NBA 2018-19 Regular Season Thread Part II

[Terry Yake]

I did not expect the Nets to perform this well this season.

This team is fun to watch.

glad to see russell doing so well

 

[darko]

Averaging 36 something now over the season.

Dude about to win another MVP

He's just about a lock at this point. Straight up beast.

 

[darko]

Another beauty from harden lmao

25 FT
5/20 from 3

Keep on chucking and flopping around like a ***** lol

17-38 from the field. Nothing wrong with that. Keep on hating.

 

[Aladyyn]

I hate when refs decide games. The goddamn Warriors don't need this much help.

 

[Del Preston]

 

[darko]

Harden 30+ again. 22 in a row.

 

[Morozov]

I'm loving seeing Faried out there doing well and enjoying himself.

 

[darko]

And Rockets barely hang on.

 

[Del Preston]

And Rockets barely hang on.

How did that happen? I stopped watching when it was 15-point game late.

Raps hit a bunch of 3s late. Kawhi had a chance to win it but air balled it.

Thought maybe Gordon was fouled on his missed 3 but would need to see a replay.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Harden 30+ again. 22 in a row.

He's amazing but poor shooting performance today. 9/25 FG, 2/13 from 3. 15/15 from free throws though. Either way, he's unstoppable

 

[LaVar]

He's amazing but poor shooting performance today. 9/25 FG, 2/13 from 3. 15/15 from free throws though. Either way, he's unstoppable

bound to have off shooting nights with how much he's carrying the team without cp3 + capela

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Harden 30+ again. 22 in a row.

Yeah, but he's scoring points in a way that I don't like, therefore hate.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Watching the Kings replay from last night, and Bagley was clutch in the 4th. Despite the other guys taken after him I'm still happy with the pick.

 

[dahrougem2]

Harden will probably get MVP, but honestly based on how trash Cleveland's record is, I'd give to LeBron on that merit alone lol.

 

[BostonBob]

And the drama begins in LA.


from basketball.realgm.com:

Jackie MacMullan stated in a recent episode of the "Brian Windhorst & the Hoop Collective" podcast that people around LeBron James have made it known they want Luke Walton replaced with a new coach.

“There’s a lot of tension in that building. A lot of tension in that building, and I think people are wondering about Luke Walton even though Jeanie Buss came out very strongly and said ‘I want Luke to be here, I back him 100 percent,’ but then also made the point that has to be made, and that’s that she hired Earvin Magic Johnson to make these decisions, and if Earvin feels differently she gave him the power to make those kinds of decisions. It’s clear to me, and probably to you Brian, that LeBron’s camp would prefer a coaching change. They’re not too subtle about that,” said MacMullan.

Windhorst added that while the noise wasn't coming from James directly, that his camp was voicing their unhappiness over Walton "is a fair thing to say".

Do these types of videos play for anybody ???? All I get is the " loading circle " that will keep looping but never start playing.

Lebrons tactics will not work in LA, Magic and Jeanie have a lot of pull in the organization. This isn’t Cleveland as he was able to get away with a lot of back end stuff. The politics in LA are much more complicated than it was there...

luke sucks but firing him now and appointing an interim won't change anything

and aside from mark jackson there's no one available anyways

 

[Avs_19]

They tried it in Miami but Riley and Wade had Spo's back so it wasn't going to happen. Walton does have the most powerful person in the Lakers organization in his corner but he could be in trouble if Jeanie Buss defers to basketball operations because it doesn't seem like Magic is a huge fan of his.

I don't blame Walton for what's currently happening. LeBron is out and they built a flawed roster around him to begin with.

Nope. It only works for me if I copy the URL and open it in a new tab.

Steven Adams with the “Kiwi-step”.

I would love to see Mark Jackson take the Lakers job for the chance to get the Warriors in the playoffs. They dragged his name through the mud after they fired him.

Good game between the Mavs and Raps

Doncic triple double.
