2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

[Black Adam]

I expect your Chiefs to take care of business today. Too much firepower for the Titans to stop.

We'll see. Off to another slow start...

your point...?

The Texans beat us in the regular season too...

The question is probably moot because if you add either Green or Love to either L.A. team, that team would probably win the Championship either way.

The other stuff you bring up has more to do with fit in a particular situation. I'll stand by what I said earlier on that front... it's a separate issue.

So let's talk about "elite rebounding". You keep bringing this up as a big deal with KLove. Here's my retort to that:

It's a poor point in the context of the current conversation. But not because it isn't true (of course, it is true). Rather, it's a poor point because elite rebounding (by itself) is less important in today's game.

Let's name some other elite rebounders: Andre Drummond. Enes Kanter. Tristan Thompson.

^ For all of their elite rebounding percentages... these guys aren't game changers. Not in today's NBA.

So in this comparison, you're highlighting a skill that (while not unimportant) just doesn't move the needle as much as other qualities. The same can be said of a low post game... simply put, that skill is de-emphasized in today's game.

IMO, the only really important positive that Love has the advantage in is outside shooting. That one is a real point in favor of Love. But Draymond's speed, defense and passing make him the better championship fit in 2020.

Good thing we can add his ability to take a defender outside because he can hit an outside shot, in addition to the rebounding, right?

 

[Black Adam]

Cheetah with the TD...!

 

[dtgold88]

Exactly what I have said all along.

You said Green was a better player than Love. You were wrong.

 

[dtgold88]

Honestly not sure who is worse. Really tough call there.

Guess only thing in Haslem's favor is snyder has been a dufus a lot longer.

so he's got that going for him.

 

[dtgold88]

At one point Haslam would go outta his way to pit employees against each other. Also he was foolish enough to keep Hue Jackson around after going 1-15 in '16. And Haslam was rewarded by Jackson guiding the Browns to an 0-16 record in '17. And still didn't fire him!

I get wanting him gone after 0-16, but Hue took over a 3-13 team who openly said they were tanking. Also ended up playing a 3rd round, 3rd string rookie QB. You thought they should improve?

The Chiefs are going to lose.

Titans>Texans

I think they are better......but I wouldn't write off KC this early.

I'm sorry, man. but i couldn't hear you...

what'd you say...?

 

[tlance]

That's not good. Unfortunately we both root for teams with idiot owners.

I do have some good news for you:

It really can’t get much worse for either of us.

 

[tlance]

You said Green was a better player than Love. You were wrong.

You are arguing semantics.

I don’t want either as my number 1.

I want Green as my number 3.

So yeah. Green is better given the way basketball is played today.

 

[tlance]

Guess only thing in Haslem's favor is snyder has been a dufus a lot longer.

so he's got that going for him.

I actually like Snyder’s hirings/firings for once.

I am sure he will screw it up.

 

[tlance]

You said Green was a better player than Love. You were wrong.

And I am not really sure I want either as a 3rd right now with those contracts.

 

[bksballer89]

Chiefs cant beat the 49ers. Should root for Packers to win tonight
