2015 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Mexi]

He's essentially the same player he has always been, just getting more minutes?

he only had limited minutes last year because he was coming off injury

 

[Mexi]

You guys are letting logic get in the way of a rare occasion where Mexi is right. How dare you....

youd be talkin if the roles were reversed
All of you would be making fun of me if i said mike malone isn't the type of coach for breakout players

 

[Mexi]

If you must have material, ill give you guys this one

Only injuries will stop okc from winning it all
Team has no weaknesses

This was 100% serious

There are currently 400ish players in this league that would have "breakout seasons" if they averaged a career high in minutes.

The guy isn't any better than he's ever been, and if it's his best season he's ever had it's only marginally, barely noticeable. How in the world is that a breakout season? It's like the people who said Anthony Davis had a breakout season last year after averaging 21 and 10 his second season in the league, it's just idiotic.

 

[Mexi]

His minutes haven't drastically shot up
He was averaging close to this in new york(more before the melo,trade) and its only 1-2 more than his previous denver years

to me, breakout is becoming more of a household name

Last year seemed to be curry's breakout even tho he averaged 24 a game the year before

Gallinari has been more vocal, definitely more confident. Hes more of a rock this year than hes ever been.

 

[Mexi]

But its not about gallo
Its just about you saying malone isnt the type of coach where we see guys have breakout seasons

When we see gallo and even barton havinf nice years

Jokic is breaking out lately. But this conversation doesnt include him as hes a rookie. I just wanted to mention him

DEA injuries?

 

[Hurricane Season]

Would they even have a starting 5 if all of those guys are out?

 

[buzzy]

Johnson, Richardson, Winslow, Bosh, Amare?
 
no idea

 

[Hurricane Season]

I would be okay with that. 
 
In fact, I'd like to see it.

There's an article on ESPN claiming the Clippers and Cavs should swap Chris Paul and Kyrie Irving like this is a game of 2K or something haha

 

[Pugz]

they probably did it on 2k and figured they should write an article about it

 

[buzzy]

The league needs more blockbuster trades. There hasn't been a superstar traded since the first CP3 trade. Or Melo, whichever came first.

 

[buzzy]

Alright, maybe you could count Love

booooooooogggiiiiieeeee

 

[cruzg24]

Remember Dwight to the lakers, Bynum to the 76ers in 2012

 

[Mexi]

I could see Marc traded after they lose Conley and begin a rebuild
No guarantee obviously

But thats the only way we could think about stars being traded. Have to just guess who will rebuild first

Melo, George, Lowry are possible too(pg and kyle not for another few years)
Derrick Rose in the off-season perhaps
