Jesus, the NBA preseason starts tonight?

[choslamshe]

Did they take 5 days off?

A lot of paper teams to assess but wow did the Atlanta Hawks ever add some pieces. Should be an exciting team if they can put it together

 

[Drnkyourmlkshk]

You think Gallinari, Rondo and Bogdanovich give them enough to make the playoffs?
Gallo and Rondo are gonna have to stay healthy and Bogdanovich is gonna have a hard time finding minutes in that system unless he can grow 5 inches.
Improved roster but its gonna rely on Trae being willing to pass up 40 foot pull ups to give guys good looks.

Curious to see how Brooklyn does. Are Iriving and Durant just playing out the end of their days like their on the blacktop or are they serious to contend? What has Nash have in store for everybody? Hope he doesn't replicate his Phoenix playing style days.

Clippers should easily destroy the Lakers. Decent size number to lay but if Clippers fail to win by 2B digits I'll be stunned

I'm taking the Nets Under their win total, there's no way to know what type of chemistry this team will have, Kyire is a very talented player, but not a leader, we also don't know how long it takes KD to round into form, and players that are already there will now have to adjust their games, guys who were first and second options, now become third and fourth options, throw in a rookie head coach and I think Under is a solid play

I dont dislike your thought process but that tv fine for resting stars hurt your bet some. Theyll score a ton but goodluck finding anyone playing D especially early imo. Durant has confirmed that they've discussed him playing the 5... insane

Clever move by some sports books to book OVER/UNDER win percentages, not win totals.

Makes sense given the uncertain nature of COVID-19 and the on-again, off-again shutdown/lockdown mandates.

The NBA "plans" to have each of its 30 teams play 72 games as opposed to 82 games.

ALL books should do this for all sports

That will eliminate having to play 160 in MLB or similar in other sports

these cockroaches should play in China, I dont know anybody who likes watching this trash.

If you think NBA regular season games are meaningless, take a peek at some of the preseason action during the pandemic.

Yikes!

The 2020-21 regular season will tip off on Tuesday, Dec. 22.

 

[John Kelly]

Each NBA team will play a minimum of two and a maximum of four games as part of the league’s 49-game preseason schedule.

Every team will play at least one home game and one road game in the preseason.

4-1 to the dogs on opening night. All s/u winners.

 

[railbird]

i dont think they should be allowed to play, they are too reckless with covid. We need more helicopter crashes

The Chicago Bulls no-showed last night against the Houston Rockets after getting bet up from 1.5 to 4.5 at South Point.

The two teams will "run it back" tomorrow at the same site (United Center).

James Harden not yet practicing, let alone playing.

That was a special brand of defense I saw from Chicago last night. It looked like the matador defense was employed.

 

[IWishIWasAPro]

Harden is a piece of shit. Has been for quite some time now.

 

[Heim]

Lakers really looked good last night especially Schroder, Harrell and Tucker. Tucker really has potential too
bad he won't get any minutes.

 

[Heim]

Loved the point spread hi-jinks last night in Laker game. Spread 3.5/4 Lakers. Lakers up three PHO fouls with 1.8
in pre-season!? Lakers win by 5.

Patrick McIrish needed the Suns +4.

Yikes!
