2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

Pretty sure I am

lol debatable I suppose, but that p. I. you didn't get and that roughing the passer call on us when Brady barely got his shoulder pad touched were BOTH game changers...

 

[Mecca]

heat honestly might have the most- but just have zero elite guys.

and i dont count derrick jones jr.

Baynes?

Dude, C'mon.

He's a solid back-up.

 

[Mecca]

Why not Chriss?

He's probably a bust.

 

[Mecca]

Maybe, but at 6'8, 220 how much is he going to help down low? Or is he just 6 more fouls?

6 fouls.

Dude, Nene is a corpse.

Chriss doesn't have the temperament, nor the skill.

They are on a budget.

Slim pickings.

They are hoping Manimal can turn back the hands of time and give them a bit of what Montrezl is giving the Clippers.

As I just posted on the NFL board:

Bottom line is this: EVERY close game in the NFL you can look at a penalty or non-call that 'determined' the outcome. Here we are a day after 2 OT championship games, which should be talked about as really exciting and fun, and all anyone talks about is the refs.

This is the primary reason I do not follow football closely. That and the brain damage. But the ref thing is a problem.

Yeah, it sucks.

In all honesty, there were some pretty bad bad calls that helped both sides of both games late.

The no PI call in the Saints game was the worst, but there were some iffy calls that went the other way too. Unfortunately, short of reviewing possible penalty calls, there is no fix here.

 

[tlance]

You sound ignorant as hell.

No offense... but this isn't even worth a serious response.

Remember though,

by Wiggy's defintion you are only a "rotation player" if you are scoring. Guys who play good defense and rebound don't count.

Exactly. Bad calls from the refs can definitely effect a game. But they are not the difference between winning and losing.

You can always find a turnover, missed assignment, bad legit penalty, etc. that has a lot more to do with why a team lost than 1 bad call.

That should have been a penalty on the Rams defender yesterday but the Saints could have won that game yesterday in numerous other opportunities. That penalty didn't cost the Saints that game.

the penalty certainly would have given them greater odds at the time. hell, it would have been dependent on the kicker making the FG. that said, they got the ball first in OT. I wasn't paying enough attention to know if earlier calls could have had similar impacts on the future game. i'd be pissed if my team lost on that no call, but it is what it is. football and calls is kinda shitty anymore.

at this point, what role is he willing to play and is he worth it? I think back to last year and the role Ersan provided the sixers. They need PF depth. If this guy could knock down 3's and take a charge, fantastic, what does he plan on doing and where, if anywhere? I feel he might go the way of Iverson, trying to catch on somewhere, feeling he's more important than he is.

i'm rambling, but he can be a piece somewhere, if he wants to be, though it'll be a small piece.

 

[Bolts]

Nets are good, Kings played a horrible 2nd half. Onto Toronto to get the record back to .500.

He's a few McDonald's Happy Meals away from being Oliver Miller w/ more athleticism.

He lit up Boston the other night.
