2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

I would disagree. His per 36 numbers are right in line with last year, but the slight improvement in FT% actually makes him a bit more efficient on offense. His defensive numbers (stocks) are slightly down, but that might be expected with a different roster and the Butler trade. If he keeps producing 15/9/8 and 2+ stocks and a FT% north of 65, he's gold.

His numbers are fine. But he has a lot of times where he seems to disappear.

And the top 3 seeds in the West right now are...

The Blazers, Grizzlies, and Clippers!


Just like we all expected.

Bro the Warriors are still the 2 seed. Jeez don't bury us yet, were not dead!

The greatest Owner in the NBA totally cocked it up.

Did you see this part?

It's been over for years and they knew it.


Cavs front-office officials declined to be quoted for this story but disputed that Altman gave James any indication the trade would not occur. They also said Altman asked James whether he would commit to the Cavs long-term if Irving were not traded, and James said no.

And he still left....

You are right......GS and LAC are tied.....he didn't see that maybe?

What's up with Leaf?

Is he hurt?

Obviously, he isn't getting minutes over Sabonis or Turner.

But, 1ppg, 1 board in 7 minutes is not what I expected coming into the Season.

I really thought his game was tailor made for today's NBA.

It's still early.

He may need a change of scenery.....they are a deep team.....I envisoned him as a poor man's Ryan Anderson coming out of Westwood....

I wonder if Kyrie wasn't traded and someone else owned the Cavs would LeBron have stuck around?

Who knows.

But, his dislike of Thunder Dan was clearly a factor.

You really trying to get me to add a little flavor and piss in the Thanksgiving gravy, aren't you?

That I agree with. He came up big in the Jazz game with some 4th quarter pointz, but he still has TO problems and while he was close to a triple double at halftime, he didn't appear to be that active in the 3rd quarter, though that might have more to do with Embiid being out because of foul trouble. He also doesn't appear to be finishing strong at the rim.

Something to definitely keep an eye on.

Clearly joking.

Me too.

Chandler Parsons, Anderson, Rashard Lewis-ish.

He had injury woes last year.

Not sure what the problem is this Season.

Tied my ass. Half game ahead of 3 others.

The Cavs should have drafted Tre Young instead of C

Who knows.

But, his dislike of Thunder Dan was clearly a factor.

Will Danny Deep Pockets be able to save his franchise or will sell the team? I think Danny Dollarz should sell & go back to Detroit where he belongs. Fucker's probably a meeeechegan fan too!

I think we should take a break and just start trolling the Celtics.
I mean, c'mon, is Jaylen Brown secretly dating a Kardashian????

Lord, which one?

I would never do something like that. I take this site very, very, very, very seriously & would never joke around.

lol, yeah diff sites have it different.

They are the same % as the Grizz, Clips, & Thunder, but they more wins, but they also have more losses. So I guess it depends on what you look at when number of games played is diff.

The site I saw the standings on must have been going off of number of losses to order teams with tied percentages.

Damn it, WAMU!!!!

3,499 word breakdown on the difference between Sexton and Young coming soon from Wiggy.....when are ya gonna learn?

it would not surprise me if they moved him at the deadline or in the offseason.

Right now without Rondo they need Ball to step up- and thus far he has a total of 2 points in 2 games since Rondo got hurt.

Ball got out to a scorching start- shooting 41% from 3 in October, but since the calendar has flipped to November, Ball is 25.8% from 3 and 28.6% from the field- which are just horrific numbers. They make Ricky Rubio look like Reggie Miller.

Still a small sample size- and if I was the Lakers I would give Ball plenty of time- mostly because if they traded him now they would get 50 cents on the dollar, and with Rondo hurt they have very very little PG depth on the roster outside of putting LeBron there for large stretches of time.

What do you think about Ball for Josh Jackson?

Jackson probably has more value.

But, Mikal is going to take that starting spot, long-term.

Ariza was a ill advised signing and Warren get buckets.

One or more of those Dude's needs to get dealt for a legit pg prospect.

Lord, which one?

A rumor I heard (or maybe just made up, not sure). Klowhee is tired of dating a foreigner & is looking for another NBAer to ruin. But this time the NBAer gots to be 'Murican.
