2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

have seen a lot of that.

IF I was the Lakers I would not count on Kawhi thats for sure.

Id def. try for him, but I would have a few backup plans.

Agree. I love Kawhi and would love him to be a Laker. But if Boogie is close to what he was before his Achilles fell off, I'm not sure I wouldn't rather have him. t would be interesting to see what Lebron could do with a top level big.

Leaving Cleveland is good for whatever business you are in

SHOTS FIRED!

starting statues like Whiteside nad Olynk together in the front court is prob not a great idea....

id stagger those 2....play someone at PF that can move.

How's it working out with the agile Tristan and whoever the fuck the Cavs put on the court with him?
Heat at least are watchable.
Coming out on the wrong side of some close games, but it all evens out, plus there was no expectation level to be anything but what they are.

Whiteside has been fine for the most part.
Olynk has not.

It's been a long time since I last posted. I hope everyone's been doing alright.

That’s good they are just bad enough to miss the playoffs and not get a high pick. The worst position to be in. Come to papi, Zion

Nothing against Lowry, he's a very good player and underappreciated, but 2 things here:

1. Nash didn't deserve 2 MVPs, probably not even one. He stole at least one from Kobe.

2. The game is really different now, especially this year. Offensive numbers are way way up for everyone vs then.

Agree on both points.

However Lowry is off to the best start of his career.

And even though offensive numbers are up as you say. No one has more assist per game then Lowry. In fact no one is even close right now.

Even the refs want the Cavs to get the #1...thank you, I guess lol

 

[DJ Fieri]

Cleveland's 3 pt shooting was what really beat the shit out of Toronto in those series.

That is no longer the same issue it used to be.

Cavs shot like 43% against the Raptors from 3 last year in that sweep.

the series before it was like 46% from 3.....

spread the Raptors out....and launch from 3- that was always the CAvs strategy against them.

Talking about the past, huh? That's what Cavs fans are left with....

What's that? I been saying Cousins all along....LOL.

 

[trojanfan12]

mustve been nice to jump on that bandwagon- celtics, multipe championships....great team...hall of fame players....im sure it was easy to turn your back on the hometown cavs and never look back.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit richfield colisuem coudlnt of been 10 minutes from where you grew up

hey you are free to do what you want- i have never said otherwise- i have seen PLENTY of Ohians root for the Steelers- the Browns either sucked or were not in existence for the past 2 decades.....i get it- i would just never been one of those people....it appears you feel comfortable with it- - good for you.

and i agree with you on lebron- total front runner and bandwagoner. you guys have that in common

 

[Shanemansj13]

Uhh ohh RW went down and it looked bad. Hope he is okay

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Oh shit.....

@thunderc

I'm praying it's a sprain.

Yeah, it's taken me a little longer to come around on Boogie. Not that I didn't think he was a great player, his attitude worries me. But I think Lebron could help keep him in check and I think Lebron and a top level big would be very scary.

But he's gotta be at least 90% of what he was or I wouldn't want to do it.

Not good for OKC. Hope it's not too serious.

He'd be an excellent center and if we could bring back Chandler on a vet minimum deal, it'd be nice. He's from the LA area, I can't wait to see him suit up and backup McGee.
