2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

Agree.

This year is different.

The fact that the Celtics and Raptors just keep on rolling when Kyrie and Kawhi miss a games pretty much eliminates them.

Well, the Raps keep rolling Boston is 50/50. But, they stay afloat.

But, The Bucks and Lakers are hot, buttered GARBAGE, sans their Star Players.

I will say that I'm starting to come around on Paul George.

Yeesh.

He won't win, I think it will be Freak or Harden.

But, George and Embiid deserve a few votes.

How are the bucks buttered hot garbage?! Lol

 

[trojanfan12]

Depends on how you look at it.

I think the Clippers have talked themselves into believing they are going to get Kawhi.

So, they don't mind making the playoffs because that pick just eats into their cap room.

I don't think that's happening.

So, I want the fricking pick.

The Logo may have made his first mistake when rebuilding a team...


He forgot to tell the coach and players that they're tanking. lol

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

He's going to turn that franchise around in a few years completely

Dude, puhleeeaaasssseee.

Jerry?

Maybe.

ZuCROTCH?

Nah.

That was his 2nd mistake.

First mistake was only locking Montrezl up on a 2 year deal.

Unreal that they kept him on a 2/12 deal.

They won't be getting that kinda discount again....lol

 

[shopson67]

He's not a Lakers anymore.

So, you can stop pretending that he's good.

Lmfao

Nobody needs to audition this kid.

He's not getting a contract.

He will elsewhere if not with the Clippers. Not sure why all the hate, with starters' minutes he's a double/double and only 21.

Without Giannis?

And yet The Joker is the only NBAer leading his team in points, rebounds, assists & steals (and only Russ has more trip-dubs this year) & he wouldn't even get a vote. He has the Nuggets in 2nd place in the WC & the Nuggets have missed more games due to injury than any other team. That was mentioned on a Nuggets pregame show last week.

Without Giannis?

* See last night's game

I watched the game, they were missing open shots and bunnies. They beat the raptors last time when both Giannis and kahwi were out lol. And not to mention it was a 3rd game in 4 nights

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I don't understand why you or DJ care?

I don't like his game.

I don't want him to be retained.

Despite you rescue Ronny'ing for him, I'm not going to change my mind.

So, why are we still going around the mullberry bush about a deadline deal project who won't even be a Clippers in 3 months?

I'm sorry.

I don't blindly drink the pool aid on guys just because they are on my teams roster.

I see @Mecca point. I think some Lakers fans have overvalued Zubac.

I have never been a particular fan of his. But I watch every Lakers game and have seen his improvement.

He has improved from basically "end of the bench, soon to be playing overseas" into a solid backup/spot starter.

He's not the trash that Mecca and some others think he is, but he's also not a starting big like some Lakers fans think he is.

He's basically not good enough or bad enough to warrant the amount of discussion that's been dedicated to him since the trade. lol

Dude, please.

The Bucks would be barely average without Giannis.

You arguing otherwise is retarded.

If he couldn't score or rebound like he does, but could jump high and run fast, people would be all over him. It's a bit sad when basketball skills are overlooked in favor of combine results. He is a "born too late" prospect though. 10 years ago he would be much more highly regarded, but the modern NBA wants everyone to shoot 3s and switch defensively. It's a different game now. That doesn't mean he isn't a useful piece for an NBA team though.

Nah they would be in the playoffs still as a 5 seed lol

Okay I really am outta the current lingo loop but what the hell does pool aid mean?

 

[shopson67]

You seem to be doing the exact opposite; blindly hating on a player. It just seems odd to me; the guy has really improved this year. To each his/her own, I guess...

Yeah, he's not Robert Sacre BAD.

But, he's also not on his way to being the next Capela either.

Agree to disagree.

I agree. A solid backup/spot starter is a useful piece for an NBA team. He's just not the starter that some of our fellow Lakers brethren seem to think he is.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Lebron will likely be mentioned because he's Lebron.

But the Lakers would have to have a top 4 seed for him to get serious consideration and that seems unlikely at this point.

hes missed what? 18 games

0.0 chance

Lmfao

He's not good.

He's not on your team.

Why do you care so much?

Seriously, this is like the 10th time someone on this form has actually taken the time to argue with the fact that I don't like Zubac.

We aren't talking about SG-A.

A guy who we have invested in, who will actually be on the roster next year.

We are talking about a deadline deal castoffs who is a barely adequate backup on most teams.

Really?

Lmfao

Ps. This is probably how most of us feel when you for some inexplicable reason keep insisting that OKC is in purgatory.

 

[trojanfan12]

I actually agree with that assessment and it's pretty much what I've been saying all along.
