2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

Redick on pace to get over 50 tonight.

Did you see the ESPN article on Cuban and Parsons?

Cuban revisiting his Fraternity days?

Why would he give this guy so much input on personnel decisions?

How the NBA's biggest bromance blew up

Cuban has an inflated ego and needs it stroked all the time. When he bought the team he put lots of energy into building it into a contender but seemed content when he finally won an NBA Championship. Since then he seems to have lost interest in the team and many fans are becoming increasingly upset.

Good shit in Denver right now. Nelson shot hit a 3 to put Denver up 1 with 20 seconds left

Boston is so over rated.

Judging them when they been without 2 starters for most of the season is pretty stupid. Wait til Crowder and Horford are back before judging them. Not a lot of teams would look good missing their 2 starters for basically the entire season so far.

 

[bksballer89]

That's all good. U guys your suppose be the 2nd best team. I don't see it.

lol Crowder played 4 games and Horford played 3 games. I would love to see how the Bulls looked if Wade and Gibson been out most of the season.

 

[bksballer89]

Every summer some 'experts' need to find the team that can challenge James in the East.

#itdoesntexist

To be fair to Boston, they been without 2 very important players. There's very few teams that can survive and look good when you're without 2 starters for most of the season.....especially when one of those starters is your 2nd best player.

Really can't make any judgment on Boston right now until you see them with their full squad.

 

[bksballer89]

Not only has Horford and Crowder been out most of the season, but in the few games this year where those guys were actually healthy and in the rotation, they were without their 2 best bench players in Olynk and Smart. They have yet to play a game with their entire roster.

Just looked at the Warriors schedule, they should not lose anytime soon.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Looked at the Lakers score and they were down, looked again, still down, came home and turned the game on and tie score. This one team that plays as hard as possible for the entire 48 minutes. I don't think I have ever seen a Lakers team play hard for 48 minutes in my life time. I'm almost afraid to get used to it

The Trump Hotels won't be an issue in the future - Trump is taking his name off of everything and replacing the names with neutral names. Over time these players won't remember what Trump owns.

Iggy

The Suns would probably love to dump that contract.

Hmmm. Not sure that would work, who's gonna defend LeBron?

 

[trojanfan12]

6. More of that good Frye Love
Tyronn Lue unleashed this all-shooting, defense-challenged frontcourt for 55 minutes over last season's playoffs after using it for just 30 minutes total in the regular season. Bad news for every team outside Oakland: Lue is confident in the Love-Frye combo now, and he's rolled it out already for 60 minutes this season.

Opposing coaches feared this lineup last season, and wondered privately why Lue wouldn't use it. Love and Frye will never be defensive stoppers, and the Cavs probably can't play them together against Golden State's Death Lineup. But they do fine against basically everyone else, including the East's patsies, and the Cavs are unguardable when they surround LeBron with maximum shooting.

The Love-Frye duo forms a powerful antidote to any behemoth center. You think Dwight Howard and Jonas Valanciunas want to chase these dudes 30 feet from the hoop? Those guys might hurt Cleveland in the post, but the math tilts in the Cavs' favor.

Offense gets really simple with five shooters on the floor: station Love and Frye near the elbows, run cutters off of them, and wait for someone to pop open.

Does this mean Frye and Love are going steady?

And here I thought that was gonna be a forever type thing.

If Tristan and Khloe can't make it, there's no hope for the rest of us.

 

[trojanfan12]

Watch out for what?

Those bricks @Mecca was throwing yesterday.

 

[trojanfan12]

if you are talking about just the East- after Bron and Paul George- i dont think you can take anyone else besides Kyrie.

Just shows how bad the East really is.

Just looked at the Warriors schedule, they should not lose anytime soon.

I wouldn't be a fan of that if I'm a Warriors fan. This team needs to be challenged. Watching the Boston game once they were up 30 points, you saw them get relaxed. They need to still be getting their chemistry down and going through a challenge. Billups said after the game that so far the Warriors from last year to this year is that they don't put their opponents away which is pretty big considering they think they're going to score when they want. Cockiness can be a dangerous thing.

Eh, wasn't looking forward to that sex tape anyway. Hell, the first one wasn't all that great.

So this Clips/Kings game got interesting.

So this Clips/Kings game got interesting.

I doubt the defense can do enough to make it more interesting. Another close "moral victory" loss vs one of the best teams in the NBA, I'm sick of those.
