THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[geno90221]

He the best player in the game tho according to the media....

 

[lovehateself]

Kobe would never

 

[HIM]

The messed up part about Kawhi’s load management BS is we saw how bad it turned out for him last year

 

[pums]

I used to not care about DNP rests until I watched a game live and I got hit with that

 

[ballinsam23]

I know the NBA is not your regular job, but they should really implement a PTO/sick day for players like a regular job would.

This “load management” crap sounds like a bunch of ********, there’s almost no limit which there should be. Or just shorten the season by 10 games.

 

[Tony $now]

ALA been kinda quiet lately.

still here. Nothing to hate on these last few games. Lakers and Bron specifically have been hooping, it’s still F LA and Bron till the world blow.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Man this Lakers team is beautiful to watch. AD and Bron the best duo going, role players all fitting in, Kuz working himself back in shape and more importantly this defense.


This is only the beginning, chemistry ain't even clicking all the way. Ya'll in for a tough season.

 

[everysingletime]

winslow just cost me a **** ton of money in fanduel

what a ****ing bum

I have three heat players in fantasy : Adebayo, Nunn and Herro and it looks like they all stunk it up lol

This “load management” crap sounds like a bunch of bull****, there’s almost no limit which there should be. Or just make the load management games yield 0’s in the stats column and see how much rest the players actually need when it affects incentives etc. 82 games have been played forever, why should the league reduce games based on this current crop of players and their need for load management. They already make more money than previous generations, they get to play less games on top of that? Nah that seems like a bad business decision.

fixed

Nuggets . Jokic outta shape tho. And it’s weird, cuz he played in the summer. Must’ve let himself go between his national team duties and training camp. Fully expect him to work himself back into shape...and we take off. 5-2 with and outta shape Jokic so far

I won’t even comment on that other team, and their phony 6-1 start. When it crumbles (like it always does when the schedule tightens up)....I can’t WAIT to see who’s on the block or who to blame.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It’s one thing to not agree with resting but I always find it odd when people want to take actual money away from another person

Once AD is on the DL again James will be back to his passive aggressive bs, trying to trade everyone cuz he has “no help”, and throwing inbounds off the backboard etc

 

[Nipsey3000]

But Clippers fans said Kawhi wasn't going to load manage this season.

Stop it. Clippers fans knew it would happen. The team, doc Rivera said it wouldn't.

Just...Stop...It

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Wut

 

[Nipsey3000]

2 outta 8 games missed with load management already. That's a 25% clip meaning he's going to miss close to 20 games again this season.



He said he was 100%

Nope. He'll miss one game every back to back, Reportedly. Clippers have 7 back to backs this year

I'm on record that he should've went hard till Paul George came back. But like lawdog1 said, his condition won't get better... It's a long season, the Clippers will be just fine.

So if you own a business, you’d be cool paying your employees more money and they can take days off whenever they feel like it? Regarding the rest, how about reducing practice time vs missing actual games.

If I was an nba owner who had Kawhi on my team I’d be living great and not be worrying about scheming to take his money

 

[sooperhooper]

I see Lakers making a package for cp. Rondo, kcp and cook, I'm thinking. Idk how the contracts look tho.

Clippers have 13 back to backs?

Lay off the drugs

 

[Nipsey3000]

My bad, 13

So, if that plan goes, 13 games

Ain’t nobody in they right mind taking on that CP0 contract.

 

[antidope]

Yall really sound nuts. The guy doesn't feel right so he's not going to play. That's it.

 

[pums]

Kawhi's load management pretty much enforces that the spurs medical team were right and Kawhi acted like a ****

You pay for results b aka winning rings, selling more jerseys and team merchandise, selling more and higher priced tickets, etc.
