2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

Never too late. I've already seen some super scotching hot takes about trading Klay Thompson 6 games into the season. So there's that.

Klay is great, but if you could get a stud like Whiteside or similiar to clean things up then you'd be that much better.

Kemba is very talented, but he drops way down on my list because of his constant flopping.

kemba is really good....if justice winslow develops he should one day be very similar to MKG too if hes lucky.

Nobody ever tweets about thompson because he's not worth tweeting about.

Well there's the time when it was reported that he & Khloe were dating.....

Honestly, I was hoping GS would go after Whiteside during the off-season. But when KD came I knew Whiteside was out of the question.

 

[SilverFalco8]

I don't know how that team can gel with so many superstars.

Whiteside wouldn't be utilized to his full capacity with this team. Even if the Warriors did part with Klay, it doesn't make sense to bring a true low post presence because of the offense they run. You would just need a guy to play D, rebound and finish at the rim. Tyson Chandler would be a much better fit at half the cost of Whiteside, but even then there isn't any plausible way to get him, and I'm certainly not giving up Klay for him.

could ever imagine Lebron tweeting that about tristan thompson?


can we at least talk about something relevant? like how i think Dwight is playing pretty solidly and fitting in pretty well with a solid hawks team...

or how the Bobcats are looking damn good....im telling ya....you have 2 wings that can guard like MKG and Batum- and a great leader like Kemba you can do some things.

Maybe Lebron should get on TT for his FT%.

And Charlotte's not going to get out of the first round. I don't care about their 4-1 record.

75 points allowed in the first half by Indy

Have to be happy with both of your teams start to the season. Just so everyone's caught up, is there any other team that you're a fan of so we can all keep track?

K, thanks.

 

[thunderc]

Thunder a very quiet 6-1

 

[Heatles84]

Can't say I didn't see this coming.

 

[Black Adam]

Can't say I didn't see this coming.

k, THAT'S ugly...

 

[Heatles84]

Sure, you can say they have all of these pieces added to the team and chemistry is still being sorted out. But they just look bad.

I also said from the getgo that Nate McMillan was overrated as a coach. Pacers will make the playoffs. But I bet they'll be somewhere as a 6-8 seed.

I love Russ but this comment was pretty stupid considering the game he had tonight. Sounds like another case of you looking at the score and making assumptions. Russ played as bad as he did Thursday night vs Golden State. He had a pretty bad night for the most part.
