2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

[True Lakers Fan]

My outrageous picks for today:

Warriors to beat the Heat
Wizards to beat the Lakers
Cavs to beat the Bucks

Don't look now, but the Lakers are giving the Wizards an old fashioned ass whipping

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Whiteside with 10 blocks, 15 rebounds.
2 points away from another untraditional triple double.

 

[wildturkey]

But Kyrie was only missing these games to avoid playing his former teams.....

That's part of his cover. He has to miss that one for plausible deniability

 

[Darth Dawkins]

14-4

It was ugly but I'll take it. We keep winning the games we should win. Perfection so far.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

17-2

10 straight

 

[msgkings322]

17-2

10 straight

I gotta say, I know the schedule will toughen up but my goodness they look terrific. Much better than expected so quickly. Gotta say = Clippers (for now)

 

[LambeauLegs]

17-2

10 straight

The Bucks are 10 straight as well they said the last time that happened was like 1986

 

[Black Adam]

which means 0-3 for you today, miss lady...

like i was saying...

didn't Load Management lose yesterday...?

 

[buckalis]

Not true. The Heat record was never discussed. We were debating the quality of their wins and I'll say you were right about the Hawks. I think the only thing I said is that last year group would have had been 1-4 or 2-3 in their first 5 games.

The Hawks will never make it to the playoffs this season or the next... They practically have only Trae Young to be based upon for their future and perhaps Collins is good to be the 6th-7th rotation piece on a playoff team, they have nothing else.

If a team is to watch in the East stepping up for the future to join the Bucks, Celtics, Raptors, Sixers, Pacers, Nets and Heat secure playoff 7, it's the Hornets with their tremendous young trio on Bridges, Graham and Washington who are all future all stars.

The Hawks are still a rebuilt team and this will continue for at least the following couple of seasons... and of course one shouldn't count out the Wizards after this season...

For now, being the key.

I think part of the reason they have looked better than expected is that Lebron hasn't missed a game and AD has only missed 1.

Meanwhile, Kawhi has 5 games and PG has missed 11. It's taking them a little longer than expected to get on the same page completely.

What happened to the Pistons?

You said they would contend this year because they acquired Snell and Doumbaya.

And the Hornets trio is not spectacular. They are average players posting stats in an opportunity vacuum with no star caliber talent on their team.

Hawks pieces will price better down the road once they figure it out.

I guess the Pistons are coming next, Doumbouya is still too raw (albeit with huge potential) and Woods needs another season of experience before he can compete with the best out there...

I also said that Snell will be starting (which is the case) and you was laughing at it... I guess it does prove you stupid and ignorant in the game of basketball...

No.

I never disagreed about Snell starting.

What I told you was that he was a replacement level player and a bad contract. That remains true.

Yes you did...

 

[tlance]

Yes you did...

Maybe that is your problem.

You don’t pay attention to what people are saying.

I called Snell a bad contract as a replacement level player which the Bucks had to attach an asset to to move him.

Never said he wouldn’t start.

Find the quote.

You find the quote... (if you dare)... you said it!

How's he supposed to find something that doesn't exist? If he said it you should have no problem embarrassing him by showing it to us.
