2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

I guess the selection committee didn't watch many dook games to give them the # 1 overall seed. But they usually make mistakes every year. I didn't think a 19-14 Ohio State team deserved an invite.

And it was crazy that they (the committee) put the overall # 2 seed in the same bracket as the # 1 overall seed.

Most years agree on OSU at 19-14, but not a lot of options for a better AL team.....would also guess took into account Wesson out for much of their bad stretch at the end.

its just hard for me to believe taht was what you typed after LeBron getting crucified with the Cavs for sitting games for rest.

He's getting older now. I think folks get it that he needs to get all of the rest that he can.

Yeah, that's why I don't really use them. Even though I know that it can take awhile and usually don't eat anymore after the initial amount, I still usually either eat too much or like the last time, start doing something and am in the middle of it when it kicks in. lol

I can understand that. I know many people that feel the way you do. It did take me about 2 months to adjust to edibles after toking up for 30-something years. I like the fact I don't have to inhale & once you adjust the effects last longer.

The Wesson suspension had to factor in a lot for them to get that bid. I'd still like to know exactly what happened but the university has never given an official reason for the games missed. Or if they said why I just never saw it.

What the hell is he looking for!?!?!?!?

They deserved the #1 seed but them winning it was going to be very difficult. Too many flaws IMO

Hard to win if you suck at 3 pt shooting and free throw shooting.

They honestly should have went out in round 2 to UCF.

Funny thing is with the way the final 4 played out, I think if they won yesterday that they would have found a way to win the title.

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah I remember them lengthening the season to have more off days but was under impression this year was same as last. Guess not. I kind of like it, but OK either way.

I like it until the end of season.

Last year having no basketball from early June sucked balls.

I like when the season finish right before the draft because it feels like the season continues into August due to FA/summer league in July.

Well blame some of that on Cavs (or Durant) as it could have gone another week in a competitive series.

But I agree I like draft coming right after Finals, then FA right after that.

As the game was ending I thought for sure Coach K's Crew was going get the W. It was a helluva game. And while I have never liked dook I even felt bad for those kids. That was a tough loss for them w/ alotta expecations on their shoulders. Do you think all the freshmen go pro?

RJ, Zion, and Reddish for sure.

If I'm Jones I would not unless they have some great PG coming next year who would take his spot.

Jones isn't as good as his brother. Last i saw he was going early to mid 2nd round which ain't good for a freshman.

Earlier in the year he was mid 1st round

How long do you think it'll take those 3 to get drafted, will they be gone in the lottery? And until you mentioned it I didn't know TJ's older brother plays for the Twolves.

Yeah, I'm sure that if I switched over to edibles, I would feel the same and the "high" does last longer with edibles. For now though, I prefer the "instant gratification" of smoking. lol

Nothing wrong w/ that.

Yeah they're gone early.

Zion and RJ should be gone in the top 3.

Reddish should be gone before #10. If he has a good combine then probably before that

 

[tlance]

Yeah I think Sexton and Morant can play together as well. I think Sexton has proved he is can get better at distributing but he is can be a great scorer AND shooter. Seems like more of a C.J. and Morant can be Damian. Thinking about this combo gets me very excited.

First off, Gilbert when he gets his guy seems to be pretty successful with draft picks imo. He loved Sexton, seems to be a good pick. He has also loved certain guys that Griffin ended up not taking so I love his evaluation on talent.

If CLE does get the #2 I would hope for the franchise's sake they don't have R.J. over Morant...because like you said and what I believe...it isn't close. I think Morant is going to be WAY better than R.J.

I can't argue with that. I think Morant is going to be special.

But I am higher on Barrett than you. I think he is going to be a very good player too. Possibly an allstar caliber player. Morant could be more than that.

The funny thing is if Kim KardASSian was standning next to that statue she'd be wider.

Yeah I figured none of them would last very long. I'm interested to see Zion @ the next level. He's a freak athlete. You think he's the next can't miss prospect? Not sure what he'll really do in the NBA. Never been good @ guessing what players will do from college to the pros.

I mean anyone who watched Duke most of the year knew they were going to have trouble making the final four/winning the title game.

This was a very flawed team. Poor shooting team from the ft line and 3 point line. Relied too much on RJ and Zion.

Also didn't help that they paired Duke (#1 overall seed) with the top 2 seed.

In reality, MSU should have been in Gonzaga region while Michigan should have been in Duke region.

Also most importantly the tournament is a crapshoot. All it takes is one off day and you're gone as it is single elimination.

I picked Michigan State and UVA in every bracket I did.

The problem for comes with all my other picks.

I have been saying all year that Duke would get beat in the tournament for all those reasons. As talented as they are, they have their flaws. And all it takes is 1 game.
