2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

yah they fucked up the Randle thing royally.

If they had no intention of evene trying to bring him back, why not deal him at the deadline for an asset?

an expiring contract of a guy that was playing really well--- well better than an expiring contract because a team would hold his RFA rights.

Lakers really screwed the pooch on Randle all the way around. to let a former lotto pick coming into his own walk for nothing was an abomination.

And if they kept him maybe he's someone LA might be able to move for that AD fellow they wanted.

Have you heard anything more regarding that alleged Steve Kerr post game soundbite about Draymond someone posted last night?

 

[CitySushi]

Also I was at the game on Friday against the Nuggets which was probably the Warriors best game all year. They put together an amazing defensive performance and kept the Nuggets at bay all night.

But Klay last game blasted the fans and I 1000000% agree with him. I sat in the lower bowl and basically there was zero enthusiasm from the stands. It's crazy. It's like no one knew the Warriors were playing the 2nd best team in the Western Conference. I was literally the first one up out of my seat before everyone else when big plays were happening.

The fans in the arena are super weak. The upper deck is still lit though, but any fans in the lower bowl don't know what the fuck is going on.

Nah, but it's definitely not a good look. I'm sure worse has been said to each other's face, so I don't think it's a huge sticking point. Both have acknowledged that they get into screaming matches with each other.

This is probably way less impactful than the KD/Draymond situation. At least Kerr and Draymond are always upfront with each other on where they stand.

Oops posted this on the wrong thread.

This is blowing up the interwebs around now

Bumped for awesomeness.

Yeah..that was pretty much my take and my initial response about it last night was a hearty LOL ...but I haven't done any searches on some of those social media outlets.

To be fair, it seems like he goes after top FA's every year, he just never gets them. So it's not for lack of trying.

I've never understood that either. From everything I've seen and heard, he spoils his players. There's virtually nothing they can ask for that he won't do.

It's also not like Dallas is some hick town or that the weather is terrible.

Just don't get it.

No state income tax either. And top shelf strip clubs. It is a mystery.

And only gonna be worse at the new arena.

Don't bother. The twitterverse is going ape crazy bananas

Is it more or less a pro Green, or a pro Kerr lean?..or meh/lol a nothing burger type stuff??

 

[trojanfan12]

Cuban tries to get FA's but isn't willing to pay them top dollar.

Really? You'd know better than I would, but he doesn't seem like a guy who wouldn't pay a max contract for a guy at that level.

 

[WiggyRuss]

@WiggyRuss

if you had #2 you take him or Barrett?

 

[bksballer89]

Depends on my need.

Both look like they're going to be both scorers but Morant is more of a play maker in terms of assist and etc.

If you have an established PG, I think you go Barrett.

But one guy you don't select over either is Cam Reddish

Nah only non-Warrior fans. Trade him to the Heat and you'll love him.

He should try to tone it down a bit. He managed to stop kicking people in the nuts so he should be able to do that.

I agree. He is one of those guys who you would really like when he's on your team but hate him otherwise. Same goes for Pat Bev

Welcome to life with a dominant team.

Especially in todays NBA where teams like the Warriors understand the importance of getting to the playoffs rested and healthy.

With the Showtime Lakers, Riley used to start sitting star players as soon as their playoff spot was assured.

The Shaq/Kobe Lakers used to talk about "flipping the switch" for the playoffs.

Same, to a lesser extent, with the Kobe/Pau Lakers. The only reason it was less with Kobe is because he was competitive to the point that it probably qualifies as a mental illness. lol

Over last year and the year before, Staples was often louder watching a bunch of kids trying to figure out how to play in the NBA than it was during regular season games with a championship team simply because those kids always played hard.

If the players don't care about the regular season and show it, the fans aren't going to care either.
