2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

Apparently, it's too much to ask for back to back roads vs Boston and Philly....LOL.

 

[DJ]

Great ball movement.

 

[Sparhawk]

Fork a stick in them.
Empty the bench!

 

[tlance]

Yeah, I don't know about that. Since Oladipo has gone out, Indy has shown they have a squad and aren't just a 1 man team.

Have they?

Since Dipo got hurt, they are 5-4. Their wins have come against the following teams.

@Miami
@NOLA without AD
VS LAL
VS LAC after Harris trade
VS Cleveland

They also lost to Memphis, Washington and Orlando

I am not saying they are terrible without Dipo, but they aren't holding a 2 game cushion against Philly and Boston. In that stretch they haven't beaten any top teams. They also have this ridiculously brutal stretch upcoming in March:

@Milwaukee
@philadelphia
VS NYK
VS OKC
@Denver
@Portland
@LAC
@GS
VS Denver
@OKC
@Boston

They will be lucky to win more than 3 games there.

This is the best Sixers team I’ve seen since the mid-80s.

While they aren’t a deep team they really improved their depth with Scott, Boban and eventually Simmons

Outside of NYK, they should lose all the other games. My guess is they beat the Clippers and sneak one of those home games out vs Denver or OKC

I'm so happy for Bobi and Toby.

You guys look fantastic so far.

Oladipo has missed 20 games this season, what's their record in those games?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Ask Kelly Clarkson

Didnt she spit out a few kids, 1 pretty recent?

Congrats on the win.....you guys are loaded....the starting lineup is for sure.

 

[Sparhawk]

Sixers now 7-4 in that brutal 12-game stretch. But, I just want to win on Tuesday before I anoint them...

 

[bksballer89]

Luke having Ingram, Bron, and Kuzma on the bench at the same time seem like a stupid strategy

 

[DJ]

Some nut in the Philly media wanted to ask James to compare Philly to GS.....

 

[DJ]

He's going to be gone....his decisions are really stupid at times.

 

[DorianRo]

Lakers have shown they can hang with all the top teams in the league as is. Too bad their "leader" LeBronda is pouting instead of manning up

 

[Mecca]

@Bolts

Watching Suns vs. Kings?

 

[tlance]

Oladipo has missed 20 games this season, what's their record in those games?

I just showed you 9 of them. They only played 3 playoff teams during that stretch and 2 were 8 seeds.

You want the other 12?

They had wins against:

Hawks (played 4 minutes)
Jazz twice (when they were struggling)
Suns
Bulls
Magic
Kings
And Wizards

With losses to the Kings, Lakers, Spurs and Hornets

So yeah, they were 13-8. But you would be hard pressed to find a softer random stretch of 21 games than that.

If you want to bet that the Pacers hold the 3 seed, just name the terms. I will take it.

 

[Mecca]

Holy fuck.

Tyler Johnson has had his teeth knocked out 7 times in 2 years and he still won't wear a mouthpiece?

Playoffs are all about your starters.

If the Sixers stay healthy they are going to be very tough to beat

Special kind of stupid.
