2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

When have you ever known Lebron to keep anything quiet and away from the media? Gotta know who you're dealing with. Lebron has played the game better than any player in history.

what's Lebron gonna do? At a presser say, "Luke was a real meanie to me and hurt my feelings?"

I think that last part is true. If you had to bet money on GS with Kyrie against Houston you're taking Houston?

I'd have to see how that team played together first. Again thank you for helping me with my thesis

Have to say I rip on the Tribe a lot for not being willing to spend but even if they had the money I would understand staying out of this. Sure, he's had a much better career and is younger, but his 2018 was pretty much the same as Aaron Hicks.

Yeah, I'm not terribly impressed with Harper. I mean, the guy can play...but I'm not sure anyone is worth a 10 year deal.

That's a looong time to be paying that kind of money and if the guy has a serious injury that hurts his ability to play at the level that money command...you're screwed.

On the other hand, I'd hate to see him go to the damn Giants and hurt the Dodgers every year for the next 10...that would get old. lol

So without seeing how they played not in you to take a guess? Hell, if you want you can even lie and say Houston.

lol

I'd almost want that to happen just to see what @ChiefsLakers67 had to say about it.

I hear ya, but this isn't the NBA where one player can make that big of a difference. Pretty sure Pujols was far better when he signed that deal with the Angels and how long do you think they wished they could get out of it?

You're all salty today, I love it!

Me? Nah, I'm good. I usually get a laugh when adults are afraid to answer simple opinion questions in a sports forum.....like something would happen if you were wrong.

No I mean it...passive aggressive, snarky, argumentative. I recognize the symptoms, I often have them too.

 

[Gman]

Yeah. He's played too few games too sporadically to get any idea of what Stevens wants to do with him. Seems to me it is entirely based on his health and the situation.

All I know is the C's look like, play like, and are a better team when Baynes is in the rotation.

The C's just don't have enough bulk inside without Baynes in there mixing things up... and when the C's aren't holding there own from a defense/rebounding perspective, opposing teams have gashed them for huge runs far too often this season... just in the last 2 games we have great examples of this: both Chicago and Toronto putting up giant extended runs that have amounted to KO blows.

 

[dtgold88]

A good read by Windy....

Where Lakers and Celtics can look for inspiration

I'd say not really, check and check. No still to the salty, though. All good.

Well yeah thats what you would say

What is the "smart" solution to the dilemma?

Harper wanting $300+ mil is a fucking joke. Trout should be making double him

He will when his contract is up in 2 years. That's how it works

Tell him don't come back

 

[Gman]

Tell him don't come back

I don't disagree... but isn't the NBA threatening to punish the Pelicans if they don't play Davis?

 

[dtgold88]

Yeah just heard about this. should either play him or not.
