2018-2019 NBA Season

Funny thing is I remember KD saying once he would love to play for Toronto. When, where, no idea. The thing is if Raps lose Kawhi, and it is very likely, than KD will have his own team in Toronto that is almost there. Why would you chose a team to start from scratch, a total unknown situation? Same with Bucks. Why would I NOT go to Bucks, a team that is almost ready to win it all? Unless you want bright lights, big city...

Who knows, KD is a bit of a flake in his own right but would Toronto without Kawhi be better long term than the Knicks if they add a star player and have the #3 pick this year? I'm not sure. And if all things are equal KD would pick the more historic huge market in the States. There is no way he'd go to the Bucks as it is a somewhat similar situation to GSW, he'd be joining a mega superstar on a team that's doing well without him. Obviously Bucks and Giannis are not GSW and Curry but it's still similar enough. Hey it'd be a dream come true, I'd give my left nut for it.

I agree, but not surprisingly a lot of pundits are pointing at Draymond. It seems that with some folk it doesn't matter what Curry does they'll find an excuse to give someone else the credit. It would shock me if Draymond were to get MVP in the finals if the same pattern develops. Obviously not something you want to contemplate being a Bucks fan, but you get my point

When it comes to bball all the best players get a lot of hate. It shows they are doing something right. But yeah if Curry plays like he's been playing there is no way anyone would vote Draymond for MVP. Anyways with 10 more days I'm sure Durant will be back.

No way they would have come back from double digit deficits w/o Curry. He can get his own shot anytime and led the comeback in all 3 games. Green was good for defense, hustle plays and some assists, but he needs to score a little more if he wants the moniker of MVP.

Anyone else kind of finding it awkward when they say Warriors are first team to make 5 straight since Boston in the 60's? KS and I have been calling teams the LeBron's for awhile now.

The new LeBron's are in total chaos now. I don't think he can turn that around unless they trade away all the young guys he pissed off and somehow get something decent in return. The fact of the matter is with his mileage he can't play defense throughout the regular season and hope to be fresh come playoffs. Ergo he can't totally carry a team to 50 wins anymore without some serious help. But if he gets in the playoffs then he turns on the defense and everything else. Just looking at the West right now he'd lose to GSW, maybe Houston, and then probably no one else in a 7 game series. But he may have problems getting into the dance without a big change...

Lakers have #4 pick this year but from what I hear there is a big drop off in potential between #3 and #4 pick this year

 

[DarthFed]

Embarrassing effort by everyone so far. Giannis aggressive on offense but awful on defense and the glass. Everyone else awful everywhere

 

[DarthFed]

Lowry, Ibaka and Gasol absolutely owning them. Can't even blame it on having too much attention on Leonard, this defense just sucks

 

[DarthFed]

Tons of free throws for Toronto already. Weak ass Lowry able to drive wild and chuck shit up

Kawhi looks so tired but the guy is trying hard. The bench finally helping him. Middleton and Mirotic are trying hard.
Kyle came to play too. It will get tight in the second half though as usual.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Stupidest foul by Middleton though...WTF is he thinking?

Wouldn't you be gassed too? The guy has been carrying them since R1 and last series was 7 games down to the last second. I'm sure he's not looking forward to another 7 game series, but I don't see the Deer giving up so quickly. So we might be in store for 3 more games.

 

[DarthFed]

Bledsoe simply shouldn't be on the floor. He's poor on both ends just as I always say. Once he's mentally rattled he brings nothing

 

[DarthFed]

And all around too many ridiculous defensive breakdowns. This was supposed to be a good defensive team

 

[DarthFed]

Middleton can't guard a statue and the tard stays in the restricted area. Just dumb basketball

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Gasol playing smart so far.

 

[DarthFed]

Shouldn't play Bledsoe a fucking second. Bud is stubborn

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

What is with the Greek's free throw technique man? Use some legs. Jeez...

 

[DarthFed]

Zero defense on the floor. Toronto getting easy shot after easy shot. Unimpressive defense most of this series but this is really pathetic

There's a few of those this post season. Like Austin Rivers. Not sure who besides his Pop told him he could ball

 

[DarthFed]

What is with the Greek's free throw technique man? Use some legs. Jeez...

He can't shoot worth shit yet. And he is mentally rattled, playing piss poor overall.

 

[DarthFed]

Brogdon picked a bad time to be worthless too. Today only Middleton has showed up on offense
