2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[tlance]

I was looking at it more from the Bucks standpoint.

Give Giannis a shooter.

They'd take a bit defensively, though.

If the Wiz trade Beal, I would expect a complete teardown.

So, they can flip Middleton for picks or prospects.

I would just love to see Giannis with a gunslinger.

I want the Wizards to tear it down, but I kind of doubt it ever happens.

Grunfield and Brooks are both incentivized to do exactly the opposite. Because waiving the red flag now on a team that has as much talent as the Wizards do will almost certainly result in both being fired before June.

They should both be gone anyway, barring an epic turn around, but they both need wins and those aren't coming if they seek all their pieces.

Rebuilding Sports teams need to find smarter ways to evaluate coaches/GMs than wins and losses.

You might be right.

I saw a couple still pictures taken from the video. They were grainy, but he did appear to have dark skin.

I think the kid is Latino. Based on the video and the interviews I've seen, it seems like almost every student at that school is Latino.

@bksballer89 @tlance , @shopson67 , @Wamu , @WiggyRuss , @CitySushi ..

You guys gonna watch Duke vs Kentucky?

I want to see Zion in live action against other top guys.

Frightening thing is, he's not even the best player on that Duke roster.

 

[LAD]

And not many think Nash should've been MVP, so there's that...

Sure am. Watching both top college games tonight

Raptors are playing some good basketball thus far. Leonard's sat out the past 2 games and the team is still playing great.

Looking forward to Michigan State/Kansas. That dook game? Well I'd rather watch reruns of Japanese golf on espn 8 the ocho.

 

[Wamu]

The only way this works is if Crockett & Tubbs are sitting in the front row.

Wait what? I missed the memo. College bball snuck up on me.

Yep. Opening night starts in 5 minutes

LaMelo Ball to enroll, play at Ohio high school

 

[DJ]

Oh no, don't be that guy. We're having a sports debate. If that means I've got a crush on you then you jack it thinking about @DJ and @trojanfan12 all day long.

When you're debating a guy and they start insulting you, especially with gay stuff, you've won in a landslide. Surrender accepted.

Or resort to talking about their job....like a person's job makes them better than another. And I'm not working the type of job he thinks.....because the kind he's talking about don't make much.....I'm not that, for sure.

Planning to!

Of course, I usually wake up at 5:30 Eastern, so sometimes my intention to stay up and watch late games turns into me sleeping on the couch.

Well, Lowry plays really good defense. Nash played none.

But Lowry shouldn't be in the MVP conversation either. Great start from him though.

 

[Mecca]

I love me some SG-A.

But, woah......

This kid has that Grand Mama.

seriously

there is a GREAT chance either Zion or Barret is on the Cavs next year. lol

everyone says Barret is the best prospect but Zion is very intriguing.

 

[trojanfan12]

We'll see. If they don't start playing defense then they will be a 7 or 8 seed.

IF they are working on it as much in practice as they say they are...they should improve as they learn to communicate and trust each other.

But they need to get here sooner rather than later because they can't dig themselves to big a hole or they'll be on the outside looking in.
