weird.

lol those guys played here 2 and 3 years, respectively.

But I'd love to get Baynes back. 15/7/6 and  a +17 tonight.

Sasheer Zamata has a bit about training men, only for them to break up, and be way better in the next relationship because they've been trained.

I feel like that about Baynes. He is now 15 of 31 from 3.. 10 more made threes and he will have made more than he did for his entire 2-year tenure as a Celtic.

Apparently only the 2nd time in his career that Horford has scored 25+ points in consecutive games.

A G-league team called the "Warriors" beat the Blazers last night.

No Durant. No Steph. No Klay. No Green. No Russell. No problem.

Well they do have their Draymond replacement in Eric Paschall now lol. Inb4 Kevon Looney becomes Kevin Garnett lite and one of their young guards becomes a star combo guard

D. Jordan injured his ankle last night and will have more imaging done to see severity of it. Looks like Kyrie might need to do a little more then a trillion points a game. 

Only 32, 6 rebounds and 8 assists so far a game with his Brooklyn debut. It is his highest assist total ever so far though so that is impressive with that supporting cast.  Going to be tough to improve their playoff seeding without some more help to support the flat one.

Kyrie's offense does appear to not have hit its peak yet though. A healthy Durant and Kyrie at the same time could make them near the top of the food chain for a few years in our conference. A lot of ifs though.  Can you imagine if next year conference finals was the Nets vs Celtics..this place would implode! I would love to see that matchup and us rise above them.

The most-fun version of the Warriors (as a franchise) has always been when a bunch of unknown / unappreciated / undersized guys hits a bunch of threes and does improbable stuff in front of an adoring crowd.

I'm just going to leave this here. For what it's worth, Kemba is right below Brogdon and Lowry. There are 2 other green jerseys, but I can't tell who's wearing them. Maybe Brown and Theis? I'm not really sure.

Btw, Aron Baynes is killing it! He ranks among LeBron, Kawhi, Luka, KAT and Mitchell!

The one behind Alex Len looks like it could be Theis.  I can't figure out the other one.

What do defensive points saved and offensive points added really mean?  How are they measured?

That's a plus for the Nets.  Allen is better than Jordan.

He is, and that's why he's been getting more minutes, but I still think DJ is a useful bench big-man. 6 points, 9 boards and over a block in roughly 20MPG isn't too bad.

I think it's something close to RAPM, a luck adjusted plus minus stat that accounts for the strength of opponents and quality of teammates.

This is like playing where’s Waldo.  Can’t find Kemba.  Which quadrant?
