2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

I believe both guys lead their teams in points, boards and dimes.

But, One guy's team hasn't lost.

The other guy can't make his fucking free throws at the end of games.

Not really that hard to believe.

In all fairness....

he made one!

 

[tlance]

Wow. Talented cat there.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

So your solution to stopping him is p

Yes you did, but you gave the wrong reasons. His touches weren't impacted because he played with Steph & KD. They were impacted by the number of additional centers on the team. Not same same my dear.
In LA you all really have no other choice than to make him your starting center.

There are plenty of choices in LA

Difference is in GS they have players that can actually shoot the 3

You know......

There was another talented guy who couldn't get his Shit together for most of his career and never looked like he'd ever live up to his potential.

Brian Williams.

* Bison Deele *

Like Mcgee, he was more trouble than he was worth until he got picked up by the best team in the league and played with the greatest player of all time.

He was a factor in them winning a championship.

Shit went terribly wrong for him afterwards.

But, it goes to show a tiger can change his stripes in the right situation.

I would have never believed this numbskull could be capable of this.

But, so far....

I was very wrong.

Good for him.

You still don't get it.

There are plenty of choices in LA @ the 5?

What you don't realize is GS's game isn't predicated on only shooting 3's. Look at how many midrange jumpers they take. Look at how many guys are working without the ball- cutting & slashing to their sweet spots. Look at how many alley oops Dray & Steph give to the big guys down low.

If GS didn't have so many options @ the 5 JaVale would've probably averaged more PT thus averaging more points & DEFINITELY more blocks/steals per game.

There are no choices in La outside of McGee.

Unless you meant the Clippers?

Kuz at the 5 is a joke.

I'd play Candace Parker over Kuz.

Maybe Mo changes that when healthy.

But, Zubac's ass is glued to the pine.

So, it's Mcgee or LeBron.

 

[msgkings322]

Right?

LeBron had a 3 year deal with a player option for 4

1 = '18/'19
2 = '19/'20
3 = '20/'21

declines 4th year option since the Lakers never get a 2nd star and Ingram turns into a poor mans Rudy Gay and Ball turns into a poor mans Ricky Rubio....

Cavs develop Sexton, draft Zion, develop chachacha Cedi.....and have tons of cap space to sign Porzingis in FA.

PG- Sexton
SG- Cedi
SF- LeBron
PF- Zion
C- Porzingis

boom. roasted

JaVale >>>> Porzingis

 

[LAD]

teams just need to get physical with Curry....just hack the shit out of him night in and night out...make him earn it every single night and eventually he will wear down a little.

So your solution is to put him on the F/T line where he shoots 90% - which is far more accurate than from anywhere else on the court??

Think you totally missed his point

 

[LAD]

Think you totally missed his point

certainly is possible...

 

[msgkings322]

Wow. Talented cat there.

I feel like you missed an opportunity to make a pussy joke there

Yeah, the Warriors bigs are not out there launching multiple 3's.

That will change when Boogie is healthy.

But, Looney, Bell, Jones stay in their lane unless wide the fuck open.

 

[Mecca]

In all fairness....

he made one!

....and it won the game.

 

[Mecca]

So basically there are more offensive opportunities for him in LA than there were in GS....

Which is what I said.

Way more opportunities.

Like all bullshit aside, you can actually throw the ball to him in the post and he will go get you a bucket.

...and not just on lobs.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

....and it won the game.

It wasn't the greatest of performances....

but i'll take the W

The great thing about Boogie is he is a stretch 4/5. So, they will have multiple options when he's on the floor. He most certainly will be shooting 3's, but that shouldn't change how Looney, Bell & Jones play.

 

[LAD]

Speaking of Boogie, did anyone catch his interaction with AD & Gentry after the game last night? They said something that pissed Boogie off & he basically started to go off. I am curious to know what was said.

 

[Mecca]

Ffs....it would be so unfair if he didn't at least have that one weakness.

That's why we all need to pray Giannis never develops a jumper.

If he does....

[Shaqdaddy11]

Just pointing out to @WiggyRuss that Javale Mcgee is leading the NBA in blocks and FG% for those with 65+ attempts

Also averages 16 points, 8 rebounds and has a PER of 24.30 but who's counting....
