NBA 2018-2019

Can someone explain to me what an all-star reserve is? Does that mean they'll play?
 
Davis will now see a specialist and could be out for 4 weeks. Pelicans have gone 22-27 with a loss tonight and have really no realistic shot at the playoffs anymore. I wonder if they still try to be buyers at the deadline as expected and trade their first round pick, even with protections it is still a super risky move because eventually you will probably have to convey that first rounder to somebody and it could only get better in the future if AD leaves this offseason.
 
DeMarcus Cousins is starting to look good. Tonight the Dubs had only 7 threes but 70 points in the paint. Cousins is the guy in the middle the team has been missing since Bogut and they are making the most of it. Glad to see that DeMarcus seems to be coming through his injury with flying colors.
 
You get to see giannis live. There must be nothing quite like watching giannis live. Must be like the basketball equivalent of original ronaldo, where your brain just doesn't comprehend what your eyes are seeing

I can confirm this. It was surreal seeing how much stronger and faster he was than NBA players. Let alone the measly people like me in the crowd. It made me a bit scared actually.

Yeah, they've really been missing that kind of player.
 
Jokic suspended for one game for stepping on to the courts, but when Steph Curry does it it's all good. Typical bullshit.
 
Nowitzki to participate in the Three Point Contest. That's great:lol:
 
If Doncic isn't an All-Star then it'll be a fecking joke

Specially when all he was doing is defusing the situation. Adam Silver has ruined the NBA all on many aspects

Doncic has been great but he doesn't deserve an AS spot this season IMO.

I agree regarding Jokic, it was a joke of a decision. Pun intended. Curry and another GSW player did it and of course there were no issues then. Luckily we were playing the Suns.

Won't he be too slow to finish all the racks ?

It's debatable obviously, if he was on the East, there'd be no doubt.

Most definitely:lol: He'll probably just be there for entertainment reasons, although he still has a good shot so he won't completely bomb I think.

Who are six guards from West who have been better than him? Curry, Harden and Lillard, definitely. Not sure there are another three.

Westbrook and Holiday have. DeRozan and Booker, arguably.

What is the breakdown of the teams? Will there be 6 guards for sure?

Jokić vs. Embiid should be a great match-up. Jokić with his playmaking skills, Embiid with his great physical attributes and superior defense.
 
I'm a Nuggets fan but have Embiid in my fantasy team, so I'm conflicted about him being out.

A fellow Nuggets supporter roaming around, not something you see everyday.

Letting 76ers score 37 in the first quarter without having Embiid, Butler and Chandler, is too much.
 
cesc is really just a kroenke supporter, the nuggets come with it

Haha shoot me. feck Kreonke and the moustache he rode in on.

I supported the Nuggets without realising who owned them. Once I worked it out it was too late and I was committed.

Joke's on me for supporting the two of this three teams that he doesn't care about.

I'd rather that Chandler is out there TBH, he's moved on from ill Will to corpsey Will.
 
I like Barton but I don't like how Malone wedges him in wherever he can. With Murray out it should be Morris running the point, let Barton do his thing from SF or off the bench.

Can't put him on the wing, he's not as good of a defender as Craig is, besides Burton brings that easy scoring, he's like a younger Sweet Lou/Crawford.
 
Good win tonight. Glad to see DeMarcus Cousins - that man in the middle the Dubs have been missing since Bogut do well once again.
 
Kyrie has really developed his playmaking ability this season. I heard that he only had one game of over 10 assists last season, and he now has a dozen or so this season already.
 
No Embiid really hurt the Sixers today, both the Joker and Plumlee dominated.

Joker - 32/18/10 in 33 mins
Big Plum - 17/6/4 in 22 mins

Also the all star system is a joke. The Joker has been robbed.
 
Watched the Warriors-Celtics game. An NBA game after a long time. Like both teams. Was a good game too. Kyrie was amazing. I still think the Celtics will be fine, they are having growing pains now fitting in so many talented players. But I feel like Brad Stevens is too good a coach, no?
