2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[dtgold88]

Been a minute since I've cashed in fantasy with a zero point player.

Why is it Jerebko DNP'd with KD out lol

Rough night for me. Didn't check but had to be among the lowest.

Boogie

Today's hero tommorows goat

Everyone still think he isn't getting 15-20 mil?

Who thinks that?

 

[dtgold88]

Browns have weapons on O for sure now, but the O line is suspect and that matters.

Among the best in the league last year second half of season. Baker was hit something like 9 times last 8 games. Think next closest was 28.

Losing Zeitler could hurt, but I doubt they get rid of him without having confidence in Corbett.

 

[dtgold88]

It's ok, everyone knows you are never wrong

Who said I wasn't wrong, which I've admitted numerous times? Seemed clear what I said.....might not want to claim a "win" over 1 game.

But if you want to, I would think anyone who says Green is better than Love is ready for his/her mea culpa, right?

 

[Heatles84]

You should. Might learn something. There are more wings who are solid defenders who can shoot but don't pass/handle the ball much, than 20-10 guys who can hit 3s.

Yeah.....but Klay's one of the best 3-and-D guys in the league. There's a reason that Kevin Love has been nullified in just about every Finals series in which he's gone against the Dubs. There was one game that Love missed due to a concussion in 2016, and everyone on this forum knew that this would actually help out the Cavs (which it did). Love's a poor defender, Klay is not. Not sure how you can come to the conclusion that Love's better than Klay, other than he wears a Cavs jersey and Klay doesn't.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Possible?

Yes. Anything is possible.

Probable?

Hell no. Mahomes is another level of special.

This.

 

[dtgold88]

Nice deflection. Oh wait you never do that

where is the deflection? I agreed. Let's go by 1 game to make our judgements.

so is Green vet minimum or out of league?

 

[trojanfan12]

oh i dont expect the Browns to get t othe super bowl or anything this year

i mean baker is still a 2nd year player, they have tons of young guys, barely over a year ago they were ocming off an 0-16 season

Super Bowl certainly isn't out of reach for them though. Wilson won it with the Seahawks in his 2nd year. The Super Bowl window has kind of changed in the NFL. Teams are trying to win it while their qb's are on their rookie deal and they have more money to spend other places.

I think they're younger overall than the Seahawks were though. The Browns definitely look like they are trying to win sooner rather than later.

Better inside scorer, rebounder? Probably a better passer? Can create his own shot? One of the few 20-10 guys who can hit 3s?

Love has also been a #1 player on a team and played well. At this point, Klay is the #3 player and that Curry and Durant guy help him out by attracting defenders. Now Cousins, too.

100% they are. Not just Baker, but in next 3-4 years will also have to pay Garrett and Ward and to a lesser extent Njoku, Chubb and Ogunjobi.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Who thinks that?

Well hurricane but seemed not too many were thrilled with the idea

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Rough night for me. Didn't check but had to be among the lowest.

I think a lot of people struggled that's how I managed.

Got 11 points from pj Tucker too

But cousins, Thompson, harden, and Booker all made the night for me

Anytime Love has been the #1 player on his team's, they haven't done dick. That was the notion in Minnesota, and in year 1 without Lebron (granted Love's been injured), the Cavs have one of the worst records in the league this year.

Klay has never had the opportunity of being a true number one. I would hope that Love would be a better inside scorer given that he's 6'10 and classified as a PF. Klay has good distribution skills as well as Love. Klay can also create his own shot as well and is a better scorer overall than Love.

Minnesota won 40 games in a rugged Western Conference his last year without much help.

There's probably a reason Klay has never had the chance to be a true #1. How do you think his team would do if he were the #1 on a team with talent = to Minnesota when Love was there?

And, no, Klay cannot create his shot as well as Love. The guy is a wing player and has scored 40 without dribbling more than a handful of times. come on.

someone else has been moved to my Never Play Again list after last night. Alan Crabbe. Can't think of the others who have made it off hand, but I know Olynyk is another.

 

[CitySushi]

I also saw "what Green does". Does this game mean he's maybe a vet minimum guy soon?

Seriously that’s what you took away from what I posted?

 

[msgkings322]

But it's not just one game with Klay and you know this. The deflection is talking about Green when the topic is Klay and you know this too.

Please never change

 

[bksballer89]

@Stakesarehigh what's up with your pistons?

 

[shopson67]

only when hungover

...or in process of becoming hungover. Here in Rochester a garbage plate is more likely when intoxicated however...

 

[dtgold88]

Seriously that’s what you took away from what I posted?

Yep...because it is. You wanted to declare last night's game as proof Klay is a max guy.

Did you forget what you said?

Great defensive performance. I hope @dtgold88 was able to watch this game and see what Klay does. Dude locked up on defense had amazing rim runs and finishes, post ups and overall had 30 points. Dude is a max player no question.
