2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

please- now you are being the dumbfuck.

I siad his legacy would take a hit if he didnt make the playoffs or got his ass kicked in round one.

Now you are just making stuff up because you are shook.

I'm shook? Are you drinking directly outta Lake Erie again? And yes you did say it was Finals or bust for LeBron this year. Then after everyone was making fun of you you changed your tune.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I don't know if it's funny or pathetic (a little of both I guess) that you never had an issue w/ me being a Celtics fan until this year.

Since you have no clue what I'm saying I'll spell it out for you. When the Cavs were better than the Celtics your world was great. But now that thing are reversed you're pissing yourself w/ anger.

I still dont have an issue with you being a Celtics fan--- that is absolutely your right to root for whoever you wnat.

just dont call yourself a Cleveland fan if you root for the Celtics over the Cavs because that would be absolutely ridiculous. This isnt rocket science- its not anything difficult.

If you root against the Cavs in favor of one of their biggest rivals -you arent a Cleveland fan. Period.

you are DEFNITELY shook at this point.

This is what- i said to clear the record

-if LeBron loses in the first round or fails to make the playoffs his legacy will take a hit.

LeBron would actually ENHANCE his legacy in my mind if he took this Lakers team to the WCF and pushed the Warriors.

But if you have LeBron James IN HIS PRIME- its title or bust. Any time you have LeBron James- maybe the best player to ever live still at the top of his game- which he is- and you dont win a title- you are going back to the drawing board.

You can calculate the schedule how YOU want to or we can use metrics. It's at about 5 or 6 as one of the toughest schedules. Key opponents they have played: Saints, Panthers, Steelers (2x), Ravens (2x), Chiefs, Chargers, Texans and Broncos.

So in the AFC they have played currently: #1 seed, #2 seed, #4 seed (2x), #5 seed, #6 seed (twice). Also, the #1 seed in the NFC. Just looking at the schedule you know it is one of the toughest schedules. Not sure what you are seeing.

As of right now, they have a tougher schedule than anyone in the NFC lol. And they are 5th in the AFC.

Your logic isn't adding up.

No logic involved. It is in all actuality a last place schedule. Their luck of the draw with opposing divisions in their schedule is bad luck. Then again, when nearly everyone is approximately mediocre, the strength of schedule is tough to really evaluate.

 

[shopson67]

The fuck? What the hell was all that shit about last week then about how they wouldn't do any trades unless they got a PG back?

Austin Rivers isn't really a PG anyway.

 

[shopson67]

No doubt about that. I wonder if he's built himself a life size Mayfield cutout yet?

Cutout? No. Inflatable?

the fact that its a "last place schedule" only effects 2 games

those 2 games were the Texans and jets.

The Texans were so bad last year because of the injuries to their best defensive player and their Qb--- and now they are in position to have a bye.

The Browns schedule- by any measure, was one of the toughest in the league this year.

 

[WiggyRuss]

this was pretty funny:

Tanking for Zion Williamson? Secrets from Cavaliers' 2003...

Jumaine Jones (remember him?!?!) dribbled at the top of the key, seconds peeling off the shot clock during some meaningless game in the hinterlands that was the Cavaliers’ 2002-03 season. The possession, like the team, was headed nowhere fast.

“Jumaine, Jumaine, call a play Jumaine,” barked coach John Lucas, his raspy voice holding up just fine among the sparse crowd at Gund Arena.

Jones, who was not a point guard, half looked at his coach and then to his teammates randomly spread across the half court.

“Thirty-four!” Jones called.

“Goddamnit, Jumaine, we don’t have a play called 34,” Lucas groaned.

Yep, I remember that.

With a response like that you better be careful or wiggy will drop the rainbow rating hammer on you. And you don't want that.

very very simple.

everything else is window dressing

when the Celtics and Cavs play, do you root for the Cavs?

if the answer is no- you are not a Cleveland Sports Fan.

I'll ask you this again. Not that you'll answer me, you're spineless. Why didn't you have an issue w/ me being a Celtics fan the previous 4 years when LeBron was in Cleveland?

Odd you refuse to answer that simple question. You're so heartbroken/pissed off/upset that your man-crush is now a Laker you're looking for any reason to be upset towards anyone.

If you saying over & over & over that I'm not a real Cleveland sports fan because I don't hug on Dan Gilbert's nuts like you helps you recover from your devastating loss do what ya gotta do to recover. We all know you're a hot air machine. And so full of shit your eyes are probably brown.

Well you can evaluate in two ways: what it should be and what it is. I am evaluating on what it is...a top 5 schedule. It could be worse and probably should be but it isn't. Definitely bad luck but like I said having one of the toughest schedules, a top 3 youngest team and the fact they have won 3 games the last two years = a damn good year in my book speaking improvement wise.

Not being a fan of your local sports teams is bad parenting.......

If you weren't born and raised near a particular city, I suppose you can go your own way, but what's it like rooting for a team in which nobody else in your hometown can identify with? Part of being born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia is that my dad and I will always have a connection through sports. That passion is matched throughout our area and we all ride the same rollercoaster, whether it be a Tony Wroten process game or the Eagles winning the Super Bowl.

Just doesn't make sense to be born and raised in the Philly area and root for another team. There will be exceptions, but for the most part, I call shenanigans on those that jump on the bandwagon of the 'popular' teams at the time.

But, that's just like, my opinion, man......
