2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

Irving with double digit assits tonight....only time all month he had double digist assists...he did it 5 times in December....

They play their best when Irving is playing like that.....he is finally getting back there....he has been getting his rhythm back and finally looked like the guy who was freaking unreal in December. Lets hope it continues.

just saw a stat on ESPN that said the Cavs are 16-0 in the last 16 games Kyrie has had dbl. digit assists.

thats right....my bad...i know he passed up top 10 all time earlier in the season and was possibly getting to 8th before the end...for some reason i didnt think it was possible till nearly the end of the season.....

683 points from Shaq.....is that possible before the end of the season?

It will depend on how many games he plays the rest of the season. But there seems to be enough time left for him to pass Shaq if he plays in enough games.

disclaimer: I got cottonmouth right now & might have messed up the math on that. If I did, don't yell @ me anyone!

SPURS have had more issues with below ..500 teams than the good teams

strange progression

6 losses to losing teams: Orlando, Dallas, Phoenix, New Orleans, Milwaukee, Chicago
1 loss to GSW, Houston, Toronto, Boston, Cleveland combined

Been trying to tell everyone before the season that the Clips have no chance against the Dubs. Sans Cleveland, the only other team with a shot is the Spurs. And that one is doubtful as well.

It feels that way the way the regular season is going, but the playoffs really are different. The Warriors have some ungodly streak of never losing back to back games in the regular season. Last year's playoffs it happened multiple times.

Warriors are the favorite but the Spurs and Cavs both have very good chances vs them.

If I had a vote I'd vote for Tristan Thompson!

Please. It's Patrick McCaw. Learn something about the game before you post.

 

[msgkings322]

Proof Mike D'Antoni is a totally awesome coach!

You were being sarcastic but let's be honest, he's a good coach for the way the game is played now. The Warriors basically took his Phoenix offense and added more 3 pointers and some defense. He's all offense but his style is taking over the league.

Still won't win a title.

Lue said LeBron and Kryie are playing tonight in Dallas.

I'll be there.

He's lying to you. Don't waste your money

@gordontrue

How much were the tickets and how good are your seats?

 

[bksballer89]

Hey @Mecca just realized your Clippers are hosting the Dubs on Thursday. I'm thinking they only lose by 30

 

[bksballer89]

This was one of my favorite plays of the year. Absolutely sick.

Pretty good seats, first row of a floor section (but I think there are a few rows of chairs in front of the section). Its at the corner baseline, though. I haven't been to a game at AAC yet, so I'm not sure how good these seats are, but in theory they're pretty good.

I decided to gamble and bought them yesterday morning... the prices were dropping cause most people probably thought Cavs would be resting guys. I got a good deal, $70 a piece... the prices have gone back up this morning.

Amazing price. Guess that's the good thing about not living in NYC lol. Even though the Nets are a shit team, you're still paying good money for floor section seats vs the defending champs.

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised. I used to live in Phoenix, and you couldn't get anywhere near that close for that price no matter who the Suns were playing. Suns were just coming off their long run as a consistently great team, back then, though.

Stubhub or the NBA ticket site?

Nets tickets are usually cheap unless they're playing a great team. Much cheaper than seeing the Knicks (even when the Nets were making the playoffs a few years ago). Have not gone to a Knicks game since the Nets moved to brooklyn. Much shorter commute & also cheaper tickets.

nice...

that should be a win you would hope.....they are a shit team- losing to them would be pretty humiliating.....especially after the Cavs looked pretty damn good last night.

They put Kyrie in that 1-5 pick and roll a lot more with Tristn and that really seemed to work well. I hope they stay with that. Kyrie got some really good assists- Tristan got some nice baskets and broke up thedefense in the middle....and it kept him involved on the defensive end.

Tristans PnR defense on Westbrook was pretty great. Its one of the things that makes him so valuable.

overall the bench still didnt play great- Korver still looks lost in the system- but to get a good win vs. OKC like that hopefully shows they are starting to put it back together.

some of Irving's moves were just disgusting.

I'm guessing you haven't watched the Mavs recently.
