2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

[Mecca]

I'm saying not everyone make it public as i showed with Russ last year. I'm sure the Heat knows whatever happened.

Example A of why they don't and the consequences a reporter suffers for thinking they have the right to question it.....



Reporter: Coach, what do you think about Augusto Lima going away in the midst of a series to attend the birth of his child?
Jasikevicius: What do I think about it? I allowed him to go.
Reporter: But is it normal for a player to leave the team during the semifinals?
Jasikevicius: Do you have kids? When you have kids, youngster, you’ll understand. Because that’s the height of human experience. Wow, that’s a good question really. Do you think basketball is the most important thing in life?
Reporter: No, but a semifinal is important…
Jasikevicius: To whom is it important?
Reporter: The team.
Jasikevicius: Which one?
Reporter: Zalgiris.
Jasikevicius: Did you see the number of fans at the game? Important? When you see your first child, you will understand what the most important thing in life is. Because nothing can be more majestic in the world than the birth of a child. Not titles, not anything else. Augusto Lima is now in heaven, emotionally. I’m really happy for him.

[TurnUpTheHeat]

11 pieces who can/should be in the rotation

Winslow
Dragic
Waiters
Herro
Nunn
Bam
Butler
Kelly
Leonard
Johnson
Jones Jr

Robinson-This is the 12th man.

Dont disagree except not sure how much we really need Leonard unless we have injuries.
He tries hard , but....

 

[Mecca]

lol, those memories of Whiteside DOMINATING his short ass still are stuck in my mind...

If nothing else, he's 6 fouls.

I'd take him.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

1 game. Just saying.

Im not talking results, Im talking roster.
Thats not changing and our best player wasn’t there.

The Heat has a full roster of live bodies they can throw at you.

 

[Black Adam]

If nothing else, he's 6 fouls.

I'd take him.

well, if we're going by THAT logic, so's KCP...

 

[Mecca]

I get you are one of the many 100% guys and get confused when someone can see both sides but, in fact, I said wiggy was wrong for ripping the guy without knowing why he missed the game.

And, yes, I do believe when it is the birth of a child it is more often mentioned than not and disclosed to the media before the game is even missed.

Not always BEFORE the game.

But, it usually comes out in the wash afterwards.

Not just players, coaches too.

I remember Spo and Kidd missing for child birth back in the day...

 

[Mecca]

well, if we're going by THAT logic, so's KCP...

Yeah.....

I usually ride with you.

But, 1 year or Thompson at 17 mil -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> 1 quarter of KCP for free....lol

Dude is so traaaaaaaaaaaash.

#KlutchContracts

 

[Wamu]

That was a tough game to watch last night. FT's! FT's! FT's! Dammit.

And Phuck Filly.

 

[Black Adam]

Yeah.....

I usually ride with you.

But, 1 year or Thompson at 17 mil -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> 1 quarter of KCP for free....lol

Dude is so traaaaaaaaaaaash.

#KlutchContracts

not denying that...

but paying that 17 mil to watch him get trashed by bigger and better centers...?

that's all i'm saying...

 

[Mecca]

Would TT be your second best big if you had him?

Wow......

Possibly.

It's hard to tell sometimes because I have to believe the Lakers bigs are somewhat neutered....or, maybe muzzled is a better word?

They can possibly give you more. But, the Lakers only want them to shag boards, block shots, catch the occasional lob.

TT has more of a greenlight.

But, gun to my head, yeah.

After AD, Thompson with his zero lift game, might be better at this point.

Here's where I think the Lakers should avoid him....

The Kardashian drama.

His head would not be right in LA.

the foul calls WERE a tad much imo...

 

[Mecca]

that's all i'm saying...

I think he'd be okay, if it weren't a LA Team.

Would not put that babymaker back in close proximity to the Kardashians.

There aren't as many top flight true centers these days.

But, you need as many bigs as you can throw at Embiid, Jokic etc.

 

[Wamu]

the foul calls WERE a tad much imo...

No doubt. 70 total FT's. 36 for Philly, 34 for Boston. 63 total fouls. It's safe to say those refs were whistle-happy last night.

Wait a minute. I thought the name was spelled K-a-r-d-A-S-S-i-a-n?

 

[Black Adam]

I ain't goin' there...

 

[Wamu]

I ain't goin' there...

I will!

Kim's rear end is so big she beeps when she moves backwards.

Kim's fart-box is so massive Kanye needs to put on scuba gear before jumping in.
