NBA Regular Season & Playoffs 2019-20 Thread

It's good to see a top sports organisation show that kind of responsibility.

On a positive note, got this email from Warriors tonight

“ You will receive a credit to your account for the season ticket variable price of tomorrow night’s game, which will be applied towards the first installment of your 2020-21 season ticket renewal. As the full scope of current cancellations are clarified, you will be credited in accordance for any lost games.

3/12 Brooklyn Variable Price Per Ticket: $170”

Obviously selfish but I’ll take it since majority of tickets have been selling way below face value all season

Admirable from Zion but it's fcuking embarrassing that the 19 year old kid is doing that while the billionaire owner stays silent.

Rather than setting up a new thread just wondering is their anywhere decent to buy nba jerseys? Looking at picking up a pelicans top or 2 will I just have to go nba store? Cheers

Yeah think it's better to just do it on the nba store i guess. I'm dublin by the way should have said. Thanks anyways

If the season is scrapped, does anyone know if they still intend to award MVP, DPOTY etc? It feels like enough of the season has been played to be able to give out the awards.

Doesn't seem to have been something that has been brought up, they seem more interested in organising 2K and HORSE tournaments.

I guess if you're scrapping the season, it's somewhat consistent to scrap the awards aswell but that would be a shame. Hopefully when the HORSE extravaganza is over, they might clarify.

They aren't going to clarify individual awards over the season.

No player will want an award for an incomplete season as it will always have an asterisk associated with it.

You're likely right about whether they'll award it, but I think the players who would win in this scenario would get over it quickly enough. They've already played more games than in the 99 lockout and not far off the games played in the most recent one.

Totally different scenarios in my opinion. With the lockouts they knew before the season started that they had X number of games that they were all playing, a season being called now and awarding individual trophies when you can't award a winning team will lead to them never being viewed the same.

It's not totally different, it's somewhat different but arguably not different enough to scrap the whole thing in my opinion. The players were aware the 80% of the season played to date makes up the vast majority of the sample size for the awards. Take ROTY, Zion might have done something crazy over the remainder of the season that puts him in contention for the award but what about Ja Morant and what he's done over the season. No award ceremony seems more unfair to Ja than Zion.

I thought only the first episode is out on Netflix, or are people watching through other means?

The first two episodes are in Netflix. There has only been two episodes broadcast in the US.

This :cool:

I was tempted to wait till the whole lot was out and binge watch the entire series, but the temptation to watch on release was stronger long wait for the next one now though

Not sure where to watch European basketball, but would be surpised if sky or Eurosport don't carry it.

Yeah I'd call European basketball obscure, NBA is global.
