2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

No Luka (hip)... bench stepped up (again).

Huge play by DSJ at the end.

Mavs look good right now after a bad start, right in the playoff mix. Better chance to make it than the Kings.

They’re learning how to play team defense. And they have the right coach to make that happen. The bench is deep and will get deeper when Dirk returns in a couple of weeks.

Fun basketball is fun. This is fun.

Paging @WiggyRuss


Lakers=6 seed.

Make that 5th seed now

And we're only getting better, folks.....








I'll be here all season. And beyond.

Getting better or taking advantage of a favorable part of their schedule?

They did to lose to Orlando at home and got destroyed by denver in the last 7 days.

A home win over Indy without their best player and the Suns are games they should win

Don't say that, the Lakers can't be stopped!

I agree, these are games the Lakers should win. Especially with lebron on the team.

But they didn't win them last year. Or the year before that. Or the year before that...

So excuse us for feeling a tad excited to finally be winning again.

This how you make the playoffs. Win most of tbe games you should win and don't be god awful in games against the good teams

 

[Bolts]

The Kings are 7-2 in games against sub .500 teams, but have mostly sucked against the above average teams. They are 2-0 against OKC tho, which is cool.

I don't think we may see the Heat vice jerseys again lol

Heat were 0-6 in those jerseys. Won their last 2 at home wearing the red jerseys

Too bad I love those.

From what I read, they had it in the locker room ready to wear tonight but I guess the players decided to go with the red again so my guess is they're wearing red at home until they lose in them.

It's the smart play

 

[ManuForever]

36 points for DeMar. 26 came in the second balf, including 18 in the third. Aldridge with a strong game as well. Both are gonna have to be superb every game to get wins this season.

In before @WiggyRuss posts about Baker's 3 INT day. Oh wait, he never posts about bad games.

yah...Baker was awful in the first half of that game. He bounced back and had a nice 2nd half but the Texans D obviously called off the dogs to a certain extent.

The Browns are making a ton of steps in the right direction- but they just arent ready to face the best of the best yet. The Chargers, Chiefs, Texans and Steelers beat them up. They tied the Steelers in hte first game they played them, and almost beat the Saints.

Against the bad/mediocre teams - the Browns can beat and play with---- but at this point, with Baker as a rookie, some holes still on the roster, a ton of their roster being so young, its going to take another year.

Next year I think they win between 6 and 9 games, probably 7 or 8 would be my guess. The year after that, in Baker's third year, Rothlisberger will be gone, Flacco will be gone, and the Browns will win the AFC North. (yes you heard it here first!).

I mean cmon- if you had to pick one QB from this loaded QB class that had 5 go in the first round it is without a doubt Baker. The Texans just won 9 in a row, and Romeo Crennell really fooled Baker a few times with the coverages. It happens- he is a rookie.

But if the draft was re-done today i have no doubt Baker would still go #1 overall and that he is a franchise QB in the making.


honestly- my favorite part of the game was when Baker threw a 70 yard TD to Calloway, it was called back for holding, and 2 plays later Baker through another 70 yard pass to Calloway but the moron got stripped from behind in the 1 yard line. He went right back to his guy, made 2 great throws. Baker got tricked and played like shit in the first half- but he put it behind him and moved on and did some really nice things to the hottest team in the NFL.
