2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

But i was looking forward to attending a playoffs game

Cmon up to Toronto

 

[WiggyRuss]

Back on track.......now could they figure out a way to sit Love tomorrow? and maybe a setback for TT?

cant sit Love after sitting him tonight

and holy shit the Cavs front court was overmatched tonight--- Griffin and Drummond and the Cavs were missing Love, TT, and Zizic (who has actually been playing moderately well and of course would play a solid amount vs. that huge Detroit front court).

It was a massacre.

Lakers aren't gonna lose that game, we know this.

they cant...i hesitate to call any game a "must win" game with 20 games still left, but man....the Lakers cant lose this game vs. the Suns.

I prayed to Jayson "Our Lord and Savior" Tatum asking him to help Ingram become better. It was good.

Seriously though, he's finishing through contact and hitting free throws far more consistently. That's where you see the bump in PPG, now if he starts getting his 3's to fall you'll start to see monster scoring games. The Grizzlies' announcers the other day were salivating and said any team would be lucky to have a guy like that. Quietly shooting 50% on the season.

Look at Ingram's and Tatum's numbers.....they are very comparable.....nobody wants to hear that but it's the truth.

It'd be hilarious, but maybe a 5% chance of it happening.

The Clippers refuse to tank.

Unreal.

lol...sorry

im loving it though

the Clippers dont want to make the playoffs, have had a good team the last few years, never tanked and got a bunch of high lotto picks, and they have a team full of gritty talented guys who are playing their asses off--- go and trade their best player....get rid of Bradley too......Harrell, Lou, Gallo, - young guys like Shamet and SGA stepping up.....tons of cap room next year....you gotta like where this is going.

across the Staples center you have a bunch of high lotto picks, LeBron, tons of expectations, tons of people fawning all over them, and they are just folding. and you just do not get the same feeling

 

[DJ Fieri]

last one and it's time to go get the pizza....

If all he said was Klay is better than Love then of course I would not imply that means he thinks Klay is better than AD or Embid. But he added to that. You know, that comment he made you defended by saying it applied when players are similar in talent. Do we really need to go through this again? You finally came out and admitted the gaffe once. I wont ask you to keep doing it.

Pepperoni?

thing is- it just seems like Tatum has balls. He was maybe the best guy, at times anyway, on a team that got to Game 7 of the ECF last year. He thrived under pressure. He plays very solid defense.

Ingram just does not seem to have the same balls. I havent seen him step up in crunch time like Tatum did over and over last year. And he is certianly not on the same level defensively- not too mention he has a ffull year of experience on tatum.

Tatum just seems more athletic too- which is i am sure why his defense is gnerally regarded as much better.

Ingram has played well lately, but like last night, the Lakers are up 2 with 2:20 to play, and then Ingram disapears and the Lakers lose by double digits. Thats not Ingrams fault exclsuviely- but it also has to be said- its not like he did anything to prevent it either

It looks like neither team wants to win so far. I imagine it's the complete opposite of what the Philly-GS game looks like.

Mecca hates the fucking Lakers and even she doesn't believe the last part of what you just said.

What did he say thats not true?

 

[DJ Fieri]

If they do, the season is over ane Luke gets fired before they board the flight.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Ayton is gonna be a beast some day.

Honestly- its funny he got drafted by the Suns because his best comp., if you ask me, is Amare.

[DJ Fieri]

That plant burger from Carl's is damn good......you can barely tell it's not beef.

 

[Bolts]

Maybe not a ton of high lottery picks? You could count LeBron in that too technically.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Suns are shooting 60% from the field since the Lakers dont have anyone that can stop Ayton.

Ayton has been great at stretches and then goes cold, as does any rook, but you cant let the Suns shoot 60% from the field...not even like the Suns are hot from 3 either just 3/11 from 3...they are just getting whatever they want at the basket right now.

Lakers are shooting over 50% themselves though. Not much defense in this game at all.

 

[WiggyRuss]

its just bad coaching if one of Kuzma, Ingram or LeBron is not out there....

 

[bksballer89]

Yep but everything else was spot on. 2 lottery picks not including bron
