2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

Honestly,

Indiana does not have the star power, but they are right there. They are least likely to win the East, but I would not be shocked if they beat 1 or 2 of these teams in the playoffs.

I can't see the Pacers beating two of those teams but I could definitely see them beating one of them.

They got him on a 1 year, 5 mil deal.

Low risk.

They had to add a Center after dealing Gortat, who was feuding with Wall.

He isn't helping on the floor, because he's gimp.

But, he isn't the problem child , locker room saboteur this go around.

Not to mentioned Dwight had a really good year in Charlotte last season. Dwight isnt the problem. As beal said, this been happening since he been on the wizards.

If the playoffs started today the Lakers would face Memphis.

I'll take it!

I could absolutely see anyone one of the top 4 teams in the East(Raptors, Celtics, Sixers, Bucks) winning in the East. It will really depend on how their teams come together and what players they bring in. IMO, there is a 0% chance that the Celtics or the Sixers will stand pay with their current rosters.

I would love for the Sixers to get either the other Morris twin in DC, or Ariza if the suns should buy him out.

I believe the Wizards have been the worst managed team in the league over the last 40 years. Squandered picks, horrific trades, bad hires in coaching and GM positions, they have it all.

lol

I don't which is funnier...

The fact that he thinks posting negative crap about your team is going to bother you when you've been more critical of them than anyone.

Or

That he apparently thinks that the Wizards having a bad owner somehow makes Dan G. a good one.

The way OSU has been playing? Michigan might win, 38-17.

yah its a "down year" for Ohio State.....defense isnt great....Bosa got hurt and isnt coming back.....

and they are still 10-1 and top 10 in the country.

Thats what happens when you have one of the best programs in the nation. Even your down years arent bad.

You see teams that used to be powerhouses like Texas, USC, Florida State, Miami, shitting all over themselves

There are only a precious few programs in college football that, year in and year out, are great.

Notre Dame and Michigan are having great years this year---- but those teams iwll both come and go--- will have good years and bad years.

OSU is basically never bad. There might be 3-4 college programs that are either on OSU's level or better. Alabama of course. Clemson is RIGHT NOW, but Clemson wont last for the long long haul.

Alabama is the best college football program in the nation in this modern era by a huge margin

tOSU is #2

Yeah I would be happy with any of those guys.

this Rams Chiefs game is nuts

Goff has had a nice game....my fantasy team was in the shitter at 2-4......but I am looking at my 5th straight win unless some crazy shit happens and getting to 7-4.....pretty cool

Fun game, and a good one for Sacto. This team is different from the recent run, @Bolts. Fun to see.

It got closer at the end than it should have been, but OKC has been playing great so it's a good win.

They play with more effort and energy this year than in recent years. After blowing a double digit halftime lead past seasons the team would usually fold up and lose. They'll still suffer some blowout losses to good/great teams especially on the road, but most young teams do. It sucks that they probably won't make the playoffs, but for now the Kings are headed in the right direction. Just don't fire the coach because Bagley doesn't play as much as other rookies.

My stance from a couple of weeks back still stands; blow that shit up until there's nothing left. Don't even worry about getting near equal value in any of the trades. Just take whatever scraps you can get and start fresh.

I mentioned that the Celtics had the same winning percentage with Kyrie playing as they did without him last year. He's an incredible talent but it is unclear to me whether he really is a net improvement to that team given his playing style.

I have literally been saying that exact thing his entire career.

He can single handedly win games for a team, but, I also feel like his talents would be far more valuable on a team that didn't have as much offensive fire power.

Yeah. Joerger is doing a great job. You would think they would have learned from the Mike Malone fiasco years ago. You don't fire a coach over petty differences when the team is playing this well.

Besides, given the track record of the FO, I am going to go out on a limb and say that joerger is right.
