The NBA 2019-20 Thread - Free agency is mad - Westbrook to Houston, CP3 to OKC!?

Nice, the only game I'm watching this season is the brooklyn-grizzlies game just before all-star break in Brooklyn.

Is 2k17 worth it? I've got 2k16 and I wasn't sure whether to get it or not.

Think the KD post actually would have been his idea, he genuinely is super interested in the Bay area and is really embracing the place already.


Absolutely buzzing for the season now. Picked up 2K17 today for me and my mate, have work at 7 Wednesday morning so I think I'm gonna sleep early evening tomorrow then wake up ready for that ~1am-6am opening night

Also jetting off to Orlando in a week and we've got tickets to 4 of the Magic games (Kings, Wizards, Timberwolves and Jazz). Great seats too, only 4 rows back. Gonna be great, but just that little bit more excited for the Timberwolves game, gonna try get a pic/autograph with my boy KAT.

I'm gonna be so ****ed for sleep. I think I might just pull off an all nighter and go to work afterwards so I can watch nba.

Anyway see Spurs getting bodied tomorrow morning.

Well we've finally made it through off season. Tonight the season openers tip off. Don't think I'll be able to catch any of the games, least of all Dubs who start at 3:30am =_=

Knicks @ Cavs
Jazz @ Trail Blazers
Spurs @ Warriors

In each case I'm picking the home team.

Well that was an eventful opening night! The warriors lost lol, they suck and wont make the finals.

Dude I heard their bench got absolutely wrecked by the Spurs depth. GS aren't going anywhere this season if they don't sort it out. Hopefully they don't I was so pleased to wake up to that news.

Unfortunately Knicks had the same problem... LeBron and Kyrie were also firing on all cylinders, there was a period where he and Kyrie were just alternating between crazy power dunks and stepback jumpers. It was pretty awesome to watch.

Knicks positives;

Noah's defense was really solid, he's looking very good
Rose was aggressive and getting to the rim very comfortably, Kyrie couldn't really stop him but he was struggling to get his layups to fall.

Negatives;

Too much ISO ball from Melo, needs to stop
No effort on D from Rose. (No pun intended)
Lack of presence from Noah on the offensive end
Poor effort from bench from what I saw too.

I was watching the golden state and basically the only reason they lost was the bench and effort.

I forgot the stats but the golden state starters were better than the SA starters but SA's bench essentially blew out golden states bench hence they won.
I think golden states bench only scored in the teens whereas SA's scored on the fifties.
It'll be interesting to see how Kerr fixes this but everyone needs to chill with the hot takes.

Let's be real, they're not going blow everyone out. its a new team with a huge new piece to fit but remember the heat started 9-8 and look what happened to them

Hawks have got a nice lookin team this year imo, bar Howard who I hate.

Watchin the Cavs this year is gonna be unreal, Lebron wants that MVP. Reckon Kawhi is a big favourite though.

Westbrook without durant has got to be a big mvp candidate.

What do you all think of Joel Embiid's game today?

20 points (6-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds and two blocks across 22 minutes

Insane stats for a rookie, I think he has a legit chance of being rookie of the year if he keeps this up!
