2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

Interesting point about Ingram being out. Wonder if that is what brought all of this Ariza trade talk about.

He rolled his ankle when Aldridge undercut him on a jumper last Wednesday night. He's out for the road trip and will be re-evaluated this week.

Yea I know.
LA does that often. He tried to do the same thing to GS guards after Leonard went down when Pachulia fouled him.

Does anyone really want to pay John Wall $40M per?

Ernie Grunfeld does.

No, of course not.

But it is a chance for them to get an allstar caliber PG. it would be a bit like the Pelicans dealing for Cousins last year. MAYbe it works, maybe it doesn't.

If Sarver is serious about building a winner in short order, that would be his best opportunity.

I mean my gawd. If we the fans could see this coming it makes you wonder what drug the FO was on when they let him walk instead of paying him. Yet, they caved to Capela. Mind boggling.

But, in regard to getting him back, they may be a dollar short & a day late.

I love the move, but I am wondering what Trevor's attitude will be towards the team that dissed him for Ron Artest and if their is any hard feelings about that. Granted that it's not the same management, but will he be motivated to play hard and give it everything he has. I tend to believe he will or would be fine, but I do think the questions need to be asked first

Could Jammin' Jimmer Fredette help your Cavs?

Dude is straight balling in China......on his way to being a legend there like Marbury.

Starbury eats Vasoline (no joke, look up the YouTube video).

Apparently after tonight the Kings have a 13 game stretch against West teams not named the Suns with 3 B2B's and 0 games against a team playing the 2nd night of a B2B, that's not great.

 

[DJ Fieri]

That would be funny considering TT has been hands down WAY better than Lonzo this year and they have a PG that is already much better than Lonzo almost 30 games into his rookie season LOL

Let's compare the per-36 minute stats shall we?

Sexton 18.9ppg, 3.7rpg, 3.2apg, 0.6spg

Ball 10.6ppg, 6.6rpg, 6.2apg, and 1.7spg

I realize we're creatures of the moment and scoring is nice and all but that's the only thing Sexton is better at. Ball is a better rebounder, passer, and defender.

Already much better? He might be better, but much better is a stretch considering he's better at one aspect of basketball.

PS: He's really a combo guard, at best.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Makes sense. I'm sure the Rockets have figured out by now that letting Ariza go was a mistake, so I'd imagine they'd like to have him back if they can get him.

Do you remember that fatass ninja lawyer Thumper? He was very unique.

Talking about basketball, not that he's not crazy or mentally unstable. He is.

The Raiders fired Reggie McKenzie.....


He actually did a decent job of stocking the roster with enough talent to make the playoffs a few seasons ago and now he's gone.

Well, we are about to find out if they are for real.

Sexton is a combo guard for sure.

But are you really using steals as your defensive metric?

And he watched as they turned into a complete joke since then.

I just wish my Washington teams would fire their GMs who have been on the job longer and accomplished much less.

Only because a lot of people include that in their defensive metric opinions.....
