NBA 2019-2020 season thread

IT is hanging with the Celtics at a Smart event. Cool to see that.

What a game!!

What a game!!

I see Cavs up 1 with 20 seconds left.  Philly ball.


Now Philly up 1 with 13 left - Cavs TO.

Coming down to the wire. Tobias Harris 0-11 from 3

That was a pretty good play Bret Brown drew up.

Cavs will have the last shot and chance to win

What a shame . Should have let Clarkson take the last shot. Although Love had a good look

Man the 76ers seem to have horse shoes in their pocket this year. Kevin Love basically misses a wide open 3 at the buzzer and then a scramble for the loose ball and ends with the 76ers winning by one. The 76ers have won two games by one point and one by 2, they also have lost by 2 and 3 points.

I remember debates during the offseason about whether the 76ers had enough shooting. It certainly appears those fears were founded. The 76ers were 8-38 from 3 this game.

Trae Young is turning into a nice young player, but I still remain in disbelief that they traded Doncic. Every time I see LD play, my impression of him gets better. I can't imagine how good he'll be in 5 years. Were I a Hawks fan, I'd be nauseous just thinking about it.

Yeah, Young is solid. Just a shame for them that Doncic is a generational talent. Also a shame that they took Reddish with the pick that Dallas gave them, and I have quite low expectations for them.

Imagine scoring 26 a game and dishing out 8 assists and still being disrespected. Trae is really good guys, he's far from "solid."

Who is disrespecting him? He's likely going to be a 5-8 time All-Star guard.

He's just not likely going to be a multiple-time MVP, which is what I think Atlanta gave up for him.

[Rondo9]

Just come on guys give him more respect than that. “Oh he’s a solid player.” Seriously? No respect.

Disrespect isn't intended. He'll probably become an all star soon. 

Doncic will be first team all nba this season.

Even if Young does become a perennial all star, it's still one of the worst trades in nba history.

20 years from now people will look back and say they can't believe Luka Doncic went third in his draft. It will be the millennial equivalent of a different generation not believing that Michael Jordan slipped to #3 in his draft.

Trae Young will go on to have a great career and, who knows, becomes an All-time great Atlanta Hawk. But he will forever be the guy Atlanta chose over Luka Doncic and that won't be looked at as a good thing.
