2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[dtgold88]

Any stat is irrelevant if used out of context of efficiency, role, etc.

I try to always use stats in context. Sometimes I mess up. But you seem to be just trying to agitate here.

From what I have seen, you mainly just try to poke holes in whatever small piece of a post you can even when you agree with the main point.

I have to say, it is pretty darn annoying.

And from what I can tell you like to make extreme comments. Comical. Not annoying. Had you simply said Curry had a slightly better rookie season in your opinion it would be tough to disagree as it's a fair opinion.

 

[dtgold88]

And yeah. I was making fun of you.

I don't claim to be above that stuff.

Nor do I. I said I try not to. sometimes, yeah, hard to help it. But I don't get out of line when poking fun....and from memory can't say you have.

I think his time in Miami has already been perceived as him stacking his team in order to win. Especially when we consider he couldn't win in Cle the first time around.

It definitely was, same thing when he returned to Cleveland. That's why I said that if he went to say Philly or Houston as some suggested, it would be seen as him going to another stacked team.

I would say probably ridiculed by his dad the most. I would've hated to be raised in that family.

The funny thing is, being a good dad is actually the only compliment I've seen the "pundits" give him. lol

Ok.

But let me just ask this:

Has one single person disagreed that Curry's season was better?

I haven't seen a single 1.

So call it hyperbole or whatever you want. Nobody is on the Trae Young side and my original comment got @bksballer89 to think about his post and even back off his statement.

And here we are 4 days later still talking about it. When literally everyone is on the Curry's rookie year was better side.

Let it die already.

Well he certainly didn't win the first time around. Had he committed and stayed I'm not certain he couldn't have.

But he wanted to play with his buds which was his choice/right.

I promise this will be my last comment on the matter. But it is funny you keep talking about it and talking about in hopes of not talking about it.

Might want to practice what you preach little buckaroo.

Well now you done asked for the whole kit n kaboodle

As was the right for KD to pick GS over OKC & any other players that want to team up via FA.

But, that's a whole 'nother discussion.

It doesn't change the fact that he was tired of losing in Cle and went to play with other guys in their prime, effectively creating a stacked team.

Best post ever.

The Fizzdale GIF at the bottom might be the best possible way to end this post.

OR....

That was him mightily shoving his facts along with your own foot down your throat.

Again,

How often do I bring up my coaching experience? I certainly didn't here.

How often do you bring it up?

One thing I have respect for @dtgold88 on is that he does make an honest effort to respond to the post and not the poster.

You?

How much of a dbag are you?

You find a way to vehemently disagree with anything I post and you almost blindly support posts of those who kiss your ass.

You don't like me because I put you in your place and call you on your BS. I have made you look really bad on multiple occasions, so I get it.

But damn you try so hard. And yet still fail.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Clarkson is all about his own shot. As long as he isn't your PG, he's solid.

Both aren't starter level talents; they are best suited to be rotational players.

LOL at Cavs fans thinking Clarkson is almost a star.

 

[DJ Fieri]

i'd definitely watch that(obviously I watch all the Chiefs games anyhow), but since I've never seen Mayfield actually play i'd put it in the "must watch" category(basically that means the wifey BETTER not have plans that evening lol)...

Baker Mayfield vs. Money Mahomes...

I could see the hype already...

ESPN would be
