2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

So he's close? I didn't know that. They need him back asap because if Harden keeps up this pace for much longer, I'm expecting a lot of games like Game 7 against the Warriors come playoff time.

I have him on a fantasy team so I get updates on him and that's what it said last Sunday when I was setting my lineups lol

Seems like it is pretty accurate though.

Chris Paul injury update: Rockets star expected back from hamstring strain 'sometime next week'

The Thunder have won 18 games in a row vs Philly. That's crazy.

Embied and Westbrook have some pretty bad blood going.

I'm not quite sure. I'm sort of on the boat with everyone that says Harden is gonna burn himself out. He's done that before with a smaller workload. This is the most he's ever had to do.

I don’t think it’s burnout, I think it’s being ready for the season to be over. Sounds bad but there seems to be a pretty good track record.

So I'll just add them to the list of teams the Sixers cant beat. Bos, Toronto, okc, warriors.......

Lakers make Hart, Zubac and Wagner available in trade talks

Lakers make Hart, Zubac and Wagner available in trade talks


“Josh Hart, Ivica Zubac and Moritz Wagner are available, rival executives say, while pretty much everyone else is off the table,” Berger reported. “To get Beal, it’s going to take a lot more than that.”

Big day of pro football....

Yeah, they are clearly willing to trade them because they think they can get Beal in return for that trio.

As always......it'll be fun watching teams make trades at the deadline.

Celts 9 prob.

I'll do the count on the Celtics. Real NBA minutes guys:

• Kyrie Irving
• Terry Rozier
• Marcus Smart
• Jaylen Brown
• Gordon Hayward
• Jayson Tatum
• Marcus Morris
• Semi Ojeleye
• Al Horford
• Daniel Theis
• Aaron Baynes

And in the "Maybe" column:

• Robert Williams (rookie) - kid looks like he has potential and is a player, but has only seen limited minutes on a loaded roster

That's 11 to 12 by my count.

Ball out 4-6 weeks

Yep. If Miami had a real star player they'd be a contender for Eastern Conference Champ.... a lot of versatility in that lineup.

That aside: I think depth to around 10 players who are legit NBA playable is a little more widespread than @WiggyRuss was leading on there.

Actually forgot to add McGruder to the list

The only guy you can argue wouldn't be a rotation player on other teams is Jones Jr.

But now that I'm seeing what Miami is going through when all the guys are healthy, being this deep isn't a good thing. I prefer to only have 9-10 rotation players with the 11th and 12th guys being ok to fill in but not good enough to be a consistent rotation player.

SA needs to get their shit together.....

Let's see how long this lasts.
