NBA Regular Season 2020-21 | OT | Never Met a Ball I Didn't Like

I wonder if NBA would ever consider possibly streaming live games on Twitch. I honestly think there's a lot of money to be had there. NBA league pass is such shit. Turn off ads for subs, special emotes, tags etc.
also pleasantly surprised that they cut out all the commercials and I haven't seen any new ads in its place yet

They would need a media contract like the NFL. Amazon paid a pretty penny for the Thursday night games.
Bulls going to shock the world this season.
Billy Donovan - Coach of the Year
Zach LaVine - MVP
Patrick Williams - ROY
Coby White - Finals MVP

Not going to even make the playoffs
The chat element in illegal/twitch streams makes it feel more like an EVO event, which can greatly benefit even games that otherwise would be complete borefests. The classical format of sports broadcasting is outdated.
I feel like it would be mutually beneficial even without a deal. But yea realistically NBA would make them pay. I'd love to see it. At least test it out.
My totally not biased prediction:
MVP: Anthony Davis
MIP: Talen Horton-Tucker
Sixth Man: Montrez Harrell
Coach of the Year: Frank Vogel
Too bad we don't have a rookie this year.
ROTY: Deni Avdija

I see no reason for the Jazz to want that trade but hey stranger things have happened.
If they were real, they would have given us a 2001 Celtics game with Tommy on the mic.
Watching the Pistol Pete debut game. I gotta say, the pace of 70s basketball was something else. It feels like 6 seconds or less offense.
I wonder how the 90s and early to late 2000s slowed down the game so much?

I'm so ready
Do KD and kyrie fucking hate each other? Or will they win a championship this year, guaranteed?
All will be known by the end of the 1st quarter.
YA GOTTA LOVE IT
First quarter? Why are you taking so long?
I am going to declare the Nets the greatest team of all time after they take a 6-2 lead and the Lakers to be overrated bums when LeBron comes out slow and the Clippers take an early lead.
I think when it's time to negotiate the next media deal we'll see Twitch get 1 or 2 games a week (through Amazon). It just makes too much sense, especially when they were able to get NFL games (much more value per game since there are so few of them relative to the other big US leagues)
Mitchel is really their PG. Green is a bigger defender who can better defend wings while providing shooting while Curry is a backup PG who's an elite shooter who can replace most of what Clonley would produce on a 3 year team friendly deal.
both teams get a small win doesn't move the needle much for either but good enough
How can a educated fan make an awards list that doesn't have Alex Caruso on it?
Nets locker room gonna look like a cargo ship funnel afterwards 👀
As someone who wants to get back into watching the NBA, is Live TV ($60) the best option? I don't have cable, so I won't be able to watch Portland play, but I'm a transplant so it doesn't matter anyways.
Notice how I never included DPOTY and FMVP.
I don't need to include other awards that are locks for him.
KDs first miss tonight will be signs that he's washed on here lmao, I'm so happy nba and nba era is back baby
I don't understand Kyrie hate coming from anyone who's not an Celtics fan. He reminds me of Rodman. I loved Rodman.
KD getting 40 and 10 today. And I'm rooting for the Dubs.
God I hope so, I'd love to see someone bounce back from Achilles, it'd be a great thing for everyone to see
Thats a very articulate and educated answer.
You might be too intelligent for this thread.
I think Durant is on a mission to prove that he's the best player on the planet. Something the Lebron stans in the press wouldn't give him. Even though his team swept Lebron and he put 43 up in the biggest game.
Now, how could he be the best player on the planet when according to Warriors fans he was the 2nd best player on his own team?
Lauri AKA "The finnish Larry Legend" will dominate the paint alongside Wendell "Big Dick" Carter Jr.
Coby White tho will be in full Steph Curry 3.0 mode, he will be so good he will skip Steph Curry 2.0. He'll enter us in Valhalla.
I'm just glad we have a real coach for once. Hope Carter Jr. and Coby keep developing, I think they have tons of potential
The same way when Lakers fan say Lebron is the best player on his team. When Anthony Davis is hitting game winning shots and dominating.
Does anyone actually think KD was a better player than LeBron?
If you argued that Warriors team in their 2nd year is one of the best teams of all time I would agree but KD got to play 1 on 1 with that team. Thats a luxury the best player in the world pretty much never gets. The game is too easy for great offensive player if they get guarded like that and with the Warriors talent that was real the only thing you could do.

Shooting ability is the only thing that I give advantage to KD over LeBron.
It's really up to how you want to define "better." Ultimately I would lean toward LeBron, because he's probably the greatest playmaker in the history of basketball - but Kevin Durant might be the greatest scorer. He scales ridiculously well with volume, and his pure scoring threat makes life easier for is teammates. LeBron can always get his own bucket, but its his basketball IQ and passing which set him apart.
Ultimately I think it's splitting hairs because you'll never be able to assess them in a vacuum, but it is fun to think about.
Here's my predictions:
MVP: Kevin Durant
Comeback player of the year: Boogie Cousins
DPOY: Anthony Davis
ROY: Deni Advija
Coach of the year: Stephen Silas
Finals MVP: Kyrie Irving
Team predictions:
Best regular season record: Nets
Finals: Nets over Lakers 4-1
ECF: Nets over Heat 4-2
WCF: Lakers over Houston 4-3
Biggest disappointment Eastern conference: Bucks
Biggest disappointment Western conference: Suns/Clippers
Biggest surprise Eastern Conference: Wizards make playoffs
Biggest surprise Western Conference: Rockets
Player predictions:
Harden stays in Houston. The Rockets surprise this year with top 4 seed.
Kawhi will become frustrated with the Clippers. Joins the Lakers next year.
CP3 will be an bad fit for the Suns.
Gobert/Mitchell will fall apart for Utah. One will leave.
