2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Hornsstampede2.0]

I figured the Spurs would go 1-2 in the Miami @Houston @Boston stretch

nice solid win to end the mini-losing streak

 

[DJ Fieri]

Just a matter of time till the Kings make their run.

 

[trojanfan12]

Good deal. I hope UCI upsets Oregon. I'll be rooting for them.

Not looking good right now. Gonna need you to root harder. lol

 

[trojanfan12]

Tacko Fall gotta make the NBA.

He can be good in short spurts like Boban.

That's what I'm thinking. I'm amazed at how well he moves. He's like an athletic Yao Ming. lol

 

[trojanfan12]

Maybe

But Boban is highly skilled and extremely efficient offensively. Taco is not. I think he can be a better defender than Boban though.

We shall see. Someone will give him a shot for sure.

If I remember what I heard correctly, he started playing pretty late. So he's still learning the game. He probably won't ever get to Boban's level, but if he can at least be solid offensively, he could be a decent player.

Big batch of suck in this Kings/Lakers game

Sign him to a 2 way deal. Keep him in the G-league for a year then bring him up the following year

Meanwhile in Toronto...

Surprised/stunned we aren't losing by 18-20. That's what I expected.

You might have forgotten the Lakers are playing the Kings.

Kings need to remember how to beat LA teams next season.

I'm convinced the Kings did this on purpose as part of the Kings/Lakers rivalry. Sacramento already knows they probably won't make the playoffs so instead, they decided to hurt the Lakers lottery chances by letting win this game

When I saw how bad they were playing in the 3rd quarter, that shot went through my head. I'm sure finishing .500 is a goal for them now and still reasonable, but keeping the Lakers as far away from a top 3 pick is important too.

lol yeah, my friend's brother attended there too...

#goAnteaters

One of the better nicknames in college. Might be behind only The Banana Slugs and Artichokes (not making that up.....@mecca might know who it is)

 

[dtgold88]

Shocker again.

You calling my post "stupid"

Point is, Curry's season was definitely better.

And at least I am consistent with my player assessments and use the same criteria. When statistical production is close (which it is in this case) you look at efficiency and defense. Curry was a lot better on both counts.

So if you want to argue semantics again, go right ahead. But I stand by my post.

Ok...but with these metrics Love is better than Klay on D. sure you want to go that route?

That said, "definitely better" is fair, but not the same as "not even close".

 

[dtgold88]

That was insane.

Lamb giving credit to Jesus...
Guess he/she is a Hornets fan.

Or anti Canada?

 

[dtgold88]

anything's possible, but hard to believe he's coming back.....

Irving critical of Celtics' implosion, D on Walker

You never know with Kyrie, he could go from I will never leave this great city to this place is shit in one week. I would have a hard time seeing him wanting to comeback if they don't even make it to the ECF's. I think he really does want to go to NY or Brooklyn

 

[bksballer89]

LMAO at anyone who gives Kyrie a deal longer than a 3 years
