2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

I never wanted him so I would have said something.

Oubre is a talented player and younger than Ariza.

Pretty simple.

Oubre's trade value is similar (but less than) what Julius Randle's was last year. Minimal.

Nobody wants to trade for an impending RFA unless they are willing to pay him. I believe Ariza has more trade value to be honest.

We'll, this is turning into an asswhoopin...

Ball with 14 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds, and 5 steals.

did I say this was JUST an asswhoopin...?

Lot of players playing well....but the one that I like the most is Ball with 14 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds, and 5 steals.

Have 2 players ever had a triple double for the same team during the same game?

Might be history here, folks.

Sure, I get that. I guess my main point is the kid is just 23 and has started what.....30-40 games during his career and played like 20mpg......if he ever gets a starting gig and plays 33-34mpg......he could be a really good player one day.

Ok, thanks. I can't remember watching a game where I have seen it and I have been watching basketball for about 36-37 years.

I mean he doesn't suck but he also is not currently living up to the expectations for the 2nd overall pick

First for the Lakers since Cap and Magic did it in 1982.

First in the nba since Kidd and Vince Carter in 2007

He's too inconsistent. He's very capable of having games like this regularly but just doesn't

Yep and that's concerning considering where he was selected. He will come back and play like crap for the next 4 or 5 games....or maybe he is playing like this because he heard Rondo will be back soon

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Hey @WiggyRuss how many Cavs players have had a trip dub along with lebron?

 

[DJ]

We have struggled on the road, they aren't a good to great team but for us to win like this is nice.

Could very well be. But he's still very young.

He also had his minutes cut after they brought in Rondo. 28mpg this season.

His per-36 minute stats are similar to last season.....

10.7ppg, 7.6apg, and 7.3rpg
10.4ppg, 6.1pg, and 6.4rpg

And the decrease in apg could be attributed to the fact James has the ball in his hands a lot.
