NBA Thread 2019-2020

No NBA, sooo boring... just a random video about my beloved spurs... love this to bits, the passing, the movement, the footwork of some players and more than anything the TEAM feeling above individual... what a team, what a franchisee

Also spending lot of time watching old matches/highlights and interesting videos from the 80s especially, during this quarantine period. Always read about the Bad Boys of Pistons and how they brutally mauled Jordan but watched a couple of game tapes from those times, gives a whole new perspective of basketball in those times and how things became so soft in this generation...

yeah its actually true what you said... chala sports ni itla chesaru and add to that all the rival players being buddy-buddy with each other and joking on social media has completely watered down the intensity of many sports... 

cricket lo kooda rules anni change chesi dengaaru just like NBA, to suit the batsmen more ... same thing in NBA, the rules dont help the defensive side of the game... just shoot shoot shoot and score 120-140 stupid points every game... boring

Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett ... all three inducted to HOF this year. One of the best classes of HOF but still think Garnett is not on the same level as the other two.. .but totally deserved by all three.

ya avnu the first technical was too much even though he should have kept his cool a little... I think the league is preparing both the LA teams to meet in the finals for $$$$$

I dont know, I cant predict. My team, Spurs, are out of playoffs for the first time. If anything I would want the Bucks to win it from here

Ok we have our first shock/upset of the playoffs. Magic steamrolled through the bucks, time for the champion contenders to wake up and get their act together. Middleton hopefully steps up more and helps Giannis.

I think he will leave at the end of the season unless they win championship or come extremely close.

Rockets won, sad

Lakers lost, happies

What a player Damian Lillard is, some people are labelling this as an upset but it is not. Even though the blazers are 8th seed, they are stilll capable of damaging some great teams.... but Lakers will come back stronger and should eventually win the series
