2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

I hope Cuban sells the Mavericks.

Spo going to keep worrying about points in the paint while teams keep getting a free 40-60+ points from open 3's.

Such a crappy coach

 

[bksballer89]

Based on what I've seen in games vs the Heat this year, the Raptors are the team to beat in the East followed by the Bucks

 

[bksballer89]

Now I gotta go root for the Memphis Grizzlies tonight so this game won't come back to bite us in the ass

If the Raps are hitting the 3 they are almost unstoppable

[Taddy Mason]

thought they were going to ruin my relaxing drunken sunday with that first half

 

[tducey]

I'm not completely sold on Toronto just yet, I think the Bucks are the team to beat in the East.

 

[Sparhawk]

1st half : all aboard the fire Brett Brown bandwagon
2nd half : ran out of athletic tape wrapping up the ankles after jumping off.....

I am really not sure what to expect from the top East teams in the playoffs.

Milwaukee has the best player, but they have struggled in the playoffs in past seasons.
Toronto has a different team this year, but there are still questions to be answered.
Philly has the most talent, IMO, but also not sure what Simmons and Butler will do in the playoffs.
And Boston. What the heck can we expect from them?

The Bucks are the team to beat in my opinion.

If he is so bad why is he still coaching the Heat?

Detroit has been playing very well lately, so they could muck things up vs the #3 seed.
But, that #4/#5 battle is going to be brutal.

 

[tlance]

If he is so bad why is he still coaching the Heat?

Because he won 2 titles.

 

[bksballer89]

Because he won 2 titles.

Pretty much and he doesn't have a good roster so basically outside of this year he's been able to have them win more than they were expected to

Seriously?!? You're argument that @Wamu is wrong because he called it domestic violence?

He still pushed and kicked a woman. Maybe you don't support domestic violence, but it sure as hell looks like you support him pushing and kicking a woman and are just trying to "deflect" from that by focusing on him calling it domestic violence (which, by the way, is how it was reported) when it was actually probably assault.

Know why I am "deflecting" from calling it domestic violence? Because domestic violence is more than one occasion (usually many more) against a spouse, girlfriend or child. wamu even doubled down and said I didn't know what domestic violence was. If you told him he was wrong, what would happen to you (or him)?

Do you even know the entire story? The woman was not invited there, was asked to leave many times by many people, Hunt did walk away and was pushed into her when she fell. Did he push her? Yes.....but only hard enough to get her to stop pushing/hitting him. This was not a Ray Rice situation. Not even close.

was it a good look by him? Nope. Better way to handle it? Yep.....don't be in those situations in the first place. But there's a reason no charges were filed.

A cool thing about Colin Sexton- one of the biggest knocks on him coming out of college was his 3pt shot.

One of the beat reporters for the Cavs just said that the Cavs practice facility tracks all the shots in a well:

Inside the spacious Independence practice facility, the Cleveland Cavaliers have an internal monitoring system that tracks all players’ shots.

Earlier this season, 9,000 were hoisted in one week. Collin Sexton accounted for 3,000.


Sexton just broke the Cavs rookie record for 3 pointers in a season, and is shooting 39% from 3 on the season.

One thing I liked about Sexton in the draft was that he is a high quality guy with an incredible work ethic--- that work ethic helped him turn a weakness into a strength.

He is going to be a damn good player.

 

[dtgold88]

Oh you done it now! He gonna yell @ you. Stop deflecting. Admit your gaffe. Who are your unnamed sources?

want to triple down and say it was domestic violence and ask if I know what it is? You were wrong. You cannot man up and admit your gaffe. simple as that.

 

[dtgold88]

Sorry bro, but the police calls It that and if you ever kick your wife, your ass will go to jail

If I ever kicked my wife I'd expect to go to jail.

But she was not his wife and was the escalator in this situation after being asked numerous times to leave.

Very well put. Just needs to be turned more into a pass first player, though that might also come when he is playing with better players.
