2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[thunderc]

Thunder with a 39-10 3rd quarter during my rant, I might be on to something.

Best game of the night.

Pistons had a shot until Blake's inbound to Ish's feet.

At least it wasn't another 30pt thrashing.

Damn, y'all think Pg13 has a SportsHoopla account?

He is killing us now....lol

Add OKC to the list of teams with 120+ points tonight lol

 

[Bolts]

Sure would be great to give the Celtics a pick outside of the lottery

 

[ManuForever]

You're not a real NBA fan if you don't have league pass IMO unless you have a valid reason

I don't have the money to dish out for that shit. Lol

And our 3rd win will come against the Mavs....

Wouldn't count the Mavs out. They aren't great by any means but Doncic is SPECIAL. Smith Jr. is legit as well. They'll give the Lakers fits for sure the way LA has been playing.

Understandable. Not all of us can be big ballers

@bksballer89 you think Richardson should be taking over 17 shots per game?

Struggling Lonzo says he needs to 'get engaged'

i dunno if his son can even be a "big baller".......

thus far Rondo has outplayed him pretty steadily.

"Coming off his worst two-game stretch of the young season, Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball said he's "not doing [his] job" and needs to get more "engaged."

Walton would not say whether he will shake up his starting lineup again when the Lakers host the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday.

The Lakers have been outscored by 44 points over the seven games with Ball on the court, according to ESPN Stats & Information tracking. And in the four games Rondo has played, the Lakers have outscored opponents by 17 points with Rondo on the floor."


sounds like Lonzo might get sent to the bench...will be interesting to see how it works out- but i think at this point its clear Rondo is playing better.

 

[bksballer89]

@bksballer89 you think Richardson should be taking over 17 shots per game?

17 no but they have obviously pushed him to be leading man and to be more aggressive on offense so i get it. Saw this coming since preseason. If he's at 15 per game at the end of the year, i won't have any complaints

Don't look now, but the 5-3 Sacramento Kings are not only in playoff position but are THREE games ahead of the Rockets, and 2 1/2 ahead of LeBron James' Lakers. Nemanja Bjelica (21 points, 8 boards tonight in win at Orlando) proving to be a really nice pickup...

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist just turned 25 and he is playing in his 7th NBA season.

He seems to be finally turning the corner if you ask me. He really reminds me of Gerald Wallace with his defense, rebounding, blocks, etc. from the 3.

I think a team could have stolen him- and now hes consistently being one of the better defenders in the league. A great team guy as well, and he seems to know the limits on his offensive game where he is shooting 53% thus far this year.

I always thought this guy would have a good career- big time disapointment for a #2 overall pick, but i think he can still be an important guy. I would take him thats for sure as a guy off the bench to play some great D and give some big time energy.

lol

seriously though

if you HAD to pick...

Fox, Hield, Bagley, WCS

or

Ingram, Hart, Ball, Kuzma

pretty similar. I think Fox will be the best out of all of them.

@Arizona_Sting

It is alarming how many blown picks were made in the Ryan McDonough era.

Len was a bust and is gone.

Chriss underperformed, got traded and his 3rd year option is getting declined.

Bender underperformed and his 3rd year option gets declined.

Outside of Ayton, Warren and Booker he did a Shit job drafting and even worse in free agency.

Did he draft Kendall Marshall or was that his predecessor?

The 2016 draft was icing on the cake as far as his firing goes. Booker fell into his lap at 13 and Ayton was a reward for his own incompetence. Outside of that *Warren was a fine pick* he's been complete shit. Trading Bogdanovic to the Kings to move up for Chriss when Bogdan ended up being better than both Chriss and Bender, the 4th and 8th picks is pretty laughable.

I like the pieces we've assembled, but it's taken far too long.... the fact that our PG rotation was complete shit heading into the season was the last straw for Sarver. I rarely agree with Rob $arver, but he made the right call. James Jones will be a good GM.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

The Kings are what I thought the Suns were going to be this year. A young team that was hungry and came out exceeding expectations.. especially after that home opener blowout win over Dallas. Then a tough schedule plus Booker's injury kinda ended those hopes reeeeal quick.

Happy for you though, as someone that's suffered a ton much like Kings fans, I can't wait until we start showing signs of not being a colossal joke.

 

[tlance]

I would rather have Covington.

Fultz is getting better.

But, he's not helping the Wolves anytime soon.

Sure.

But so would the Sixers.

A Butler deal would only make sense IMO if Fultz was the centerpiece.
