2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

But the GM also said it isn't his job to appease the league and its television partners (which include ESPN).

"Yeah, and they're paying me to win a championship," he told Shelburne. "I'm not overly concerned about the perception of it. We literally had one guy rest tonight, and everybody else was reasonably injured, so I don't feel like we did anything terribly egregious."

He does realize where all of that money he's being paid to win a championship comes from, right? Your post just shows how stupid he really is. He's also a fucking liar since both Kyrie and Love could have played.

Now we're tied with Detroit again for 8th. Only good thing about tonight was that we did not lose any ground on Indiana

We played ok.
Effort was there.
Shots were there, just missed them.
Lillard was all world.
They're a hot team also needing to win.
Cant win em all.

Yeah basically. The defense on Lillard is what frustrated me. It was 87-86 when he came back in. After he hit that 3 to go up 90-86, we should have doubled him on every pick and roll. Oh yeah Reed getting owned by Nurkic when Hassan went out also annoyed me.

Win the next 2 and we would go 7-2 in this stretch where we play 8 of 9 at home. No complaints from me if that happens.

I'd rather the Kings be fighting to be in the playoffs instead of tanking but they need as much talent as they can get on the team, getting 2 lottery picks is big.

You guys are different. If you ever want to switch teams, I don't think anyone here has the stones to call you out for it. I couldn't imagine being a Kings fan.

It's rough, but I've stuck by them this long I might as well stay with it. It'll be even sweeter to see them as a championship contender(and hopefully NBA champion) after all the down years.

If they ever win a title. I don't think there would be a dry eye on this forum for you. If it comes against the Heat......you're so fucked.

Well the Heat do have 3 titles to their name as of now, so if they had to sacrifice winning another for the sake of Kings fans seeing a miracle occur I think they'd survive lol.

This loss should erase any complacency vs Suns
Raptors could be salty because we pummeled them last time.

Yeah I'm concerned about the Raptors game especially without Waiters

They weren't expected do anything this year. Let alone make the tournament and win a couple of games. They are also one of the youngest teams in the country. Hopefully, everyone comes back. If they do, they should be really good next year.

Lakers up 59-55 at the half.

Looks like resting the big 3 last night is paying off for the Cavs...

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Cavs did nothing to address their horrendous D at the deadline.
Could this be the post season where James doesn't cakewalk to the Finals?

I believe last time they all rested the Heat took that ass the next game from Deeeeeepppp in the Q.
