2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

i never said he didnt deserve either......

i just think he kinda compares to nash in some ways-- kind of a small ish PG - not very physical, on a team with a ton of wins, great shooter etc.....

ID have to look at it more closely to see- but it seems you guys have the right of it that he stole one from Bron and one he prob. was deserving

You don't have to look at it more closely LOL

You just saw the data. He deserved that second one, the unanimous one

This guy is seriously more worried about winning a regular season award instead of getting an NBA title

Denver has expressed interest in trading for Kevin Love...











Why?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Almost over-dosed on college football the last 3-4 days......ready for some NBA.....

I love it, he loves to troll all the other posters here, since we're mostly Lakers, Heat, and Warriors fans. He also goes after the Wiz of course due to his slapfight with tlance.

It's fun having him around

The funny thing is that nobody is harder on the Wizards than I am.

When your franchise is never able to contend over an almost 40 year span it is pretty obvious they aren't well run. The only franchises that are even debateable for worst run over time are the Clippers and TWolves.

Stupidity?

No, seriously because they are under the delusion that they are a legit contender. Jokic is awesome. They have some other nice pieces too. But they play no defense. That ain't taking them far in the playoffs. And Love doesn't solve any of their problems.

Denver play no defense?

They're top 10 in DEF EFF, 3rd in points allowed, and 11th in opp fg %.

Yeah it's a weird troll tactic but Wiggy's gonna Wiggy

Waiters first shot is a made 3.....Welcome back

It's not the same Denver team. Just like Houston last year, no one believed they were actually good or actually played good D because of their history and D'antoni's and Harden's but they were pretty good on D (not as much now).

Things change, you can't just pigeonhole teams to be exactly like years past. Which is why it's silly to just assume the Warriors are going to be the same dominant team this year. They might be, and Cousins is the wild card, but the way they are playing now other teams have a legit shot.

Would have no idea Waiters just missed a year of basketball with his first run of action tonight.

Wish the Heat could play the Cavs every night

I'm just glad that Spoelstra figured out that it was to trim the rotation.

Wondering who gets left out with Waiters back once he gets up to speed. Got to be McGruder or Jones probably. We have way too many players who play at the same position. Ellington is a rotation player but there is no room for him on this roster considering he is a one dimensional player

 

[bksballer89]

There is no way in hell Anthony Davis is signing whatever contract New Orleans will offer him in the summer. This is a bad team going absolutely nowhere. Not signing back Cousins probably killed any chance of him signing that contract IMO. At least if you signed back Cousins, you could sell him on having another top 15 player on the roster. Dude is now surrounded by a bunch of role players. If he really cares about winning then he doesn't sign that contract.

I expect him to be on another team at the start of next season

 

[bksballer89]

34/25 for AD in a game they're about to lose and really never had a chance to win

Screw that.
Tristan had a whopping 2 rebounds tonight.

 

[trojanfight]

LeBron's insistence that he's the GOAT makes for a problematic discussion

 

[bksballer89]

Memphis is not a good team.

I can't take them, Minnesota, or New Orleans seriously for a possible playoffs spot. Dallas and Utah are the only teams I would be worried about if I'm currently in the top 8 in the West.
