NBA Season 2018 - 2019

I watch a lot of Doncic and its rare that he doesn't look like the best player on the court.  Insane that he's only 19 y/o.

I have known this for 2-3 years.
It was mind-boggling to me that he wasn't  1, 2 or 3 (Atlanta) pick in the draft.
GMs can tear their diplomas up, as they are apparently worthless.
I always felt like Lukas contribution would translate seamlessly.
So much experience, skill, size, and pedigree, without injury history in one man can't fail.

The NBA has granted the Milwaukee Bucks relief of Mirza Teletovic’s contract due to career-ending injury, removing $10.5 million on salary books.

Watching the Memphis game, they just interviewed Vitaly Potapenko... didn’t know he’s an asst coach for Grizz...

Already seen Van Exel and Stackhouse interviewed this year lol

The only time the NBA hasn't granted this kind of relief is when Reggie Lewis died. He stay on the Celtics books the entire length of his contract.

He finished this game with his best line: 32/5/4/4/3.

He has 14 in the first qtr vs. GS right now. 

You can see him getting better with each game. We need to poach this magical human being.

anyone watching this suns/wiz game? currently triple OT

Looks like the Bucks expended most of their energy against us last night.  I've only watched the end of the game, but the box score indicates that the Bucks put up a clunker against the Heat, shooting just 37% on their back to back.

Hopefully the Heat stay move and stay ahead of the Kings. Their jerseys are horrible though.

Tight, gritty game between Utah and OKC.  Feels like they are back in the playoffs.  Donovan Mitchell is at the line with 1 sec left, down 2....

edit: OKC pulled it out.  Second straight 40+ point game for George.

[tarheelsxxiii]

26/12/8 (85% FG) for Simmons vs. Kawhi-less Toronto.  In the past five, he's averaging 19 pts, 10 rbs, 8.5 assts on 62% shooting. 

Unrelated, the Celtics could benefit from having a guy like Monte Morris.  He is a good shooter, smart, clutch, and consistent, with the lowest ast/TO ratio in the league.  Normally a PG, but plays alongside Murray to close most games.

I found it baffling that raptors played Leonard last night against the cavs then sat him in a tougher game today. I would lose my mind if Stevens did this with seeding at stake

George is having an awesome season this year. If he keeps it up it’ll be his best

I guess he hasn't played both halves of a b2b yet this year.  Apparently he was deemed "ready" for that after this loss.

I'll say that among the top contenders in the east - Bos, Tor, Phi - Toronto would be the one to sink the hardest with a serious injury.  They're so reliant on Kawhi, while Boston or Philly could probably withstand a big injury in the playoffs.

I doubt that. Maybe that Boston could live without Irving, but can you imagine Milwaukee without Antetokounmpo or Philadelphia without Embiid? In that case I absolutely take Toronto without Leonard.

Agreed. Milwaukee without Giannis is not frightening at all, as they basically just become a pure shooting team.

So there’s hope for Hayward
