2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I told you that LeSit would have alot to say after the Nuggets game.
That laughing, joking, coffee drinking, ignoring the game cant sit well with the players forced to take the beatings.
By year 4 here it was falling apart.
Watch and see what happens there when they lose.

well-

A. Wade was starting to decline

B. Bosh became allergic to contact and became a glorified shooting guard

C. mickey wouldnt spend to bring in quality role players- and the guys he did try to bring in to entice lebron to stay- granger, mcbob and napier- were a joke.

id have jumped ship to join Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love too--- who will still be in their primes at year 4.

i dont think they are gonna lay down and die for the Cavs----- you think they "laid down and died" the previous 2 years? -- Boston plays REALLY REALLY hard and is deep. Washington has some nice high end talent (just not much else). Toronto added a couple solid defensive guys to augment their 2nd unit.

Those rosters are just not NEARLY on the same level as the Cavs those. I mean- hey- if you want to bet me that the Cavs dont make it out of the East- id gladly take you up on it--- but i think deep down you know as well as i do- no one is beating the Cavs in the East.

meh, no one on the Cavs current roster outside of your "big 3" impresses anyone...

just saying the gap isn't as wide as you'd like us to believe...

we shall see who is right here pretty soon- just a few weeks.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

hey just wondering.

if the Heat explain to the league that they are a really great team when they are fully healthy- do you the league will give them extra credit and allow them to jump a team to get the 8 seed if they happen to miss out?

Ill bet you they still make it.
2 week avi?

 

[WiggyRuss]

i think they still make it too--- only one team out of those 4 teams scrounging near the bottom of the East are gonna miss out. -plus their schedule is prttty easy- and will most likely their "tougher games" will have guys sittingoutat the endof the season.

I WANT them to make it. Im hoping this is the year we finally get the series i have wanted fora long time!!!!

though- i would laugh my ass off if they play their entire roster the 2nd last game of the season against the Heat - and that is a deciding factor i nthe Heat making/not making it.

as for resting--- you know how hard it is to get LeBron to sit out? You think its coincedence no player in the last 6 years has played more games then LeBron! why its HILARIOUS for you to call him "LeSit" when he LEADS THE LEAGUE in games played over that time span? its just so ridiculous.


I just wouldnt want to be the team that draws a healthy, rested, pissed off LeBron in round 1. LOL. mwahahahahah

You're full of shit.
They were still an elite team that just happened to catch a Spurs team that has been the best weve seen in a long time.
I said that whole season it was getting stale.
Players said it wasnt fun anymore.
You'll see.

Wasnt LeRest healthy, rested and pissed off last time the Heat played the Cavs?

LeBron had to do EVERYTHING for that team....Bosh became allergic to rebounding- Wade's "maintenance" program made/makes Kyrie Irving look like Tristan Thompson. LeBron is a basketball genius and could see the writing on the wall.

he got the hell outta Dodge before the city burned down.

is this REALLY your argument? if you are relying on a regular season game in March when the CAvs were missing Love and JR to give you hope- you have another thing coming. lol.

Please dont tell me thats what you are relying on in thinking the Heat have a chance. A March regular season game. lol. If it is- its gonna be a helluva let down for you.

 

[bksballer89]

Being 29th in defense for the last month matters especially when the playoffs is right around the corner. They're going backward instead of forward.

And Lebron doesn't have to do everything for the Cavs?

 

[WiggyRuss]

If you are LeBron- you have to see how DeMar Derozan lit up the heat like a christmas tree and just be drooling to get a full series against them. Who guards LeBron on the Heat?

Boston has Crowder who is a respectable guy to throw at him--- Otto Porter on the Wiz is far too small- but at least hes a long wing with some defensive chops....Raptors have Carroll and now Tucker (who i think was SPECIFICALLY traded for for LeBron)

if they think Rodney McGruder has a PRAYER against LeBron its gonna be a blood bath. Esp. LeBron with rest between games.

 

[WiggyRuss]

And Lebron doesn't have to do everything for the Cavs?

he was the Heats leading rebounder there. lol.....at least Tristan and Love can do the dirty work. Kyrie can do huge things offensively- and is becoming a very efficient offensive player.

absolutely LeBron does a TON for the Cavs--- but he doesnt have to do everyhting. Its why he has a CAREER high in assists this year--- he is able to play HIS game more here- especially this year.

Im not relying on anything, not even making the playoffs.
If they do, great.
If not, great.
I had no expectations starting the season.

Point is, your htalk is just that.
If you want to prove to the world that you believe in the Cavs as of today, then bet us they win it all as of today.
If you're not man enough to do that, then maybe just STFU until you are?

i have been saying it for years- if i were to pick the WORST spot to finish in the entire NBA- it would be 9th i n the East.

to weak to make the EC playoffs- but at the back end of the lotto.

Id much rather have the worst record then 9th in the East--- just my opinion of course- but its built on a lot of logic.

And Wade couldn't do huge things offensively?

Makes sense why the Cavs team go down the toilet whenever he's on the bench

how many times have i told you i think that the Warriors are more talented and should be a favorite against the Cavs- just like last year- that the Cavs def. have a chance- since they have THE KING- but i think the Warriors are heavy favorites to win it all for a reason.

the East though? hahahahahaha. Of COURSE they are getting out of the East- you know that- i know that.

Are you going to bet on the Cavs winning it all or are you too much of a bitch?

yep...

then the so-called "run of dominance" might just run outta gas. just sayin'...

stay tuned...
