2018-19 NBA Thread

He’s in the conversation.

Nique and LeBron.

I like in-game dunks.

 

Robin Lopez arriving to the game tonight.

 

Derrick Rose with a career-high 50 points tonite.

 

So much for that stout Jazz defense.

 

My Twitter feed is essentially alternating posts of "couldn't be happier for a great guy" and "he got away with rape."

 

Yeah, about that ...

 

Watching the Suns-Celtics game right now. It's halftime.

The Suns are up 20 and Kyrie Irving is the only Celtics starter to score so far. Rest of the starting lineup is 0-15.

Weird game.

 

It's starting to look like the Celtics aren't who we thought they were.

 

This post didn't age supremely well. Also, while I'm a Celtics fan and heard them mentioned as an Eastern Conference potential winner, most of that was tempered with, "They're going to need time to work Heyward and Irving back in." It hasn't been pretty, but I'd be more worried if we were at the All-Star break.

 

Yeah, I posted before that frantic rally last night. But I didn't think they would have four losses this early and they're trailing tonight. I'm also a Celtics fan. Just a little concerned.

 

Individually, most of the games haven't worried me. Overall though, yeah, I kind of wish they had gelled as quickly as the Raptors seem to be. But at the end of the year, I assume it is going to be a dogfight series between those two teams. (The Sixers worry me less, just because I think their weaknesses are more exaggerated / capable to plan for in a seven game series with one team.)
