2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[The Derski]

The way Simmons worded that statement makes it seem like he’s been in the league 10 years and has been snubbed multiple times. Kid is a rookie who can barely shoot the ball. His time will come.

Too many players are whining this season.

As always, you have to say who you kick off the team to put him there.

Walker.

That's my only issue with it. You're a rookie. Your time will come....likely next season.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I'm starting to sip the Kool Aid.

I don't trust the Thunder or Rockets.

The Thunder keeps losing to Teams they should slaughter.

The Rockets always run out of gas in the playoffs.

But, both have shown they are unafraid of the mighty Warriors.

Should be fun out West in the Post Season.

I think this season is different with CP on the Rockets. As good as BG is, he's no Harden.

And they have added some players in Green, Johnson, and Wright.

I've been saying it all year, last year was an easy cakewalk to a title (16-1), this year they will get another but it won't be nearly so easy (16-6 perhaps?). Next year they get their last but I'm not nearly as confident and it will be the toughest one yet (16-11?)

That sounds about right.

This off-season will go a long way towards determining the Warriors reign of terror.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Rockets-Warriors in the WCF will be a 6-7 game battle royale.......winner wins it all.

Walker.

Disagree, especially with Walker being a vet and Simmons a rookie.

Listen, I love Blake.

Dude represented the first time I ever had hope that we could really be a contender.

But, yeah...

He's fools gold.

Yeah the way other teams are forming specifically to stop them (Rockets, wherever LeBron goes, etc), and with Iggy's decline (is he going to have that same role next year?) it's no lock the Ws win next year's. And then I'm still pretty sure they won't be able to keep Klay. Losing him plus the rest of the league getting better and they won't win any after.

I like him in Detroit though.

Who you want in the draft?

Dayton, Trae, Bagley or Doncic?

Would love to see Trae and Booker score 60ppg, while giving up 70...lol

But, don't they almost have to take Ayton if available?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I like him in Detroit though.

They are in cap hell and desperately need shooting.

That wasn't a normal game for Bullocks.

He showed out for the revenge tour.

Speaking of which, Midget Isiah wouldn't be a bad option.

He could open up the court for Blake and Drummond.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Simmons, 16.5ppg, 7.8rpg, 7.3apg, 1.8spg, and 0.9bpg

Walker, 22.9ppg, 5.8apg, 3.4rpg, 1.2spg, and 0.3bpg.

And Simmons team is better. And more balanced, Simmons could score more but they don't need him to.

The Lakers buy him out already?

Is Reggie Jackson done for the season?

You think it will be Klay?

The way Bell looks, I think they will deal Draymond to get off Iggy's money.

Not sure what is going on with Mccaw.

But, he isn't the Iggy/Livingston replacement I thought he would be.

If I have the first pick I would take Ayton, although a Booker-Young backcourt would be crazy. Since the Suns usually have the worst luck possible with the lottery, Young may actually be the most realistic option. I think Ayton, Bagley, and that Euro kid will be the first three off the board.

Grade 3 ankle sprain.

So, who knows.

No lock both teams make it. OKC will be hell in the playoffs

The problem with midget IT is no matter how much he helps your offense, he's so bad on D (not all his fault, he's just too short) that you don't get any better. Not if you want to be a legit playoff team. He's going to be sad when he sees his contract next year.

No, I mean this Summer.

Thomas can forget a buyout.
