2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Mecca]

Zion is in beast mode and it's only halftime.

 

[Mecca]

Please post something, anything, from a semi-intelligent poster from the last 3 years that says anything other than Cleveland is the team to beat.

Because your post that got this conversation started said that every year most people were picking against Cleveland to win the East. And that is a flat out lie.

Even during the Collapse at the end of the Season, outside of maybe 2 posters, everyone picked the Cavs to come out of the East.

EVERYONE.

 

[Black Adam]

Didn't you post this before the Toronto game?

LOL

thanks for the curse, Mecca...

 

[Black Adam]

Well, the Cavs are doing a spectacular job....lol

Bro, there is no shinning of a third this large.

Just take the L and pray for LeZION.

gotta love the auto-correct feature...

 

[Mecca]

He's annoying.....even more annoying than I can be sometimes.....if I'm being honest.

Disagree.

You are way more annoying because you actually have a clue what you're talking about.

He doesn't.

The fan that caught the ball that Kyrie threw into the stands during his little episode of butthurt went to the next game and gave the ball to Murray.

It's also....Army. I know it's Veteran's Day so I should be nice, but, I mean, Army.

 

[Black Adam]

Whew....thanks Broski

lol, don't feel like the lone ranger. I'm posting my phone right now too...

Hate posting with it because that's where I make most of my spelling errors...

but, the Mrs gotta shop at some point...

Trivia time.

Who was Mike Kruzawooooski's (spelled correctly) coach when he played @ Army?

Wasn't it Bobby Knight?

 

[trojanfan12]

Yeah.

I still think Lonzo can have a Mike Conley type affect on a team.

He may never be a All-star because he won't have the numbers.

This is the Curry era. Everyone thinks scoring/ shooting defines
You as a player.

But, he can be the heart of a team.

He is getting better. I just don't know if it's quick enough to coincide with Lebron's age.

I hate how unfairly he's judged at times.

This is the player he's been his whole life.

The folks who swallowed the hyperbole and are disappointed, obviously never watched him play in high school and college.

Yeah, I agree.

Magic averaged 20ppg, 11apg and 7rpg. I don't see Lonzo ever getting there. But I could see him getting to 15-16ppg, 8-9apg and 7-8rpg, which would be really good.

But, as you point out, in today's NBA, that probably isn't enough to get him to many, if any, all star games.

 

[Wamu]

Wasn't it Bobby Knight?

Yep. And Coach Knight was a calm & mellow coach.

 

[msgkings322]

Only if you also play DPOY defense like Draymond

@Mecca, @Mecca, @Mecca, @Mecca


Jammin', the Prince of Provo, Duh BYU Bomber, Da Ice Cold Assassin. Doesn't matter how many nicknames this future HOFer has Jimmer tore it up for 75 (putting up 40 in the 4th) in some pro league on the other side of the planet.

Did Jellybean Bryant ever score 40 in the 4th? I think NOT!

 

[Mecca]

@WiggyRuss....I came in under the allowed charter count....lol



How I wish this were true.

Alas, we are still the Clippers.

So, I will believe it when I see it.



#DontBelieveTheRantingsOfNamelessFacelessMen



And yet one rival executive calls the Clippers “the most attractive free-agent situation of all of them, because none of the available free agents want to be LeBron’s caddy. And they can become the greatest player in the history of a franchise in an unbelievable market with the wealthiest owner in the league. Why would that not thrill you?”

Rival exec: 2019 free agents don't want to be 'LeBron's caddy'

 

[Black Adam]

And in other news, the Chiefs get through their trap game with the Cardinals...

I'll take the 9 and 1 start...

Rams next week. could get ugly...
