2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[tlance]

somewhat fair point, but to be fair I coach kids and still play basketball at least once a week and would not base my ability to judge NBA players on defense on my coaching/playing.

I am high school coach. So Wiggy's "coaching kids" claim is just another unsolicited dig he always tries to bring out. And if you want to hear more about my resume you can PM me. But the fact that I have a rather substantial basketball resume puts me light years ahead of him, and that is the point.

I played a few years on the Washington Wizards...

Just wanted to point out as rookies Curry and Young have identical PER at 16.3.

You really love absolutes don't you?

Yep.

Which one is more efficient?

Which one played less bad defense?

Case closed.

PER does not really measure efficiency. It slightly penalizes for poor efficiency and favors higher usage rates.

 

[tlance]

Did she use the same ball as the guys, or the women's sized ball?

Good question.

I don't know, butnI would guess a women's ball.

Gilbert, is that you? I need to buy a gat.

Nance and Clarkson have improved soooo much. Clarkson is just a shotmaker, he make any shot. Nance has established a jumpshot and suitable 3 ball. Good role players once they get another star around Love and Sexton

I can't tell who will be better clarkson or nance. Clarkson when he is consistent is almost a star

He thinks the earth is flat.

Well that's nothing new, but I would be lying if I said I wasnt happy about Bostons misery

They just need defense, especially team defense. That happens with a young team, they cant stop anyone

Heat playoffs hopes are in major trouble if they don't have a 4th quarter comeback in them.

Would be nice to see one of your most important players try and give it a go in probably the biggest game of the season.

Don't have to always be at 100% to play

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Magic out everythinging the Heat right now.

 

[bksballer89]

2nd half disaster.

Could really us Chris Bosh about now

 

[bksballer89]

10 4th quarter points for D-Wade in less than 3 minutes

It is the only possible way Miami can win

Kelly had a terrible night.

 

[bksballer89]

Kelly had a terrible night.

Yep.

Just wish Winslow could have played.

Missing 6 games/2 weeks for a freaking thigh injury when the season is on the line is pretty frustrating

Something tells me if playoffs started 2 weeks ago that he wouldn't miss the entire series due to this minor injury.

 

[bksballer89]

Sticking with Dragic while he's playing poorly instead of going to Waiters who has been really good tonight makes zero sense to me.

No reason for Waiters to sit out the first half of the 4th in favor for Dragic.

I see zero sense of urgency from Spo. Dude is coaching like this is a regular game in December

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Yep.

Still...
17 point lead mixed in with a couple other double digit leads.
Road teams usually don’t make multiple runs.
Heat shooting has been shit.
Dragic bad, JRich bad, the list goes on.
