2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

That Bucks/Hornets trade would be a good 1 for both teams IMO.

i was just posting Korver's comment-

but in the grand scheme of things- last year LeBron undermined his coach at every opportunity he had- called out Kevin Love, etc.....and they won the title.

this is a mentally very strong team- LeBron complaining bout the team missing a backup point guard just does not seem to be big shit- especially when there WAS actual big shit last year and it was actually POSITIVE, instead of a negative effect.

you could make the argument that LeBrons comments will have an overall positive effect as opposed to a negative effect if you really wanted to based on how the team has responded in the past- if you really wanted to...just saying.

i dont know how they keep screwing this up.

go hire some underling Ivy league MBA's from other teams that know what they are doing and will work 80 hours a week and put them in charge like a decent organization does- not like the Knicks or like the Lakers are- acting like celebrity or hiring your son is a good basis for hiring front office personnel.

if he is a "consultant"-- okay....thats cool...if he is an actual decision maker- run for the hills.

Translation :

im just saying- at this time last year they fired their coach after LeBron undermined him at every turn.

I just dont see how LeBron complaining about the 10th/11th spot on the roster - a backup pg- is that big a deal. but, whatever.

Maybe, maybe not, you were in first place and still would have made the Finals with Blatt.

Must mean Jimmy short is cooked.

Magic has made several inflammatory statements about Jimbo.

Can't see how they can work together without making amends.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

if you can have a caveat on it that when the Cavs get to the Finals they are healthy- sure.

I'm giving you 29 teams.
Now you want guaranteed health for one of them?

You get them all.
The healthy will survive.

What if Warriors aren't healthy?
Its tough shit for me.

You really are crazy. My whole point is you're claiming I said stuff that's simply untrue. And for the last time find some proof to back your lies up or just give it a rest. Damn.

Also why do you keep insisting that that I'm calling others out about LeBron when it's only been 1 person that I've done that to?

This topic is old & boring. You refuse to post anything to back your claims up & insist I'm calling everyone out. You have convinced yourself I have done that. And we already know you're lying & can't find proof to back your claims up.

Just more crap. I don't have to go back & post anything from you just because that's what YOU want me to do. So you might as well get over that. That's just not something I don't do- regardless of your opinion. If you want proof then go back through the few pages from today & re-read your posts to @TurnUpTheHeat.

I agree that it's old & boring- which was my point in my quote to turnup- that you decided to quote & respond to. So now that we agree can we expect that you're done crying & have moved on?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

That's probably true, I'm guessing that's why most people that are born there never leave, the local government and sports stars have convinced them it's actually a decent place to live.

Thank God I ran at the first opportunity.

I'm still waiting for my negative LeBron posts this season.
In reality, its been the opposite.

....not even then as currently constructed.

Dude, honestly.....

Even with the pace slowing down in the playoffs, do you really believe the Cavs have a realistic shot?

They barely won against the Splash Bros last year, after adding Durant, they are a full-fledged fucking hurricane.

How do you match that?

Their only hope is pretty much what happened last year, Curry is human, and LeBron and Kyrie go ape shit.

Also remember that Kyrie didn't really turn it on until after they were already down 3-1, if he can do what he did the last 3 games for a full series, I think they can still beat a Durant added Warios.

I'm glad we finally agree you're simply talking a bunch of gibberish & have no proof @ all to back your bullshit claims up. Now read this part slowly...if you're so sure of what you're claiming finding proof shouldn't be that difficult. But in typical fashion you keep blathering on & on insisting you're correct when fact of the matter is you're wrong. And pointing out you're lying isn't crying about anything. It's stating a fact.

I took the Cavs last year.

Had Draymond not gone nutcracker, that series was likely over.

They just have to mony weapons.

The Cavs are head and shoulders better than everyone in the East and at least equal, or a smidge better, than the Spurs.

But, the Warriors are full on MonSTARS......It's gonna be a blood bath.

Warriors in 5....as currently constructed, both teams sorta healthy.

uhhh....the Cavs are probably the only team that has a chance- so yah- OF COURSE. lol...

i mean- i appreciate your generosity in giving me shitbag teams like the Sixers, Heat, Suns, MAvs etc.....lol...
