2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

Is the reading rainbow more serious than the spelling/grammar rainbow?

You take Giannis off the Bucks and LeBron off the Lakers and they're both likely lottery teams....


You take PG off the Thunder and they're probably still a .500 team in the WC with RW and the other players they have on the team.

I’m not sure about that but I get your point. PGs defense has been off the charts and he is putting the team on his back on the offensive end. He won’t win it, but right now he has to be in the conversation in my opinion.

LeBron, Giannis, AD, Embiid, Harden, Curry, Russ, Leonard, Kyrie

Not saying all those guys are ahead right now, but that is how he doesn't get top 5.

AD is on a sub .500 team.....and Harden is on a team hovering around .500. Typically, the MVP is on a really good team that wins at least 52-55 games. I doubt either of those guys teams accomplish that.

Pelicans made a huge mistake not bringing Cousins back

Which was the only point I was ever trying to make.

Also that logic is stupid because in that case, why do you ever give someone the MVP with another star/superstar on his team?

Pelicans/Kings coming down to the wire

The team needs to stop falling behind big early, can't rely on 4th quarter comebacks every time.

Heat back at .500 and in 6th place in the East.

They were 7-13 entering the last day of November

So the Heat are hot?

trading a top 10 pick in his rookie year for about a year of cousins lol

Is water wet?

Is the Pope Catholic?

Is Richard Simmons gay?

To be fair they expected him to stay healthy and be paired with AD long term, which could have worked out if they got a reliable SF to go with them and Jrue. People thought that was a horrible trade for the Kings when it happened, and if they had kept Boogie instead then signed him to a super max contract they probably lose their pick(Fox) to the Bulls. I'm much happier with how it went then going that route.

The stretches of defense this Thunder team is showing they are capable of is exactly what wins titles in this league. Man this is a fun team to watch.

Didn't look promising heading out into the West Coast trip, but it seems like they understood that they better get their shit together fast or Wades final season was going to be not as hoped or planned.

People can say what they want @WiggyRuss , and yes, the Heat aren't going anywhere, but nobody with a brain can deny that they seem so get the best out of every player they have on their roster.
Plus, does any team find more diamond in the roughs?
You watch a talent like Derrick Jones Jr. and wonder how X amount of teams could let him fall through the cracks.
