2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

Dejounte Murray kept his word and wanted to be a SPUR long term.

If he can stay healthy, this kid will be a two way all-star soon.

So Zion is out 6-8 weeks? ESPN and TNT can't be too happy with that.

Hopefully this isnt the beginning of an injury-riddled short career. This kid is exciting

ohh and I have him in one league. Took him kinda late though so isnt a huge deal

Well it's a pretty huge step up for Theis. He went from 3rd on the depth chart to the starter. And the Celtics are going to be undersized at the 4 as well.

With the talent around him in the starting line up, Theis doesn't have to be anything more than a solid team defender who hits the occasional 3 on offense.

I've watched Theis the past couple of seasons, and I'm comfortable he can deliver that.

They are going to be a pretty good team still but I think they are going to need to make a move to address this.

That's fair. If the C's want to be a bonafide title contender... they need better in the front court.

Big guys like Giannis and Embiid are gonna be too much in a 7 game series.

Woj already suggested that if Iggy were to become available he'd probably go to one of the LA teams.

I don't see anyone trading for him though. I don't know how much longer he can wait to be bought out either.

He makes 17 mil.

So, yeah......

It's not impossible for the Clippers.

Harkless makes 11 and Mcgruder at 5 will get it done financially.

Can't imagine why Memphis would want that and Rodney can't be traded yet anyway.

I would gladly give them Jerome Robinson. But, again....

Why would that interest the Grizz?

 

[msgkings322]

He's gonna be injured a lot in his career I think, might be a bust like kwame

Well, that does make the Blake Griffin comparisons fit even better

Preseason is usually a pretty good indicator of how a team is going to use a new player. I get it. You hate Russ so no need to continue this conversation.

When you make the claim that a player who was getting about 21 shots per game in the playoffs wasn't getting the ball enough, there is no need to carry that conversation on.

I'll agree to disagree. See you in April when the Rockets are around 55 wins and top 2 in their conference.

lol, yep. no need to argue about it...

just go into wait and see mode to find out who's right...

Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball better step up.

Lonzo better watch his ass.

Jrue can run the point and JJ is a much better shooter.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker looks like he's going to be a stud too.

So, if Lonzo starts slow, he could see his ass on the bench by the All-star break.

Kept him on a Curry, prove you can stay healthy, team friendly deal.

Spurs did well.

I don't see Lonzo staying in NOLA past his contract unless the team really over performs.

He seems like the kind of guy who wants to have his own say in where he plays.

 

[trojanfan12]

You want him attempting 40 shots?

It would still be fewer than Westbrook.

Clippers Coach Doc Rivers Say Los Angeles Is A 'Lakers Town'

“It is a Lakers town. I’m good with that. I have no issues with that,” Clippers head coach Doc Rivers told The Undefeated. “They have how many titles that they’ve won here? You know, they claim them all, but they only won a certain amount here. I will say that. That actually bugs me a little bit. … Having said that, that’s generations of loyalty.”

Oh Doc.....

 

[Black Adam]

tf12, a buck 30 left in the game and the Rockets are down 7. 3 guesses who goes into hero ball mode...?

 

[Mecca]

It would still be fewer than Westbrook.

Dick...lol

I mean, Dude has Clipper and Celtics ancestry.

He can't help himself....lol

seriously...?

lmfao haters gonna hate...

That's the go-to move to discredit your championships.

Shit will get 10 times worse if you ever catch the Celtics.

 

[trojanfan12]

You hate Russ so no need to continue this conversation.

How come you think that when anyone disagrees with you about a player, it's because they hate that player?

Here's a clue, just because I criticize him, doesn't mean I hate him. I've said countless times on here that he's my favorite non-Lakers player to watch. I love his passion and how hard he plays. Westbrook doesn't just never take games off. He never takes a play off.

I've also said that I wouldn't want to watch him play for the Lakers for the reasons I'm skeptical of it working with Harden.

 

[Black Adam]

I mean, Dude has Clipper and Celtics ancestry.

He can't help himself....lol

guess i gotta give him cred for being himself about it...

I hear it all the time. The whole "They only won 11 in LA" thing.

Still the same team, same name, same organization.

In contrast, my kids were born in the UK - now that we moved to the United States does that mean their whole life over there was meaningless?
