NBA Season Thread 2018-19 - Page 17 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Showed up at work today and my coworker was CONVINCED that the Suns are playoffing. I didn't watch last night, but considering Phoenix, you know, has to beat 8 other teams in the stacked West and won 21 games last year, that seemed absurd. I offered him a 5-1 "make playoffs" bet and he snapped.

On a scale of 1 to free, how free is this money?

I'm the biggest suns homer here, they ain't making the playoffs, west too good.

Can't believe the Wolves traded 21 year old Zach Lavine who was already super dope

Bulls need a new coach, he's just letting Holiday & Lavine just chuck up bad shot after shot with little ball movement. I don't even think they have given Wendel the ball once on offense, smh.

I know it's the Bulls but Simmons is actually playing like it's the YMCA or something. He's getting everywhere he wants to.

Simmons is by far the 76ers best player, dude just makes the game looks so easy, if he had a jumpshot he'd be basically Lebron.

Just saw a stat he's never made a 3. How is that possible?

Fultz makes a pull-up 3 and the next possession is 3 steps back from the line and does a pump-fake. Love it.

And even though he isn't making those pull-up jumpers, he's getting clean shots off. I remain optimistic.

He doesn't take bad shots is why, that's what i love about his game, he actually tries his best to make the right play and gets his teammates involved.
