NBA proposes 78-game regular season, in-season tournament

The NBA has sent a proposal to teams calling for a 78-game regular season, along with an in-season tournament for all teams and a reseeding of the playoffs when the field is cut to the final four clubs.

Ergh! It is difficult to understand yet. Been reading it back and forth and it won't sink in my little brain. Grin

But this will be implemented in 2021-2022 season so I guess we should just watch how the changes will be.
Anyway, it is still a proposal and not been approved yet by the player association.
We might able to understand it more once they use it in game.
Just like how they are changing rules with the time management every 12 minutes of the quarter like when a running time will be even without the ball or when it will stop.

Giannis is good this season. They are my favorite team to win the league. If they can do it this time that will open new doors for them for next years.

I watched that game against the Lakers and all the commentator could say was Wow! Oh! Nice! What! Are you kidding me?! Grin

I don't know the name of the guy but he was sitting next to Marv Albert.
Those 3 points of Giannis are like daggers to the Lakers.
KCP cannot stop him too. They better look for another way to stop that guy.

Giannis looks like unstoppable that game because the Lakers seems like they did not give it all. I also noticed that LeBron James was just playing with their system and not minding if they would win or lose.

Are you saying that Lebron James deliberately took a dive or doesn't want to win?

KCP did the best he can, but guarding him one on one? Of course, he can't stop Giannis, I mean almost everyone can't really stop him at this point. Maybe Lakers are trying to experiment something but using KCP here, but for obvious reason it didn't work out.

There really are times that LBJ can't play like what we're expecting him to see. Giannis is a consistent player and this is the reason why he's gathering more fans each year. Times of struggle for a good team really comes, it's not yet the finals so they probably just given the game or it's really their poor performance which is basically coming to a team.

I loved watching pelicans versus warriors, that game was a lot more entertaining than people realize it is.

I know we love watching the super stars that are making insane moves and we love watching teams that are candidates for championship but in the end pelicans are bunch of kids that got together and been playing for a while and warriors are bunch of almost g-league level talent players with some decent NBA level players thrown in together and the game came out to be amazing.

There was no decent defense I can tell you that and I know some people like defense (I do as well) but there was no need for that much of a great defense, it was obvious that teams wouldn't be making as many shots as some other teams even while not guarded amazingly so it became more of a "lets see who sucks most" type of deal and both teams gave their %110 into the game which made it entertaining.

Well he was already good last season winning his first MVP. The difference is that he improved his three point shooting this season that's why they had a good 18 games winning streak.

And I would say that the win against the Lakers is a good sign that they really have the mindset and the attitude as compare to last year. Perhaps they can go to the finals this year.

He is improving in 3 pt department. He is taking more 3 points and making more of them. He is now 33% in 3 pt percentage. That is quite decent. A little more improvement and he will be deadly. I will still be a tough competition for them for the Finals spot but I hope they do make it to the finals. It is either the Bucks or the Celtics for me to come out from the East.

That's true. As he is improving and being able to score from all positions he is more complete player.
I wonder if he is going to keep this pace till the end of the season - at least the regular one and then push hard for the playoffs and finals. He should need some games to get rest as well.

If we bet on Bucks we will only get +550 odds,which I think is still risky, if we wait for bucks to make it to the finals, they might still be an underdog if they'll face the Lakers or Clippers. Would you agree with my opinion?

I don't get it though.
Why is GSW there before Timberwolves?
It is just hard to believe.

But look at Dallas over there. Still at +5000 although there is a lot of hype about them.
Maybe it is a great time to bet with them already while have a larger money line. Grin

Just for a jackpot game. Grin

Lakers lose but that does not mean we are doubting the Lakers, it's just one game and this is just a regular season, in the playoffs if they will meet again, it could be a different story. Lakers is still number 1 in ranking in the west, they are in 2 losing streak but they'll surely bounce back.

Luckily they will not meet in the playoffs. If ever, they will meet in the Finals.

Quote from: Ranly123 on December 20, 2019, 06:17:17 AM

I just can't accept this Lakers defeat. Why in the world Davis played a lot of minutes against LeBron. Of course Davis is the best scorer in the Lakers uniform but it is LeBron giving the biggest impact to the team and limiting his minutes is what I don't like about this game.

Lebron is 35 years old. He cannot play the same minutes when he was in CAVS. It is good that they have lessened his minutes. This will have a better impact in the playoffs. Giving Lebron more minutes will just exhaust and risk him getting injured. It is just one loss anyway. They are still at the top in the west.

I agree this is just one game and the lakers dont have much to worry about. Health at the point of playoffs will play a big key. There are a lot of games left to play so it's too early to worry about one game. In the nfl maybe because of the minimal amount of games, but nba is a marathon. Just 1 game against 2 great teams and the bucks came out ahead in this one

Tonight I like the heat as 7.5 dogs to the 76ers. Heat already down one game should be ready to play. 76ers play a slower game if the heat can get them to speed it up a little they might even have a shot to sneak a win in here.

You might as well want to check the injury report of the Heat line up.
these are the players that are out for tonight's game.

Quote

D. Jones Jr.
J. Johnson
D. Waiters

all out indefinitely.

J. Winslow
G. Dragic
U. Haslem

If Embiid will be out tonight.. then maybe that would help increase the chance of the Heat to win.
With the injuries listed above, do you think the current available line up of the Heat can cover that spread?

Heat played nicely in that game. The heat just matchup well against the 76ers. The speed at which the heat plays favors them and the 76ers cant keep up. Even with those players out I like the heat moving forward. They get no love from vegas on the spreads for some reason.

Giannis played like a crazy person. I mean he was pulling up from Stephen curry range and dude managed to not only make those shots and went in (by the way even with all that range he only made 5 3's) but more importantly he became a "threat" from so far outside that he made Anthony Davis bite on his three point fakes to go in and dude was going in anyway until he became a three point threat, now that he can actually make those you can't leave him open neither and that means his offense just took a whole another level.

Lakers versus Bucks doesn't look like Bucks is much better, it just looks like Lakers bench wasn't playing properly and that won't be the same if they meet in finals. In any case, it was a great entertaining game, I loved watching it.

Congrats to Bucks and the winning bettors out there. Lakers are not having a great time recently so I understand if some of you are doubting now Grin

I also don't know why. Maybe there's some strategy running on Frank's mind that we can't understand. But one thing is obvious, Davis alone can't stop raging Giannis along with his team. If there are more minutes that Lebron and AD teamed up then the result might not be miserable for them. However, that's not what happened so better luck next time, wharever reason they present, it's clear that Bucks outwit them

Bucks now have the good records among all the teams inside the league. As they defeated the best from the west Giannis able to survived the rally of Lakers good thing indeed that they've got a good lead from the first half, that's have them a comfortable edge and even the Lakers tried to catch-up they run out of time.

Now the Bucks are the strongest candidates for the 2019/2020 NBA championship. 3 more balls is a pretty far advantage I think against the Lakers. I predict the two teams will meet in the NBA finals. Both teams really deserve to be in the finals for this season. They are the most consistent team.

It was the bad start from the lakers squad that gives them the loss. james and davis started the first quarter with 1 of 11 shooting field goals. If they weren't down as much as 20 plus points they could have win the game. That is just one game anyway but it also gives the Milwaukee bucks as the best team in the league right now.
