2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

Plus- dont you remember? According to my opinion the real NBA started in 1980

Even then, the Lakers have 10 rings to the Cavs 1.

 

[Black Adam]

All of these werdz and still nothing about the Cavs defense.

Hey @Mecca, you got Wiggy's personal gif ready? lol

yep, the mighty Lakers dropped 120 on the Queen and his court, but it's of no concern...

Its petty but i bet ray don't give a fuck. If you're still mad at him at going to Miami then i guess you guys were never really friends. That's all it comes down to

Yep. Also, I'd be pretty pissed that Avery Bradley got to take a chunk of my playing time as well. But you hit the nail on the head, Ray's living life pretty well down in Miami and has one more ring than those other guys. The decision seemed to have worked out pretty well. Meanwhile everywhere Rondo has gone, he's burned bridges.

think everyone realizes Rondo's a dick, though...

guess he better be glad 2008 happened...

you can say that again!!

LeBron and Kyrie getting rest for the long REAL NBA season to come. Cavs are defending champs. Inside track on the 1 seed. Love came back from his injury almost 2 week early and has looked great since he has been back.

Cavs have added Deron Williams, Kyle Korver, Derrick Williams since last year and are only missing Mozgov and Delly from last years team.

and of course THE KING of the NBA is having another spectacular season for the Defending Champion Cleveland Cavaliers.

to quote Dan Gilbert's son, Nick, whats not to like? lol......

watching Kyrie Irving shred defenses like tha it s amazing.

 

[trojanfan12]

no- i think you are right....they should have played a guy that had to be pulled out of a game in the 4th quarter on Thursday night on Saturday night. I mean- its way more important that he played in that game on a Saturay night in March, then got rest and gave his knee an extra day to heal. I mean- its not like he benefited from that rest with a big game or anything. I mean- why give a guy with a history of knee problems an off day? I think me and you know a lot more than the Cavs medical staff know about Kyrie's knee.

Yes, they should have. If you're going to rest your big 3, you do it against a team that you can beat without them. Not against a playoff team in a nationally televised game. Or, you rest them both games.

The Cavs come off looking like cowards. The fact that you try to defend that bullshit just shows what we already know...you are completely incapable of even a shred of objectivity when it comes to the Cavs.

and Durantj ust had to deal with some cupcake chants....lol...he got off easy if LeBrons return home is any comparison.....i couldnt imagine if the OKC return shook him- what he would have done if he had to dealw ith what LeBron got....he wouldve been in the corner of the visitors locker room sucking his thumb in rocking back and forth. lol.

I gotta say...Cavs fans made Lebron wear it when he returned. I saw that game and was about half convinced they were going to have to clear the arena so the game could be played safely. lol

Dammit dude I keep telling you that their '85, '87 & '10 titles don't really count!

 

[trojanfan12]

the last things young teams usually learn how to do is close......when you are going up against 2 of the NBAs premier closers---- even with a double digit lead in your home court in the 4th--- no lead is safe.

i saw ingram trying to guard lebron down the stretch....that wasnt gonna work well- ingram has to be giving like 60 lbs. there.

Yeah, if they can learn that, they could be alright going forward. Hopefully, they learned a few things watching how the Cavs operated down the stretch. If I'm Luke, I'm having them watch those last 5 minutes and pointing out all of the differences. It was textbook.

Agree about Ingram. He did a good job as far as positioning, but he just doesn't have the ass yet to stay with Lebron. There was one drive I remember where Lebron basically straight armed him and Ingram went flying. The kid was game, but he just doesn't have the size and strength yet.

The commentators were saying it should have been an offensive foul. I didn't think so. I thought it was just a much bigger, stronger guy bumping a smaller guy and the smaller guy lost.

I got to quit drinking so much on Sundays, makes Monday's a lot less tolerable.

I'm about to drink a few liters of coffee

...So Irving isn't the only idiot that thinks the Earth is flat. Shaq agrees w/ him.

@bksballer89

Kerr pretty much denies the report. Says the Thunder are a first class organization and that he doesn't believe anyone in the Warriors organization would have said that. Kerr's usually pretty forth-coming on his opinions, so I tend to give it a bit more weight.

Not that I care or anything but than Pop and the Spurs are cowards, bc they have done it for years and on nationally televised games as well. They have championships though, so I doubt they look back at one meaningless regular season game. The coward thing is just your opinion, that's fine but then Pop is a coward as well.

I couldn't understand why they rested on a Saturday night prime time game. So were they trying to be fresh to play the Lakers?? Mind boggling.

I'm pretty sure a few of his team mates also agree with him.

 

[Wamu]

I really don't understand why anyone has an issue w/ LeBron sitting out games during the regular season but it's okay if other superstars do the same thing. Although from now on I'm gonna be totally pissed off @ him or any other superstar that sits out games. Those overpaid fuckers should play all 82 game dammit!

What other superstars are you speaking of?
