2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I mean...lets look at the k's for some big men:

Al Horford: PO 30M next year
Marvin Williams: 15M a year
B. Biyombo: 17M a year
Robin Lopez made almost 15M a year this year
Dwight Powell: 10M next year
Mason Plumlee: 14M next year
Drummond: 27M next year
Shitside: 27M player option that Pat Riley would give his left testicle for Whiteside to decline nnext year
Myles Turner : 17.5M next year
Gallanari: 22M next year
Valunciunas 17M next year
James Johnson 15M next year
Kelly Olnyk 12M next year
Gorgeiu Dieng 16M next year
Steven Adams: 26M next year
Aaron Gordon: 20M next year
Timo Mozgov: 17M next year
Ryan Anderson: 20M next year
Derrick Favors: 16M next year
Ian Mahimi: 16M next year

so, maybe Thompson at 13M is a little underestimating...should be interesting.

How many of those contracts were signed within the last 2 summers?

Teams HAD to spend a few years back, if u recall.

Thing is, they aren't alike at all on the offensive end. It is a bad comparison. It is the type of comparison somebody makes who hasn't seen Bam play and is guessing by looking at the stat sheet.

Is Bam better today?

No. TT is an established vet with a ring and 4 Finals trips.

But to say Bam is a poor man's TT is way underselling Bam's potential.

And if you take the Cleveland side of things in every debate regarding Cleveland, you are a homer.

Good luck with this debate....as you see the Love/Klay debate is still happening. These types of comments are natural when there's much speculation due to lack of having watched enough games to know better.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

you're making too much sense for wiggy

You mean the brillliant fast talking attorney with little common sense?

 

[dtgold88]

No. I said the team specifically.

But yeah. I think most fans would agree Klay doesn't bring his A defensive effort every night. But on his worst day he is still better than most.

I'm sure most fans believe this because that is what the experts tell them. Now this might not apply to you, as you've probably watched him play a number of games and maybe even focused on him, but fans just parrot what they hear.

Yeah...I'll never give in. I'll insist TT is better than BAm - far better - and there should be no debate on the matter.

wait.....what?

lol well I mean you haven't thus far....on either point, so there's that....

 

[dtgold88]

lol well I mean you haven't thus far....on either point, so there's that....

lol well I mean, yeah, I have. I said TT is not much better than Bam and an argument could certainly be made that Bam is the better player moving forward.

could you tell me again how teams who allow the other team to get off a lot of shots must be poor defensive teams. To quote Eddie Murphy again....."that's one of my favorites."

Lord, not another "who would YOU rather have" debate...

I doubt we’ll see anything like this.

Nuggets/Celtics tonight.

Wonder if Kyrie still has a bug up his ass about Jamal Murray going for 50 in garbage time when they played earlier this season?



Go Celtics!

No debate.
If Tristan were on the Lakers, Wiggy would have a list of reasons of why hes not a very important NBA player.

He said he hasnt forgotten.

He said he hasnt forgotten.

Kyrie might put on a show tonight to try & prove a point.

Actually, I'm interested in you explaining to us again how rebounding is defense.

defensive rebounding is defense. Love's among the best.

But I do love the when fans play the "let's look at defense" when all else fails....easy to do as no great way to "prove" anything.

Curry's, at best, an awful defender. Among the top PGs in the league?

TT at this point is better than Lebron

The debates are retarded for multiple reasons, the main one being that they can't be proved.

Kevin Love or Klay Thompson. Who you picking?
