2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

This is off topic a bit but im extremely disappointed in Bagley

It was a total Kings pick. I said it was a horrible pick when it was made. And that isn’t even a knock on Bagley. He is a 4 in an era dominated by versatile wings and PGs.

They should have taken Luka. And we all knew it.

Lebron going to win the mvp

Not convinced yet, but he seems to be gaining momentum. Especially with the Lakers beating the Bucks and Clips and Giannis getting hurt. I hope LeBron does get it.

Dude is like mini Draymond Green man. He may be the heart, and soul of the team,
but he trash talk like he's a star or something. I don't hate the clippers by any means, but it's nice to see him on the losing end today, albeit in a regular season game

He needs to shut up and just play sometimes.

Can't we all just get along? For the children and the old people?"

"Old people", since when does anyone give a shit about me?

Doesn't the media vote on these awards? If so it is over. They're now acting like these games are game 7 of the finals whenever the lakers win against a top team to make sure Bron gets the MVP

Yep but Bagley barely playing makes that pick look so horrible. We're in March of his 2nd season and he played a total of 75 games in his career

I mean, they are only like 2-3 games back of the Bucks.

If they catch them, LeBron winning would be legit.

if they don't, it wouldn't be a huge upset either.

What LeBron is doing isn't as Historic as what Westbrook did when he won. But, it's pretty darn impressive for
anyone, let alone a guy in his mid 30's.

If Nash won over Shaq, Kobe....

Yeah, this could happen.

I don't think Giannis get enough credit considering Middleton is his 2nd option. One guy has a borderline top 5 player/superstar on his team while the other has Khris Middleton who is at best a borderline top 25 player and not close to a superstar

Thank you, but like you said yesterday, it's only one game. Nevertheless it wouldn't disappoint me one bit to see "A" Clipper NBA championship banner hanging amonst the 16 Laker banners up in the rafters of the Staples Center.

Of course. But, for example, Marcus Morris was something like 0-9 and 0-7 from 3. That's not likely to happen again.

Avery Bradley had 24 points and hit, I believe, five 3's. That's not likely to happen again either.

Marcus is only shooting 26% from 3 with the Clips. It's a bad game, but he hasn't been trending well thus far with the Clips. Pressure to win, as well as unfamiliarity with the system and teammates are all certainly factors. Pretty easy to not worry about those shots while playing for the Knicks.

Not surprised.

This is the difference between guys like LeBron and Durant, Kyrie.

We can be boys. But, winning comes first.

Nets willing to stunt Allen's growth in a lost Season just to make their 2 petulant stars, WHO AREN'T EVEN PLAYING, happy.

Welp.....

Good luck to Jackson or whomever lands that job.

True.

Lou is a totally different story though.

It would be a sad little banner.

But, I'd be happy to get off the snide.

Hell, the Suns should've taken Luka.

Yeah, he was really not a factor. Several shots blocked even.

I totally agree.

Both have great stats.

But, recency bias will be a factor.

LeBron is coming on like a freight train right now.

If folks are actually leaning ZIon for ROY after 10 games, LeBron over Giannis won't really be a surprise for me.

Giannis has the interior sidekick.

But, outside of the top 2 guys, the Bucks have the better roster.....imo

Most of the Lakers guys are either WASHED or very green. But, because of him, they keep winning.

I would vote for Giannis.

But, LeBron is worthy as well.

Well if the Clipps can stay healthy, they have a damn good chance to get that banner.
