2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

i think you are learning that just because you make hay when the sun is shining doesnt mean you are the cats ass. The whole season counts. you dont get extra credit for win streaks or periods where your team is rolling and in relatively good health. They all count the same.

Whoever said they get extra credit? Stop putting words in my mouth.

All I said was over a 2 month period, the Heat were the best team in basketball which was true. They were doing just fine until Waiters went down. Before Waiters got hurt, they have won 23 of their previous 28 games.

Find me another team who went 23-5 in that same time period.

but gordon isnt comingi n and replacing some scrub ass who shouldnt be starting and is playing 16 minutes a game.

What scrub is Tyler Johnson replacing?

 

[WiggyRuss]

its not a big deal though- if you guys stillw ant the Heat to make the playoffs- it shouldnt * be a problem- Detroit has been fucking terrible losing games to the Nets and getting blown out by the awful magic.

looks like its gonna be a limp in as an 8 seed and a very quick exit.

The Heat can play with Boston especially if Waiters return. Will be a fun series vs the top seed Boston Celtics if we make the playoffs. Last night was a fun game.

and what does that get you besides absolutely nothing?

At the moment it gets us nothing. Let's see where they stand at the end of the season. Obviously if they make the playoffs then that 23-5 stretch is what got them in the playoffs.

81 pts against the Blazers D? LOL...if there is one thing this iteration fo the Lakers is great at- its tanking! lol

If the supposed tanking Lakers scored 81 pts against the Blazers D, but dropped 120 against the Cavs, what does that say right now and going forward, about the Cavs defense? Please don't give me a "cause playoffs" answer because I've watched atleast 10 years of contending Laker teams playing the flip the switch crap, and it backfired at times when they least expected it. Good luck getting another chip this year, because you guys will need it

He doesn't answer questions. Don't hold your breath

Are you going to answer his question or nah? If the tanking lakers who only scored 81 on Portland dropped 120 on the Cavs last week. What does that say about the Cavs defense?

You'll keep avoiding the question I assume. It's what you do best

you will get your answer in a few weeks. Dont you worry.

Ty Lue had an interesting quote -- said the Cavs play 17 games this month--- last year during the playoffs they played 21 games in over 2 months.

Off days, rest, and time to practice will heal all wounds. Dont you worry. A 7 game series is a lot different then some bullshit game in march for the Defending Champs--- esp. when you are playing guys that only seem to get up to play good teams like these young lakers--- while conversely the Cavs slept walked through 3 qtrs of that game until Kyrie Irving turned it up and finished you off.

Sometimes not all of the lights turn on when you've had the light switch set to off for months.

we shall see right?

I have confidence in the King and the Cavs. maybe you guys dont. we will see who is right soon enough.

 

[Black Adam]

Cavs lead in the east is dwindling...

Translation: Gone...

in a virtual tie with the Celtics right now...

Never said I didn't. I still see the Cavs in the Finals, I just said there road isn't going to be as easy as last year. Especially considering that last year your best competition in the East was Toronto, and now they're a mid-seed. Boston and Washington look to be more formidable. But the Cavs defense is significantly worst this year than last year.
