NBA 2018-2019

Fingers crossed!

They should climb the ladder. Would not be surprised to see them lose by 6 to the Warriors, then win next year.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I mean...Rondo is the one who pooped the bed tonight.

And Reggie Bullock, who we keep trotting out there as a starter like that’s really some key pickup. SMH. Dude’s an 8th man at best. Why we don’t at least start KCP or Hart who have been on the team...I swear it’s political and they feel like they have to start the guy they traded for so they can pretend like it was a key move. Or am I that jaded?

Ridiculous loss though.

Well, he's activated.
How is it playing with scrubs LBJ? Welcome to Melo's world.

He is activated watch this effort.

 

[Trueblue25]

ive stopped caring about Lebron, there’s multiple better players and even more exciting players in the league at this point.

You will like this one.

You can just see the intensity radiating off of him.

 

[Knicks411]

The Knicks were losing at half time today by 36 points.

So you're saying they played with LeBronesque intensity and urgency?

Where has fireball jr been? I need a LeBron allie.

Safe to say playoff mode has been activated

I'm actually a little worried about him. Hope he's ok. Good dude.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

He’s in witness protection. Still has LeBron’s back. So does the Doggfather, although he’s not high (I’m sure he’s high) on the Lakers right now.

cuncel the Lakers

What’s Really Wrong With the Boston Celtics?

"These days, Irving plays lackadaisical defense, and unfocused offense. Sources around the team told me that Irving’s persona has changed, too: He’s become disengaged and detached from those around the team. There is talk that Irving’s friendships on the team start and end with Tatum, with whom he shares an agent. Two sources peg Irving’s change in demeanor to early February, around the time he was asked about the possibility of joining the New York Knicks next season."

(h/t to r/nnyknicks for this)

At this point, if I were Danny, I'd go all in on the young guys and, if I could confirm that Hayward is tracking to be fully back by early next year (meaning near 100%), I'd let Kyrie walk.

There are enough stats about the team's performance with Kyrie not playing in games versus when he suits up (not talking when he's on/off the floor in a game where he's playing) that I think it's addition by subtraction.

If Hayward has a PG-like recovery (I don't think he'd be in the MVP race or anything), that team is stacked with arguably the best coach in the East.

i hope with all I have that the Knicks DO NOT max Kyrie.

They should bench him and see how the team does. Boston is not winning it all anyway. Kyrie is just odd

 

[OrangeDW]

Golden State signs Bogut. So now they’ve got 4 centers. Why? Don’t they need another wing who can shoot if they’re going to sign someone?

I get that Steph, Durant, and Klay are like the greatest 3 man shooting assembly ever. But that’s all they got. If Steph or KD is out, Klay can’t create and nobody respects Draymond’s shot.

Feels like a wasted roster move.

Blows my mind how guys like Kyrie and KD can basically start rumors about themselves, and then act flabbergasted when they’re called on it.

Millennial softy passive aggressive weirdo Snapchat generation poster boys.

You forgot to work the word "pajamas" in.

They always carry way more C than they need to. It's a weird tradition.

 

[OrangeDW]

Where the hell is Lonzo Ball? He taking on Cowboy Bob Orton’s permanently injured gimmick?

 

[OrangeDW]

And the one saving grace to this season was I’d probably get to watch Carmelo play for the Lakers.

But now we suck too much for that to happen.

I mean, how eager would you be to be back in that locker room?
