2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

Well stop jinxing the Celtics, thank you. Change that Celtics logo to another Warriors logo. Give 'em the double jinx!

Done.

I only put the Celtics up because @shopson67 requested it.

Well that was incredibly rude on his part.

 

[Mecca]

Just don't get the crying about trash talk though. They had more reason to complain about Murray antics from the 1st game in Denver than trash talking last night. Trash talking is a part of the sport

Yeah, nobody trolls as much as Embiid.

....and everyone seems to like it when he does it, which is often.

Embiid's okay but Tristan Thompson is better.

 

[Mecca]

Well that was incredibly rude on his part.

.....Shit....I forgot to add the Celtics to the young talent list.

It's easy to forget Brown, Tatum, Smart, Rozier, Semi are all still on their rookie deals.

...another thing about Denver....

What if they would have kept Donovan Mitchell instead of trading him for Lyles?

Holly Hell....lol

What a trash schedule tonight. If my Heat were not playing, the only game I would watch would be the Spurs/Thunder

Yeah the Celtics are very young. Hopefully this core of players can win a championship. If they don't it will obviously be Kyrie's fault. Speaking of asshole from dook did you see what Grayson Allen did last night?

Brunson deserves more love.....that kid will be a baller in the NBA. Not a star, but a good player for a long time.

Agree.

He lived in Charlottesville for awhile while his Dad was working at UVA. He Came to weekly skill development workouts that I used to help with. Brunson was in like 6th grade at the time. He was about 4 foot 8 and absolutely killing kids 2 years older and much bigger.

I always knew he would be a good player, but he has a chance to end up being better than his dad.

Embiid is at least funny. In the post game interviews that I saw, none of the Lakers wouldn't say what was said and most gave some version of "move on" as their answer.

Luke seemed pretty annoyed after the game and called whatever it was "disrespectful."

There's always trash talking during games, but there are lines that aren't supposed to be crossed. Sounds like one may have been.

Yeah, like the Garnett, Melo honey nut cheerio taunt....

Wife, Kids, Family.....that should be out of bounds.

But!!!!!!

What if it was about Lavar who intersects himself into the conversation?

I'd be interested to see what was said.

If it's just general nonsense or way over the line.

Yup....

I would love to get him late in the first, early in the second round.

I actually think he will go higher after workouts than the 48th pick they have him slotted at on draft boards.

Yep everything else is fair game

Going to watch a wrinkle in time and game night at the drive in.

Smfh.....

What team do you think will roll the dice and take him at the end of the first round?

Weekend Hot Clicks: Grayson Allen is at it again

Better than his dad isn't saying much, he was a career journeyman.

Embiid has all the makings of being a douche-bag. And some player (a seasoned veteran) might put him in his place.

That was nothing. It wasn't a trip, just a silly foul on his end. I've seen guys stick their ass so many times in basketball. People making it too much of a big deal. In the NBA that is just a common foul.

I would gladly draft him late 1st/early 2nd if I need a guard

Yeah, I'd be interested in knowing too. Luke is usually petty stoic in post game interviews. But when he was asked about it, he seemed pretty bothered.

Based on that, I'm guessing a line was crossed. But I doubt we'll ever know for sure.

Even if it was about Lavar, Lonzo isn't Lavar and it's not like Lavar can't be found. Go at him on twitter and leave Lonzo out of it. Guaranteed Lavar will respond himself. lol

Errands done and it's raining......ain't leaving the house (unless it's for yum, food) until breakfast Sunday with a sweetie.

Uh....he's a pretty big douche.

So, good luck with that.

Kid is a fricking stud.
