2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Black Adam]

this is why i like Gordon. his ego's not wrapped up in this...

to Wiggy, it means EVERYTHING...

 

[Black Adam]

IF they blow the 1 seed, it will be different.
Instead of prob starting 2-0, more then likely would be 1-1.

and obtw, they are precariously close to losing the 1 seed. the Celtics are breathing down their necks...

 

[bksballer89]

probably the same as last year when they won the title- Bron, Thompson, Shumpert.

How many games have they missed this season?

 

[bksballer89]

I'm sure the Cavs were missing that Kevin Love defense for those 4 or 5 weeks he missed lol.

Point is the Cavs best defensive players been there most of the season so the injury excuse when it comes to the play of their defense is nonsense.

LBJ played 64 games, Shump played 66, & TT played 70.

actually i think your ignorance towards advanced stats shows up quite a bit here. In all of the defensive metrics- defensve rebounding is a huge component. Love is one of the best defensive rebounders in the entire NBA.

In practice it shows as well- the Houston game is the perfect example- without Love's defensive rebounding the other team got like 15 extra chances- and that was the difference in the game. His defensive rebounding is particularly important considering the Cavs backup big is Frye- who is basically a glorified shooting guard and allergic to rebounding.



I mean- we shall see how it goes in the playoffs and who is right and who was wrong- I cant wait to see how it turns out. But thats becaise i have confidence in THE KING and his leadership.

if the Celtics get the 1 seed would you pick them in a series over the Cavs?

I get your point, but one of the most important aspects of defense is securing a rebound. Love's perimeter and help defense are not good... but his rebounding has a big impact on the team defense.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

no doubt. that is their biggest worry. The only team that can beat the CAvs in the East is the Cavs-

having LeBrons leadership comes in huge. I trust him to have the team with the right mindset.

Not quite.
You better hope James remains healthy.
You better hope theyre hitting their 3's.

 

[Black Adam]

suprisingly that's an honest question...

my honest answer would at this point would be i wouldn't count them out...

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

How many games does it go if Celts have HC vs Cavs?

clearly he think LeClown is gonna flip that defensive switch for his team and they'll magically turn it on...

 

[trojanfan12]

Blake Griffin. Puss.

This is why I don't think the Clips can get to the finals with Blake. Dude just isn't tough enough.

Explain what took place on Sunday and Wednesday with Love in the lineup. Thanks

im telling you- besides me- i just might nominate you for most intelligent Hoopster out there!

i mean- its good hes not the leader of the team- if he was they would be really screwed. Griffin is mentally weak thoguh.

Rousey represents the Lakers and Nuggets offense.

The face she's punching represents the Cavs defense.
