2018-19 NBA Thread

I was telling my wife in 1st half they’re not going to keep making those shots. I knew Curry could keep up the hot shooting, Meyers Leonard, I liked the Ws chances.

 

So is Myers Leonard suddenly .....good? I realize the Ws gave a lot of minutes to their B group (Kevon Looney, who knew?) - but the Blazers do need a better front court. I doubt Kanter comes back. Does Collins have that much upside? Nurkic is a question mark with the leg and I doubt Aminu is back. Year to year raises eat up most of what they lose with Kanter, Curry, Hood and Aminu salaries.

And I remember early in the year when the discussion was about the rift between Draymond and KD and everyone saying the Warriors should dump Draymond in the hopes that it would get KD to stay. KD is the best player in the game - but I think for Golden State, Draymond's absence would be felt more.

 

I think we've both seen that more than a few times during this Warriors run. Teams shoot lights out in the first half, run out of gas in the second.

 

Insight from Ramona Shelburne on the Lakers, this is good.

The Lakers' public drama is a crisis of ownership

 

You keep being you, duckboy.

 

The Warriors are 31-1 with Curry in the lineup and without Durant.

 

This is apparently what you got on ESPN 2 last night.

 

Nice to see Bratwurst got time away from waxing LeBron's trophies to come back to slumming it with his homies.

 

Saw Klays D on the last Lilliard drive in OT again and that was perfect vertical challenge, straight up, don’t slap down. Why do 7 footers slap down instead of making someone shoot over you? Or worse guys just give up and bail out hack.
