2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

Ball out 4-6 weeks

Not a fracture though.....

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.

cmon...theiss, baynes, ojeleye?

you dont want any of those guys playing real minutes. Ojeleye maybe someday.

Baynes and Theiss are D level NBA players.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Heat has 12-13 by my count

• Goran Dragic
• Josh Richardson
• Justice Winslow
• Dion Waiters
• James Johnson
• Hassan Whiteside
• Kelly Olynk
• Tyler Johnson
• D-Wade
• James Johnson
• Bam
• Wayne Ellington
• Derrick Jones Jr

heat honestly might have the most- but just have zero elite guys.

and i dont count derrick jones jr.

You sound ignorant as hell.

No offense... but this isn't even worth a serious response.

 

[WiggyRuss]

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.

yah Miami seriously has a deep roster

Yeah I hear you. Jones Jr is the only questionable but he has been solid for Miami but yeah I don't think he would be in the rotation for a lot of teams so we can settle on 12.

as far as big men guy theiss andbaynes are at the very very bottom of big men that get that much playing time.

you gotta go cheap somewhere--- celtics have most of their payroll/draft capital/free agent targkets.. etc. in wings and guards- whjichi s smart (besides horford)

going cheap on big men that are likely to play very limited minutes in the playoffs is smart-- spend your resources on wings and guards which teh Celtics have done.

but no one actually WANTS to play those guys thinking this is a net positive at any time.

Of course not every player in the league is a star. And of course no NBA lineup boasts "great" players throughout.

Baynes is good role player, though... and Theis is a decent one. Their value is primarily in their defense. Both can hit a 3, too... so they have a role in a modern NBA offense also.

They definitely deserve NBA minutes. Boston missed Baynes something fierce while he was recently injured.

The Pats win again......

Who the fuck hacked Wiggy's account today?

 

[shopson67]

Not really. It is something called playing defense. 7 point lead with 72 seconds left basically requires you to get about one defensive stop and the game is basically over. Had nothing to do about not having a PG

It does when your PG is a very good defender. The difference defensively between Ball and Lance is sizable. Lance hit some key 3s, but it's tempting fate to leave him out there that long.

 

[shopson67]

They're getting Faried lol

...who will just steal minutes from Tucker, lol.

 

[shopson67]

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.

...and how long until CP3 gets hurt again? The Rockets are really going to enjoy that contract extension, lol. Nothing like paying $40M to someone who's frequently injured.

Doubt it. Faried is trash now. Think he is coming there to fill in for Capela until he is healthy

 

[shopson67]

Maybe, but at 6'8, 220 how much is he going to help down low? Or is he just 6 more fouls?

I really think they just want a smaller athletic guy at C...similar to Capela

Nene isn't that so I really think Faried will only be used for the next month
