NBA 2019-20 thread.

Even the Bucs won the Super Bowl.

Even the Kings hoisted the Cup (then again).

How on God's earth have the Clippers not won the title once? Or even made it to the Finals.

The Clippers really are perfect for a #30for30 and title it "Those (expletive) Clippers (forever-expletive-more)"

 

8 or 9 years ago, when all the Cavs had to do is lose one more time to achieve the worst skid in sports history, 27 losses in a row ...

... here came the Clippers to save the day.

It's always the fucking Clippers.

 

Lillard from DEEEEEEEEEEEP!

Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum show no Twitter mercy after Clippers blow 3-1 lead

 

Haven’t seen the Nuggets
How’s Gary Harris doing?

 

Sterling. Never underestimate how chaotic and bad an awful owner can be for a team. If a franchise has floundered through multiple coaches and GMs, you can usually look at who owns the team as to why they still suck.

 

re: The Clippers and Rockets, I'm as big of a proponent of small ball as anyone, but I think both teams got exposed a bit for not having any decent bigs to match up with AD and Jokic. Given how dime a dozen centers can be, I think you still need a good defensive one to keep mothballed on the bench. Maybe someone opted out that I'm forgetting about, but the Rockets were running out P.J. Tucker for 28 minutes during the playoffs, along with Harden, Jeff Green and Bruno Caboclo at the 4 and 5 at times, I guess. (I don't even know for sure, looking at the box score.)

 

I don’t think Clips got exposed at 5/big, Zubac is a nice player. I don’t understand how Clips didn’t get more from Lou Williams and/or Harrell. I saw too much of them last year against Ws and didn’t see that same combo this year. It’s not like Kawhi or PG are ball hogs right?

 

I think the chief issue with Harrell and Williams is their defense of lack thereof. The Nuggets kept going at them with little resistance. It makes it tough to keep them on the floor.

That team is just a mess. On paper they should be champions. In real life they lack heart, have a superstar player who is a weird, borderline mute dude with no leadership, a second "superstar" who completely folds up under the slightest pressure, and a lot of good role players with holes in their game who seem to think the big two guys are assholes.

You absolutely have to fire Doc. I'm inclined to think they won't. They'll run it back next year and wonder why these guys gag it up again.

 

Wow the role players think Kawhi and PG are assholes? I seriously didn’t hear or read that.

That Beverley is a major pest, he was stripping dudes towards end of 4th qtr and I thought he might turn game by himself.

 

I thought this summed it up pretty well:
