2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

Is it me or does Kuzma only play really good when at least 1 of the big 2 is out? His game seems to fall off when they're both in the lineup. Almost certain his PPG (which should be expected) but most importantly his fg% is better when Lebron and/or AD is not playing.....Could be wrong

I think you're right and I wouldn't be surprised if the Lakers trade him. Maybe for a Derrick Rose?

 

[bksballer89]

They did, what is their record so far this year?

Not sure. Not on espn.com right now

 

[tlance]

So you don't think D'antoni should lose his job?

Harden is a solid 3 pt shooter but he isn't Steph Curry or a 3 pt specialist. There's no reason for him to have all these games where he's attempting about 20 threes. That's on the coach.

I don’t.

The Rockets were legit contenders the last 2 years with his system. He transformed Harden from a maligned 1 way shooting guard to an MVP point guard in this system. He very nearly led them to a title 2 years ago and has only been beaten in the playoffs by the Warriors.

They are 3.5 games back from 2nd place Clippers with what I believe to be a very flawed roster. They are basically right where they should be.

So no. I believe DAntoni deserves a bit more credit and a bit more leash. Because it is his system that transformed Harden to the unstoppable offensive force he is today.

And I believe you may be a tad biased because you love Russ and don’t like Harden. The reality is they are both flawed and they are both at fault in their own way.

As a coach, when you have a player who literally has the highest scoring average the league has seen in the last 30 years, you don’t bench him on an off night. Because he is 1 make away from his next hot streak.

@TurnUpTheHeat JJ went for 22,6, and 3 tonight. Makes it more comical about why he was in the doghouse for like 2 months. This version of JJ (very similar to 2017 JJ) is clearly better than Leonard/Kelly. I would try to move one of those guys and Waiters if they can make it work. JJ playing this way is probably our 2nd best reserve after Dragic

The Lakers have the best record in the West at 34-8, 34-9 after tonight.

Luka will join these guys once he leaves Dallas later on in his career

You never know, maybe Cuban brings guys in to Luka: Giannis?

Already told you, Giannis coming to Miami.

I’ve always seen the upside in JJ when he’s been healthy.
Another crazy win.
Fun game to have been at.

Where the hell have you been, in the closet?

 

[Gman]

This is just awful....

Does no one love this man?

Damn, that's sad.

Go easy on @bksballer89... he's not a real B-ball fan like you, OT... he's just doing the best he can.

the fact is Harden has been far from unstoppable in the playoffs.

I'd pass on Derrick Rose....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Rough loss but it's 1 game out of 82. Sucks to lose to them though.

 

[The Oldtimer]

I'd pass on Derrick Rose....

Okay.

 

[bksballer89]

I'd pass on Derrick Rose....
