NBA Season Thread 2018-19 - Page 30 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Nuggets got Warriors at home tomorrow? I'm liking the suns with the points tonight if Ayton plays. Any word yet? Also why did Mavs go from +3 to -1? My plays tonight for anyone who gives a ****

Wizards +1.5
Blazers -4
Nets +9
Knicks +9
Mavs +3
Heat-4

I think acknowledging what your insecure or afraid of is the ultimate sign of self-awareness and being comfortable with what you are. IMO letting it all out there is the best way to do it.

Good vid, but I didn't care for the guy's voice. Kept imagining it in Morgan Freeman's or James Earl Jones' voice, and it was so much more epic.

Pretty sure you're right...unless it's all just a false front to hide the raging insecurity deep inside?!

Ayton is probable.

Igor said he looked good at shootaround.

Has the Canz' frontcourt zag solved the league's small ball zig?

I didn’t look at that way, but this makes sense.

Just maybe not for a hype vid.

Both Heroball's and Seadood's main points about insecurity can be true. Heroball is right that by the vid talking about insecurity so much, it is demonstrating and proving the existence of the insecurity. But Seadood is right that that is perhaps the best thing to do, to acknowledge it and address it and thus move forward past it.

It's kinda like when a celebrity is a huge jerk but then goes on SNL to make fun of themself. They are acknowledging that they were in fact a huge jerk, but are willing to admit it and try to change and move forward from there. It's mainly PR, of course, but it's still a good way to address the issue.

He seems like a good coach, but I can't see his name and not think of a hunchback.

heat cranking out a decent rotation piece a year out of their D league makes their offseason strategy all the more perplexing...

What makes him so great imo is that he works his butt off to get other guys open when he doesn't have the ball. Some of that is lost when Durant is on the floor though imo.

Agree with all this, dont think he could quite be third, Peak Shaq was SO good. Top 4-6 maybe
