2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[trojanfan12]

When the Warriors are fully healthy, I really don't have any idea who will be out there at the end of games. Do you go bigger and have more firepower and rebounding with Cousins. Or do you go smaller, more versatile and better defensively with Andre?

Gee, which all star laden lineup should we go with? The big one or the small one? lol

Something tells me that Kerr will figure it out and that @Montalban will complain about it either way.

 

[LAD]

Yeah, I can agree with this.

What Durant does will be the deciding factor.

Agreed a lot is determined by what KD wants - but I just don't agree that he only wants to play the best basketball of his career for 1 more season. Sorry.

Mirotic and Randle along with Davis give them a helluva front court- maybe the best in the NBA.

.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Oh, I agree that Davis is wishful thinking.

As for Kawhi, would they get a banner?

That would depend on the price they paid.

If it was Brown and Rozier, yeah probably.

More than that?

I think the Celtics are a legit threat to the Warriors in large part because of their depth.

You start selling off pieces for a possible rental and you jeopardize your future.

But I think that package is probably better than Demar alone anyway. Easier on San Antonio's checkbook, too. Plus it may have convinced the Spurs to shop DA and go for a full rebuild around the pieces from the Celtics and Murray.

I dunno. I've loved everything I've seen from Kawhi so far and while the Raptors are deep and have some power themselves in the form of Kyle and Ibaka, I could just imagine what he could do on the Celtics. I'm happy he's here, even if just for a year.

the Pelicans look really good anyway.

Mirotic and Randle along with Davis give them a helluva front court- maybe the best in the NBA.

Holliday is a great PG.

They are a good 3 and D wing or two away from being a real pain in the ass.

If I had to pick between the Pelicans and Lakers in a series right now I think id take the Pels.

Yeah they do but every team is a good 3 and D wing or two from being a PITA, really.

Because you still play video games?

Correct. Just like @ChiefsLakers67

id take him.

If Kyrie would have whined ot the media earlier the Clips DEF take Kyrie over the package Houston offered and LeBron and CP are prob still in CLE.

Unless was LeBron was just dead-set on making movies- which maybe he was since he had the opp to play with George and KI in CLE if he committed. I guess w will never know.

Ill laugh my balls off if the Celtics and Lakers both underachieve and Kyrie and LeBron being at odds costs both of them hardware in the long run.

 

[LAD]

James misses both FT's......holy shit.

I mean is only a 70% FT shooter

 

[WiggyRuss]

LeBron does have a tendency to miss some free throws.

Lakers fans got their first glimpse at the "Stanky Leg Offense" too.

LeBron dribble dribble dribble and taking a step back three - instead of attacking the rim. Makes no sense but he loves to do it.

Down 1, why he did not attack the rim is beyond me. He loves the hero shot though.

 

[msgkings322]

Even more plausible is they all take a discount to stay together.

No, that's not really very plausible

 

[msgkings322]

Something tells me that Kerr will figure it out and that @Montalban will complain about it either way.

Man I wish he was smart enough to criticize the lineups. He just says the same thing every time, that they are lazy and Klay is terrible and they don't play defense or rebound. Stuff that was the case with them 10 years ago.

 

[msgkings322]

Agreed a lot is determined by what KD wants - but I just don't agree that he only wants to play the best basketball of his career for 1 more season. Sorry.

Why are you apologizing? And how are you so sure he won't play well somewhere else? He probably will put up even more numbers on a team where he is the absolute top dog

 

[LAD]

No, that's not really very plausible

Well, considering they all already HAVE yes, yes it actually is for most.

Nope. Sorry.

Because there is no other combination of the Dubs offense & Steph Curry on any other team. For the record KD could play well just about anywhere - but would he be as efficient and also happy as he currently is? Sure things could change down the line as nothing stays the same forever. But to say he is leaving after only 1 more year is quite premature given their current winning status and the team's comradery. So many negative Nancy's around. As a GS fan you should just relax, stay in the present & enjoy the team.

 

[LAD]

Nope. Sorry.

Not surprising you disagree.

Current MVP Rankings:

1) Steph Curry
2) Everyone else

Fight me.
