2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

[Black Adam]

The Lakers schedule is ridiculously easy for the next month.

No excuse for them to not have the best record

so what's your point...?

kidding. but yeah, unless they start lapsing in a major way they SHOULD pile up a decent amount of wins. btw, the defense is DEFINITELY improving. liking the rim protection so far...

wasn't sure how all that was gonna turn out in the beginning of the season, but so far, so good. and there's STILL room to grow...

Speaking of easy schedules, if the Heat go 2-1 on this upcoming trip then the schedule is a bit soft til end of month.

Detroit
Cleveland (2X)
New Orleans
Charlotte
Philly
Houston
Warriors
Chicago

lol yeah...

not sure "game" is the word i'd use to describe that execution...

 

[DJ]

ok...

the Lakers won again last night and are currently leading the Western conference in the standings...

and Dwight Howard for all of his wackiness is actually being true to his word and trying to act like a model citizen. guess his re-joining the team WASN'T a disaster after all...

He'll be starting soon....

As bad as UCLA has been.....they could still be in the Pac-12 title game if they run the table....

 

[bksballer89]

He'll be starting soon....

He doesn't need to. The role he is in is perfect and not like the Lakers are having major issues to start the game.

 

[DJ]

Bet on the Lakers-Heat game, @bksballer89, @TurnUpTheHeat or @Heatles84? I could bet with all 3 of y'all....

 

[Black Adam]

He'll be starting soon....

agreed...

nothing against JaVale, but Howard is the better rebounder and shot blocker there. provides an intimidation factor as well...

like I said, didn't know he had that much left in the tank, but that's turning out to be a GOOD thing for us...

No, he doesn't NEED TO, but I THINK HE WILL.

Of those 9 games I see 5 losses. Detroit, Philly, Houston, & of course the Cavs will win both games by a combined 67 points.

Cleveland doesn't rock, but Tristan Thompson does.

I'm a rich bitch.....want to bet now that I have a nice stack....

Technically, a separate thread would be better because not everyone wants to talk football.

On the other hand, the NFL and college seasons are in full swing with playoff contention and bowl games being sorted out, while the NBA just started. So I kind of expect a certain amount of football talk in here. Heck, I participate in it.

Heck, @bksballer89 does also.

So? Every team in the NBA has an easy stretch in their schedule during a season.

What's the spread?
I think the Lakers should win, all things equal.
