2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Heatles84]

I understand your point of view. Tebow was 8-6 in reg. season games in which he started.

But I still think he sucked at as QB.

Colin K probably is a poor NFL QB -- but at least he might be OK/average ... and he doesn't such as much as Tim T.

Yeah, they're both not that good. If Kaep was so good, he wouldn't have had to fight for a starting job with Blaine Gabbert (which he lost initially). But it's clear collusion on the NFL's part. Doesn't take a genius to figure that part out. It's just how do you prove it?

Harold. The Seahawks fan. You may have seen him on the NFL or CFB board. Solid poster but don't think he's a Kaep fan lol

I know Harold pretty well. I'd bet that was mostly tongue in cheek. But you're right, he's no Kaep fan. lol

Boogie ejected?

To be fair to Boogie, it was on a flagrant 2

 

[Heatles84]

At least you're man enough to admit he's better than almost all the backups. Had someone on a different forum here at SportsHoopla tell me in preseason that every single QB on every single roster including 3rd stringers were better than Kaep

Yeah, I strongly dislike Kaep for a lot of reasons. But I'll remain objective. I don't think he's better than most backups. I think he's better than all the backups in the NFL.

Another thing folks forget with Kaep, is that it's not just about kneeling.

He also wore socks with cops depicted as pigs, wore a Fidel Castro shirt, etc.

 

[Heatles84]

The Thunder have issues ... and their body language is really bad right now.

But I think they will end up OK ... 4th-6th seed in the West.

That's my line of thinking as well. Sort of similar to Cleveland - I knew they'd eventually get their shit together. Although it was fun seeing them flounder at the beginning of the season. Ah well, back to the Heat's mediocrity.

This. He also yelled a racial slur at a player a few years back. But I digress.

Kaep's NFL career is essentially done, so there's no need for me to beat a dead horse.

Collusion means that multiple owners got together and said let's keep him out of the NFL. Unless they are really stupid (emails!) -- that is hard to prove.

Instead ... if each NFL team just decided that it wasn't worth the hassle ... and if they acted without talking with other team -- then Colin K has no legal case. It may not sound fair -- but they aren't acting illegally.

Keep in mind that most NFL teams that could use a decent QB won't do any damage in the playoffs ... so is it worth it to bring him in just to win 1 extra game?

The improvement in Jaylen Brown from his rookie year to this year is pretty impressive

Knicks beat the Clippers by 22 in MSG tonight. Does Doc make it to 2018?

The Celtics are really good at coming through at crunch time.

The Sixers are the opposite -- they don't know how to play well in the last 5 minutes in close games (yet).

Not as bad I guess.

Kyrie is amazing. Early season MVP IMO.

 

[bksballer89]

Boston going to extend their winning streak to 17.

Dallas had them on the ropes. They were up 5 with under 2 to go

Interesting because his stats are down compared to last year. And he is not putting up crazy numbers like Harden the last 2 years and Russell last year. (and Lebron this year)

 

[mick7-1961]

Boston Celtics win their 16th in a row !!!



CELTICS RULE ! ! ! !



CELTICS IN SEVEN ! ! ! !

I think the MVP will go to either him or Harden. Both teams (unless Leonard comes back ASAP) should finish top 2 in their conference. But if Boston approach 60 wins without GH, it will be hard to deny Kyrie that MVP even if Harden put up crazy #'s and lead his Rockets to a top 2 seed out West.

I was already assuming they beat my Heat on Wednesday. My apologies
