OFFICIAL 2020 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD - DISNEY COVID INVITATIONAL EDITION - MAMBA FOREVER - LAKERS WIN THE RONA RAND - ALA FOREVER

[storm2006]

Bron going to have his way with dead legs Blazers.

they needed scoring bron more than anything tonight with AD going ghost. but i hear bron isn't a "scorer"

This narrative of “Who they got for Bron, though” needs to be suspended until further notice. Year 17, Bubble Bron is no longer THAT Bron.

Missing bunnies, bailing defenders out with bad 3s, being aggressively passive. Every team in their path has the personnel to keep up with the version of him/Lakers that we’re seeing right now.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Nah he had some good ones tonight.

Hold on.





Not TOO wild of a claim but still.

You missed our giant debate on whether or not MJ would be a reliable 3 point shooter in today's game the rule changes were brought up to question just how dominant MJ would be. Last Dance awoke a lot of inner feelings

 

[dasitmane]

I've heard different quotes on this, but is it confirmed which sounds are actually played in the arena? I've heard different reporters say it's quiet then others say they slowly started implementing some sounds

I'm not sure if it's changed for the playoffs but the crowd noises are only on the tv broadcast.

 

[freeze]

According to wavycrocket 's man it is all for us

Soft.

Wait, so the fan noise is for us?? It's actually quiet on the court?? Is he sure? That kinda defeats the point no?

Nah, I was here for it. I am not sure how anyone would even be able to ASSUME how someone's skillSet would transform in a different era.

I was just having this convo with IATT a few days ago.

It just ends up people assigning mythical skills to players based on what exactly?

I hate it.

Players are going to play regardless of fan noise or not. Fans might not watch without it

"Hey Adam, it's Bron. Yeah, I think I saw KCP coughing without a mask on."

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Lakers want to play the 2 bigs though, and for as much **** as we give Whiteside, I think it is fair to say that he’s a better player than Dwight. Against a team that has been shooting as poorly as the Lakers, having his shot blocking in there is a plus when they try to ditch the jumpers and take it to the basket.

There were moments that I wondered if Dwight was having a reality check considering he was being outplayed by Whiteside. I assume he has accepted what/who he is by now but, I just wonder what he really thinks.

"Hey Adam, it's Bron. Yeah, I think I saw KCP coughing without a mask on."

The Blazers defense was supposed to be medicine for the Lakers offense

Yikes

 

[second2nonee]

Message aside, these MAGA spin off hats are NOT it man

 

[casper90403]

AD is 53/172 (30%) on above the break 3's according to NBA.com

Keep shooting, it will come together.........

 

[B Sox]

Close though? I figured they'd go AD at 5 to close... so that's why I would have never guessed Whiteside would even be an option. Collins if anything

Collins going to get pushed around by AD and Dwight though. That doesn’t happen with Whiteside in there. Try to get the battle of the bigs to be somewhat of a wash and hope Dame/CJ/Trent can outshoot Bron and whoever else.

Not it in terms of what?

Sure, not a Fashion Statement but people WILL read them and the message it is sending.

That is the point

[nikekid6]

and here come the excuses pumping in....

 

[finessence]

According to wavycrocket 's man it is all for us

Had his excuse Already drawn up. Everything has to be “perfect” in order for him to be successful

 

[definition of dopeness]

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

Crowdgate?

 

[wavycrocket]

You don’t see Damian Lillard bishin about “crowd noise”.

Lakers fans....y’all gotta admit. That’s a soft *** excuse.

 

[dman14]

they pump in crowd noise and music but the volume isn't too loud in the arena. it's mostly for tv viewers
i forgot which reporter it was, but they said you can hear coaches very clearly

there were several gms where the audio kept going out because it was clear that guys were cussing

Carmelo Anthony’s On-Court Cussing Has TV Networks Playing Defense

With no crowd noise, censors are working overtime to mute the most profane players.

whenever fans get back to be able to go to games... lebron should stay after the game and sign everyone an autograph.

 

[B Sox]

Message aside, these MAGA spin off hats are NOT it man

The message is the whole point. And the fact that the most famous athlete in the country is wearing it is going to get people talking.

 

[IATT]

Nah, I was here for it. I am not sure how anyone would even be able to ASSUME how someone's skillSet would transform in a different era.

I hate it.

with regard to Jordan we don’t have to question if he was athletic enough to keep up with current guys and we saw him play with the likes of certain guys who dominated the 00s and even into the early 10s

KCP brought the burner back out
