2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Black Adam]

Now if they look like shit tonight vs Boston, what will be your excuse? Just curious

well, let's go over some of the old ones...

1)too many players coming back from injury...

2)new players are trying to "integrate" into the system...

3)"boo-hoo,it's the 2nd game of a back-to-back"...

4)"i'll get mad and bet you fools they STILL come out of the EC"...

5)come up with some Wiggy-ism to deflect the situation...

think that almost covers it...

Lance pulled a McGee tonight and we nearly had a fight

Saw that. Lance definitely shouldn't have done that, but the Wizards overreacted. It didn't look like he was trying to show them up or anything.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Yes, they want the 1 seed.
Why else is James playing 3 in 4 nights and a TON of minutes if they aren't?

Johnson has been a very good everything this season.
I think he has the best rating in the league as far as one on one defense vs who he is guarding.

I think hes playing for 2 main reasons--- the Cavs need time on the court together after so many injuries and additions---- and the league bitching about missing national tv games

if this wasnt a national tv game and the league didnt just single out lebron- i could def. see him sitting


supposedly the Warriors are resting guys against the Suns---- lets see the outrage for that---- it wont be 1/10th of the volume of LeBron---- because- well- ITS LEBRON- the King.

Good morning all.

Wizards overreact all the time.

a bunch of whiners on that team

 

[Black Adam]

If seeding was not a priority for them, Lebron wouldn't have played 51 minutes on Sunday and played last night either.

lmfao have NO idea who he thinks he's bullshitting with that...

 

[trojanfan12]

WestBrick is fun to watch

Yeah he is. Dude plays angry.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Good morning all.

up early huh?

I agree but that was stupid. Raptors should have been more upset about losing a 19 point lead

 

[WiggyRuss]

if LeBron had a usage rate like Westbrook what would his stats be?

it would be incredible.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Miami can end the Hornets season tonight. Highly doubt we win though.

Hopefully Hornets quit after last nights loss.

What's funny is 2 years ago at this point I was praying we didn't end up 8, now I sort of want to.
Either way, this season has shown:
1. Losing Wade was a very good thing.
2. We have some nice young players.
3. Whiteside is elite.
4. James Johnson is a must keep.
5. Waiters is a guy you can count on to take and make big shots. The difference without him makes the Heat so much easier to defend,

 

[gordontrue]

IMO, the Cavs right now are a team that is as equally dangerous as they are vulnerable.

You never know when they're gonna go through a stretch where they can't get a defensive stop to save their lives... or when they're gonna go through a stretch where they just start reigning in 3's from everywhere.

 

[trojanfan12]

LeBron with another triple double tonight adding to his career high for a season. Career high in assists and rebounds....hes really slowing down. lol.

Congrats on winning another "WiggyRuss Stupidest Post of the Day Award."

i cant even find a moneyline on the Boston Cleveland game

can anyone else? I dont even think its listed yet....lol....these sports books are getting REAL nervous.

 

[gordontrue]

Did Lance Stephenson seriously get a tech for laying the ball in with 3 seconds?

That's just stupid. What actual basketball rule did he break?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

if LeBron had a usage rate like Westbrook what would his stats be?

it would be incredible.

Exactly.
Many players could put up crazy numbers with the same usage as Westbrook.

They're prob afraid James screws them again and decides to sit.

 

[gordontrue]

Its a testament to Westbrook and D'Antoni that LeBron is having arguably his best statistical season of his career and is an afterthought when it comes to the MVP.

(Although, to be fair, some of that is because of the horrible March the Cavs just had).

I just looked on 2 sites.
It's not up.

 

[Black Adam]

SOMEONE is drooling all over LeClown's dick again...

I won't mention any names, but he's so much of a little bitch he "put me on ignore"...
