2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Bolts]

@Bolts ...

I'm looking forward to seeing Fox vs. Mitchell.

Me too, Mitchell has been great. Of course seeing him go off against the Kings will make me think that him AND Fox could have been starting together. Hopefully Fox does his part to make this an exciting match-up.

Well, it's not the worst contract in the NBA. That's about the highest praise I can come up with.


Noah, Batum, Gallinari, Thompson, Evan Turner, Deng...

In order of worst to first...

I'll go...

Noah, Deng, Gallo, Batum, Thompson, Turner.

Batum is higher than some because he has 3 years after this one at 24-27 mil per and putting up 10 ppg, 4 beds, 5 dimes.

No question that it's not the worst. But it's still really bad. Those things can be relative too. It may not be as bad as Deng, etc. but if it prevents the Cavs from being able to make the move they need to get them close enough to the Warriors, it may as well be the worst.

Uh, she got his ass for the next 18 years.

Kanye said it best...

18 years, 18 years

She got one of your kids, got you for 18 years
I know somebody paying child support for one of his kids
His baby mamma car and crib is bigger than his
You will see him on TV any given Sunday
Win the Superbowl and drive off in a Hyundai
She was supposed to buy your shorty TYCO with your money
She went to the doctor got lipo with your money
She walking around looking like Michael with your money
Should've got that insured got GEICO for your money, money, money
If you ain't no punk holla we want prenup
WE WANT PRENUP! Yeah
It's something that you need to have
'Cause when she leave yo ass she gon' leave with half
18 years, 18 years
And on her 18th birthday he found out it wasn't his

A Warriors v Cavs finals would be bad for the NBA

It is a horrible contract.

I'm dead fucking serious when I say : If the Clippers trade DJ for Him, I'm done.

Nah he deserves more than one simply because he is the head of the NBAPA. Gotta set better example. He gets 2 IMO

Ex-Clippers players really don't seem to like Austin Rivers all that much

 

[Mecca]

There was the time in June when Big Baby told Rivers, “Don’t say s*** to me. Your father gave you your money. You ain’t work for it, motherf***er. What type of s***? I was there. I seen you at practice. You didn’t give a f***, thinking you all that wearing them tight-ass pants. Your father gave you all that money, so you can go wear those tight-ass pants, but keep your f***ing mouth closed, man. Shut up, man. You’re a f***ing bum who’s been given the world. Shut up and just stay under your father.”

I mean, isn't it like mandatory that he fight big baby?

Apparently, Austin is arrogant as Fuck.

Has been since High School, reportedly.

Just got done watching the Lithuania game.

Lamelo has a chance to be special if he can only learn to give a Fuck.

He's only 16. So, his lackadaisical attitude is not surprising.

They both did well.

I think 'Melo could make the League but 'Gelo will probably play most of his career overseas.

Dude can get to the rim whenever he wants.

Unfortunately, he wants to shoot from Harcourt...lol

Kid needs to stop watching all those Trae Young highlights.

From their Coach......


LaMelo Ball may be the more talented of LaVar Ball’s sons, between himself and LiAngelo Ball, playing professional basketball in Lithuania. But to hear it from Virginijus Seskus, the head coach of Prienu Vytautas, the youngest Big Baller Brand ambassador is also the bigger headache.

“When I watch them in practices, they stand out, especially the little one. You can’t control that little chipmunk,” Seskus said on Lithuanian TV, via a rough translation. “You say, ‘Don’t shoot 40-footers.’ Next thing you know, he’s shooting 40-footers.

“He’s used to doing that stuff. They’re not used to training hard. You need to make them give 100 percent in practices.”

Seskus added that it’s “hard” for both brothers to play in the Lithuanian (LKL) League. But for Melo, the challenge of being a 16-year-old competing with grown men is particularly daunting.

The coach suggested that while it’s fine for the teenagers to partake in the Big Baller Brand Challenge Games, once those five scrimmages against youth squads have come and gone, “They’ll see that we’re a serious team. They will need to stop playing around.”

Here is food for thought - The dad wants all three boys on the same Lakers team at the same time.

Now let that sink in and think about what kind of show that would be.

Would like to see how they do in the actual league.

Seems like they only been playing well in the BBB challenge games which are the games with all those young HS type kids. Correct?

So only Ariza and Green are suspended. Both suspended 2 games each. No other suspensions.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Lakers might be going after Cousins.

So you're telling me that the NBA decides to suspend two role players two games a piece, but nothing for the superstars.

To be fair, Woj had tweeted since yesterday that Ariza was the aggressor and both Paul & Harden were trying to calm him down.

If those two were the only aggressive ones then I can't blame them.
