2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

It is a joke dude.

Unlike you, I am not going to start a war over semantics.

But, any of the 2 dozen posts you have made gushing over Kyrie's scoring ability could be interpreted as such. Scoring is the most valuable skill in the NBA, hands down, but it all matters. And you know that. Even when it doesn't fit your daily narrative.

are you drunk? wtf are you even talking about

u made some asinine comment- i said it was stupid unsupported bullshit- and then you basically admit your comment was stupid unsupported bullshit.

YAY!!! win for you! lol

i suppose it is 5 o'clock somewhere. lol.

Cleveland Cavs would have won 5 straight Championships if they drafted Klay Thompson over Tristan Thompson.

Discuss...

honestly, my major "what if" is "what if" LeBron would have put winning in front of his ego- signed long term the offseason before last when the Cavs brought them a done-deal for Love for George as long as LeBron committed (since they would ahve to give up multiple firsts long into the future), and smoothed things over with Kyrie instead of "sonning" him.

Id like to think LeBron, George, Kyrie, with a supporting cast of TT, Korver, Osman, etc. would be right there with GSW as favorites this year and take over as favorites going forward after the inevitable break up of GSW very soon.

The Love-PG done deal was the first fucking in a long string of fuckings. That was Gilbert’s fault if I remember correctly though, right?

well Gilbert and LeBron.

Gilbert for firing Griffin basically---- LeBron because the Pacers wanted multiple un-protected firsts, and the Cavs would not give them unprotected firsts without a commitment from LeBron, as they did not want to get into a Brooklyn Nets situation.

If LeBron would not have been such a dick to Kyrie (and trust me i know Kyrie has his own faults as well), the Cavs very easily could have LeBron, George, Kyrie signed up long term---- and still have like TT, Osman, Korver etc. supporting cast

that seems like a much more plausible "what if" than drafting Klay- as no one had Klay going that high in the draft, and if Klay is drafted, they likely never get the pick that became Wiggins etc....it would start a chain reactions in "what ifs" that really couldnt be un-wound.

I made a joke making fun of you dude.

And it was funny too.

Are you saying that you haven't posted about "Kyrie's amazing scoring ability" and how scoring is by far the most important skill in the NBA? Have you not made those claims?

Because on the last page, you just tried to minimize Kuzma's value because "all he does is score".

Well guess what? 3 years ago when I made my Kyrie comments that you STILL come back to, that was true for him also.

wtf are you talking about? i said the EXACT same fucking thing in the comment i made to you about Kuzma's value...can you read?

go back and look- in that SAME post where i compliment his value- i make the SAME exact comment i make in the post you quoted

that kuzma is a medicore to poor rebounder and a bad defender- but a very good offensive player.

your analytical/critical thinking skills are very sub par- but thats not a surprise.

Does it seem like the top teams are losing a lot more frequently to the bottom feeders than usually happens this year?

 

[msgkings322]

That's because there's more parity. There aren't really more than 2-3 really bad teams, and every year even those guys get a win or two vs the big boys.

But yes I noticed it too

Maybe. The Suns have won @Milwaukee, @Boston, San Antonio, Dallas x2, and Denver. Honestly it feels like the Suns play closer games vs. +.500 teams than they do bad teams.

the Suns have talent- its just a young team without much leadership.

They are going to be really good a couple years from now ESPECIALLY if they hit the jack pot and get like Barrett in the draft

Barrett/Booker, Ayton..i mean holy shit......

its just gonna take some time- and they are gonna have to add at least 2-3 vets that can bring the young guys along

I would be so excited if I was a Suns fan for all of this losing to start paying off.

Its going to start paying off soon if you ask me.

If I was the Suns id use some of those extra picks to clear salary, use this last high lotto pick at adding one more major talent, sign a couple really solid vets that can guide the young guys, then offf you go.

Pat McCaw not being able to swindle a pick away from the Cavs adds yet another check mark to his year of fuckery. LOL.

I am absolutely loving the Oubre Jr. trade. How the Wizards so willingly gave up a franchise piece for an aged Trevor Ariza amazes me.

 

[WiggyRuss]

big surprise.

 

[The Derski]

Just looked up Ariza’s stats and he nearly had a triple double last game. Good for him.

 

[WiggyRuss]

there are 5 really bad teams this year- the Suns, Hawks, Cavs, Knicks, Bulls.

If the Cavs had Love or the Knicks had Porzingis neither would be "really bad" they would just be "bad".

 

[WiggyRuss]

he has been a nice addition- and was always going to be a nice pickup for a team with playoff aspirations

why a going-nowhere Wiz team gave up a guy like Oubre just to be a first round washout at best is puzzling- but then again- the Wiz might be (and probably are) the worst run NBA team at this time.

 

[DJ Fieri]

who said that?

LMAO

I can read. Can you?

So what you said is:

"Kyle Kuzma has been really good- and he has a lot of value- but all he does is score. He is a mediocre-to-poor rebounder and a poor defender".

You are qualifying your statement of his "value" by bringing up his weaknesses. And, you are spot on regarding Kuzma. He is valuable because he can score. But his value is also limited because he doesn't have any other plus skills.

That is almost exactly what I said about Kyrie Irving 3 years ago. And no, I don't think Kuzma is nearly as good as Irving was back then.

Can't play both sides here. Your agenda regarding both players is obvious.

BOOM.

And it's why he loves Sexton over Ball when Ball is a much more well rounded player.
