2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Black Adam]

BTW, did anyone hear James comments after the game yesterday?

He was the Cavs came out 'with a physical DEPOSITION (instead of disposition)'.

But, he wrote the S.I. letter .

i used to work with a guy that'd destroy the English language every DAY like that. it was almost to the point of feeling sorry for him...

So, I heard Suns were intentionally fouling, calling TO's to get the ball back for Booker just to pad stats in a game they are getting destroyed?

What is this league coming too?
He scores 70 and has a -6.
Seriously. WTF?

case of gotta hang your hat on SOMETHING to put more butts in seats for next season...

If he scores a 'natural' 59, 61, whatever, its still the same.
Now it will just be remembered as a forced situation like Kobes last game.

Lavar Ball is demanding that the NBA hold a separate draft for Lonzo because he's that damn special.

Maybe he'll have a hour long ESPN special and announce where he wants to go?

I sure hope so.

I agree about the 70. But his 65 points came natural. The fouling in the final seconds to get him 70 was lame

Plus, Jackson has had two off court behavioral issues. Could be he its just immaturity and he grows out of it but in a loaded draft, its enough to give me pause and look elsewhere

Didn't know about the off court issues. With a team as young as the Lakers, that's enough to pass on him, imo. Yeah, it could be that he's just immature, but no point in taking a chance when you don't have to.

Last night was the first time I saw Monk other than just bits and pieces. He was impressive.

Meh, they aren't going anywhere, may as well help him make history.

Maybe for you. Everyone else just remembers that Kobe scored 60 in his last game.

Who is "everyone else"?
It was like the Globetrotters, an exhibition, or All Star game.

 

[trojanfan12]

Everyone other than you?

I'll remember that Kobe was invited to the A.S. Game his final year while averaging 17.6 ppg, 3.7 rebs, 2.8 asts.

Who cares what Booker scored?
They got their asses kicked like every other game.

I've never seen a team lose , then post a group pic all laughing and smiling with a player holding a 60 sign.

I'd have been impressed if he did it in a wheelchair.

It was a 70 sign.

I just want to know how the Suns pulled this off.

The Lakers had Clarkson go off for 35 and they won.

Booker scores twice that many and the Suns still lose?

Well, Kobe was good, but he's no Paul Pierce.
