2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

I don’t.

To me, the best player is a guy you can rely on to bring it every time he laces up.

And I don’t think LeBron’s playoff best is equal to Kawhi’s best at this point.

Gonna have to agree to disagree.

 

[trojanfan12]

Would it completely shock me if LeBron were the best player in the 2020 playoffs?

Yeah, it would shock me a little. But I agree you can’t rule out the possibility.

I would definitely bet against it though.

Lol. Not me. Learned my lesson talking about his "obvious decline" in the past.

I think it is entirely possible that Lebron could turn it back on in the playoffs. And you never know what kind of form every star will be in come playoff time.

But I have a hard time seeing Lebron be as dominant as Kawhi was last playoffs. He just doesn't have the defensive game he used to.

Lebron is still a top 6 or 7 player in the league right now. Worse case top 10. So I could see him move into the top 5 for sure.

In fact, she did hold getting to the Finals against the Cavs saying better to be 1-1 than 1-4. Never mind in those 4, as you were showed, the Cavs beat them 12 of 14 times.

I'm assuming you are talking about @Shaqdaddy11.

I disagree.

BUT, like you and I, she has a right to her opinion.

However, if that is the measure of grestness....

Adam Morrison > 1-8 Jerry West

Said nobody, EVER.

There's a significant difference between players and whole teams when discussing winning records.

In 20 years time we're going to look back at the amount of championships and see that the Cavs and Raptors both have one title (because who are we kidding, neither will have any more in the next couple of decades)

Are people seriously going to say the cavs were a significantly better team because they made 4 more trips to the finals?

Heck, the 1971 Bucks are 1 for 2 and i'll take that team over the 2015-18 Cavs every day of the week.

Dallas has certainly impressed. But realistically they should be able to handle them.

Saying that, I did pin the Lakers for a loss in this game when I looked at the first 10.

Sixers with a strong first half.

Matisse Thybulle is freaking incredible on the defensive side. He is causing havoc and the stats don't even tell the whole story as he is closing up lanes to the point of causing the other team make silly mistakes. In 12 minutes tonight he has 3 steals and a block...

I wanted him on the Warriors, and some mocks had him going later than where he was picked.

He would have been a really good fit with the Warriors.

Dubs could definitely use some D right now...

Towns and Embid in a huge brawl!!!

For sure. Our defensive rating is through the roof in a bad way. LOL.

lol, damn. missing the good stuff...

I hear ya, man. don't feel bad though. guess who's got the slowest tempo team in the league...




hint: LeClown and AD play on it

 

[flyerhawk]

Hard to tell what happened. Looks like they were just jostling after a play and things got a little physical. It may appear that Towns took a swing but hard to tell.

Yes, they will.

Because it was Lebron's Cavs.
