2019 Offseason Thread

I see the Lakers around the 60 mark , if healthy.

So, 57 is a solid guess. I say push....

Celtics will win 50, over.

Cavs.....

Without hedging on health, trading Love, Clarkson, Thompson etc....

I will say.....over.

Low 30's.

How you been? Hope things have been good.

The Clippers will be the best team playing at Staples this year. (hopefully)

No more Kyrie! No more Kyrie! No more Kyrie!

And I think the Cavs should get rid of all their talent & try to go 0-82. Match the Browns '17 0-fer season.

Last I heard, AD had a grade 1 thumb strain. Without treatment that thing heals by itself within two weeks so I'm guessing he'll be ok by opening night. MRI is today so we'll have to wait and see.

Good deal. Don't like seeing players injured. No matter who they play for.

translation:"go look it up".

lol, was it really that hard to say it...?

so you are calling me out for explaining it....too well?

that's a new one.

I'm with you on that one. The league is a lot more fun to watch with all the players active, especially all stars.

What'll probably lead to Lakers finishing at the "under" is that LeBron and AD aren't gonna be giving 100% effort and 100% availability during the regular season.

I expect some minor injury / load management stuff from both and I expect 'regular season defensive intensity' from LeBron.

 

[Black Adam]

since they've only faced off last season seems like the only worthy head-to-head to have brought up.

Translation: "excellent point, CL"-

see? knew you had it in ya...

I see Lakers in the low to mid 50's at best

seemed obvious must have meant last season since only time they faced off

FIFY

yeah, but who cares about YOUR opinion...?

 

[Black Adam]

FIFY

ahhh, ya fixed it wrong...

geeze, you keep making these little gaffes, but i have faith that you can turn it around. I'm rooting for you...

 

[bksballer89]

LOL if it makes it happy, I don't think any team out West win 60.

Too challenging. The only "easy" games are Phoenix and Memphis.

Even the teams who are going to miss the playoffs, should be solid

Okay after this comment respond if need be. But it's time we let this one go once & for all. Time for a different topic. Others that saw the same thing & knew exactly what I meant. It was only you that took it outta context because it went against what you thought.

It was already gone once and for all....until you just now brought it up again

These baby games are not just dtgold, you clearly enjoy the back and forth with him

 

[Wamu]

No doubt. I just hope they can find a way to fix the All Star Game. Back in the 80's & 90's I looked forward to it. Not so much these days though.

You were a lot younger then....

This all started when he said I should "own it" on questioning if he's ever had an issue with wiggy. I only brought that topic up to show him yet again he lies at times. So next time figure out what's going on before you say incorrect things like baby games.

Not enjoying anything. But when he (or anyone else) accuses me of something I haven't done I'm gonna speak up.

You enjoy speaking up, or you wouldn't do it. No one is forcing you. Notice how I don't even get into it with the guy? When he's being a douchebag I just let him. We already know his game, I don't have to point it out for the hundredth time.

So what you're saying is if someone incorrectly accused of saying something you wouldn't speak up for yourself? Obviosuly that's something I'm not willing to do.

I'm saying there are other ways to handle that guy when he's trying to rile you up. Don't let him win. When a troll says something obviously wrong, if you keep fighting him he is getting what he wants.

If something is obviously wrong, you dont have to bring it up, it's already obvious he's wrong.

I could accuse you of being Wiggy's boyfriend, and we could go for pages with me telling you to not ever change and to own it and so on, or you could just laugh it off. If you chose to get into it with me instead, it means that's fun for you.

Over/under 57 wins for your Lakers?

Over/under 46 wins for my Celtics?

I don't even have to know the category, just give me the Under for both the Celtics and the Lakers...
