2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Robotech]

At the very least they should've reset the clock and did that last play over. That's what they would've done had it not been at the end of the game.

At the very least, yeah, but it still would've been crappy. Imagine if a football team just connected on a Hail Mary TD, but then the refs said you have to do the play over because we forgot to start the play clock on time and we're calling a delay of game on you.

Ty Lue says he can see growth in Kyrie Irving this season: "I just think he's comfortable. I think last year taking over midway through the season, he didn't know exactly what I wanted. Just talking to him over the summer, talking to him before this season exactly what I wanted from him and what I needed from him and he understands. I think coming back after winning the championship and winning the gold medal, he's so much more mature and understanding the game, understanding his teammates and understanding the work you have to put in to get to that next level. He's been great all season."

yah thats like blaming Russell for how bad the Lakers were last year- idiotic.

Well I mean we were privy to more proof just last week when him, love & Tristan couldn't beat the Pacers without LBJ.

What's idiotic is you can't ever seem to keep it 100.

Yea I get it- and some of us have been complaining about how bad these refs have been the last couple of seasons. So far this season seems to top them all.

No way they lose. Pacers just played a hard fought OT game in OKC last night without PG and Miles. They don't stand a chance.

Myles Turner is also out tonight vs. Warriors. Warriors by 7.

You're missing a 2 before the 7

Memphis/Charlotte and Toronto/LAC looking like the best games

i didnt think they should have--- riley is the guy saying he wishes he would have signed dwade to a max extension after the 14 season....i think the heat should have traded away everything not nailed down after bron left- right now they would be in great shape and not owe 2 lightly protected 1st rounders to the Suns and have zero 2nd rounders until the next presidential election (and beyond).

Riley said lol.
Riley said everything that needed to be said when he let him walk.
He made a fair offer.
If Wade thought it wasn't, so be it.
I know it's going to work out to benefit the Heat next summer.
I doubt Wade is around for round 2 of the playoffs, but we shall see.

Whiteside appears to be on a mission tonight.
Let's hope he stays out of foul trouble.

Yawn

 

[bksballer89]

Spoelstra taking out Whiteside with 3 minutes to go in a tied game because he picked up his 5th foul is as stupid of a decision that a coach could make

 

[bksballer89]

Spo brings back Whiteside with the Heat down 7 and the game likely over. I hate stupid coaches

Spo continues to amaze me.

 

[bksballer89]

Whiteside teammates wasted his best scoring output of his career. Only Waiters decided to show up. Richardson and Dragic played like ass

 

[Heatles84]

@bksballer89 don't question Paolo though.....Spo can do no wrong.

Each loss is a blessing my friend. We need that top 5 pick.

Yeah unlike previous seasons, my thinking is different when it comes to losses. If we win that's great but if we lose, I don't look at it as such a bad thing anymore.

That last possession was Richardson and Dragic night in a nutshell

It was so stupid.
