2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

Where's Waldo?


I meant Monta Ellis. At 32, he's far too young to (at the very least) not be on some team's bench providing scoring as a 6th man.

Like I said, IMO there aren't levels to making an arse out of ones self. And since when were we talking about organizations? It was my understanding we were talking about individuals - so forgive me for not including the Heat organization.

But, I'm sure if you look you will see LBJ has already made an arse of himself this season - as recently as just last week.

We just look @ things differently. LeBron giving that Knicks rookie some shit (which was dumb) isn't nearly as bad as KD & his fake social media accounts trying to defend himself.

I never said he wouldn't be a distraction. All I have said is statistically he's a better QB then some of the back ups in the league. How is that incorrect? Yesterday I listed 3 QB's that have a total of 15 career starts. Kaep has about 60.

The non Kaep crowd is using the whole distraction thing as why he's not on a roster.

If he ever ends up on a roster I'd be surprised. At this point I think he'd be more harmful than helpful, a real locker room distraction. But based on talent alone he should be a back up somewhere compared to a few journeymen that are currently on rosters.

I'll go as far and say he's better than 13-15 backup's in the League. And if the Bills really wanted to go in a different direction AND seriously try to make the playoffs......they'd sign him. Not play some scrub who threw 5 INT's in the first half vs the Chargers.

@Bulletz, did you quit tHoop?

Not only 5 picks but if I remember correctly didn't he have 4 of those picks in his 1st 8 or 9 pass attempts?

IDK.

Opposing team had more yards on those 5 INT's than he completed yards to his own team.

Damn, now that's an awful stat.

The Cavs are rounding into the form most expected them to be.

Regarding Irving.....I'm glad he decided to strike out on his own.

It's very similar to Kobe and Shaq....

Irving is showing right now he made the right decision.

Damn them with their reason and sense!

What you're not getting is that....he's a backup. It doesn't matter what his stats are. He's too much of a distraction to be on a roster as a backup. If a team signs him, it will piss off the fanbase which costs them money. Plus, with the distractions, there is also the possibility of dividing the team.

Also, with his 60 starts, we know what Kaep is, a capable backup, nothing more. The other guys don't have enough starts to know what they might be if given a chance. Additionally, what type of offense do the teams that these 3 are on run? Kaepernick is limited in what type of offense he can be effective in. If those teams don't run his type of offense, he's not only a distraction, he's a distraction who can't run the offense.

Because it's why he's not on a roster.

If you guys haven't realized it yet, Klay Thompson is honestly the most unintentionally funny/awesome guy in the NBA. 100% sure this reporter had no idea who Klay Thompson during the interview.

Producer: "So were you able to get anybody to comment on the scaffolding?"
Reporter: "Yeah, we found some guy off the street. He looked like a stoner, but he gave a solid quote. Also he was really tall."
Producer: "Wait...do you know who that is?"

I said in a previous comment he'd be too much a distraction, comment # 3444. So tell me again exactly what is it I don't understand. Like you said in this comment he'd only be a back up & nothing more. And that's exactly what I have already said. It's seems you wanna argue about things we agree upon. He'd be too much of a problem for multiple reasons for a team to sign him.

Depends on what you're talking about being a backup.

You have to admit he's was at the very least better than Scott Tolzien, Blake Bortles, Trevor Siemian, Tom Savage and Mike Glennon who all started on opening day. He may be BETTER as a backup quarterback long term, but it's splitting hairs really in calling him a backup if he's already better than some starters.

well, considering Wonder Woman was able to pull the world with her lasso(comics talking) that'd make her just about a match strength-wise with our resident Man Of Steel...

Supes has her beat on speed and defenses, though...

Agree.

It's probably my fault for expecting these folks to respect continuity.

I mean, FFS......

They made Zeus her fucking father in the movies.

* and so did that douche bag comicbook writer in 2011 *

But, Sup whoops her entire ass while choking out Aqua and swatting Cyborg like a fucking fly?

Fuck DC.....lol

Wasn't he supposed to be the top pick?

Missouri's Porter Jr. (back) likely out for season
