2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

that would surprise me.

this draft is just not that deep and the scouts love Reddish and how his game fits the NBA.....

but games like tonights certainly do not help things.

From earlier tonight

Hunter is really climbing up draft boards. At one point it was highly unlikely he went inside the top 10, now I cant see how he doesnt.

it does seem that Morant has firmly established himself as a top 3 player though.

Zion obviously #1, and then either Barrett or Morant at 2 and 3....

after that- you better hope your scouting department picks the right guy.

Nice job by Butler to take charge of the game late in the 4th when the rest of the team couldn't buy a basket.

how many guys are 100% by June after playing 82 regular season games and 3 playoff series

every single guy in the league is less than a 100% by then

to make excuses for a guy that averaged 37 minutes a night for 9 straight games before the Finals started is fucking horse shit.


and oh yah


EAD.

Here are some more facts for you:

1) JaVale McGee is averaging more than 8 points a game
2) LeBron signed in LA without a second star, or even a second halfway decent player
3) regardless of the stat line, players who average 15 minutes a game over 71 contests are in fact "rotation players"

There are plenty more, these are just a few of my favorites.

It was only highly unlikely to people who didn't watch him play regularly.

Didn't take long for the Rockets to blow an 18 point halftime lead

I think Middleton is a lot closer to Tier A then Bogdon is to tier B.

Middleton is becoming a primary guy to chase--not up there with Leonard and Durant- but its hard to call the guy a Tier B guy at this point as well.

I wonder if he will be good enough to be a legit #2 behind Giannis.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Celtics win tonight. Klay is out, Boston plays the Ws very well, this year the Warriors are actually more focused on the road, etc.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Ws win by 20 either

i bet both teams score points in this game too. And that at one point someone is called for a foul. And that one team wins and one team loses. lol

It seems to me that whenever a team gets crucified in the media they bounce back. Sometimes it's a dead cat bounce but I would bet that the Celtics win this one if I were a betting man.

I just want it to go 5OT so they're worn out for tomorrow.

last 7 games that Love has played the Cavs are 5-2.

they gotta shut his ass down.

ASAP.

interesting to see what hte Lakers do with LeBron.

I could not think anything better for LeBron then to get a solid 6+ months off after the insane load of games he has played over the last 9 seasons.

wow...

just wow.

Said it will be the longest running battle scene in TV AND MOVIE history.

Game of Thrones, when it started, had the highest budget ever for a TV series at 5M per episode

the budget for the last season is 15M per episode. Its going to be like 6 movies.
