Official 2019-2020 NBA Thread

I don't know if we ever see another 82 game regular season though. If the season is shortened, I could see a play in tournament being part of the compromise. If there's 82 games in the regular season, I don't see the point.
 
Chauncey Billups has shifted his interest from the front office to coaching during his time in broadcasting and has had discussions with Ty Lue about joining him as an associate head coach for the 20-21 season.
Lue is considered likely to be hired this offseason as a head coach.
Billups turned down an offer to join the front office of the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2017.
For Billups, the opportunity to apprentice under Lue could put him on a fast-track to become a head coach.

The NBA is back in the Tyronn Lue business

The 2016 NBA champ will be in high demand on the coaching market, and he could be bringing another title-winning point guard with him.

TNT will be without four of arguably its top five NBA announcers when it begins its coverage of as many as 29 first-round games on Tuesday.

Here’s why: Marv Albert, as many readers know, and TNT mutually agreed he would sit out the NBA re-start because at 79, he’s in an age group especially vulnerable to COVID-19.

Kevin Harlan and Reggie Miller, who were ubiquitous on TNT seeding games, were given the first round off so they wouldn’t need to spend two consecutive months in the bubble. They’ll be back for later rounds. We’ll miss Harlan’s exuberant call in the first round.


Ian Eagle, who teamed with Stan Van Gundy on TNT seeding games, is unavailable to Turner during the first round because he’s also the TV voice of the Brooklyn Nets, who play Toronto in the first round.

So Van Gundy - during the first round of postseason - instead will work with Spero Dedes, the steady CBS NFL/college basketball announcer who has done NBA games for Turner in past years.

Chris Webber, left off TNT’s schedule for seeding games, has been summoned to the bubble to work first-round games with TNT staffer and Milwaukee Brewers TV voice Brian Anderson.

TNT also is using Pelicans velvet-voiced play-by-player Joel Meyers (the former NBC NFL announcer) and Golden State Warriors announcer Bob Fitzgerald to call first-round games, with former Heat guard Jim Jackson and ex-NBA point guard Greg Anthony as game analysts.

Maybe we have different definitions of what a casual is. IMO a casual ain't watching a Saturday afternoon game between Portland and Memphis. Tv ratings might say otherwise during the bubble but ain't much going on during the pandemic. They wouldn't know Ja Morant from Ja Rule. They wouldn't know or care about Nurkic. They wouldn't know who JJJ is. Casuals only watch big games to see the top players in the league. Why do you think most primetime games involve the same teams over and over? Bcuz that is who casuals identify with.
