NBA 2018-2019 Season

Harden scored 163 points in the last three games. All of them were unassisted.

I hate him. He's ruining the NBA. The Lakers were guarding him with their hands behind their backs again.

He is and i hate him for it too, but he doesn't have to be. The refs are facilitating it. They don't have to make about half the calls they make in his favor. It's a joke. Like you said, you pretty much have to play with you hands behind your back.

Pippen was saying he'd get up in him and force the drive and kick- he said that because he sees guys backing off. Well they are doing that because if you get up in him, he'll goad the refs into calling a foul and now he's shooting three FTs and he becomes effectively a 100% FT shooter.

Ultimately i agree that he is almost singlehandedly ruining the NBA. Time for Silver to step up and fix the officiating.

Pretty funny back and forth tonight on Inside the NBA on TNT. After the Jazz highlights, Ernie asked the guys whether the Jazz would have one, two, or no All-Stars, with the options being Donovan and Rudy. No one thought they'd get both, so they started discussing which one of those two they would pick. Chuck kept saying he couldn't pick without seeing who else had already made the team. The rest just wanted to know if you had to pick between the two, regardless of the rest of the team, who would it be. Wouldn't just pick one "without taking a look at the list." No matter how they explained it, he had to see the list.

That was funny. Eventually caved and picked Rudy.

I'd want to replace Kemba with somebody like Malcom Brogdon, Ben Simmons or Marcus Smart, them i take the east. Gotta be able to switch and defend, and when you have irving, kemba doesnt add anything as he's just a poor man's Kyrie. .

And my work productivity will suck until this trade deadline is over. Unless AD is dealt before then.

kuzma, lonzo, zubac, kcp and a 1st get it done?

[Flystripper]

would rather keep Kuz and deal Ingram ...if possible

Pels would be stupid to deal him now. The deals will only get better once the draft lottery is set and/or the draft happens. I don't really want to see him in Boston, because I freaking hate the Celtics, but I do get a wee smile when I think about Elder Hayward languishing on a crap NO team. That franchise needs to end up in LV anyway.

i wouldn't be surprised at this point if G-time weren't a part of that deal. his value is so low right now, not sure NO would give a crap if he were included.
