Chinese CBA to restart June 20.
No fans.
Teams divided into two cities.
I think the idea is to finish the regular season and go to playoffs.

Some teams will have their US and foreign players, others won't.
Some foreign players have been practicing with teams for weeks already.
For the most part the American players dominate, while the Chinese shoot 3's and foul.  Not having your foreign guys will be quite a handicap.  Usually that means minus your two or three best players.  Only a few Chinese players -- Yi Jian Lian primarily -- at that level.

Maybe some more American players will come to China (virus-wise it is very safe here, much more so than the USofTrump).  Maybe they'd need charter flights(?)

I lived in the NYC metro area late 60s-early 70s and as a hoops fans had fun watching the Knicks-Bullets battles as the Celts were retooling.

Those were wars that the knicks usually won.

So fucking dumb it's beyond words

I'm sure you know zilch about Chinese professional basketball.

In a typical CBA game, 60% of the shots are 3-pointers.  Been that way for a decade or two.  I find it very boring, and unfortunately, it's where the NBA is headed.

Aside from the foreign players going one on however many, there's some pick and roll, but usually intended for drive and kick action.   Some fast break play.  But mostly the CBA game is designed to generate 3 point shots.  While the foreign guards are allowed to create whatever they want, including crazy shots.  And the foreign Bigs post up and bull their way to the rim.  Defense is weak and anyone inside gets clubbed.  3's and fouls.  It's a limited dull form of hoops, imo.

Your opinion on the subject likely isn't worth shit.

856 three point attempts

2396 overall fg attempts

Thus yes.  Your 60% is you once again being full of steamed dumpling

Fucking assclown.

[bodiddley]

I should have said that in a Chinese game up to 60% of the shots are 3 pointers.  (first thing I look at in a CBA boxscore is if half the shots or more were 3's).

Also, I'd estimate that close to 60% of the Chinese shots are 3-pointers.  It's the foreign G's who go to the rack and the foreign Bigs who post up or get putbacks.  They account for the most of the 2's.

Since suddenly you're capable of research and links, get back to me on that.

Don't know if it was intentional, or if it matters, but you chose the one team with a high-volume 2-point shooting Chinese star -- Yi Jian Lian. 

Otherwise, I'm really sick of you, because you are a shitty person.
Fucking Trump supporter.  That says it all.

I have a pooper scooper for Kiid’s ashes around here somewhere...

People that matter to me disagree with you, Bo.  Be good now.

And who are those "people"?

heh

PS. Chico still killed grandma.

DeMarcus Cousins, asked Napear his thoughts on the Black Lives Matter

https://nypost.com/2020/06/03/nba-voice-grant-napear-opens-up-on-all-lives-matter-firing/

The response was "All Lives Matter".

Chris Webber and Matt Barnes quickly weighed in and now Grant has been let go.

A white man who benefitted from privilege his whole life claims he did not know that "All Lives Matter" meant something sinister.

I find that hard to believe. It means he has been purposefully hiding from reality. Maybe watching too much Fox news.

But you'd have to be really out of touch to be living in America, working in a mostly black league, and not know the dog whistles.

PS. Phil Mushnick claims a week ago All Lives Matter would've been an ok response.

These days you never know when you’re a goner. You never know if your career and deeds — good deeds, well-intended deeds and honest work — will be hijacked by fringe lunatics or the merely wishful to publicly paint you as what they want you to be, hope you are or read online that you definitely are.

Thus you become a racist, because that’s a quick, effective substitute for reasonable, civil dialogue and for dealing with certain clear, present and often unpopular truths.

So the easiest, safest way to protect your career is to pander to those with whom you disagree, ignore what you can’t miss or simply run away.

Grant Napear, 32 years the TV voice of the Sacramento Kings, is a goner this week, fired from his gig as a Sacramento sports talk host and “resigned” as the TV voice of Kings TV broadcast because he’s a racist. Perhaps. There’s no evidence. But a knee-jerk reaction from easily frightened bosses (see: Doug Adler, former ESPN tennis analyst) is all it takes.

Set up by a former King, DeMarcus Cousins, who Napear had criticized for chronic malfeasance in disservice to the Kings, Napear responded to Cousins’ tweeted question about the Black Lives Matter movement following the alleged murder of George Floyd beneath the knee of a Minneapolis cop with a suspect record.

Like Hilary Clinton and presumably millions before him, Napear was naïve to the new presumption that “All Lives Matter” is now considered by some to be a racist response to the BLM movement. Seriously.

I remain unfamiliar with the preferred, non-racist response. But until this week, All Lives Matter seemed a sensible, sensitive sentiment shared by right-minded people.

FUCK YOU TOO MUSHNICK.

It has been known for a while.

White man defends white man should be the title of Mushnick's shit post.

lol, I'm surprised he even poked his head back out of the bunker after shitting his diapers with antifa & Floyd

[bodiddley]

Admittedly, I haven't watched many CBA games in the past say 5 years, as it's boring basketball to me.  Sometimes I just a catch a random 4Q here and there.

On most CBA teams, a foreign star such as Jimmer or Marshon Brooks gets to be Harden-level ball dominant.  And that is certainly accurate.  Most of the Chinese players are 3-point specialists (and rebounder/foulers).  And defense is lax.  And the NBA trend the past 10 years is decidedly in that direction (more 3's and less D is not my kind of basketball).

But I did exaggerate the CBA 3-dominance.  Looks like league average is most teams shoot about 40% of their FGA's as 3's.  Which is a lot.  But one-on-one (or two) play from a foreign star and 3-point jacking from the others isn't a good product, imo.

In the politics forum, Kiid praised Robert E. Lee as a great American.

I can find the exact quote if the search function cooperates, but that was basically the entire post.  General Robert E. Lee was a great American according to kiid.

I guess Kiid favors racists who kill hundreds of thousands of Americans and have a distorted notion of Christianity.  And of course we know what it means these days to praise the traitor and slaver Lee.  At least kiid has stopped quoting Trump for now.  If Trump plunges further, I'm sure we'll hear that Trump was never kiid's guy ...
