Dolfan in NYC Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Well, here we are again. And once again the G*ld*n St*te W*rriors are the prohibitive favorites to win. Oh well, try to look surprised in June when Steph Curry and Kevin Durant talk about how *this* one was the one that they EARNED. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawful Metal Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Excited to see the new look Rockets tonight! I know everyone in town is locked in on the Astros, but I’m real excited to see the MVP and company. I’m interested to see what Melo has to offer, but essentially anything he does contribute is gravy. He’s taking the place of Ryan Anderson, and it’s not like he ever played defense either. I think the loss of Trevor Ariza is overstated, and I think James Ennis will mitigate any loss there. Plus, he’s younger, and I’m sure his 3% will improve with getting wide open looks and on target passes from Harden and Paul. Mans ... just stay healthy. The Rockets were a pulled hamstring from beating Golden State in 6. They can do it again, if they’re healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Ryan Broekhoff is from the same town of about 30,000 people as I'm from. Playing his first NBA game for the Mavs today. Very surreal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 50, 28 and 8 combined for Blake and Andre. Two starters out sick, picked up the win. I'll take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Interesting, the DLeague is starting a "professional path" for elite prospects as an alternative to playing a year of college ball. $125k contracts, access to NBA development programs, and the freedom to hire an agent and sign endorsement deals. I could definitely see a lot of guys going this route, especially if the corruption trial going on now dries up some of that shoe company money that's getting spread around.

Zimbra Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I had genuinely not thought about Lavar in months. Thanks for breaking my streak, jerk. Anyway, he should probably worry about paying his own players before he starts worrying about this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Bulls started the first quarter with 41 points and then vomited on themselves for the rest. Joel Embiid got pretty much everything he wanted all the time. This was funny: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jrag Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 T wolves update! - Jimmy Butler was booed during introductions at the home opener. - Jimmy Butler received MVP chants midway through the game. - Jimmy Butler scored 33 points on 12 shots! - Towns and Wiggins scored a combined 34 points on 31 shots All hail Jimmy Buckets, lord and ruler of Minnesota. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East is super interesting his year. Raptors/Celtics ECF seems likely, but if Giannis ups his game in Bud's system we're talking about a 4 team race. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contentious C Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I like how GS almost lost a game where their MVP winners combined for 69 points to a guy named Joe Ingles. Joe Ingles should be tuning up your car, not tuning up the defending champs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Joe Ingles is a stud and I will hear no more slander! I was sold last year during the playoffs when he put the beat down on PG while acting like a goon. Seriously though, Ingles is legit baller. He had a better 3p% than both Curry and KD last year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
