"The NBA is targeting Dec. 22 for the start of the 2020-21 season and a 72-game campaign that finishes before the ‘21 Olympics."

NBA could be back sooner than we thought but with a shortened schedule of just 72 games, isn't that exciting news, basketball in just two month from now, yay!

Hope they bring back the play-in tournament from the bubble, really thought this was a success.

I need that 10-hour, 4 game Christmas matchups right about now! Grin

Thanks for the update.
Finishing it before the Olympics. Will there be an Olympics? Grin

I guess that's a different section to talk about.

I thought Adam Silver will try to change the format by now.
So, he just cut some games in a season. Yeah, that tournament works like a charm. He should try it again.
Change the season format, keep the playoffs.

This is a great surprise by the NBA, it's an early Christmas present to us, this news alone can already give us some excitement to watch the NBA back again, the break was really short for the NBA players, now back in the bubble, a longer period than the previous one but we saw how entertaining it is already.

Blazers had young players that they could improve with, they even paid them a lot of money as well, around 2016-2017 period they were really looking like a team of dame+cj plus a lot of promising young talent yet that talent never really became too good, which ended up causing them to lose in the long run because they had to get people from free agency to get better, which turned out to be alright but it was all due to getting good free agents (and getting Nurkic was lucky as well).

They are good but not good enough, they are still not a championship caliber team, they always fell short against the bests teams in the NBA.
I think if we believe they have the right roster already, a changed of coaching stuff might be the solution.

Look at Denver, they don't have a lot of superstars but they are playing well, playing with good defense and offense, and I think that's what Portland are lacking.

Quote from: beerlover on October 23, 2020, 04:16:49 PM

So, Portland is at that bad spot where they are not contenders but they are still pretty good, which is why I really think that they need just one more superstar, like proper superstar though, and they would be awesome but unfortunately they do not have the popularity to get it easily.

We will wait who that would be, but like I said, I would love to see a new coach for this team.

I'm curious who will be the new head coach of the Rockets since D'Antoni will leave the team already.

I thought he got fired, kidding. Rockets hasn't really improve, when D'Antoni the coaching job, there's a lot of success for this team as they went in the WCF several times, but this last season, they were really struggling and that Westbrook trade to Paul was a big mistake, and I think D'Antoni didn't like it.

There's a news/rumor last week that he's about to head on Nets coaching staff.

But it still needs to be verified as there's not yet validation if that's the final.

How about the Blazers, do we have an update of this team too?

There's no interesting update on this team yet, or rumors.
In free agency, there's a lot of players that they could sign if they think of improving, Melo to be in the line up does not help big time at all IMO.
What the Blazers need is a young players with real talent, good in defense, and has a high basketball IQ. .

They already have the best backcourt duo, but sometimes one is inconsistent so it wouldn't work.

I think they also need to build their chemistry as they already have the talents.

BTW, read this

Thanks for the reply, I will continue to follow the update of this team as I like them to be in the playoffs again. Lillard deserve to be playing with more role players in the team as he can't bring the team to success alone, he is good, extremely good but when defense collapse on him, he will be limited.

CJ was not fully healthy last season, particularly in the bubble, so if NBA will be back in the old set up, hopefully he will be fully healthy.

Stan handled the Pistons in the past years and they didn't played that good at that time. On the other side, Jeff Van Gundy is one of the commentators that I like to commentate in the game along side with Mike Breen (Bang Boy) Cheesy

.

It's the fun trio. Mike Breen, Jeff, and Mark Jackson. When combined, Boom!!!
Listening to them will give you a lot of historical events while doing the comments in-game that is why I love them.

3 favorites according to rumors.
John Lucas - Asst. Coach Rockets
Stephen Silas - Asst. Coach Mavericks
Jeff Van Gundy - ESPN commentator (former Houston coach 03-07')

Quote from: Maslate on October 22, 2020, 06:21:11 PM

I know there are two but I don't know they are brothers in real life. haha.
Which one of them handles the coaching job for the bad boys Detroit Pistons?

It was Stan who coached Pistons back then. Jeff served Knicks and Rockets.

Correction, it's Van Gundy, it's a different person if misspelled. Well, he is very useful to the team, I hope he can help, AFAIK, he was already doing some commentating job in the NBA but now back to coaching, happy to see that, I hope he can improve the Pelican's defense as that is their weakness.

Also a correction. There are two Van Gundy's in the realm of the NBA. Brothers. Grin

The commentator was Jeff. (right side) He works for ESPN and we can always hear his sarcastic comments. But he also coached years ago.
Stan Van Gundy (left side). An analyst after coaching and now he's back.

Fun fact: Rockets is still trying to get Jeff as their head coach. But, I don't think Jeff will come back.

Now I really don't believe that these 2 Van Gundy aren't brothers and they are just having a same surname but now it already is answered Cheesy

They really are brothers then.

Probably the influence of those people who are near to you might led you to decide to join in the club and in this case it is in the basketball league.

Blood is thickier than water and that we can prove it here that a brother will always came after its welfare to the family members by finding a way tha can join in any organization you think he could fit in. The two might be doing the same thing. Anyway, there are already had proof and are actually good in the field so they could be labeled as an asset and not liabiity in the field they are chosen.

They are enjoying what they are doing already, so good for them.
Pelicans has all the talent to be a championship contender, as long as Zion will remain healthy, I think they'll improve next season with a new coach.

If they still won't succeed, then I think I would not anymore expect from this team, they are just a hype team but has not proven anything.

How about the Blazers, do we have an update of this team too?

I know Jeff Van Gundy was the one who coached Dwight Howard back in his magic days when he really got popular.

Some "old" guys are planning to return to the NBA floor in the next season. For example, Joe Johnson still looks healthy, and I think he will able to play 1 or 2 seasons. Also, Jamal Crawford intends to return to break the ankles of rookies with his crossover skills. Grin

Article about free agents.

Both players are still playing well, hopefully they will be sign again especially Joe Johnson.

Jamal Crawford signed with the nets for the bubble only, so he has no contract yet this upcoming season but this guy can still play and can contribute to the team as he is already a veteran which has some big games during his prime, is GSW can signed him, I would be glad to see him in the roster.

Stan Van Gundy agrees to become coach of Pelicans

Comments? Wink

Not much special but it's a good move.

With Van Gundy's reputation, I think these Pelicans youngsters will be intimidated as a sign of respect. A famous coach that maybe can increase these youngsters morale to give their best in every game. Players won't likely to make mistakes.

Aside from hiring a famous coach, Pelicans should also revamp their bench players.

I think Zion WIlliamson is good as he is, it was his knee surgery that screwed him up for most of last season. Ingram was at the Lakers for some time but was just assisting other star players and never really found a specialty for himself at the time. Though now he certainly plays more impressively now that he's at the Pelicans.

Van Gudry should focus on these two players the most so that they can carry the squad that he forms through games, even when opposition is tough.

I agree to you! Managements needs also to have additional good players after having a good coach.

This young selections needs someone who can bring more out from them, they already have the talents just needed some more maturities, better to hire another star caliber player who can manage to work with Zion and Ball, they are offensive players just need someone to guide them aside from their new head coach.
