2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

Got my tickets to the final Mavs game against the Suns on April 9. If it is indeed Dirk's last game, my grandson and I will be there.

I like that the blame goes to where it should....the player in this case. seems clear with both Lebron and Kyrie here the dysfunction was caused by them, but they never got the blame.

That guy is a different kind of cat, that's for sure. Guessing you heard his comments when asked what going to Cleveland meant. Even if he doesn't care he has to know there's a better answer he can give.

We will trade you Harrison Barnes for Kyrie Irving. I'm still looking to get rid of Harrison Barnes.

 

[dtgold88]

No I didn't see what his comments were about what going to Cleveland meant.

Just asked him if it meant anything going back to Cleveland and he simply said "no, not at all"

Should have just said something about the memories from the title or the fans who supported him.

Maybe ask Gman his thoughts?

Tell him we'll throw in Anderson Varaejo and Pat McCaw just to seal the deal.

Can I get a Chris Mullen rookie card?

He also took a shot @ all Cleveland fans (not just Cavs fans) across the board when he got to Boston.

"I'm driving in and I'm like, 'OK, I'm really in a real, live sports city & a great city.'"


Yep such a great city he already wants out. Obviously Boston has had more sports success than any other city in the country for years now. He didn't know Boston's recent sports success until he got there? That dumbass.

I always wanted a Greg Kite autographed jersey.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

No clue what you are trying to say there....sorry.

But I will say Kyrie joined what was considered to be a stable organization and now they are considered dysfunctional.

I'm just saying that Kyrie is still put out with the Cavaliers, knows there were better ways to say what he did, and didnt care who's feelings he hurt

And, really, why bash Cleveland if Lebron was the reason he wanted out?

Clearly, but why? what did the fans or even the organization do to piss him off so much? Perhaps he needs to look in the mirror?

Kyrie so mixed up & confused he probably thinks he knows where the Lost City of Atlantis is located. And that's possibly not too far of a stretch since he did say the Earth is flat.

What the hell did he learn @ dook his 1 year there!?

sure as hell never read "How to Make Friends and Influence People"

 

[msgkings322]

You wouldn't be saying that if I call Aron Baynes a helluva hoopster.

I would if you called him a helluva of a hoopster though

Sounds fun, gramps

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

And what the heck is up with Kyrie. A load management game with a day off before and after? Bails on his team in a game they need because of how the fans might treat him?

Those hamstrings get kinda tight, and those legs get pretty heavy this time of year.

Any extra time off now will benefit him and the team down the road in late April..and into May.

All frontline teams do it with their starters...and even in some cases with their bench players.

But yeah...he could at least come off the bench if needed...but I don't think they'll be needing him tonight against the Cavs.

Just sayin'

He probably forgot he even won a championship there...

He is not the brightest

I see. Redick is hidden. You thinking Curry, especially as a rookie, was exposed on D and not hidden?

Are you just messing with me?

Are you messing with me? Why you so difficult?

Again, apples to oranges. And either you didn't think about how different these situations are or you just don't get it.

Reddick starts alongside a 6'10 PG who can guard 1-4 and Butler who is as good a perimeter defender as there is in the league. It is really easy for the Sixers to pick their matchups because of how long and versatile the rest of the team is.

Curry started alongside Monta Ellis and Cory Maggette/Anthony Morrow. Ellis is the same size as Curry and none of those guys are exactly known for defense.

So was Curry hidden some? I don't know. You would have to ask @CitySushi. but certainly not to the extent Reddick is. And it is even possible that Curry would have been the one they put on the other teams' best guy since he was younger and had less offensive responsibility. But I am not sure there.

What I do know is the situation then was much different than what exists now with Klay always taking the biggest threat. The Warriors didn't have that stopper.
