**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[Vincent Van Goat]

This is some of the worst basketball I’ve seen this season. Los Angeles doing what they’re supposed to though. About to be 7-2 against teams under .500. Only 4-5 vs teams above .500

Also helps that Mitchell has been out the entire secomd half

French Theo Ratliff can’t be your best player if you wanna compete.

Bron lost his waves...

I'll let @wavycrocket protect his boy

On a serious note, generally an unrealistic expectation for a 2nd year guy to be your best player on a true contender

 

[Peep Game]

Joe Ingles needs help. Just from the parts I saw, that was a rough game to watch

 

[DLF]

Jazz have played a ridiculous schedule so far. Possibly the toughest in the league

With that said their three point shooting is awful and their defense ain’t elite at the moment

Being that the suns are the only team not in contention, it’s not looking pretty. If they started to get a rhythm and made it to the playoffs I think they’d match up well with some teams and hopefully for them everything slows down

Harder than lakers?

Spurs twice
At Portland twice
Toronto
Nuggets
Rockets
Utah
Minnesota twice (with butler)

I’m going to light a candle, say a prayer and make an offering to the basketball gods for how terrible that game was...

 

[pmatic]

Lakers have won 9 of last 11 games, now 11-7 on the season.

The Kings are 2 games back of 1st. What a time.

Clippers have had a much tougher schedule than Lakers by the numbers

You gotta sort it by SOS though too

Haha yeah I caught that on 2nd glance I'm dumb lol

 

[Peep Game]

Everyone is 2 games back from first

How has Philly played 4-5 more games than everyone else??

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Haha yeah I caught that on 2nd glance I'm dumb lol

The other site I found numbers on I'm not exactly sure how they're measuring. But by comparing the two I think the top 10 is similar so yeah who knows lol

Yes but The KINGS bro the damn Kings

 

[a-friend]

If they Playoffs started today, Nuggets would wash GSW.

 

[everysingletime]

Tomorrow's game should be pretty dope....

Bulls - Timberwolves

Zach Lavine against Derrick Rose

I'll be at work... But if I work on the floor that I think I'm working at I'll have time to catch the game.

 

[noblekane]

lakers with only 10 assists as a team tonight....

 

[ill steelo]

Brook Lopez 0-12 from 3 and they lose by 2. Oof

Jazz not making the offs?

Of the teams ahead of them currently, they can only expect to outplay Dallas. Minny & Sacramento are wild cards, could go either way.

Gonna be tough. They insist on starting a traditional lineup, only have one knockdown high volume shooter from 3, and have a guy at 30% usage with a (very) streaky 3 ball & poor free throw rate.

 

[stopcappin]

lakers with only 10 assists as a team tonight....

Not cause they wasn’t passing , but because they weren’t making any damn shots lol

 

[everysingletime]

I haven't been watching a lot of Giannis.... Been peeping highlights though. Watching his highlights feels like watching a 12th grader run through middle schoolers.

 

[freeze]

Sauce money

 

[pmatic]

Call me crazy for thinking the Lakers are a half decent big man away from being really good.

Lakers have won 9 of last 11 games, now 11-7 on the season.

Coming into the season, I was much more worried about the defense than the shooting. Very encouraging trend.
