2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

Kings are in great shape to get that top pick. Only real competition IMO is Orlando.

Atlanta is still right there too. Teams are too closely bunched up to project right now, as a key injury/trade could change everything (11 teams within 5 wins of the bottom)

I hope with all my heart that the Suns get whatever pick allows them to draft Trae Young.

1. Because it means I get to see him live.

2. Booker and Trae could go for 50 plus every game. But, they'd still lose by 20...lol

If they get #1, they will be forced to take Ayton, who they could use.

But, Trae and Booker would be potent....on one side of the ball.

Those turnover totals would certainly be potent...

3 years in the making.

You a believer now?

STUD.

This kid is legit and nobody should be surprised if he gets ROY.

Ben does more on the court, boards, dimes...

But, he's not the Alpha.

That's Embiid.

Mitchell is carrying the Jazz.

I already was, him thrashing the Kings bad defense wasn't needed to convince me but he did it anyway. I know it's only half a season so a lot can change throughout a career, but he's been amazing so far. If Giles doesn't pan out, the Kings might be kicking themselves for not drafting a Fox/Mitchell backcourt.

Markkanen had a sick block on Curry. Curry was trying to dance around him like a little fairy and Markkanen swatted that shit right back into his face.

@Bolts

I'm disappointed but not surprised, there is 0 reason to push him this season. If he's not ready for the start of next season I'll be more worried about his future. He'll probably get the Embiid treatment when he first plays, no back to backs.

Did he get injured again? I watch a lot of Duke basketball and he was pretty healthy and got better as the season went on.

He was never healthy last year.

I don't think he was 100% at any point there, but there hasn't been any injury to set him back since going to the Kings. It's just the team being cautious with a very talented 19 year old.

I understand he wasn't at 100% from his previous ACL tear but healthy in the sense where he did not have any injuries while at Duke

I believe he missed time early in the Duke year due to recovering from knee surgury. I'm sure he was playing through some issues because he needed to get back out on the court. He has a history of knee problems from what I understand. The Kings knew this and took a calculated risk on possibly redshirting him for the year.

Just like the Warriors did with Looney. He played through his entire college year, but sat out the first season due to hip issues and surgery.

What happened to Dunn was awful.

Yeah I don't think it is a big deal. I actually thought he should have returned to Duke this year so missing this season isn't a big deal considering how young he is

 

[bksballer89]

LMAO

 

[Wishbone]

Did the Fakers win last night?

 

[CitySushi]

Took Spurs, Warriors and Jazz money line last night on a parlay. EZ money. Tonight's games are a bit riskier.

 

[Mecca]

So, LeBron and Steph are the top vote getters.

Does LeBron take Kyrie first?



Maybe his banana boat bro?

Plus, they have plenty of other projects to develop this Season.
