2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

Embiid is quickly becoming the new king of quotes in the NBA, taking over from Steven Adams...

“You know how I learned to shoot?” Embiid says. “I watched white people. Just regular white people. They really put their elbow in and finish up top. You can find videos of them online.”

Embiid is a twitter legend. Dude is seriously funny. His whole thing with him asking Rihanna out was hilarious.

If there was any doubt at all lingering that the pressure is now completely off of LeBron James.... the fact that he took the microphone during the ring ceremony last night and literally said that everyone who isn't from Cleveland has no reason to live - and NO ONE CARES this morning - should prove it.

Oh yea. Fuck him.

He's still the best player in the world though, no changes there.

He's reached the point where he has said and done so many stupid things, it's just not news anymore.

Now if someone commits suicide and leaves a suicide note stating the reason they ended their live is because Lebron said everyone who isn't from Cleveland has no reason to live. Would love to know how he feels about that.

I'm sure he would be very upset.

That moment of his speech was pretty cringey. He sort of stumbled on his words and I have no idea what he was trying to say... but I don't think it was what he actually ended up saying.

For those too lazy to click the link.

"Nah," he said when asked whether he had watched any basketball.

When asked whether he'd seen any scores from Tuesday, he said the same thing.

"Nah."

Westbrook, who has previously said he doesn't watch other teams play, said he spent the night doing other things.

"I played cards, man," Westbrook. "I was just chilling, minding my own business, eating a nice dinner, talking to my wife on the phone."

He continued.

"Took a nice shower," he said. "I used Dove soap. Brushed my teeth, washed my face and went to sleep. Put a movie on before I went to sleep, and that's what I did."

Yet he continues to find himself in that pickle.

No doubt.

My point was that - for once - no one seemed to notice or care... because they're too buys scrutinizing the Warriors.

In 5 hours another season of Kings basketball begins!

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Right there with ya brother.

I was gonna make an avatar bet with you on who's team wins more games after seeing you put the Kings in last place, but putting that fate in the hands of the Kings worries me.

I'll take an avi bet.


Already lost one to the Doyers, so it can't get any worse than that.

Bottom of the West is a crapshoot. I hope we either suck real bad and get a top 5 pick or exceed expectations and get an 8 seed. Nothing in-between.

I guess I'll do it, I think our teams are close enough that it could go either way. I'd also want the Kings to get a top 5 pick or sneak into the playoffs, but they usually like to finish in the 7-9 range of the lottery. And if I do win the bet, I won't be giving you another Doyer one because it might be painful for you to have but it'll also be painful for me to look at. Loser gets the avatar for a week or month? I'm fine with either.
