2018-2019 Around The NBA thread

Ok do you know where to get +/- season stats cause I did see something the other day that essentially had Jackson with one of the large - numbers so far.

Which is a sorta strike against him considering the team is actually good and winning.

Like they were 10 points worse with him on the court.

This was probably 3+ games ago though, and so early in the season it could have swung wildly by now.

I'd keep an eye on it, but I'd be surprised if he ends up being an empty-stats with bad intangibles guy in the NBA because that's like the opposite of the reputation he had as a prospect.

Kyrie is back. Damn. I was thinking last night, a team with Lebron and Kyrie on it should have won at least 3 titles. I just dont know how or why we didnt....................that double torn achilles awaits you coward.

Kevin Durant being an asswipe kept that from happening.

We had the GOATs for 3 seasons, 1st one curse, 2nd one GOAT, 3rd time Durant ate da poo poo

@Rich @Nathan S
Memphis's highest usage, and most successful lineup includes Jackson, so I wouldn't read anything into it.

Yeah, Durant is who i meant about the double torn achilles. Kelly Olynyk to.

HAving a really, really good rookie season. Only scratching the surface?

I'm honestly shocked at how good he already is offensively. He has been every bit the defensive pressence I expected, with a few kinks here and there that comes with being 19 years old, but his offensive game is so much more diverse than I thought it would be this early. I expected him to be able to develop into a floor spacer over time who would be able to attack the odd closeout here and there, but he is much more efficient in the post than I thought he'd be and he's doing stuff off the dribble he never did at Michigan State.

Again, the age is showing occassionally but man... He's looking like the best prospect in the entire class. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if he's the best player from the draft in 2-3 years time.

Wtf is up with Boston? The Knicks at home? Yikes.

It wasn’t even close either. We were blowing them out pretty much the whole game.

I have THJ on my fantasy team, so i was following. I love it.

Celtics are only 9-9 and are T-7th in the East with the Magic.

The standings are ridiculous across the board. Grizzlies 1st, Celtics 8th, wizards suck, kings look good. What a season.

Its early but watching LA, GSW & BOS all struggle has been a delight. It would be nice to see a winner out of nowhere.

It just stings a little that it could have been us with Lebron (if all other random dominoes fall).

Yeah watch, this will be the year GS falls apart, gets hit with massive injuries and we would have a legit shot at ring if Lebron and Kyrie had stayed. Weird how these things play out.
