2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[DJ Fieri]

Damn....the Dodgers crushed the Pads in their season opener....that team is just a minor league team masquerading as a MLB team.

NBA general manager.

Thought that was covered under basketball savant....

 

[msgkings322]

On the one hand.... I can't really blame everyone for being so convinced the Warriors are gonna roll to the ship.

But on the other hand... I mean, come on guys. Do you not feel the deja vu? Do you not remember saying all the same things a year ago?

This is true as I just posted, no parade planning with me. That said the Warriors are better than last year and the Cavs are worse.

 

[lebron23james]

If the Cavs played in the WC, they'd be a 4 or 5 seed.

The east has won the championship the last 3 out of 5 years

 

[DJ Fieri]

In all seriousness, good luck with the bar....Wiggy. I know a few people that have taken it. It's brutal.....be prepared to do an all nighter when studying for it.

Yeah I guess it would be.

And then the Pads shut out the Dodgers the next game. That's baseball.

You think Durant>>>Barnes??

 

[TJL]

Honestly, I remember last year heading into the Finals after that brutal OKC series thinking that Cleveland, with a now healthy Love/Kyrie compared to the year before, were going to win in 5 or 6, and then of course that turned into "Juice in 7", once they Golden Showers went up 3-1.

No, I meant JaVale is better than Barnes and Bogut combined

seriously

i just did my fantasy baseball draft for this league i have been in forever- and the Padres are as devoid of talent as any major league club i can remember in the last few years. Its staggering how bad they are. Easily the worst team in baseball and its not even close.

And it's terrible for their young hitters because they're not going to be able to put up numbers in that park.

Truth

i have no clue why people think the Cavs are worse than last year. I think thats a mistake.

They definitely have not been as hungry in the regular season---- and the injuries to Love and Smith hurt-- but tehn again- i just dont put much stock in that.

we have Korver and Dwill this year who are better and will be used more than Delly and Mozgov. Thats for sure. Love is playing his best ball as a Cav. Kyrie is better than he was last year.

LeBron is playing out of his mind and has found a nice outside shooting stroke he didnt have last year.

We will see soon.

As of right now they are worse.

Big picture, I'm not so sure. They should actually be better on paper. But they haven't shown that lately. Doesn't mean they won't come playoff time.

Looks pretty solid for 13 teams, imo.

@bksballer89 is the fantasy expert though, he seems to know what he's doing, get his opinion.

What are you doing till you take the bar, Wiggy?
