2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[TJL]

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.

They will probably wait until last second to see if Cleveland sits anyone.

Don't underestimate the Spurs with Pop in a 7 game series.

Never do. Was responding to a specific potential series.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

oh- thanks for saying "it counts"--- thats so generous of you. lol.

Just a phrase.
I've never said either team the last 2 years didn't deserve winning for whatever reason(s).
How many here, including you played the 'what if' game?

 

[DJ Fieri]

The hell you say?

17 wins last year....22 this year.

That's improvement.

Slow improvement. It's why I would have loved to try and trade for PG.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Its up now, but James has decided not to play or to play, last minute, twice already which screwed Vegas.

 

[DJ Fieri]

What's with the Clippers logo?

Season is all over for us essentially.....going all in on the Clipps for the playoffs.....basically I just jinxed and screwed over @Mecca.

if you keep the top 3 pick would u deal it for PG if they asked for it and like Clarkson?

 

[Wamu]

Depends. Who gets Zubac?

He'd play the 1st half w/ 1 team & then the 2nd half w/ the other.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I'd prefer to swap the top 3 pick, the pick from Houston and Russ for him. I really like Clarkson, but if they wanted him, instead of Russ......yes.

We need a star and PG is a star.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I really like Zublacka. Kid is a solid defender and rebounder.

 

[gordontrue]

which screwed Vegas.

I'm having a hard time being sympathetic to Vegas

 

[trojanfan12]

He'd play the 1st half w/ 1 team & then the 2nd half w/ the other.

Then it would be a 3.5-3.5 tie.

 

[WiggyRuss]

if you got them to take back Deng or Mozgov which would open enough cap space to maybe go get someone else--- then maybe....but its a lot....but guys like PG dont come cheap.

I think hes prob a top 10 guy in the league- at the hardest position to find an elite player- SF. If not top 10- def top 20.

yah seriously. I hope no one is shedding tears for those poor sports books. lol.

The Cavs did screw them over pretty hard in the Finals last year too.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Lakers have a ton of viable young big men.....another reason why i think the Mozgov signing was so ill-advised.

I mean- obviously Randle and Zub., but Black and Robinson are decent enough bench options. You dont need a whole bunch of big men in todays NBA anyway.

 

[Wamu]

Then it would be a 3.5-3.5 tie.

Hey what's the deal w/ that ballsoffurry fella talking shit about the Big O? I've never yapped w/ him, is he serious?

 

[TJL]

A lot of people are accusing him of being an alt.

He went after me in another thread the other day, and just kept calling me "Debbie", lmao.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Its just so funny how right I was about Larry Sanders. I mean- i just think it was beyond obvious this was a move made geared FAR MORE towards next year.

I just find his Robertson rant bizarre.

True. Include Mozgov and we could get PG and maybe another FA this offseason to go with the kids....
