2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

He just sat there while they pissed away their lead.

If he's that out of shape at 20 he doesn't have much hope for the rest of his career to be more than a 20-25 minute a game guy.

I'm wondering if there's something more going on. He and Gentry both said it was a decision made by the medical staff.

It also, almost seemed like it caught Zion and Gentry a little by surprise.

At least I'd like to think that if they knew how limited his minutes would be...they would save at a least a couple for the end of the game.

New Jersey will be lucky to win one game the rest of the year

lol, the line is suprising me though its only 7, and orlando is the healthiest they've been all season. Plus if the nets miss the playoffs they protect their #1

Last nights clip/lakers over/under confused me too...no harrell......and none of their prior meetings eclipsed 217 and the over under was 220

yeah that was odd, for a team that needs to win games, are the preserving him? I know there was the minutes restriction stuff, but he was rolling prior to the rona'

Yeah, that's what makes me wonder if there's something else going on. This isn't a team that has a playoff spot locked up. They can't afford to give up winnable games like that one.

Well I mean it was reported before the game Zion would only be used in short bursts. The thing I would be worried about...why didn't Gentry just split up the minutes better. He was in early in the 4th while NOP were up 8 points...would 2 more minutes at the end of the game kill him? Like others have said..maybe it's something more and maybe he wasn't feeling right mid-late 4th

 

[Shanemansj13]

Pelicans’ Zion Williamson, kept to 15 minutes in bubble opener, said he hasn’t suffered any medical setbacks & added that sitting during crunch time isn’t solely due to conditioning. “It’s just getting my flow to the game back... I don’t want to hurt my team more than I helped.”

What?? LOL how would you hurt your team?

No. Gentry just can't coach

 

[dtgold88]

Yeah both are in my lineup. Lebron SHOULD play. AD is up in the air but I saw earlier he should play. I mean not a lot of options with Lou Williams, Zion and some many others out lol

As is often the case, I had all the players from the winning lineup.......just not in same lineup.

why I think (at least for large entries) this is mostly luck.

won a few bucks...how'd you do?

 

[SteelersPride]

Ok come, go on record, best bet of the day, pick one game.

Yea that seemed like a safe bet. LeBron was rusty. Foul trouble with the Clips etc..

Magic
Suns

To cover

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I'd even say tease them together

 

[dtgold88]

Yeah, I don't get that. I'm not sure they can afford to lose another game and still make the playoffs. Blew a golden opportunity right there.

was it Gentry's call?

Clarkson went to town on drives in the lane I can't imagine it could've been worse with him in.

 

[The Oldtimer]

It's not excuses. Lakers did what they had to do. Clippers played better than i thought they would.

Okay.

won a few bucks so I'll do another 4-5 entries tonight in FD (this after quitting before season). They sucked me back in giving me the $10. But I'll quit if I lose it.

as per usual last night had all the guys from the winning GPP lineup....but not in same lineup.

Same. Won the minimum $6. Stakes is rolling in the dough though...

 

[shopson67]

How many playoff games has he won?

No.

Until he leads him team to a Super Bowl victory he can’t be mentioned in the same sentence as Mahomes.

Unless you are talking fantasy football.

Teams win games, not individual players

What made you quit

 

[shopson67]

Hell, Mahomes 2nd season in he threw for 50 touchdowns. let's see Jackson do THAT...

That wasn't last year, which is the most recent impact on these rankings. Mahomes may never do that again either. Jackson threw for 10 more than Mahomes and ran for 5 more than Mahomes last year. But I guess Mahomes was going to make up for that in the 1 less game he played compared to Jackson?

 

[shopson67]

Are we still talking footbal? Come on peeps we got games getting ready to start. I got the Pelicans and the Clippers.

Double fail, although both games were very tight at the end.
