2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

THIS pathetic little barbag has the nerve to talk about ANYBODY'S "credibility"...

keep reaching, ya little coward...

lol, coward?

im not the dumbass who said the Cavs would have a tough time getting to the Finals last year only to see them rip through going 12-2.

I mean- if you tried you couldnt have been more wrong. Not only that- but saying they had no chance against the Warriors or Spurs.

I mean honestly- if you TRIED to be more wrong you couldnt have been. Unfortunately for you- LeBron served you up a big ole soggy shit sandwich- and your just gonna be getting another one this year. Dig in! LOL.

KEEP trying to deflect, fool. lol...

 

[knowyourenemy]

winslow? lol.

you hit the bottle a litlte hard this morning? hes a poor mans mkg

Positional value. He seems like he'll be one of the better overall perimeter players in that draft. If you're a team like the 76ers who couldn't trade Nerlens Noel for anything . . . wouldn't you just go best wing player available at your spot instead of taking another frontcourt player?

yes- i am deflecting - the guy who bet on the Cavs to win the Finals. LOL

hey- you are just gonna have to live with the fact that King James and the Cavs are gonna be a great team for a long time coming. Every time you turn on ESPN or TNT during the playoffs- you will be seeing the CAvs or previews of Cavs games and King James.

ENJOY, LOL.....its gonna continue on into the future for a long long time. Pretty fucking awesome if y ou ask me!!!!!!! hahahahahahaah

o man...too funny.

see those replays of Lebrons block, Kyries shot---- and of course- highlights from the victories to come.

you are gonna be just so sick of it that it cracks me up. lol. ENJOY!

The KING isnt giving up his crown anytime soon. Choke on it! LOL.

totally agree---- but i think you also need to take into account where the league is going with shooting and spacing.

I dont think Winslow was per se a bad pick- there are def. worse in that draft. Turner and Booker were just quite a bit better.

I agree with you wings are more valuable then big men- but when the difference is so substantial- you gotta do what makes the most sense.

If i thought Winslow could eventually become a respectable shooter- that wouldbe different....does Winslow go around top 10 in that draft if its redone? yah id say so--- Russell to prob.

my money says no...

I dont know if it was posted earlier, but

The SPURS (by virtue of beating Memphis and New York this week) now have wins over each of the 29 other teams.

This is the 3rd year in a row for them...which is a record in the expansion era
The 76ers did it back when the league was between 18-23 teams for seven seasons.

It doesnt mean anything, but it is a neat little record.
Usually teams are undone by some cross-conference foe that sweeps the series 2-0.

Golden State has a chance to match the feat if they are able to beat SA in Texas next week.

Don't they have a game in Oracle as well?

if the Cavs get another title- that would be amazing. If they dont get another title- they will just gear up for another deep run into the playoffs next year. Thats the beauty of it. By no means do i expect the Cavs to win the title EVERY year LeBron James is in Cleveland- its just unrealstic

but every year LeBron James is in Cleveland they will have a great chance. I much prefer that over being a shit team in the basement of my conference. Every year they will go deep into the playoffs and be entertaining as hell to watch. No team can be "guaranteed" to win it every year--- but i DO guarantee you the Cavs will be right up there with every team in the leaguee to have the best chance at doing so.

you will be watching LeBron James go deep into the playoffs and winning games and one of the best in the league for YEARS to come. Itll be YEARS before the King isnt making jaws drop on The NBA on TNT- and hearing Ernie, CHuck and Kenny and Shaq talk about him and the Cavs in the playoffs.

enjoy! hahahahaah

Can't argue with that.

The Spurs are a class act. I'm not a Spurs fan (have nothing against them though) & enjoyed watching The Admiral during his career & same w/ TD. I was a UNLV season ticket holder during the '09-'10 season & watched Kawhi play live during the regular season & the Aztecs run to the MWC Tourney title that year. Knew during his frosh. year he'd be playing in the NBA @ some point. I ended up watching him play as often as possible even after I moved from Sin City to CO. Kawhi's 1 of my favorite current NBAers.

 

[Wamu]

Can't argue with that.

The Bucks are really playing some solid ball lately.

Khris Middleton is showing really how valuable he is. This Bucks team is gonna be one to watch going forward.....if Parker can get healthy and stay healthy and learn how to make winning plays that would be even a bigger development for them.

Giannis is a great player. Its a fun team to watch.....Id much rather face Indiana or Miami at this point if iam the Cavs then the Bucks.....Bucks usually give the Cavs fits too....though- the Cavs always play like shit in Indiana too.

smart or bradley?

Can I have Jimmy Bulter instead? Can I have 1 more season to give you an answer? I'd like to see if Smart can raise his ppg average for a 4th straight year. But right now I'd rather have Bradley. He's the better shooter of the 2.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Can't argue with that.

hey....just out of curiosity---

when is the next time hte Los Angeles Lakers win a playoff a series?

the last time they won one is the '11-'12 season against the Nuggets.

after this year it will have been 5 years in between series wins. Another 3 years?

8 year rebuild?

i could see that.

itll be interesting- i think thomas, bradley and smart are all up for extensions after next year. combine that with the draft picks and trade possibilities and cap space- and its really hard to figure what the Celtics will look like just a couple years from now.

They will be good - we know that--- but how good and how high will there ceiling be? thatll be interesting to see.

I thought this was interesting. The Cavs have been to the playoffs 20 times in their history. The Lakers on the other had have been to the Finals 31 times.

Dammit I really don't like saying anything nice about the Lakers. So I gotta fix this...


L.A. I salute you... (the '85, '87 & '10 seasons are still invalid)


CELTICS IN SEVEN!!!

Depends when they get their alpha.

If they get a top 3 pick this year and package that off along with one of their young player for a star, then I would say they'd make the playoffs next year.
