2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

The only reason to watch the Heat this season is Hassan Whiteside

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

Agree.
I don't get upset with any result.

Regardless, taking Whiteside out accomplished what?

I got some laughs when I said the 76ers would win tonight. 101-94. This one is in the books. 76ers have been playing well lately.

 

[bksballer89]

It was so stupid.

Yep I was pretty pissed about it. It was an obvious drop off in the level of play anytime Whiteside was on the bench tonight. In a tied game with 3+ to go, you need to leave him in. If he fouls out then so be it. He only kept Whiteside out for a minute and in that minute, the sixers went on a 7-0 run and ended the game.

Congrats

Thanks. 76ers with two in a row. There won't be many of these this year. Just glad to see the team playing some decent basketball.

I'm just happy to see Whiteside dominate games so frequently. He needs to stop picking up silly 2nd fouls late in the first which puts him in foul trouble usually for the rest of the night. That 2nd foul with less than a minute to go in the first was frustrating and set the tone for the rest of the night. If he stays out of foul trouble, he plays close to 40 minutes and drops close to 40 points in a probable heat win

POP resting players again for no real reason other than precautionary rest.
I just don't get it.

Dallas might suck, but they are still an NBA team. Dallas is also injured.
Don't do them any favors by purposely leveling the playing field to make it competitive.
Yes, there are nagging injuries....and this is the 1000th time I complained...

But, the Spurs have now played over 20% of their games with healthy scratches. It is absurd.
It is doubly worse in front of the home crowd who wants to see the stars play.

The Spurs are going to start losing some of these games.

GD Celtics getting whooped by Minnesota. They can't shoot, can't defend, can't rebound and they aren't getting to the line..at all.

It definitely would have been a different game if not for the foul trouble.

I'd rather watch Whiteside play horse by himself then this steaming pile of a Celtics performance.

Houston and Detroit coming down to the wire. Houston up 3 with 106 left.

Whiteside>>>Drummond

Whiteside>>>Drummond

I don't think you would ever see Hassan intentionally fouled like that down 2 with 5 seconds left in the 4th.

BTW Hassan was pretty pissed about being removed for the game due to picking up his 5th foul with 3+ minutes left

Whiteside needs to be much smarter with his stupid fouling.
It's the biggest weakness in his game.

On another note, very nice game for Beasley and he can be a very effective situational C.

Gladly.
Without him they lose by 30.
Outside shooting was horrendous.
That's his fault?
Philly pretty much totally focused on him and it didn't matter.

You keep bragging about Drummond, Cousins and the rest who you continually try to put above him.
It just furthers your resume of idiocy.

The Heat is supposed to suck this year. It's a plan.
The others? Nope. They are pretty much invested and thought they'd be good now.

Heat fans is not allowed to be happy to see a player continuing to improve every game? He had a great night for the most part. Just couldn't stay out of foul trouble. If not for him, the Heat lose by 25

@Vyle203 I see the Wolves collapsed. Solid win for Boston
