2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[trojanfan12]

Just curious, do you like Adam Lambert?

Haven't seen any performances with him. I'm probably just being closed minded and I'm sure he's really good. But it's just not Queen without Freddie Mercury.

fun game last night in Miami @raptorlife4

 

[trojanfan12]

I posted on FB that Bohemian Rhapsody was a really enjoyable film for anyone who is not a serious fan of Queen or Freddie. The critics unfairly ravaged it for not being a film it never intended to be.

Yeah, it was basically an overview of their career. It was never intended to be a documentary and tell the full story. That would take at least a 3 part series with each episode being at least 2 hours long.

Is it time to admit the 76ers, with their three All-Stars, just don't work?

"LeBron's comments and subsequent leaks -- supported hours later by comments from Davis to Yahoo's Chris Haynes -- that money will not drive Davis' decision could have freaked the Pelicans into accelerating their timetable on potentially trading him. (Those comments weren't shocking. I have been predicting for months -- including most recently in a Dec. 15 television special with Adrian Wojnarowski -- that Davis would turn down the supermax if New Orleans offers it. I would still predict that today. Davis' representatives surely know how close they can get to supermax money by cycling through short-term deals until Davis locks in the largest long-term contract -- a strategy interested teams expect Davis to follow, sources say.)"

 

[trojanfan12]

I do.

Closest thing to Freddie that we will ever see.

Plus, I watched American Idol.....lol

Well crap, now I'm probably going to have check it out.

 

[DJ Fieri]

nope

Cedi Osman

His jumper is broken?

I really hate this sort of navel gazing.

Kyrie Irving played really well and made a huge shot to tie the game with about 10 seconds left in regulation. The Sixers had the ball with plenty of time and settled for a JJ Reddick mid range shot that he missed. Either of those shots go the other way, and the Sixers win and the entire discussion flips on its head.

I am a bit frustrated by Brett Brown at the moment because I don't think he is maximizing the talent on the floor but I also realize we are not even half way through the season.

lol

They're 22-13 and only 3.5 games out of first place in the East. They have a couple of weaknesses they need to address, but I'd hardly say that "it's not working" especially with a team this young.

 

[DJ Fieri]

We could be looking at Milwaukee-Toronto in the ECF after most assumed it would be Boston-Philly.....

All i know is any combination of those 4 in the semis is going to be great to watch.

Yes I can see that, Freddie was special.

I heard on ESPN that the Pelicans are now on the clock to trade Anthony Davis ASAP to get anything they can in return. That is hilarious...

The Pelicans if they were smart have 0 incentive to be in a rush to trade Anthony Davis, as much as the media want's to hype it. The Pelicans should know that the lakers want AD bad. The lakers are the ones who have all the incentive to make a trade, not vice versa. The lakers will offer all their young players today, tomorrow, next week and next year. With Lebron turning 34, they don't have time to wait 2 years for AD to walk.

In the meantime NO can sit back and listen to other teams offers which will be better, and know that the lakers will be waiting all the way up till the trade deadline next year with bated breath...

Hi Mecca Happy New Year! My wife loves Adam. She watched him sing Cher's Believe last night on the Kennedy Center Honors.

I don't think most assumed that. I sure didn't.

Not much separating the top 4 teams. Would not be surprised to see any combination of those 4 (Toronto, Milwaukee, Boston, Philly) in the East Finals.

Yeah I think most people more assumed a Boston-Toronto ECF.

I don't think many people thought Philly would make the ECF after losing those shooters while Toronto added Leonard.

ill save everyone time

Davis is not going to be traded until AT THE EARLIEST the offseason.

Any talk that he will be dealt before the trade deadline is nonsense.

@tlance can you give us your analysis?

"Anthony Davis might get traded or he might not--- the time frame for a trade is sometime between now, and when he retires"

HARD HITTING ANALYSIS!!! LOL

 

[Wamu]

Lol. True.

I used to party a good bit, so I've had a hangover or 2.

These days, I'd much rather smoke a bowl than drink.

A buddy of mine left a 6 pack of beer here about 2 or 3 months ago. It's still in my fridge except for 1 that I cooked bratwurst in. lol

I agree. Speaking of toking up I like edibles better than flower. I'll get a gram of wax or shatter from my dispensary on occasion, about once a month. And the beer brats. That's the only reason I'll go & buy some beer anymore. Usually a 24 ouncer.

I'm surprise teams aren't lining up to sign JR Smith.
