NBA Season (18-19)

Adding melo...was dumb

Right. Ariza was perfect for that team. HOU lost their defense.

 

[MizzouCowboy4]

He has a broken shot but he's a good defensive pg and distributor.

I can see why the Wizards would want to move Wall, he just signed a 207 million dollar extension last year that will last through 2023 and they're currently 11-14. He even has a 15% trade kicker. It would probably take the Lakers out of star chasing next summer (maybe they agree no stars want to play with Lebron?)

If Ball doesn't work out for the Wizards he's only making 7 million.

As a Mavs fan I'd love to see them get Bradley Beal somehow since the Wizards appear to be in firesale mode.

Beal was one if BEST players ever In State of mo

Mavs have a brutal schedule coming up starting in a few games.

@ Denver
@ LA Clippers
@ Golden State
@ Portland
vs. New Orleans
@ New Orleans
vs. Oklahoma City
@ Oklahoma City
@ Charlotte
@ Boston
@ Philly
vs. LA Lakers

and they've been a good home team (11-2) and a bad road team (2-9). Hope they don't fall of a cliff.

Laker's Kuz is playing his best ball since his hot streak last year. Should have been a top 5 pick.

they'll almost certainly get beaten up pretty good.
but schedule will come back around and they'll be loaded with home games.
crazy to have 12 games stretch where the only home games are back to back home and home series.
def some scheduled losses in there.
on the bright side hopefully they learn to win road gamed during the stretch.

Wow. That strecth of games is nutzo. 6-6 would be a win. I think they'll play well provided they stay healthy. DSJ n Dirk coming back will be a boost, strengthening the bench even more.

8 straight for Boston. They have had a bit of a cupcake schedule of late, but it might be just what they needed to build momentum

Time Lord has been getting consistent minutes the last few games and has done good job on the glass. Good to see. Williams could be a nice peice inside if he can develop into a Capella type player

Lakers played well last night. James and Ball both had triple-doubles.

I want a Luka Doncic jersey.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

So which player should I spend all season hoping the Knicks land, only to be disappointed when we get passed in the lottery by 3 or 4 teams? RJ Barrett or Zion Williamson?

 

[Silver Surfer]

Look at the faces in the crowd. He had a tough night from the floor, but that shot was something else. Its hard not to like the kid.

Zion.

He is an interesting fit in the NBA, but the dude is just a player. RJ Barrett has a real nice modern game, but Zion is a soul eater

The fact that he is the man on that team with the two guys (Barrett and Reddish) that were considered the top 2 prospects in the draft tells me he is just a natural alpha dog

Zion clearly gets the most attention, but RJ is the leading scorer and right behind him in rebounds. What impresses me the most about Zion is at least for now, he seems to be just as interested in defense. I'm just not sure how his defensive game will translate to the NBA.

Barrett may never be Kobe defensively, but I can see McGrady type potential as an offensive player.

I remember reading an article about Zion that it was very hard grade his D in HS, but he had that edge to him that top NBA defenders have.

Lakers had a nice win last night. I was exhausted from the holiday and when Lebron injured his groin in the 3rd the Lakers were winning by about 15 or so and the Warirors started getting back into it quickly. I fell asleep soon after to awake and find the Lakers still won 26. I'll have to go back and watch the dvr to see what happen in the 4th qt.

Lakers 127 - Warriors 101

4th quarter was about Draymond getting in foul trouble and fouling out (who is playing himself out of any type of max deal), Durant missing open 3s, Rondo playing like it was his first game back in Boston when he was with the Mavs and Zubac playing like he was Shaq.

Hopefully Rondo will keep playing well. Zubac making the most of this current opportunity.

 

[Clove]

I think Doncic may be THAT guy one day. He just has this magic about him, and his play. He's a smiley kid, but he has that killer instinct like Curry has. Nice face, killer instinct. If I'm a Super Star in this league, I'd like to play with this guy because he can/will find you, and I think you can win with him. Just my opinion... I like this kid.
