2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Mecca]

Sure, injuries happen.....but we had more than our fair share and not many teams lose their starting and backup PG's......I doubt most teams even have to use their 3rd PG much.

Fuq outta here with this...lol

Didn't the Rockets have injuries?

Paul, Capela and Gordon?

Are they in 11th place?

Clippers?

We lose our #1 and #2 every single year to injury or trade.

Where are they, 7th?

You telling me that SGA and Shamet are better than Ingram and Kuz?

Indiana this year without Olidipo?

Top 4.

Heat without Dragic?

8th seed.

Celtics without Kyrie and Gordon last year?

ECF.

If you are still confused about Why the Pelicans prefer the Celtics youngsters over the LAkers, them making the ECF and you guys playing for ping pong balls should clear it up.

Hahaha none of that matters if he is winning. Had the worst season of his career record-wise and it was bc of the Lakers, lack of FO, lack of coaching. One of the worst team makeups and offseason that I have ever seen surrounded a top player. You couldn't do worse if you tried.
Everyone in the past always talked about how the Cavs didn't do enough to keep Lebron, didn't get the players at one time, etc....that isn't even close to how bad the FO has been for the Lakers. The Cavs spent for Lebron and actually got a FA. YOU ARE THE LAKERS and your recent drafts have been so bad you can't trade young players and picks for a top player. What a joke, really a joke of a franchise presently. I would be embarrassed to be a Laker fan right now

amen....Cavs did better with no cap room and no assets than LA did with enough room for 2 max guys and the lure of LA.

oh, and note to Mecca...

seeing Captain Marvel tonight with Mrs CL...

#nofreakinspoilers!

 

[Mecca]

can't dispute any of this...

it's what most of us said from the git-go...

I mean, how many teams have Lance and Rondo been on the last 4 years?

Rondo....Sacto, Dallas, Nola, Lakers....

Lance....

Bees, Clippers, Griz, Pelicans, Pacers....

There is a reason guys like that are available.

Sometimes it's lack of talent.

Other times, it's what's between their ears.

Me too.

This and most people will because they know this season they weren't winning shit. It's his "red-shirt" season......LOL.

a "red shirt" season in LeBron's last as the best player in the league is just so incredibly misguided I cannot even fathom it.

 

[Montalban]

What is going on with the Warriors and lakers lately? What has happened to the western conference?

Poor attitude. The idea that they deserve to win rather than having to earn it.

 

[DJ]

I think it's silly.

Zubac is a project who you were likely going to lose in free agency.

So, why not address a need?

Outside of Charles Barkley, I don't recall anyone thinking the LAkers were not a playoff Team.

I know I thoroughly expected them to go on a run and end up as the 7 or 8th seed.

So, Muscala would have helped them way more in the post season than Zubac.

What can be give you that Mcgee can't?

I love to troll the LAkers.

But, that's just stupid.

This. It's why I love you. You troll us but are fair.

And Lebron said he wanted smart players.

If you recall I said a little while ago this would be the excuse by some for Magic.

Glad Friday is almost here......going to visit pop and Checky.


Boxing on Saturday, he has a huge bag of tortilla chips and I'm bringing this bomb ass guacamole salsa.....and he just got some beer from Costco. It's going to be a great time.

 

[Mecca]

People are just piling on.

Zubac played great over the span of a month.

Did those folks happen to notice his foul-plagued 1year and 11 months prior to that?

This is how you get duped by guys like Biyombo.

Fucker had one great playoff series after not even getting his rookie deal extended and turned that into a 80 million dollar overpay.

Definitely a lot of smoke, probably just another damn rumor.

A one and a two and Zeitler?

They can get fucked for that price.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Agree but he had less in 2007 and 2015 Finals.

He would not have made the finals with that 07 team in today's East or West. 15? I mean yea...by the time Kyrie went down....in the finals.

It's not just a matter of overall talent as you know also....those guys in 07 a lot of them had familiarity and or were vets.

And then they got slaughtered by the Spurs.

OK, but we are comparing them to the Lakers who are still in the reg. season and losing to teams like Memphis, Phoenix and NO.

At the beginning of the season I could squint my eyes hard enough and see a team capable of competing on that level but obviously as it has turned out it is not the case. And again look at what Cleveland sans LeBron was doing even recently.

Now I just think the team is done. The LeBron injury and the Davis stuff killed that squad.

This is fair, but you get the Cleveland team was built to play WITH Lebron so tough to win without him?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Hence the Beasley signing
