2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

"I don't care what LeBron said," Ball said. "He talking about he warned me. He warned me for what? What is a warning going to do? Nothing."

Ball also referred to James as "touchy" a day after the four-time NBA MVP told ESPN that Ball's invocation of James' family is "a problem now."

so if thats the case- why arent Mozgov and Deng playing right now?

That's a stupid fucking question.

 

[trojanfan12]

if thats the case then why are Deng and Mozgov not playing?

Still a stupid fucking question.

Good article

Inside the 'Tinderization' of today's NBA

 

[trojanfan12]

are Deng and Mozgov doing the job they are paid to do?

Still a stupid question.

 

[trojanfan12]

they all address fundamentally the same question

if resting guys isnt okay- why is shutting guys down for the season okay?

arent they paid to do a job? what- they dont havea duty to put the best team on the court?

fundamentally its the same damn thing.--- you are right htough- should have quoted them all in the same post instead of 3 separate.

Once again you win the "WiggyRuss Stupid Post of the Day Award."

You've won it so many times, it's now named after you.

Congrats.

 

[trojanfan12]

but you cant say the Cavs cant sit there guys becuase of the integrity of the game while saying the Lakers can sit their guys. That is hypocrisy at its finest.

It's not even the tiniest bit hypocritical.

When these two cross paths....

@WiggyRuss what say you?



They have that malcontent, bum Whiteside #5.

2010 NBA re-draft: The way it should have been

oh yah--- drafting Whiteside #5 would have been hte best thing to do for his bad attitude! lol

no matter what happened- its obvious the guy was gonna have to bounce around for a while and eat some humble pie before becoming a real live NBA player.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Deng and Mozgov were paid to play 82 games- and give the Lakers a better chance to win-- why arent they playing?

because- even though it doesnt help them THAT night- its whats best for their overall team going forward. Same exact thing as the Cavs and LeBron.

NO team has a duty to try and win every night without figuring how it plays into their long term goals.

We are doing a mock draft for Today's episode of " Lavar Ball needs to stfu".

• On comparisons of Lonzo to Johnson, Ball said: "Lonzo is more athletic than Magic, blocks more shots, and makes more steals. ... Lonzo is Magic with a jump shot."

• He won't be going to the Lakers

• On comparisons of Lonzo to Kidd, Ball said: "The way you compare him to Kidd is, he likes to pass and Kidd and Zo are light-skinned. But [Lonzo] is taller and longer, and he's got a better jump shot than Kidd. He's more athletic in how he jumps and catches lobs back door."

He won't be going to the Bucks.

• On his sons' upside, Ball said: "Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time, but all three of my boys can go down as the greatest player ever. Lonzo is better than what Michael Jordan was doing in high school, and he's better than what Michael Jordan was doing in college. ... He's only 19. He's got to get past Jordan's six titles and get to seven to be the greatest player ever, and I think he can do it."

He won't be going to the Bees.

Congrats on sentencing your kid to hard time with the Nuggets or Knicks and lmfao @ he and Kidd being light skinned.

Cousins at #1 in a 2010 re-do makes sense to me. Guy is such a great talent despite his personality.

I had a hard time between Wall and Paul George.

2 years ago, no brainer George.

This year?

I'd probably take Wall.

I'd take Wall or PG ahead of him, the talent is unquestionable but the attitude brings him down some.

see...lebron agrees:

Dave McMenaminESPN Staff Writer
The rest discussion followed the Cavs again Wednesday in Denver and LeBron James, who made sure to tell a visiting reporter that he would indeed be playing Wednesday night in emphatic fashion, added another point to his argument that he receives undue attention when he rests compared to the rest of the league. "It's never a discussion when a team decides to shut their players down when they feel like they can't make the playoffs," James said, referring to the Los Angeles Lakers taking Timofey Mozgov and Luol Deng out of the rotation for the final month of the season.

There's no need to explain. It's already been explained multiple times. The fact that you're too stupid to grasp it, doesn't mean it hasn't been explained.
