Around the NBA: Restart Edition

[KSF-ERIC]

Two tidbits. KG may be buying the TImberwolves. Jermaine O’Neal and Tracy McGrady are starting their own players energy. I think they’ll do great. They both came to NBA out of high school and will be able to relate to the young players they represent.

This thread will just take posts away from HCP's thread "The return of the NBA."

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Bagley not playing in restart. Foot injury.

 

[THE HCP]

MERGE please

Pat Beverly has left bubble for urgent matter.

What's the urgent matter. Would testing positive be considered an urgent matter?

I don’t think he tested positive.

 

[HailBlazers]

Why didn't you include Bubble in the thread title

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Zach Lowe looks at teams that will be using lineups in the bubble that were rarely or never used in the regular season. Amazingly enough, he does not look at Trailblazers.

I don't get the cynicism. These efforts should be lauded.

Zach Lowe is a casual that fools people into thinking he’s an expert because he writes 10,000 words and tosses in a couple video clips. Good for him, but I would never take anything he writes or says seriously.

He had a pod yesterday with SVG talking about the 8th seed in the west.

He split it into MEM and NOP.

No talk about us at all. Kinda pissed me off, not gonna lie. How the hell did Zion supersede Dame in the superstar hierarchy?

Peepin the clipper magic game and it just looks like any other game. It might even look cooler.

Me too. Looks good. Lots of rust. The court and arena has a cool set up

It also seems like there’s more room out of bounds, good for player safety. Wouldn’t be surprised if court side photography was banned permanently, or at least adjusted.

Sounds like a radio announcer.

Lowe is a legit analyst cuz really watches the games. He’ll watch Knick/Hawks so he can be good at his job.

Yep. So far, I don’t miss crowd noise.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Paul George playing. Lou and Kawhi too.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Nuggets started Bol, Jokic, Plumlee, Grant hahaha. CRAZY size!

 

[Scalma]

Yep. So far, I don’t miss crowd noise.

I don’t even notice the difference. The pace of basketball helps. The only time it’s noticeable for me is when play stops. I hope they don’t pump crowd noise once the real games start. I don’t think it’s needed like some other sports.

I agree.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Bol with 3 blocks and a 3.

 

[noknobs]

I for one will definitely miss the crowd noise, especially in the playoffs. It just doesn't feel important without noise, more like a summer league game. I also don't like how the players on the bench are so far away you can't even see their reactions. It's the best I could expect, just miss the real thing.

 

[Boise Blazer]

I'm not getting the point of the pumped in DEFENSE! chant...

 

[Scalma]

Bol with 3 blocks and a 3.

He’ll be good as long as he stays healthy. Watched him at the hoop summit and thought he was the best player on the court. Saw him in the g league and thought he was good on both ends. Wish we had a second round pick, he’s exactly the type of player you take a chance on.

Nba trying to make it as normal as possible.

Could’ve taken him instead of Little.
