2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

And why would a guy care about looking better than any female?

One's idiotic boost to their ego insinuating that men and women are judged equally on one's respective looks.

I see why Thunder fans are done with Donnovan. How do you leave all of your big 3 on the bench? As soon as he does this, OKC's offense goes to crap.

They have such a bad bench. It's common sense. Billy D need to take his ass back to CBB

 

[DorianRo]

I see why Billy Donovan is such a bad coach.

You have a shit bench but you bench your big 3 all at the same time? LMAO idiot.

Those 3 guys should never be on the bench together unless they're all in foul trouble

Well... With the way this Cavs defense looks this year, Thunder's bench could probably beat them

YEah, the whole point of having a big 3 (or 4 if you're GS) is you can always have at least one stud out there even vs the 2nd unit. GS can have 2.

Has any coach besides Larry Brown ever been able to make the leap from college to the NBA and be good?

Why would Thibs even want to go to the Cavs? The Wolves are a good young team that could realistically contend by 2019-2020. Cleveland is an older team who has no shot of beating the Warriors with their current roster no matter who coaches them and are one LeBron decision away from being in the top 3 of worst records next season.

Problem is, the big 3 are biggest ball hogging low IQ FAILURES there are.

Yeah you're an idiot

Yeah so let's play a bench who all suck. Totally makes sense.

19 point lead down to 9. Bench still didn't score a point

Cavs have all the weapons in place to get to the finals where anything can happen. Thibs has been looking for a championship for a while. Yea Wolves are young team but players job hop these days so no guarantee they will all grow together.

I understand giving Russ some time on the bench. But I'd leave PG/Melo out there and run the offense through them. Donnovan was just a master recruiter at UF. I always get skeptical on college coaches that had success at such a high level because they had a talent advantage over 90% of the teams they were going against at that level. In the NBA/NFL, you're not afforded the same luxury.

Like it makes sense to put George, Westbrook, Melo all on one team? The game isn't played with 2 basketballs unfortunately

 

[Mecca]

Billy Donovan is a shit Coach.

Why the ruck are Westbrook, George and Melo out at the same time?

So stupid.

 

[Heatles84]

Nope. And that factoid right there is why I'm a fan of Brown. He took a pedestrian 76ers team to the Finals and happened to win a game on the Lakers' home court who was arguably their most dominant title team this century. And his Finals series win with Detroit was a thing of beauty where he didn't have a bonafide super star on his team; just really good players.

They need to make a big trade to have a chance when reaching the finals, their goal is to win the title not just get to the finals.

I think one of them needs to be a bench player. They hurt themselves playing all together.

Running ISO through Melo would be a lot better than throwing the scrubs they have out there at the moment. Try harder, pumpkin.

Because their bench is smarter and can do better according to @DorianRo

 

[Mecca]

Righhhttt.. So no one has ever severed a contract ehhh???

Are you referring to Doc?

Traded or let out for compensation, not broken.

All the Current team has to do is say no to granting permission.

He can quit. But, he can't Coach elsewhere.

They won't even make it past the 2nd round at this point if this is the type of defense they are going to play. A trade won't solve it. Their defense is the worse than the 2000's Suns and thats saying something
