2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

Oh no not you! You're one of the dumdums that goes to that tired bit? Saying you don't care about something is simply that, you DON'T care. Pretty simple really.

Then why say it? To clown someone, in the case the board shit-stirrer. That's amusing to me. You got a problem with TL;DR too?

If I don't care about something I tend to move on. Not "care" enough to reply. But that's me.

I get it.....you played the role of Happy Either Way Guy like so many fans do. Now if they make the playoffs you'll be happy, and if they don't you'll be happy because you can say it's what you wanted all along.

Well played.

LOL yes because it is legit in this situation.

No reason for us to make the playoffs outside of Wade having 1 or 2 more playoffs moments.

We are 1-9 against possible opponents (Bucks, Raptors, and Sixers)

Why else would I want to make the playoffs? To see them get swept

This isn't a team like Orlando with some long playoffs drought where making the playoffs is needed or a team like Brooklyn where making the playoffs show how fast they were able to get over Billy King ruining the team

I forgot he resigned.
So you’re happy to have his always injured body for 4 more years?
He misses large chunks annually..
Including playoffs..

But, hes just missing games so the Cavs get lotto balls... too funny

don't recall him missing many (or any) playoff games last 2 seasons here. First season was a fluke injury.

I'm OK he resigned. Had he not I wouldn't know if he'd be coming back and I wouldn't want to lose him for nothing. His contract is not a crazy deal compared to many others. Also the type of player they might want when they are looking to make a move likely in the 2020-21 season. If not, he's tradeable before then.

Strawman. Never said that. My point? Cleveland sucks and nobody chooses to go there, all other things being equal.

I think you are going to find out the hard way this summer that none of the elite guys want to go to LA and that the LeBron James "era" of the Lakers will be a massive failure. Well- itll be successful for LeBron business wise, etc. just not on the court for him.

whats really funny is how bad Riley has managed the Heat the last few years. They have no cap room, the least draft assets in the league, and cant even make the playoffs in the East.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

They cut him for tax reasons

I always say business is business.
Im assuming its not costing him salary, but saving the Heat money?

If I don't feel like trolling someone I do too. But trolling Wiggy is always amusing

You wont have to worry about him missing playoffs games, prob for the remainder of contract if Cavs keep him.

Something to have them paying avoid luxury tax this year

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Your point was to rip Cleveland because Wade left his kids at home. I said he did so because he wasn't gonna uproot his family for a 1-year deal. Then you said what about Chicago. Once again I showed you were off base as that was a 2 year deal (never mind also home).

Not even noon and 2 blunders? Neither of which can you man up and own.

Had nothing to do with years.
He didn’t want them in Cleveland.
Not getting into how I know, but it’s 100% fact.

Then it had to be done to avoid repeater, or however it works.

 

[WiggyRuss]

If I don't feel like trolling someone I do too. But I am obsessed with Wiggy and feel compelled to respond to him

nice! lol

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I feel good for Orlando

Its a nice step for them to make the playoffs this year- especially because I think there 2 most high ceiling players, Bamba and Isaac, arest ill so young with so much upside. I think at leaset one of them will become a very very good player at some point.

Orlando took that step which is cool. They should continue to improve if they can keep Vucevic.

But wouldn’t they be better off winning 20 games and hoping for a top 3 pick?

Maybe, maybe not. He seems confident.

Yea I know. I just wish they did it earlier. Even Ira said it wasn't a good look for an organization that's all about culture

Looks like he can watch the games with your overpaid players, right?

They had injuries and were in a playoff race.
Not enough bodies to cut him.

Awesome comeback...

 

[shopson67]

Looks like he can watch the games with your overpaid players, right?

Cavs salary: 123,699,800
Heat salary: 125,032,626

Cavs wins: 19
Heat wins: 38

Cavs cost/win: $6,510,515.79
Heat cost/win: $3,290,332.27

Which team was overpaid?

so if he signed a 2 or 3 year deal you know for a fact his kids would have stayed? Did they go to Chicago.
