2018-19 NBA Thread

Durant's whole 2018-19 season belongs in the Bad Body Language Hall of Fame.

 

Durant strikes me as a more capable Carmelo. A great player, but not exactly a guy who can lead a team. You really need a strong point guard to pair with him.

And now Cousins really won't be Boogie-ing. He's out with a torn quad.

 

While Draymond can be a tremendous pain in the ass, I wonder if Durant can ever be made happy.

He's winning titles, playing with a superstar peer who has been as deferential as possible and another star who appears to love playing second fiddle (Klay), all while being coached by a players-first, unassuming guy. All of that, and he's still incredibly sour.

The greener grass of NY is going to be a rude awakening.

 

If Carmelo were 7 feet tall, crazy athletic, able to play inside or outside, and one of the top defensive players in the game.

 

Durant strikes me as a superstar who doesn't appear to be happy.

I would never have used him in a comparison with Carmelo.

 

Did @heyabbott take control of your account?

 

Sorry Durant is a two-time Finals MVP; he's head and shoulders above Carmelo.

Durant is moody though and unlike other greats, doesn't go all-out all the time, last night was a prime example.

 

As a player I absolutely agree. I'm just saying as a "build your team around" guy. As long as whoever signs Durant doesn't expect rallying speeches and players to look for him to lead the team - they'll be fine.

 

Yeah, he is head and shoulders above Carmelo but not because of his two Finals MVPs.

 

The Clippers are the last SoCal team standing among their hoops and hockey squads.

 

Beautiful isn't it

 

I was surprised to see Jared Dudley was still in the league.
