2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

Y'all are crazy for wanting Steph to play....

The Warriors should just do what they're doing. This is a lost season. The injury bug clobbered them. They'll be in line for the # 1 overall pick. And if there's nobody they really like I'm sure more than one team would be interested in that pick. Could get a lot in return for it.

Anyone ready for some basketball?

Everyone except the Cavs. The dumper's officially on fire on the shores of Lake Erie.

So it matches the lake then

Come on man get your history right! It wasn't Lake Erie that was so polluted it caught on fire. It was the Cuyahoga River.

Management should shut him down.....nothing gained by playing in a lost season....next season should be the goal.

this is just stupid.
he broke his hand. Its not a knee.

He is getting paid. If he is healthy they owe it to the fans to get him on the court

The Lakers success has really put a damper on the season. I'm just glad they didn't make any major upgrades in free agency. I hope that trend continues for next year.

2019 me would have cringed at saying this but: I'm ready to see more of Andrew Wiggins tonight.

You don't have to wait. I've got some Andrew Wiggins for you right now:

How stupid would it be if he returned and re-injured the hand?

Cmon man. The injury is 100%. The guy is making major money that the fans are paying. If he is healthy he should be on the court trying to help his team and maybe playing with some of the newer players

Ummmmmmm...

Can I get a majority ruling on this from the congregation?

KG and its not even close

Ehhh.. tricky one IMO.

If AD plays like he has been for the next 6-8 season and wins a title or two with the Lakers, there’s no doubt he’ll be better than KG in the all time rankings.

My homeristic opinion? AD is a Laker, KG was a Celtic. Fuck Garnett.

Right now though, yeah it’s Kevin

That was my immediate reaction. But, after looking at the stats, it's less obvious.

KG was healthier and was a better facilitator. But, everywhere else?

In fairness, KG's last few years skewed the Shit out of his stats and numbers don't tell the whole story.

But, if Davis wins some hardware?

Tricky is a good adjective. Both guys put up big stats in mostly losing situations early in their careers.

Garnett's false bravado, fewer 20 plus missing game season and his chip are what makes me lean KG.

I know you shouldn't punish guys for their competition. But, KG had to dual with Shaq, LeBron, Duncan, Webber and managed to come out on top at least once.

Until Davis does that against Kawhi, Giannis etc...

It's Garnett.

That's why I hate making these kind of comparisons. One guy is a future HOFer, NBA champion and league MVP who's played 20 years in the league, another is only in his 8th season who never really got the opportunity on his previous team to really do something.

If we're going to compare both players in their first 8 seasons, i'm taking AD without a single doubt. AD has been better in points, rebounds, FG%, 3pt%, FT% and blocks, has more All-Star selections and more All-NBA selections

AD has the perfect chance with the Lakers to be a LOT better than Garnett but without a ring or a league MVP award, he's not even going to be in the same discussion.

Let's wait another 12 years before comparing careers and saying who's better. Heck, we only actually have to wait 9 (the moment KG got traded to Brooklyn) more.

Kerr: Curry returning in '19-20 never a question

OK so we can't yak about comparing a couple of players here on a sports chat website for another 9 years? Good to know. I'll probably still be here.

Nope.

Well, at least we’re now all on the same page
