2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

Watching him night in and night out thus far Paul George should be in the MVP discussion. He won’t be but he is playing some amazing ball at the moment.

He's likely in it. Just not top 3.

My guess is he is currently 4-6

Will your dumbfuckery ever end?

This question was rhetorical, right?

 

[trojanfan12]

The guys nuts you've had in your mouth for years (LeBron) is a Yankess fan. Funny how you never had an issue w/ that though. You nonstop loudmouth hypocrite.

And the only joke around here is you.

His Baker obsession seems to be hitting unhealthy levels even faster than his Lebron obsession did.

 

[trojanfan12]

you cant be a Cleveland fan if you are a Celtics fan.....wtf are you even talking about?

I would never try andclaim i was a Cleveland fan if i rooted for the Browns, Cavs and Yankees- thats a joke.

I'm a Lakers, Dodgers, Kings and USC fan. But according to your twisted teenage girl level logic, I can't call myself an LA fan because I've remained a Seahawks fan, even though the Rams and Chargers moved to LA.

Questioning someones fandom is some of the lamest shit ever. People are fans of teams for all kinds of reasons.

Who are you to question it?

I guess my point is that tanking isn't such an obvious way to win titles.

Not yet. But tanking is a fairly new thing. So, I'd say the jury is still out.

Tanking got OKC some pretty good success and a spot in the finals. They may have gotten one too if they didn't let Harden go.

Cleveland tanked to get Lebron and while it didn't get them a title during his first stint, it was the best run of success they'd experienced. Then they tanked again, got Kyrie which enticed Lebron to return and they got their title.

The jury is still out on the tanking by the Sixers and Lakers. But it's at least gotten both teams headed in the right direction.

Spurs lose to the Bulls but lead Philly by 28.

Makes all the sense in the world.

Joerger really punted this game early, I guess he thought it was better to rest starters at the end of their 3rd game in 4 days stretch. I understand that with all the back to backs and 3 games in 4 nights(7th B2B and 6th 3 in 4 stretch) and how fast the team runs especially their main player Fox, they can get tired even at a young age. It sucks to give away a game but there are over 50 more to go.

Yeah I was watching. Westbrook pushed Dunn but it was part of the play. Dunn then blatantly pushed Westbrook, Grant took exception to it and Lopez came in with the crazy eyes and it escalated. No punches thrown and Lopez got ejected a little later for throwing the ball at Grant.

Were the Lakers really tanking on purpose all those years?

 

[thunderc]

On another note, Jeremy Grant has quietly escalated his game this year. He has a buyout after next season and there aren’t many teams in the league he can’t start for right now. Really a fun player to watch.

Well, they allowed Short Buss to run the team didn't they?

I'm from the UK but have been a die hard Lakers fan for 38 years.

By wiggys logic I should be rooting for the London Sissynannies

I.....guess that counts.... LOL

 

[bksballer89]

Believed this took place with Utah down 3 late in the 4th....

his "all teams from One town is true fanship" logic astounds me...

So glad I went out and didn't watch this debacle.
