2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

LOL. Westbrook completely missed that three.

Russ getting lots of Jason Kidd type triple doubles this season

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Paul George pretty much sent Ingram to school down the stretch.

 

[wildturkey]

That game was a lot closer than it should have been considering quite a few Lakers weren't playing "Good" per-say. And that's on top of injuries.

Gordon Heyward with a season high 35

Happy to see him back

 

[bksballer89]

If the playoffs started tomorrow, the Lakers would be 8th

 

[Bolts]

Why are Lakers fans salty about PG not signing? You got Lebron freaking James instead lol

I guess if you have shown any interest in being a Laker and chose to sign elsewhere(with a team that took a chance trading young players for you), then you deserve to be booed.

If Dallas can ever figure out how to play better on the road, they can be a serious threat for the 7th or 8th seed. 15-3 at home and now 3-16 on the road after their win in charlotte tonight.

They have 22 road games left. Try and go 11-11 or something close to that and they will be in the playoffs.

Lmao

Tonight's Thunder/Lakers game had one of the worst displays of free throw shooting that I've seen by both teams in a very long time. It was putrid.

If I'm coach Donovan or coach Walton, I'd have the entire team practicing their free throws all day tomorrow.

Those are some crazy splits, I'd expect them to get better on the road while also not being as dominant at home.

23 home games left so lets say they go 16-7 in those games and for argument sake, lets say they go 10-12 in the final 22 road games. That would leave them at 44-38 which can get them in

They definitely CAN make it, especially if they win close to 30 games at home. Gonna be a battle over the next 40+ games between a number of teams trying to do just enough to get in.

Lonzo Ball: 35 minutes played , 3 points, 1/5 from the free throw line, 1/4 from the field.

brutal.

 

[Wishbone]

Pretty funny listening to the Laker fans boo Paul George. Guy is playing out of his mind though and has a real shot at MVP.

they got a pretty easy stretch of games coming up but late January and early February is positively BRUTAL.

This is about that time of the year that LeBron starts whining for help as well.

Should be interesting.

They have to be absolutely kicking themselves that they could have had George for either Ingram or the pick that became Ball. He would be perfect next to LeBron, is in his prime, and is playing like a top 10, maybe top 5 player in the entire league right now--- honestly he should be at least in the conversation for MVP at this point.

Cherry picking stats much? LOL.

7 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal and just 2 TO's. His defense was a huge reason RW struggled shooting the ball.....

Let me know the first time Sexton gets a trip-doub......Ball has had many in his career.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Opinion: Thunder's Paul George was right to snub Los Angeles, and Lakers fans just proved it

Credit George with figuring out ahead of time and before James even announced his latest “decision” what is playing out now across the upper players echelons of the NBA. Kevin Durant said it, but the actions and indications of others are proving it: the oppressive glare of being in James’ sphere and surrounded by his fawning media celebrants isn’t your average superstar’s idea of fun.

OKC are a healthy third in the Western Conference, well ahead of the falling Lakers, and George has no cause for regret at the actions of the summer. He knew already that he’s in the right spot. The fickle Lakers fans merely reinforced the point.

DJ- a point guard that cant shoot is never going to be an asset in the NBA.

How in the sam fuck is he shooting below 50% from the free throw line? that is atrocious. 45% from the free throw line. I do not even understand how that is possible for a guard in the modern NBA.
