2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[DJ]

Watching Bama and Kentucky.....let's go Tide......took them plus points and the over.

Sling whatever you want but I know you have all missed me and my shenanigans.

Better than his dad isn't saying much, he was a career journeyman.

Yeah,

But when your dad plays double digit seasons in the NBA, being better than him is a serious accomplishment. Journeymen or not.

 

[DJ]

Uh....he's a pretty big douche.

So, good luck with that.

Kid is a fricking stud.

He might be big but doesn't strike me as a tough guy. The bigger they are the harder they fall.

 

[Mecca]

That was nothing. It wasn't a trip, just a silly foul on his end. I've seen guys stick their ass so many times in basketball. People making it too much of a big deal. In the NBA that is just a common foul.

I would gladly draft him late 1st/early 2nd if I need a guard

Not me.

He is a petulant child.

We don't have any empty spots in our clown car.

 

[DJ]

Plenty of smaller crazy fucks in this League that could take him out IMO.

I'm ok with being chippy. Just don't be dirty. Tripping is dirty. That last night was chippy and stupid.

He needs to go to the right franchise though with vets. Going to a roster full of young kids like himself won't be good.

I mean, Whiteside is a pretty big guy too and has taken the brunt of Embiid's trolling.

Drummond too.

They haven't paid hands on him yet.

Well, Whiteside seemed tempted last game....lol

My point is, that's not the NBA world we live in anymore.

...unless you are Bibby Portis.

Embiid has all the makings of being a douche-bag. And some player (a seasoned veteran) might put him in his place.

Meh, depends on how far he takes it. He keeps being funny, he'll be fine and folks will consider him a "personality" or "colorful."

But that can be a pretty easy line to cross if he doesn't know when to stop. If he crosses it, then yeah, I expect a veteran will put him in check.

 

[DJ]

He only played 9 seasons.

And 3.2ppg and 2.6apg is not hard to eclipse.

My fear is the Warriors will take him.

That would be just.....swell.

 

[tlance]

Yup....

I would love to get him late in the first, early in the second round.

I actually think he will go higher after workouts than the 48th pick they have him slotted at on draft boards.

You never know.....

Teams seem to be allergic to drafting upperclassmen these days. There is a chance he falls that far.

I think like Brogdon though, he should be a quality NBA role player.

Crazy is as crazy does.

 

[Wamu]

Smfh.....

What team do you think will roll the dice and take him at the end of the first round?

Weekend Hot Clicks: Grayson Allen is at it again

Probably. But I think it'll be in the middle of the 2nd round.

 

[trojanfan12]

Hell, I think just about everyone on this board would be thrilled to be an NBA journeyman for double digit years.

Collin Sexton, Knox, Shai, Diallo will all likely be 1st rounders this Summer.

I'd kill for either of the first 3.

Cmon man.

Please also realize that I knew him as a 4 foot nothing 10 year old. Not the polished collegiate all American you see now.

Also, just being on an NBA roster for 9 seasons is a serious accomplishment. I don't care what the stats were. I have played against Rick Brunson in pick up games and I can assure you that he is really damn good.

Bingo. Being in the NFL, NBA, MLB, or NHL for that long is a heck of an accomplishment. There's so many people who life long goal is to make it to one of those 4 sports and don't make it, so to make it that long even if it was a role player/journeymen is freaking amazing. Making it to the NBA isn't easy

 

[DJ]

Thanks for proving my point.

Chris Broussard is a baller too apparently. Probably wishes he had made it to the League. Friend that works at Yahoo has played against him.....
