2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Heatles84]

My team is tanking and I'm glad they are. Is that not "owning it".

But they are reigning conference champs, aren't they? Not really debatable but try if you'd like.

The context in which you use that statement is the problem. Being the reigning conference champ in the event where you were at the very least in the playoff race would be something to hold your hat onto. But when you're fighting the Knicks on who can get the worst record in the league, it seems rather irrelevant to bring that point up.

It's just amazing to see a fanbase prop up conference titles. I used to loathe Lakers fans back in the day when we had Lebron, in all of our arguments, never seen them mention being reigning conference champs.

Sad.

 

[Heatles84]

But Lebron did come back and he wanted to play with Kyrie......and they used Wiggins, Bennett and other assets to get Love.

I really don't know how you're not grasping the concept that you can't solely build off of the draft and become an NBA contender overnight.

I lived there.
It's the San Antonio of the mid west.
Wade wouldn't allow his kids to live there.
What more needs to be said?

good analogy...

must say i've never lived in Cleveland, but i have in San Antonio...

so that pretty much tells the story...

 

[DJ Fieri]

oh, but of course...

friends , family, neighbors ALL tell me they plan to retire in Cleveland...

 

[Wamu]

Nope, clearly knew that Lebron was always the better player than Wade. This was more of a hole in Wiggy's logic in terms of Miami vs. Cleveland. I felt it was a reasonable question.

wiggy's logic?

 

[msgkings322]

Bam is a nice player- i hate to be ripping him, but you are fucking delusional.

That's a gigantic lie

 

[Heatles84]

That's a gigantic fucking lie

FIFY

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Detroit just playing like straight dog shit

And why the fuck does Bruce brown keep starting?

He has to be the worst offensive starter in the entire league

He recently had a stretch of games of which in four of them he took TWO SHOTS

let me repeat....he started all four games and took TWO WHOLE SHOTS

Unfortunately, no. I'm at work. I will correct that as soon as I get home. lol

Work is a bad 4 letter word. That's where I'll be tomorrow. What an awful thought.

Yay for working from home on a consistent basis.

Must be nice to have that kinda discipline. Been there, done that. Too many distractions...

 

[thunderc]

Van Gundy and Jackson really wailing on the Thunder today for lack of effort on defense. They have done everything but call for Donovan’s head. I’ll do it, he has to go.

oh wait, they did...

that's what i get for turning off the broadcast early...

 

[bksballer89]

Heat,cavs, & Lakers all miss the playoffs.

What a time to be alive

 

[thunderc]

Thunder have won 3 in a row but they may have to beat Houston and Milwaukee to avoid Golden State. The announcers today were right, no one is more equipped to beat anyone than the Thunder, just too many lapses, not a well coached team.

Milwaukee will rest their guys so should be a easy w

 

[bksballer89]

Heat won't be eliminated until Tuesday due to Detroit losing

 

[thunderc]

Even though the Thunder haven’t beaten Denver all year I have to think they want to face them.
