2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[TurnUpTheHeat]

well we shall see how they "switch time zones" this time--- lil diff playing garbage like phoenix, sacaramento, dallas, mini,- and playing the Warriors, and CLippers and Jazz. LOL.

hey- at least we get to see what they are made of!

I hope they lose a lot.
I want them locked in at 3.
You don't need to convince me that they aren't great, but you need to stop blaming Bojan.
Hes been fine.

i just think he sucks and will suck when it matters most- just like last night. I am sure he loves being on a good team- and beatingu p on bad teams--- lil different doing it with expectatiosn against good teams.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

he doesnt need to be "healthy"- he just needs to be playing.

I mean- if LeBron james broke his ankle and wsnt playing the Cavs would still beat the heat but i wouldnt have faith it would be in 5 games obviously.

i dont see LeBron getting hurt- so its pretty much a moot point. Hes a freaking beast.

i didnt think this would be a big deal- i figure you would extend me the same courtesy i had extended you

Fair enough.
And, yes, its freakish how he stays so healthy.
I know his conditioning is second to none, but what happened to Waiters can happen to anyone.

Here's where you are wrong.
Specialists like him shoot the same shots HUNDREDS of times a day.
They aren't surprised when they make them, only when they miss.

The Warriors, Raptors, and Jazz are bad teams? Yes or no

I didn't see any of that game.

For me an easy solution to the resting thing is no rest games allowed on the road. Get your rest games at home. Any player sitting out of a road game must be on the injury report.

90% of the crowd at a home game cares more about their team's health and success over the long haul than they do about seeing a particular player in 1 game. Even for those 10% that are just there to see a star player, they have 40 other games they can try again with.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Richaun Holmes is a absolute monster. He's a superior player than Okafor. I hope he starts next to Embiid next season.

 

[Black Adam]

wow. the lengths this guy'll go to. a bad game or 2 and alluva sudden Bogdan's trash...?

We should also ignore that Bojan was a +13 last night.

Also Wall and Beal played like trash last night. Does it all of sudden means they can't perform against good teams?

Dude is so full of shit.

I'm guessing Lebron and Kyrie never had a poor game against a good team. His logic is so stupid. Bad shooting games happens.

Bojan also went 0-5 from 3 against the Kings. Does that means all of sudden he can't perform against bad teams either.

 

[bksballer89]

And the crazy thing is Bogdan did not play bad at all. When you can score other ways, a bad night shooting 3's is not the end of the world. He still managed to score 14 points and shot 5-7 on 2's.

Also he is avg 15 PPG on 47% since coming to Washington. Also shooting 43% from 3.

 

[Wamu]

Was he drinking coffee and laughing while his teammates were getting beat by 30? How many times has he rested vs. Lebron? Did all 4 sit out? Or just Steph?

During that nationally televised game Steph, Dray & Klay didn't play. Of course KD's injured right now so him missing that game doesn't count. So for that game the Warriors Big 4 didn't play. You said to name a superstar that sat out during a nationally televised game & I did. And how many times has Steph rested compared to LeBron? I have no idea. The Cavs won't catch the Warriors for the best record & still have a lead in the EC for HC. My guess is LeBron is getting whatever rest he can before the regular season ends. Although he does take advantage of that rule more than others. And that's doesn't seem right.

 

[Heatles84]

LOL.

and he deleted my joke about Fags.....lol.

I just thought it was ironic that a Lakers fan who's supposed greatest player retired because of HIV and hes calling other players fags!

you can tell people not to throw in stones in glass houses- but apparently some people have blind spots.

Yet I'm the scumbag. The irony.

 

[Black Adam]

Yet I'm the scumbag. The irony.

tf12 punked him yesterday so i'm guessing that was his try at getting back at him...

Hes been fine.

At the end of the day Bojan is doing exactly what they asked from him. They had a very weak bench. He obviously changed that because they now have a guy who can give them 15 points nightly. I still think they're the 3rd best playoffs team in the East. Nobody thought acquiring Bojan would bring a title to Washington but he is no bum

its such a hard line to straddle though

like Saturday for the Cavs--- they had legit reasons for resting Love and Kyrie because of actual injuries------- and shit- LeBron has missed only 6 games all year- its not like that its a ton (and one was because of strep).


I wouldnt schedule teams that are on the 2nd night of a back to back on the road- on national tv

Cavs are alraedy on national TV 25 times. If it was only 20 and they took off 5 games where they are on the 2nd night of back to backs on the road that wouldnt be bad-

plus- the data and science shows that- those games- road games- the 2nd night of a back to back - are the games where players are at the most significant risk of injury- its not coincidence that those are the games they usually hold Bron out of.

15 a night is good production...

i'd take that in a heartbeat...

 

[bksballer89]

Exactly. I would take that from most starters who is my 3rd or 4th option and I damn sure will take that from a bench player who is only playing 25 MPG

yah

and when these other "stars" have played into June for 6 straight years they can begin calling out LeBron.

the league bitching about LeBron costing them money is the dumbest fucking thing i have ever heard. The league should get down on their knees and beg for The King's forgiveness and be glad he doesnt sit out more games. lol.

no one in the league has done more for league coffers then The King. If they get upset about a game in March- when everyone i s watching the Tourney anyway- they can simply go fuck themselves in my opinion.


plus- the league is so short sighted they dont see the benefit of LeBron resting. Woudlnt you rather have LeBron rest and be avaliable for the vast majority of the season then risk a career altering injury- like Kobe had from red-lining it? Imagine if LeBron was out for a whole YEAR with a serious injury-- then the league would REALLY have reason to cry and whine.

in the words of Ben Franklin--- An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
