2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

Yes, because playing no defense is somehow going to add up to more wins. I mean we can look at last month for that stat....SMH

defense and rebounding? when's the last time THAT won a team a title...?

James Johnson ready to risk it all to defend whiteside after that dirty flagrant 2 the hawks just laid on Hassan

Waiting for Wiggy to call Whiteside a scum bag.

James Johnson's the new UD. Keep him on the Heat. That dude would fuck up anyone in the league.

 

[Black Adam]

Over his career he's only averaging 6.6....that's not great IMO. There's guards in the league that are rebounding better.

Eh, for a 3 that ain't all that bad. as you say though, it ain't gonna light the world on fire...

The 2 things people always said about Lebron was he could only with wade, sorta like Kobe with the shaq argument

No one said that. Not once have I ever seen that posted or stated anywhere.

I'm sure Whiteside did or said something to deserve it.

The Heat aren't interested in tanking.

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

The Heat aren't interested in tanking.

Neither are the Mavs.

 

[trojanfan12]

The Heat aren't interested in tanking.

Spo and the players certainly aren't.

I'll bet that behind closed doors the FO is saying "What the fuck are these idiots doing? Deepest draft class in years coming up and they decide to go on a 9 game winning streak."

i gotta say man- a great many of your basketball opinions spawn from some crazy under-current of LeBron being some Machiavellian conspiracy theory manipulator. lol.

Wade is not going to get bought out.

He isnt going to be on the Cavs- this year or next year.

The Cavs arent trading for a 4th star- and LeBron doesnt expect them to.


he wanted a backup point guard man. lol....somehow that got you to a conspiracy between Wade and LeBron to get Wade bought out and to Cleveland.....the level of paranoia has just been turned up a notch. lol.

Paranoid?
You know what Wade, James and the Cavs plans are for the rest of this season and next?
I just offered a thought and an opinion.
What actually will or will not happen is yet to be seen.

I guess if you think I'm crazy, then most would see me as normal..
See if you can figure that out

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

did i mischarecterize something?

my argument is that i dont see how joining 2 all stars that have no playoff experience is the same as joining 3 al lstars with championship experience--- thus far no one has told me how that is somehow the same.

tahts why i am legitimately asking why you think the situations are the same. I honestly have no clue how it could be and am at a total loss.

if there is a good argument as to why its the same- honest to God i am all ears.

I'll simply it for you.
Both players chose what they thought gave them the best opportunity to win now, and in the future.
LeBron made the first move, by jumping ship II.
Both times he had every right. He was a FA.
Last summer, Durant finally became a FA and made his choice.

So, reality is, situations are identical.

If Durant found a way to join a perceived more talented roster, good for him and tough shit for the other 29 fan bases and particularly James/Cavs fans.
