2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

Yeah, I think those trades on Thursday really saved the Cav's season. Today's performance vs. Boston has been awesome. Boston's been the team of comebacks this yr. but not from 27 down with 8 1/2 minutes left in the quarter though.

He's been....aggressive..in a bad way lately.

Great block against Harrell and the Clippers though.

Never seen him do ....THAT before.

Just a matter of time before someone put hands on hime

 

[DJ Fieri]

You talked about the Cavs NOT going to the Finals before the Allstar break.

What's the difference?

Pretty big difference. 40-plus games where they looked like a complete dumpster fire.


Now, 1 good game in the first game with all the new parts....and they're fixed and going to the Finals?

Seems like a bit of premature talk.

I think the Warriors will have a hard time winning the title if they don't make changes to their bench.

Won't be a cake walk for sure.

I think OKC, Red Rox and Cavs can provided a test.

Just think that big 4 might still be too much to overcome this year.

Next year?

They are vulnerable.

True but if the road to a title (from the 2nd round on) is OKC>HOU>CLE then I can see their starters getting worn out if they need to carry the load without much help from the bench in each of those series. I think all 3 of those teams push GSW at least 6.....possibly 7

40 plus games? Did you miss them play basketball in November and most of December?

You do realize this dumpster fire started after Christmas right? More like a month where they looked like that. They were 24-9 heading into Christmas day and had won 19 of 21 before playing the Warriors on Christmas day. You do know this right?

Lmao....please stop.

Your inability to admit being wrong is ridiculous.

It's all premature.

But, you are the only one that speaks in absolutes.

LeBron is coming to the Lakers.

George is coming to the Lakers.

Cavs are not making the ECF.

Lol @ the posters saying the Lakers won't win 30-35 games.

But, nobody else can make predictions?

Both were premature, but you had to know the Cavs were gonna do something to improve their chances and they have. Beating down one of the top teams in the league without Love on the road 1 game in is impressive but doesn't lock them into the finals. It does make them the favorites in the East again(if they weren't already).

True.

Moving on.

Oh, sure it was impressive......and I already mentioned they look good.

I'll just wait before I label them the faves to rep the EC.

Both Teams won.

Lakers got a pick and flexibility.

Cavs got a boost and a shot at another Finals run.

Neither team could afford to worry about it costing them James in the off-season.

Beasley and Kanter helping me in my Knicks-Pacers bet.

I'm sure Lakers could have found another team to take Clarkson and Nance. Something tells me Cleveland wouldn't look as good if the only move they made was acquiring DJ from the Clippers.

Do you think Boston is more likely to reach the finals? Or Toronto? I'll take the team with LeBron James.

You want the Kings and say 9-10 points?

You labeled the Celtics the favs BEFORE the Season started, remember?

Something many of us gave you credit for when it looked like you were right.

Same. Boston maybe push them 6 if Hayward returns.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

True.

Moving on.

K.....me too.

But, I'm still mad you didn't take the bet...lol

Kings gonna get slammed, I don't need a bet to know that.
