2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[DJ Fieri]

WHy are NBA players so bad at intentional FT misses?

It isn't hard for an average shooter. Just line up a little left or right, hit the side rim and get the bounce off the backboard. The mistle off the backboard never works.

Ball would make it if he tried to miss.

Pistons

I've made several jokes on here at their expense

But hey I've got to witness a few good runs

Bg32 is still my favorite player.

If you guys could swap Reggie for Mike Conley you would be a playoff team.

Looks like that got Stauskas and Baldwin back including 2 2nd rounders. Not sure how to interpret the value but I do know Hood would have not been a Cav next season

I think it is pretty good.

Hood was never worth a first and they did a good job returning players on 1 year deals making almost nothing.

No one in the league reminds me more of Kobe with the ball in his hands than Irving.

Legit

I didn't know Sporting News was still a thing.

Better Portland than the Dubs.

They wanted him too.

I agree. They are one deals too and get two 2nd rounders is making something out of nothing imo

 

[DJ Fieri]

Wiggy was saying they might get a 1st rounder for Hood and the get 2 2nd rounders.....classic.

Maybe that is what he is doing wrong?

Just try to miss em all Lonzo!

I agree and I'd be very happy if that happened but I think it's come time to acknowledge they can't win much with Drummond

I definitely feel like the have to do something. Either blow it up or go full all in with a guy like Conley and say "this is our team the next two seasons"

Considering the depth in this draft is suspect....it's not a bad play with the latter

I've often thought this....he's an assassin.

 

[DJ Fieri]

And I've ripped Irving by calling him IRving, Mr Glass, but if he were serious in wanting to reunite with LeBron? Welcome him with open arms at the airport and be his personal chauffeur.

 

[LAD]

Show us on the dolly where LeBron touched you...

Of course that plays a part in it. and? Seems to work well in the NFL. I doubt fans in smaller cities mind being able to hold onto their star players.

I bet fans of small market teams also like having somewhat of a shot at landing super stars.

Basketball fans watch & WANT to watch no matter if their teams are winning/playing.

You need a scoring wing if you keep Drummond.

Stanley Johnson is likely a bust.

But, if you do ship Andre out, I hope it isn't for Marc Gasol.

I saw that rumor last week.

Just........no.

 

[LAD]

you get they won game 7 with Green on the floor, as well as games 3 and 5?

You get they were on path to win that series when he got suspended? You also get that the game Dray missed is when Bogut went down to never return?

So, if Cavs fans can suspect the Cavs would've won in '15 had Kyrie & Love played, the same holds true in that series when Dray & Bogut went down.

Not making a topic because I figure most of the people that would know about it post in here so

Have any of you seen this 21 Savage situation? He got arrested by ICE today and is likely getting deported...TO BRITAIN.

WTF. Apparently he's whole persona is fake. He actually immigrated here as teen from the UK on a visa which expired over a decade ago. Lol, this is nuts

 

[LAD]

Yeah, you put up with undesirable traits when the player is good enough.

Kevin Love is in Blake Griffin's tier, not Anthony Davis.

AD is a change your franchise type of player. Love not so much. HUGE difference. HUGE.
