2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

[DJ]

Listening to My Block by Tupac.....waiting on this Ohio State-Illinois game to start.

 

[Mecca]

Since the Clarkson trade, Sexton's numbers:

22.6 ppg 48% 2 PT 45% 3 PT 86% FT

What's his assist numbers?

 

[Mecca]

Waiters>kuzma

Wise Choice.

He doesn't address their lack of playmaking.

But, he and Morris add scoring to the bench.

Welcome back to my fantasy team mr Curry

If Waiters can keep his head on straight and shoot the 3 ball well he will be a very nice addition. If he can't...don't give him minutes.

And that's exactly the approach they should take. The Lakers need him, but not as much as he needs them.

Clips be gettin' skurred now.

Wait'll we get Snell!!

Waiters isn't a specialist. Trying to use him as one would not be smart IMO

And the 4th most important guy formerly on the Bucks roster, Bender...who just got cut AGAIN.

All bullshit aside, I would cut Dudz and pick up Smith.

Fatso is not getting any run in the playoffs.

Agree.

But, Lakers have nothing to lose.

If he can be anything close to what he was in OKC, or the first year in Miami, it's a win.

He's not Lou Williams.

He's not even Jordan Clarkson.

But, he can get buckets and they need that in the 2nd unit, especially in days Danny Green and Kuz take a shit.

If nothing more, he's insurance.

Problem is, from what I've heard Dudz helps a lot with the chemistry. Apparently, they all love the guy.

They were talking on the radio today about the Lakers chemistry and how strong it is throughout the whole team, the coaching staff, etc.

From a perspective of possibly helping them, JR would be the obvious choice, but he could also be a guy that screws up the chemistry.

Besides, I'm honestly not sure how much time JR would see. Especially with the Waiters pickup.

He could be Clarkson if he has his head on straight, but nobody's Lou except Lou.

With the Morris signing, if Waiters can keep his head straight, it brings the Lakers a little closer to the Clips.

Both teams at full strength and playing well, the Clips are still better. But it should help the Lakers chances of pulling off an upset.

What about the Rockets?

What about the Rockets?

I don't see them beating the Clippers or Lakers.

Had the Rockets in the finals when I made my predictions back in October.

Let's talk in early June

Ehh, I wouldn't call it an upset if we beat the Clips. I like the Waiters signing, seems to be a no lose situation for us

I think it gets you back to where you were before the trades and buyout acquisitions at best.

We were already better on paper.

You added a good scoring Morris, we added the better defensive Morris.

You added Waiters, we added Jackson.

That's a wash at best.

Again: Paper doesn't win games.

Clippers have to show it.

I enjoy bringing up the fact that you are 0-2 against us.

But, regular Season wins mean Jack shit.

This weekend will be a good measuring stick as to where both teams are.

But, records get reset to 0-0 in the post season and those wins can't help us.

Hard to be the underdog as the #1 seed.
