2018-19 NBA Thread

As much as I'm pulling for the W's, I do not want to see Harden hurt seriously and hope he can play unaffected by the eye issues the rest of the series.

What I love is how the "glue" guys Igoudala and Draymond are showing how important the little things are (because when I play that's how I play.)

 

What is it about Shaq, 7 feet 1 and always the biggest guy in the room, that he always has the most infantile ego in the room? He's been that man-baby forever. Always has to win. Always has to dominate. And when he can't, he cries out loud.

He's Marcellus Wallace, actually.

It blows me away that Shaq has so many endorsements. He does Gold Bond, The General insurance, Carnival Cruises, and has done a ton of other stuff. I assume his Q rating must be really high... and I don't get it. He mumbles. He's sort of goofy but in a charmless way. I don't dislike him, but I sure as hell wouldn't hire him to be my pitchman.

 

Yeah, I like Shaq, but ...

I like every moment Chuck bullies Shaq. It shows what the Javale McGee taunting shows, that Shaq needs to be the top dog giving people shit or else he starts to mumblecry. I mean really, you’re going to knock Chuck out because...he took too many minutes of a timed segment?

 

The fact that Chuck took all that time to talk about the wrong white guy on Portland made it even more funny.

 

Called it (sorta).

Lakers poised to offer coaching job to Tyronn Lue

 

So how long before JR Smith, Tristan, KLove and Shumpert join the Lakers??? Oh let's not forget Shabazz Napier too (LeBron wanted him in Miami before he abandoned them).

 

Triple OT between Nuggets-Blazers

 

I don't remember Pasch being this much of a hacky announcer. The constant "joker" references are irritating. Could be worse. Imagine if Jusuf Nurkic was going against Nikola Jokic. Can't believe they played together.

 

4OT now. Crazy.

 

FOUR OTs.
