DG_ThenNowForever Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 When the Lakers offense is clicking it looks really, really nice. I don't know if Vogel or Kidd or someone else gets the credit for it, but I think the Lakers are the most aesthetically pleasing team in the league this season. Them or the Bucks and sometimes the Clippers. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coaches might draw up and practice the plays but come game time it’s Lebron running that offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Clippers lost to the Bulls tonight. Â These are the games that will decide a 1 vs 2, 3, 4 or 5 seed. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeAngelo Russell could be moved already.  Significant enough for ESPN to have Woj and Lowe record a podcast and air it.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Six Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 With all the hysteria over the sagging ratings this season, ESPN is just searching for new ways to drum up interest during the dog days of the NBA season. I've heard Lowe and Windhorst mention December 15 multiple times as some important day we're supposed to be excited about, but in all my years of following basketball I never knew "trade season" was a thing.

It’s just manufactured drama that doesn’t exist. It’s never been an important thing in the past and isn’t now.  It was it you were paying attention over the summer. If not, I don't know what to tell you.  I do agree that a lot of the NBA commentary class cares way more about player movement than they do the actual games. To the point that I think a lot of them should just do NBA 2K seasons and sim the games rather than complaining about how long the season is. In fact, I think a lot of the NBA chattering class gets excited for the Finals, the Draft and free agency, and that's about it. It's a problem and it comes at expense of people caring about the actual season. See: declining ratings.  They highlighted the Dec. 15 date more in summer 2019 than they have previously, so I agree it's manufactured. But if you were following closely then, it shouldn't be a surprise now. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Six Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 ? I wasn't arguing with anyone to begin with. Just agreeing with don't care that "trade season" never felt like anything important before, and expressing bemusement in the idea that not watching enough ESPN is "on me". You even just agreed that it's manufactured, so...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I totally agree that ESPN et al are hyping Dec. 15 as An Event in a way they haven't before and that it's absolutely catering to the fantasy dweeb/analytics nerds. Â Absolutely no one needs a "trade season special" of an already regular podcast to discuss potential moves.

Magnus Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Well, in spite of some disgraceful disrespect by the refs, the *ahem* LEAGUE CHAMPION Raptors have a six point halftime lead against one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference. Yeah, I'm a homer. Here are the CHAMPIONS of the league, and they're getting all the questionable calls against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
