2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

Exactly. What the Warriors are doing is so unnecessary IMO. Javale is a big boy. I don't think he needs the organization to do this to him. Also even though they mess with Javale a lot, both shaq and barkley would always say how good he's been for the Warriors this year.

I think it's much more personal this year because Javale's been on there much more excessively than he has in the past. If you look at all the moments he's been on Shaq'tin, there's only one true on that was deserved. That was when he stepped out of bounds and tried to take the ball out for the other team. But he was good with that.

Javale's had his best, most productive season in years. And still the most coverage he gets on TNT is of plays that are really questionable at best to be on Shaq'tin.

Kevin Durant needs to STFU......

Shaq had no skill...He was just bigger than everyone?

Wow......

Yeah, he over powered everyone. But, no skill?

Just...wow.

Durant part 2, asked whether it’s affected McGee’s career: “It has. It has. Shaq wants to make a joke about it. But if it was him in that position, he’d feel the same way. We wouldn’t call him a bum and all this because he’s such a great player obviously. But still, everybody can’t be Shaq. He’s trying to make his money and enjoy the game of basketball and the perception of him now is that he’s a dumb player because he makes mistakes out there on the court. Shaq was a sh**** free throw shooter, he missed dunks, he airballed free throws, he couldn’t shoot outside the paint. He was bigger than everyone, didn’t have no skill, bigger and stronger than everyone. Still a great player, but you had your flaws as a player and you played on five or six teams, too. So it’s not like he’s just some perfect center. You had your flaws, too. I didn’t know cops could go on Twitter and threaten civilians like that. I’m glad JaVale challenged him.”

KD was feeling himself, that was all.

You ever get on a roll and then can't stop yourself and go a step too far. Like you're arguing with your significant other and got em on the ropes hitting them with fact after fact, and then you slip and go one step too far, which they flip on you and changes your entire dynamic.

This is a prime example of that.

Yeah...

I actually love that he's defending his guy.

I just hate that the vitriol is about Shaq.

Magic and Shaq were so likeable that the fact that they wore the uniform of Satan was a non issue for me.

Plus....come on...is someone gonna ask the Warriors to do something about Draymond?

This just screams hypocrisy after he ethered Pierce just last night.

If you sensor jabs at the Warriors, shouldn't they have to stop too?

I agree.

He's targeted more because he's in a high profile team.

But, in fairness, he hasn't been on much over the Seasons because he hasn't played much.

Did you see how many games he's missed the last 7 years?

Yeah I saw that and didn't realize his injury history was that extensive. It's pretty crazy.

Heat only 3 pt road underdog @ Hawks.

They've earned respect in Vegas.

Eh, Shaq deserves some vitriol his way because Shaq himself spews out a lot vitriol.

Regarding Draymond, I do hate that he can't control his emotions. I feel that he cost us a championship last year. The man is so talented and in so many ways, he is a very high IQ basketball player, but for whatever reason, he can't help but get technicals and do things that harm his team.

Here's my main thing though:

Lebron complains about Barkley coverage, gets extremely personal. Barkley says he's fine with it. Everyone loves that Lebron called Barkley out.

Javale complains about Shaq's coverage on him, gets slightly personal. Shaq threatens to whoop his ass. Everyone thinks Javale is a joke.

The Hawks suspended Schroeder for this game.

You think JR is gonna cut into Waiters PT? Do you think they can play together some in smaller lineups? Waiters has been playing fantastic.

Could it be because...Chuck's a HOFer, Shaq's a HOFer, LeBron's a HOFer & Javale will only get into the HOF if he buys a ticket?

For whatever reason, Shaq has become an asshole in recent years. Maybe Kobe winning one more than him has pissed him off.

Fairly accurate.

But, the Cavs didn't call Barkley's boss to tell him to stop being mean a day after Kyrie torched Vince Carter on live television.

Damn it, can you let me have at least a few minutes of thinking I posted something worth while before you shit all over it?

LOL.

Warriors Reach Out To TNT About Shaq's Coverage Of JaVale McGee - RealGM Wiretap

bahahahahaha....this has got to be a joke right?

He's the same guy...he's always been funny.

Plus, that's his job.

Kyrie's downfall is that he thinks the Earth is flat. Fuckin' idiot!

Wait a minute, I thought the joke was Dan Gilbert?

Hell if I was 7 foot + and well over 300 pounds I'd be in a nonstop bad mood as well.
