I think Lakers os Clippers will be champions this season. If you choose between two, then probably Lakers more.

Underestimating the Bucks and Toronto.
Remember, the Raptors are still a solid team despite the fact that they lost their best player from last season.
Still too early to say the Lakers or the Clippers will become the 2020 NBA champion.

I agree, which is why I am rooting for another team too. Grin

Will it hurt their feelings if I say Mavericks will be the champ this year? Grin

Nah, I'm quite scared with the Mavericks too Cheesy

. Luka played very well this season, and I feel he'll do much better in the remaining 8 games upto playoffs (though too early to conclude). Well, Porzingis is good as well

. If it weren't about Luka they won't get close to bounding in, in this coming playoffs, note their last was 2015-16 season.

Look at his stats:

It is too good to ignore. We don't know how far this young man can go. In addition, he's a type of guy worth rooting for, and that is for certain. I just idolize Bron that much but if I'll pick another team I'd go with Luka's Grin

.

Playoffs is going to be different, Dallas Mavericks is already guaranteed with the playoff spot but they will be tested in the playoffs.
Luka alone can't make his team successful but what they showed this season is very impressive as they don't fully rely on Luka alone, I believe in them, they are full of young and hungry roster and I believe they will give a good fight of whatever teams they will play in the playoffs.

I read the news too, it didn't say that Zion will not play in the NBA, it's just a battle of lawsuit and there's no verdict on the case yet, so he can still do what he normally do, the bottom line of the news is all about money, it can be settled anyway if the camp of Zion will see in the trial period that they might lose the case, that's my opinion.

As I told yesterday, this was just about money.
Nothing about the suspension.
These are agencies that are playing tag for Zion.

I'm really concerned if this season will continue this year or not, because what if the whole team has been infected and didn't recover until the appointed time of when they resume the game back. I think it's so hard to think about that right now because to resume the game we need to see the 30 teams be complete or else the NBA games as we know will never be the same this season.

I was thinking the same considering there's some superstars who are attending the protest in some parts of america. There is a huge chance they'll catch the virus from the crowd of people in the protest.
Anyway, lets leave it to the NBA management on how they would handle cases like these. Rest assured, they are making every step to get rid of catching the virus.

You have to realize NCAA and NBA are two different companies and organizations, just because you did something on NCAA doesn't mean you will be suspended on NBA as well.

At least thats how it should be, could NCAA sue you? Sure why not they care try that, however NBA is totally different and not related to them at all, so if you even used drugs, cheated your way in, got millions,

none of it should matter because in the end you basically got over it and no longer there, you are now in NBA and thats a different place and if you are doing everything by the book for NBA that means you should not be suspended in NBA for something everybody does in college. Whats next? Suspending an NBA superstar because he cheated on a college exam?

Everything is possible as mainstream medias can ruined his career knowing how this reporters can damage his name placing
unpleasing reports in regards to this matter.
But you are correct in terms of this two organizations they've got different rules and since He already playing inside NBA the
verdict can be different.

The matter is how he's legal team settle this from medias and how they will protect his name in order for him to keep his place
to this league, He proves he's value with how he played
even he only got short period from this season but it's value the team after he started to play.
surely the franchise will value that.

Now almost every star players have their problems to resume playing this season. I guess he won't gonna play again this season, they are better to rest him off until next season to fully condition him like Curry and Thompson. Lilliard and the others who don't want to play again should take some intense practice to further improve their skills to give us the best of their version next year.

Too early to say Zion won't play once NBA resumed. If you read the shared news, I don't see how's that case will able to suspend Zion from coming back to play.

And for Lillard and the Blazers, they should play. NBA is a professional league and a player or team can't just say, "we don't want to play".

Who's the other star players that have a problem playing this season? Aldrige? Yes, injured. But the majority of other stars will play.

How the hell do you think those big colleges sign the big stars all the time while the best colleges and nearest schools can't? Of course they get paid, they get paid like crazy all the time and that is always done under the radar. A superstar NFL or NBA potential player usually comes and goes from and to the school with a superb looking fast car, a college kid can't afford that, his family doesn't have that kind of money neither, so how did he somehow got that car? Working at mcdonalds?

I think if the schools are making profit from these kids, they should also be paying them as well, these kids are going out there working hard for the school to get full ticket sales and TV rights and jersey sales and so forth making millions of dollars as the coaches make over 5 million dollars in salary while the kids get paid zero.

Is Andrew Wiggins underrated?
There is no hype about him even if he was a number 1 pick and even in Minnesota.
Sorry, I just bump into something that is why I am asking here.
https://ca.nba.com/news/whats-next-for-andrew-wiggins-with-the-golden-state-warriors/tzxotartuos119qvlsn2vv4u4
I just don't get it. He is paid handsomely and yet we don't see a lot of coverage about him even before.
But KAT did.

Will he be a part of the new splash brothers? Wink

I know the feeling of shooting the ball after creating more muscle.
It's like the ball is the size of a tennis and the weight is so light.

LeBron James ready to rescue the NBA - and vice versa

Quote

The sport's box office king is healthy, hyper and, last we saw, still serving up quality basketball. Therefore, this is the tonic for a league and its network partners looking to recoup staggering losses from a four-month delay, and for legions of fans starved for live basketball drama instead of a documentary from a foregone era. And it is a tonic for a 35-year-old legend who knows this could be his best or only chance to win a title with his third team.

Let us not jump to conclusions about the Spurs.
Difficulty: Hardcore/Nightmare
But, a chance is still there for them.
If other teams lose their game and Spurs is still at their best then a snatch for the 8th seed could come true.

Let's jump on the conclusion so fans won't expect. We have to accept the fact that Spurs is now done for this season. Even I don't want that to happen but I don't want to expect anymore. Even the legendary Phil Jackson coaches them this season, only their morale will be a boost but it's not enough when they are competing against the monster of the West.

Memphis Grizzlies will hold the 8th spot, that's for sure. It's now a matter if upset will happened once when they faced the 9th spot for the last playoffs spot.

I still have my hopes up.
DeRozan is still a threat and there is White. Same inconsistency but what if the good part of that inconsistency came out? The will to win the 8th seed.

Great! Pelicans still have chance to make in the playoffs. Cheesy

Yes, they have a chance to make it on the playoffs.

Zion should stay healthy. Like I said a few pages back, Pelicans is almost out of the playoffs discussion before then suddenly they able to join the closed competition at the bottom when Zion comes back from his injury.

Yeah, this kid brings Pelicans in a great spot after he comes back from injury.
I have a great feeling that Pelicans can make in the playoffs(don't know how, but just a hunch).

This will be a good start for the young Pels if they can chase the 8th spot. Making to the playoffs would be their first step to become a dominant team in the future, I mean these team are young and talented, all hungry to win a championship. I hope they'll keep intact for the next 5 years. Maybe they could look for a dominant big man, and this team would be invincible in the coming years.
4 games behind the 8th seed, still got a lot of chances there, as long they won't lose a game.

For now, there is a 100% chance that the season will continue this year - as long as everything is properly set up and all teams are ready.

Obviously, that "what if" scenario is part of the discussion on their table. Surely, there is a plan just in case that "what if" happened and teams should always be up-to-date about the health status of the whole organization.

We should have just to stay positive, not with the virus, but to hope that no more virus-related cases will happen within the NBA.

I don't really know what weed has to do with basketball though, I get that you shouldn't take steroids, sure that looks like it is risky and it could actually even kill you if you are not careful, but how does weed make you a better player? I believe if you smoked weed you could actually be worse, so why is it banned? Whats the actual reason behind it? Is it legality? Because, it is legal in many states now.

No reason at all, not even in basketball.

It is just their hobby(probably). I had heard once you try drugs just for once, the addiction will really hit you so hard(just like cigarettes that hard to stop using it). Maybe because it is legally, I guess.

Klay Thompson and Michael Beasly as well when we are talking about people being high. I think it is in the eyes, that relaxed semi-closed eye thingy make you think about them using weed, at least that is what actors look like when they smoke weed in Hollywood movies, so we saw so many people with those eyes that whenever someone has that type of look we assume they smoke weed.

Plus some of them actually got suspended for weed Cheesy

. So, that is direct evidence. I don't really know what weed has to do with basketball though, I get that you shouldn't take steroids, sure that looks like it is risky and it could actually even kill you if you are not careful, but how does weed make you a better player?
