2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

You'll be crying when they get the #1 pick and Kawhi decides he wants to play with Zion and Lebron.

You hurt?

 

[Mecca]

Agree....at this time, sure, can still play but you'd just be getting the name at this point....and for way too much.

Here's the thing...

The Lakers window opens, and closes, with Lebron.

Marc isn't cooked.

But, he's nowhere near the player he was a few years ago.

He's putting up a shade under 16ppg and a solid 8 boards a game.

Guess what his career average is?

15 and 7.

He'd be good on a 2 year deal at a fair price.

Nobody is giving him a max and they shouldn't.

 

[Mecca]

I'm down if we get the #2.

1,2 or 3.

4 is no man's land.

I'm not saying no way I'd want him. I think only way he takes his true value, though, is for a better shot at a title (which LA could be depending who else they get). Otherwise, he'll want and might even get $20 mil plus from somewhere.

Unless Magic is ahead of you and screws up?

 

[Mecca]

Oh I agree with this......my comment had nothing to do with how Toronto is treating him.

You think he's injury prone.

I think they are sitting him needlessly.

ETA: Holy Shit.

He's missed 16-25 games 4 times in 7 years and 8-10 twice.

I thought that 9 game Season was a aberration.

It's just the worst Season in a career of missing 8 games or more.

Still, I'd give him the max...lol

I probably would too, though not sure LA should be that team with better options (or fit) for them.

 

[Mecca]

yah the "we need playmakers instead of shooters and not to do this like cleveland" turned out to be one of the STUPIDEST fucking things i have ever seen a GM utter. Magic should be humiliated he uttered those words. His approach was a disaster.

Everyone said it would be a shitshow.

But, It started off well.

The beginning of the end was spitgate.

Shit started fucking up fast, picking up speed, when Lebron went down.

I will say, I was wrong about McGee.

Dude played well.

Lance was his usual agony and ecstasy self.

Took Rondo much longer than expected to go off the rails.

 

[Mecca]

Please, Injury Gods.

Not the Freak too.

 

[Taddy Mason]

Go Bucks

Nothing personal just don't want the Pistons to play the Sixers

sixers winning would put that in play, no?you think pistons are moving up from 6?

how many playoff games has he missed?

 

[tlance]

where I disagree is it's likely those "other scorers" would be better than green and he wouldn't be the best player.

The "best player" isn't always the best scorer though. Plenty of examples of that over time in the NBA.

 

[Four4Four]

Can't believe these fucking Sixers aren't doubling Giannis

no need to. they're giving him foul shots on cats he's running into, don't need to add more bodies for him to draw from, let the others beat you.

I'd like the Sixers to drop from the 3

 

[flyerhawk]

Great win for the Sixers. Giannis with 52 and the Sixers go basically wire to wire in the win

 

[Sparhawk]

Have to give Coach Brett Brown some credit for this one.

you think the pistons are going to get the 5, not happening? they're not winning a first round series, i'm not sure what you're looking for.

How is what I'm saying so confusing to you?

The Pistons match up worst with the Sixers and Bucks. I'd like the Sixers to drop to the 4. Pistons the 6

Or the Pistons to drop to the 7 because they just beat the Raptors yet again

I don't expect a playoff win but it's not like any of the teams have major playoff pedigree aside from the Celtics.
