It is the years 2018-19 in the National Basketball Association (NBA) - The Regular Season

first round preview

this is weird

The Dallas Mavericks are escalating discussions to find a trade for point guard Dennis Smith Jr., league sources tell ESPN. Phoenix and Orlando have engaged in ongoing talks with Mavs. Smith Jr., has sat out three straight games with what team has termed a sore back.

another good game from the celtics tonight

uhhh harden has 36 at the half

ainge not trading Rozier at his peak last year was a dumb move it seems.

weve been over this he is his son

....they needed a backup point guard for this year

weve been over this he is his son

forgot

eh they've got guys who can dribble pass shoot and such xp

family is the most important thing

i am so incredibly fatigued of people (mostly places other than here tbf) suggesting that the front office should have anticipated that all the players that played well would start to play badly.

def a fair point

teams shd hire clairvoyants

yeah sorry. wasnt he kind of giving signs last season that he wanted a bigger role elsewhere? might be remembering wrongly.

yeah there were definitely ppl who said they should have traded him earlier

of course he wants a bigger role. the best way to do that would have been to play well in a defined role this year and get paid somewhere else next year.

they were trying to get to the finals this year. moving out talent never made any sense.

like, looking for shots and playing like trash isn't going to help him get paid but he hasn't been able to figure that out

I can't decide if austin rivers is really bad or just bad

ha found myself wondering the same, truly one of the important questions

like the numbers pretty unanimously iirc agree he's one of the worst rotation players to ever have a long career but then sometimes he does stuff out there

harden is going to need to avg like 50-12-12 over the next month. so like marginally more than what he's been doing m/l

to me he's just bad which is actually better because he's going to keep getting jobs for the next 8 years or so

watching him try to do houston type stuff is low key hilarious

harden otoh I am pretty sure is really really good

he seems good yeah

spurs low key playing terrible the last two games. they really miss rudy gay and demar is in a slump.

celtics have mastered the pretend comeback this year where u cut a 20pt deficit to 7 and then time runs out

that was also against the nets who would be delighted to give up a 20-pt lead in the 4th most of the time

this man is a fn lunatic

a true hoister 2 for 1

step back 35footer...............

the grizzlies came back down to earth huh

yeah i didnt think that roster could sustain its start (nor pelicans), clippers are holding on tho

pelicans are better than their record shows imo

dubs v nugs tomorrow night btw

sometimes i think harden is a troll other times i think he might be kinda stoned?

¿por que no los dos?

lowe cosigning the dennis smith chatter

Few names as hot as Smith right now on the trade market. Tons of buzz. https://t.co/ePFY2siI0O

i haven't watched enough of him to have an opinion, i guess i admire the proactiveness but the assets coming back are really important

I honestly feel bad for anyone who has to guard harden

i liked dennis smith a lot in college & still believe in his talent but he seems immature

harden is now up to 34.8 points per game

I mean if capela and paul are out a while...he could challenge jordan right?

the 32 ppg club (since merger)

Probably xp

Forgot about that tmac season where he was way efficient from 3

i welcome this, and the resultant "harden is gassed in the playoffs" content

He really needs a signature playoff run

lmao grayson allen just blocked the shit out of stanley johnson, if you were in on stanley before tonite well let me tell you it's not looking great

graeyson alien

dubs/nuggs starting now
