2018-2019 NBA Thread

I don't think that's true. Warriors looked pretty unstoppable for many games Cousins was around for.

A 23-12 Cousins playing alongside Green to cover him defensively with Kd Curry and Thompson....lol. That team was ridiculous when everyone was healthy.

They have now suffered from injuries and might not even have both splash brothers game 1.

Celtics appear to have remembered how to basketball the way people assumed they would to start the season.

A serious beating but fixable. Giannis just needs to pass when they collapse. I'd be more worried about their defensive performance if I was a bucks fan.

C's have the second highest ceiling in the NBA this season and after 90 games they might finally be putting it together.

Refs swallowing whistles hard in the first half ended up making Harden and CP13 look like they were playing soccer trying to draw fouls in the 2nd half. Entire game was a complete shitshow.

Wait, you're suggesting that they don't play that way every game? The Flop Brothers?

The Rockets are fucking pathetic. 81 missed calls in last year's Conference Finals, lol. Just sad.

It really goes to show that the Rockets organization is all about gaming the ref system. This is an organization-wide strategy and it's extremely lame. James Harden leads the league in FTAs and the Rockets are notorious for slowing the game down with their ability to draw fouls but it's apparently not enough? They want the NBA to become and unwatchable FT shitshow?

Should be good...

Harden bitching about refs and not getting calls is fucking classic

The Rocksts secret is out.

Everyone would just talk about analytics and Morey being some kind of savant with metrics etc., but now we are seeing the darker side of this numbers game.

They decided drawing fouls was a valuable strategy, you mix that along with a cascade of 3 point attempts and you get whatever this D'Antoni brand of basketball is.

They used to call it a run n gun offense, it's something different now.

Its called Pop n Flop.

I actually laughed out loud. That shit is perfect.

GOD I hate Harden and his game.

They need to come up with a new defense for Harden. Maybe stand sideways while guarding him and just go forward or back when he tries to do his lunge bullshit.

Hopefully this pans out to be the good move it seems.

That Portland game was fucking amazing.
