NBA Season 2018/19

[j959]

Monty Williams just signed with Phoenix for 5 years

Looking like Ty Lue and Lebron are going to be reuniting too - Lakers tipped to sign on Lue as new head coach

as a long-suffering Suns fan, i'm not quite sure how to take this …

do we think GSW still faves for the title??

Should take out the West

Rockets won game 3, but Klay and especially Steph were well below their usual selves (Steph misses were super rare, had a mare) and it still had to go to OT, so I expect GSW to win this series, and the winner of Port/Den has no real chance of beating them IMO

East is a lot more interesting at this stage I think. Can make a case for any of the 4 teams left beating the other/s, and pushing GSW

Uh...Stef hasn't shown up for this series, nor has he ever really shown up for a final series...

I think Monty's a great coach and I'm a bit annoyed you guys got him :(

While the Bucks playing like this is an extremely scary prospect for whoever meets them in the ECF, hopefully the Raps, I love seeing the Celtics get beat down like that, beautiful.

The Celtics bench is genuinely crap. Sad that Hayward never recovered properly but kinda not that sad because flower the Celtics.

Horrible first half by the Sixers

Jimmy needs help

Tobias has been ok.

JJ just done nothing and JoHo is clearly not healthy. They probably should just sit JoJo, i dont think he should have even played.

[LaHug]

I'm not watching so can only see the stats but Jimmy's shooting 5-14 right now which is piss poor. I wouldn't say he needs help so much as the Big 4 are all crap today.

He was their only player in the first half who was actually going well - I'm sure his stats were better than that earlier

They're getting smashed now, they've all been poor

A big what-if is Hayward never going down with that gruesome ankle injury - it probably isn't talked enough when it comes to what has plagued the Celtics this year. Kyrie is never going to be the standout guy on a championship team, Hayward was the perfect 1B and the reason we gave him a max deal. Unfortunately we haven't been able to see 16-17 Hayward, who would have been beautiful in Stevens' system.

At this point, I'm happy for Kyrie to walk this off-season if we can't land AD. Seems to do more harm than good.

I was watching "First Take" last night on ESPN and they actually discussed this too - the whole Hayward saga, Kyrie etc and they basically echoed what you've just said

As for Kyrie, I would think he probably leaves, but I don't think you'll land KD either so not sure what Boston does but will be interested to see how it all plays out

[RaisyDaisy]

Just saw, bookies have Kyrie landing in NY

Nets favs, then Knicks, then staying at Boston was third

Curious as to why they have Nets above Knicks. I was under the impression he'd want to pair up with a star again after this debacle and KD + Kyrie to NYK is a real possibility.

NBA announced combine list. Most notable names missing (Rui Hachimura) he declined the invite likely a top 5 pick and will play for Japan in the World Cup. Ethan Happ the next one, finished college with 2130 points, 1217 rebounds, 423 assist. I assume no invite due to his range being 15 foot max from the hoop. Last one is Tyus Battle was late first rounder on mocks last year he decided to return and did next to nothing to help his stock. Under new rules it wouldn’t surprise me if he kept his name in the draft though

So the NBA Combine isn’t a joke under the new rules that are finally in place
