NBA '18/'19 Season

Discussing eastern all stars with my coworker and it's a good thing they changed the format from east and west. 

Starting five I'd go Kemba, Kyrie, Kawhi, Giannis and Embiid. I'd also accept Oladipo and Simmons in there. After that....? Blake Griffin, Beal, Lavine(??), Vucevic, Butler, John Collins(??), one of the Brooklyn guards. That's 14. 

Just crazy compared to the potential west reserves of (assuming you go Curry, Harden, Lebron, Durant, Davis as starters) Lillard, Westbrook, Jokic, Paul George, Klay, Booker, Doncic, Towns, Aldridge/DeRozan, Tobias Harris, Donovan Mitchel.

Also, do Wade and Nowitzki play one final time? 

Awesome sequence at end of the 76ers - Thunder game. 76ers down two with a few seconds left. Simmons brings ball up court and has a pretty good look at a three-pointer but instead passes to Butler next to him who's well covered. The guy loosely covering Simmons converges on Butler who puts up an awkward, double-teamed three pointer that missed at the buzzer. Simmons and his reluctance to shoot from outside is ridiculous.

Just saw the highlights and the fouls called on those last 20 seconds of 3’s just ruins everything for me. I cannot stand 250 lb world class athletes falling down on stuff that wouldn’t knock down a toddler

So Harden has scored 163 in the last 3 games. Not a single one came from and assist. I don’t know if that’s impressive or not? But it’s something.

If it were anyone else but him, very impressive. He sucks tho and is the embodiment of spamming E-Honda's slapping hand from SF2. Therefore it shows what a POS ballhog he is.

Harden only 9 free throw attempts today!

tho 2 b fair the Rockets didn’t have a game today

I have no idea what this means.

Sure is. He absolutely gets the benefit of the whistle, but he doesn’t need it. The last couple years, he’s been arguably a top 3-4 player.

fuck him

He sure as hell didn't deserve MVP last year.

Cousins looks slower than I thought he would 

Lakers just brutal without LeBron and Klay can shoot pretty good

Klay is 10/10 on 3’s and 7/7 in the 3rd...now they are guarding him hard

Oladipo had to be taken off on a stretcher after injuring his knee. Hopefully it’s not as bad as it seems.

Damn, ya hate to see it.

Apparently they covered up his knee with a towel or something. Assuming it’s blown up.

Pacers have just had brutal luck with lower leg injuries to their stars past few yrs. DAMN

Thoughts and prayers.  I really like Oladipo
