2018-2019 NBA Season Thread : The One Where the Spurs Miss the Playoffs

[Andalusian girls]

Boogie is back tonight, obviously not expecting much but it'll be great to see him play again.

first basket was a dunk and he sank 3 triples, hate the Dubs but was great to see. always liked Boogie hope he comes back strong.

How'd he do defensively? LOL

[Cail]

Lonzo Ball is expected to miss four to six weeks with a Grade 3 left ankle sprain, the team announced Sunday.

[Melena]

Olay Thompson’s funk appears to be over. Tied a nba record with ten consecutive 3’s without a miss.

Victor O just went down and had to be stretchered out.

[Krandor]

Looked like a dislocated kneecap

[kisada]

aksdfasdlkfalksd that sounds awful

[Andalusian girls]

Harden averaging 52 over his last 5, scoring average now past Kobe's '06 season and only .8 off Jordan's '87 high of the post-Wilt era. hate him all you want but this is the greatest offensive season of our lifetimes.

[Krandor]

I can respect the amount of points he puts up, tho I will always hate how he gets them.

Oladipo suffered a ruptured quad tendon, same as what happened to Tony Parker recently. 9+ month rehab

[archibaldcrane]

Can't believe Harden is going to steal Giannis's MVP with this inefficient bullshit

[Deejay]

i tried to tell yall

[Krandor]

Harden going crazy in the regular season doesn't change the fact that he consistently chokes in the playoffs, which was the primary argument here against him for where he ranks in best of lists.

Until that changes, I don't see anyone thinking differently.

[Deejay]

Harden not going crazy in the playoffs doesn't change the fact that Wade's best regular seasons pale in comparison to what Harden is accomplishing

[Moss]

How much is it Harden "choking" and how much is it the refs calling things differently in the playoffs? I guess it would be too simple to enforce the rules the same way all the time...

I just find the whole playoff thing funny. I mean what if Harden happens to string together a couple good series and won a chip, will it magically make him a better player than Wade in people's minds?

I understand, champions are what affect legacy more than anything. I just think people put way too much stock into it when deciding who is the best at what they do.

For instance, I'd ALWAYS take MJ over Kobe, even if Kobe and Shaq stayed friends and possibly won 1-2 more rings.

I agree gambling is not as bad as rape.

since the point of basketball is winning yes him winning would make him a better player than if he doesn't win and continues to choke every postseason. it isn't magic. it isn't a hard concept to grasp.

i agree rings taken out of context can be overvalued, and it'd be one thing if he balled out every playoffs and just couldn't break through because of his supporting cast. you could then make the argument he did everything he could and winning is overrated because it's a team sport and he ran into the GS juggernaut twice. but he doesn't. it's been 4 years since he had a postseason where he averaged above 41%/31% splits, which are ghastly.

WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS THIS YEAR BRO

[Andalusian girls]

we shall

i think i'm the only one here besides you rooting for him, hate the flopping but otherwise kinda like his game. he's like a kid on 2K figuring out how to break the gameplay. always loved D'Antoni too would love to see him have more success.
