2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[DJ]

Lakers held off the Warriors push after his injury and actually widened the lead without him. It was an impressive win regardless.

Yeah, but fans of other teams clearly have an agenda.

 

[trojanfan12]

It's a legit list.

But, there is still some subterfuge there.

They know Damn well the Clippers, Knicks and Heat don't have the assets.

Oh, I agree. That's why the list is out there. The only one of those teams that can come close to beating the Lakers offer is the Knicks and that's only in the off-season if they get the #1 seed.

 

[DJ]

I was never in love with the Cousins/Davis duo.

They kinda occupy the same space.

But, I guess it comes down to...

Is a Cousins and Holiday = To LeBron?

I don't think they are.

They aren't.

 

[Mecca]

lol

Even worse, it's " believe me, don't believe, literally, the 2 most respected reporters out there".

I mean, if this were literally just about anyone else...sure. But Woj and Shams?

Yeah, Broussard?
Flush.

Woj tweeted out every fricking draft pick, 5 mins before they were made.

But, yeah....

He's just guessing....lmfao

 

[Gman]

It was for much of the 3rd and all of the 4th quarter.

lol... for a guy complaining about small size earlier...

None of this quibbling changes the fact that the Lakers offer basically amounts to medicre draft picks and the better part of a team that no one in the NBA would really be excited about...

A purgatory team... stuck right on that border of making the playoffs of just missing out.

It's also the squad that beat the Thunder and was handling the Rockets until Ball got hurt. Framing small sample sizes can be fun!

Admittedly, I "liked" the original comment, but you are correct. Not only that, those guys would not be alone. At least for now they'd be playing with Holiday, Randle and others (assuming Randle can come back?)

 

[DJ]

And all those people and not one can explain why many of the big trades that actually happened were not mentioned ahead of time by the "insiders"

maybe you can help?

Sometimes things come together really quickly....like the Porzy trade. That was a sudden bombshell.

 

[dtgold88]

Yeah, Broussard?
Flush.

And did any know Lebron was coming back to Cleveland? Nope. But Chris Sheridan did.

We're talking about a franchise that couldn't build a consistent winner around Anthony Davis. Odds are that whatever deal they make, they will screw up and be stuck in purgatory. Do you really think Tatum is ready to lead a franchise where AD couldn't take them?

 

[trojanfan12]

James played 20+ minutes in that game.

And left in the 3rd quarter. The Warriors made their patented run and pulled to within 2. The Lakers kids, righted the ship (with some help from Rondo) and it ended up a blowout.

 

[Mecca]

And did any know Lebron was coming back to Cleveland? Nope. But Chris Sheridan did.

Did he list his sources?

If not...

" He just guessed "

 

[dtgold88]

You are a victim of your own hubris.

All you've done is chase your tail.

You are literally shitting your draws trying to discount the validity of any reports that goes against the thing that you seem terrified of happening.

do you think if you keep saying this it will be true? My team has no shot so I don't care where the guy goes.

You don't need me to discount the reports, you need only look at the deals that actually went down. And this is not just the NBA, but the same is true in the NFL.

Deflect away.

You want me to help? Okay. You seem kinda trollish. Getting upset that people won't fall in line w/ your thinking. If so many people don't agree w/ you have you even thought for a second it could be you?

No, Tatum can't.

But, he has more potential to get there than any of the Lakers youngins.

Unidentified sources say yes....lol

This clown is actually saying " Don't believe some guy who makes millions reporting on Sports and believe me some random Dude on the Internet ".


Lmfao

This clown keeps smacking you around so what does that make you? A double secret super clown?

And, please send me a message before you reply to help you understand what is written. No one said believe me, as I don't come out with reports.

 

[trojanfan12]

Not close. I think Lebron is almost the perfect compliment to AD but we could see. I might be overreacting but I think it is the best combo easily in the NBA.

Aside from wanting it because I'm a Lakers fan, I'm very curious to see what Lebron can do with an elite big like AD.

We saw him with Love and Bosh but, while they are/were very good...neither of them are at AD's level.

Yeah, Broussard?

This is true. And even if James slowed down in the next year or so.....he'd be a heck of a #2 option,
