RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - ThunderMav - 01-02-2020 (01-02-2020, 11:11 PM)omahen Wrote:CP was not happy at time of trade and I expected him to tank to preserve. He kinda started that way but has done a 180. That factored in. I also thought 2-3 years for SGA to get this good. And expected Gallo to be traded. Dennis wasn’t this good last year. Adams was injured to start year I thought they would spell him a ton in tank mode. Didn’t expect Bazley to be this good either. Nader has impressed.(01-02-2020, 11:00 PM)ThunderMav Wrote: My goodness I’m falling for this team. Had zero, I mean zero expectations this year and these guys are gelling so good. Across the board for so many reasons I was not seeing it. Even wanted Billy gone yet he is coaching his ass off. Did not see this. CP is key and normally a disgruntled player is bad news. His attitude has changed. I am happily wrong. Eating crow as I type (01-02-2020, 11:18 PM)Scott41theMavs Wrote:(01-02-2020, 11:00 PM)ThunderMav Wrote: My goodness I’m falling for this team.

I had no idea SGA was this damn good! Get him to the ASG! Good eye. I never kept up since we had no picks that year. Flew under radar for me. Totally clueless about him til trade. But wow, you were spot on he is amazing yet still learning. No matter what happens with roster he is one of the long term pieces. How Presti got all those draft picks too plus Gallo. Wow. Before I get ahead we are not in LAC league playoff wise. We can rough up the first round opponent tho. RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - hakeemfan - 01-03-2020 SGA was one of my fav players in that draft due to his mid range game which I love. A lot of coaches are so fixated on 3s that they miss gems like these. Speaking of which MPJ is seriously beginning to remind everyone why he was once the consensus #1 pick. I hope he stays healthy. His game is so fluid. I am just glad we got Luka. Teams like the Knicks will be kicking themselves for playing it safe.

Might as well re-sign Gallo this summer right? Quality player who really shouldn't be that expensive at his age. Not sure how many other bidders he'd have And consolidating a few of those more recent picks into quality players makes a ton of sense to me. Just look at Boston and how many late firsts/ high 2nd rounders they've had recently who they havent been able to develop. Then keep the later year picks in case those teams fall apart (mainly looking at the Rockets there) RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - ThunderMav - 01-04-2020 Adams man he is strong https://twitter.com/UpTheThunder/status/1213632509201801217 Wow https://twitter.com/royceyoung/status/1213634899833499649 https://twitter.com/royceyoung/status/1213636388438052864 https://twitter.com/TheHoopCentral/status/1213613548355477504 RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - ThunderMav - 01-04-2020 This just crazy he had 2 players mugging and even holding him yet gets the rebound. He had 16 boards in the win. This team is so fun to watch this year and now sit 20-15. 10 road games in Jan (7 home) and we are 2-0 both road wins. Noel rolled an ankle so that will hurt. https://twitter.com/OKCTHUNDERAlex/status/1213653820816818176 RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - Mavs2019 - 01-04-2020 Wizard beat the Nuggets without Beal, Bertans, Hachimura, Bryant and Wagner. Their bench went bongas with 92 points. RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - ThunderMav - 01-05-2020 https://twitter.com/TheHoopCentral/status/1213882390109573123 RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - ThunderMav - 01-05-2020 Strange year There are 16 playoff seeds Only 13 have winning records 17 teams have losing records No one is 500. Closest losing team is 14-16 then it drops to 16-20. Same for winning teams the closest to 500 is OKC at 20-15. No middle ground it seems. But the western fight for 8 seed is with 7 teams with 20-24 losses. The 1 seed might be a huge advantage this year RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - HoosierDaddyKid - 01-05-2020 (01-04-2020, 10:32 PM)Mavs2019 Wrote: Wizard beat the Nuggets without Beal, Bertans, Hachimura, Bryant and Wagner. Their bench went bongas with 92 points. That's why if you don't respect your opponent, you can get popped. Denver probably thought, We Got This. Clippers were blown out by the Grizz, 140-114. You can lose to anybody.

First team with 20 blocks in a game, since Toronto in 2001. Davis, McGee and Howard are why they lead the league, in them.

Also Blazers get Nurkic back, too.

RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - ThunderMav - 01-06-2020 I think Stef/staff will find ways to delay his comeback or find new ”injuries” once he is back. They have no reason to play and my guess are tanking for high pick to turn into trade assets for next year. Regardless what anyone thinks of him he is a cult hero in OKC not unlike Dirk/Mavs. He did so much for the franchise and community. He will get a standing ovation and a memories video. I think Russ likely asked Rox to let him play against OKC vs play the prior game. He would not want it any other way than to compete out of respect. But once the game starts he is not a Thunder and I hope we beat them big. My alliance is with the team and he is on the opposing team. He will likely be very emotional and overtry which will help us get an early lead. But pregame, nothing but praise and adoration. Once game starts “go Thunder”. https://twitter.com/joe_mussatto/status/1214236276444012544 And to make the night even more emotional the team is wearing their new City uniforms for the first time https://twitter.com/bdcoley3/status/1155159994976931840 RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - ClutchDirk - 01-06-2020 https://youtu.be/vxD-MELxTx4 RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - jesusshuttlesworth82 - 01-07-2020 Lonzo with four straight 20+ point games.

Is he finally figuring it out? Refs robbed them big time against Utah. I am quite happy we already played three games against them, as league will be creating a lot of hype once Zion returns. RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - ThunderMav - 01-07-2020 ^^ Yup, he was fouled easy call. They shoulda had 2 FTs RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - ThunderMav - 01-07-2020 https://twitter.com/ThunderND/status/1214578814367490048 RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - Jym - 01-07-2020 (01-07-2020, 12:44 PM)ThunderMav Wrote: https://twitter.com/ThunderND/status/1214578814367490048 Guessing he'll be playing plenty in either China or Europe next year |
