NBA 2019-2020 season thread

Also just watching Thybulle, the kid's just a talented player. Terrific hands.

He's just so awkward on offense.

But defensively he's a joy to watch. So long and active.

Oh my god the Hornets are going to blow this game, after how they lost the Chicago game too?

Up 7 with a minute to go they surrender a 5 point possession, turn it over, give up the go ahead three, and then turn it over AGAIN.

The suns seem to have crashed down to earth recently.

Could al Horford set his career high in points tonight? His career high is 34 and he has 15 with 8 minutes left in second quarter. Definitely setting the clock back tonight

I guess I jinxed him. Was really hoping he could have kept that doing. Would have been a cool story. Related to that, kind of insane they played Horford 35 minutes in a game that basically over in second quarter. I get embiid have some foul trouble, worried they could run Horford into the ground.

They have 2 days off before playing Washington on Thursday and Cleveland on Saturday.  I wouldn't be surprised if they sit Horford for one of those games and Embiid for the other.

Butler taking over in OT vs Raptors.

Hopefully they’ll be too tired tomorrow

Wow, Houston was up by 20 a little while ago, now they're trailing in OT. Harden and Westbrook combined 15-56.

[DefenseWinsChamps]

The Harden-Westbrook backcourt was a combined 18 for 68 tonight, scoring 69 points on 68 shots.

This is approaching Kobe levels of shot-hunting.

[ETNCeltics]

James Harden with one of the worst 50 pt performances imaginable, but just missed an NBA record for perfect FT night, 24-24.

In the meantime, the NBA has dropped 2 nationally televised games of the Warriors due to them being the worst team in the league in which one of the games will be replaced by Boston in Dallas...

Personally I think the league should remove all their remaining schedule on national TV.. They are atrocious right now.

proof that the warriors fans are all bandwagoners who have jumped off the wagon

Pet Peeve. Why is the best team in the NBA by record said to have the 'best record in basketball?' They are almost certainly the strongest team in the world perhaps, but what makes the proponents of this slogan so sure that there isn't some random club in some random national or continental league with a better win-loss record, or win% at that point in time?

that is wrong..... It means that the casual fan is not interested in watching an awful team.

You've hit the nail there.
