NBA 2019-20 thread.

Lakers up 30 on the Suns 4 minutes into the 2nd.

 

At the start of the second half the Suns announcer said "Sometimes the score doesn't really tell the story. This one tells it perfectly."

 

Watched the Knicks and Portland. I don't really know why. Carmelo scored close to 30 at the Garden. IIRC, Lillard had 10. Blazers lost.

 

I'm going to see the Blazers and Wizards tomorrow night, because a friend of mine is a huge Portland fan. We're going to wait until an hour before tip to get tickets. Not expecting much of an issue there.

Sigh. Thanks for sharing though, Jake.

 

Well, gee whiz, Thomas didn't last long.

 

We had just gotten to our seats. It was wild.

 

Blake Griffin (knee surgery) unlikely to return this year. What are Detroit Pistons' options?

The full-throttle tank is on.

 

So a guy having surgery on an injured knee that already kept him out for 18 games this season is "full-throttle" tanking?

OK.

 

No, now that they know he won't be back this season, there's no chance of an inspiring late surge into the No. 8 playoff berth, so there's no reason they shouldn't ship out Drummond, trade everybody they can, and nuke the whole thing down to bedrock.

 

17 of 30 teams have losing records.
3 of 16 teams in current playoff slots have losing records.

tanking to get a better cheaper player for next year makes sense.
