2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Black Adam]

Hope Donovan's ribs are okay going forward.

didn't even look like he got hit that hard...

The fact you didnt get the fact that both dont have jumpshot, says more about your IQ. They are the same type of player and yes Giannis has more experience. Simmons hasnt improved AT ALL in his 3rd year. I guess it’s over your head kid. Also, Giannis really never had a great opportunity until year 3, even year 4. Teams are already catching on that Simmons can only drive, he doesnt even have a mid-range lolzzz

well, it's a good thing this is Simmons' 2nd

 

[Black Adam]

ah well, fuggit...

I'll take the win...

 

[Black Adam]

I blame our troubles in this one on Mecca"s triple whammy...

 

[BPNAZ]

I also love how Simmons constantly gets flack (only after losses) yet the message board darlings from last year in Donovan Mitchell and Jayson Tatum keep getting free passes. you know, 2 players that have actually gotten worse shooting (42% each)

Another W

7 outta the last 8...

Was never sold on Utah having similar success that they had in the 2nd half of last year.

The last couple weren't pretty, but you gotta win the ugly ones too

they did have to get ultra hot to finish where they did last season...

Was expected IMO. Lakers are in a stretch where they play lots of mediocre teams and they're doing what they should do to those teams. This stretch continues for another week before schedule gets a little tougher

Was never sold on them winning 50 games. Believe I had them 6th in my preseason predictions

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Hold up....

The sixers lost at home to the cavs?!?!?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Dubs laid it on the Blazers in Oakland.

125 - 97.

To say it was a much needed win for GS would be a drastic understatement.

They also play Sac at home tomorrow night.
Hopefully they can keep it going in the 2nd game of a b2b......and beyond.

Rose on his way to grab 6th MOY. So many doubted this man over the years.. he's continuing to throw it back in the hatas faces.

That Chicago front office continues to look like geniuses breaking that team up and kicking Thibs to the curb

Is it weird to anyone else that the only player in the NBA this guy likes is Derrick Rose? I mean, I got nothing against Derrick, good for him, good storyline, but I mean, everyone else sucks right? Only Rose is a stud? LOL

 

[msgkings322]

Cavs win in Philly
Suns win in Milwaukee

Knicks win another...

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Knicks win another...

I'm guessing those were due to tryptophan hangovers for the Sixers, Bucks & Pelicans?



Break up the Knicks.
With tonight's win, it's the 1st time this season they've won 2 in a row.

 

[Gman]

Oh, okay....

My bad.

You did say the totality of his posts.

That was me having tunnel vision.

I apologize.

Jeez... no need for the formality.

We're just talking... and he did say what you quoted him as saying. No worries at all.

Computer forum communication is good in certain ways... but one of the drawbacks is that two people can have slightly different ideas on what they're talking about together or what the focus is and it can throw a wrench in the works.

He had his best season the year before he signed his deal.

I'm hoping he's in the Olidipo category.

Maybe he's capable of producing more in a healthier environment.

But, .....yikes sounds about right.

Beal and Oubre are their most valuable assets.

I wouldn't want Wall or Porter at those salaries.

Porter is not ever going to be an Oladipo type player who can take over a game. But I do think the comparison is valid because he is being supressed by the system.

Porter is and has always been a highly efficient offensive player. But he is averaging 2 fewer shot attempts per game and he has struggled a bit from 3 to start the season. Brooks is content to have him stand in the corner while Beal and Wall do everything. And Wall and Beal don't like Porter, so they don't look for him as much as they should.

Porter is a better player than his stat line suggests, but he isn't the type that is going to create a lot of offense for himself. He is a guy who gets his within the flow, and Washington doesn't have any flow.

Now, I like Kelly Oubre overall, but the fact that Oubre, a career 41.2% shooter (31.6% from 3) is averaging more attempts than Porter is borderline criminal.
