2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

I don't think they'll have trouble beating Atlanta. They own that team. Boston losing on 1 of those games is a different story

Yeah, both are on the road for Boston, but I agree.

But if Atlanta drops all 3 of those games... they could suddenly find themselves out of the playoffs. They'll be playing for their playoff lives.

Cleveland dipped from 100% likely to win the East to about 99.98% likely to win the East a few days ago.
And everyone freaked out.

I understand. Cleveland Fans are insufferable at times with selective memories, bi-polar behavior, and a lifelong not caring about the Cavs until about 2006.

but, they were honestly never in any real danger of not making the finals (barring some fluke injuries).
They will make the finals even if they fall to a #3 seed.

You and Wiggy must be reading different boards and then responding here. I haven't seen anyone "freak out."

I have seen pretty much everyone on here say essentially the same thing. That is, that they expect the Cavs to come out of the East, but if they don't figure out what's wrong with their defense, they could be vulnerable and an upset more likely.

The only person on here who has "freaked out" was Wiggy. But then he freaks out every time someone says anything other than the Cavs will steamroll the East again.

Hell, even the only rational Cavs fans in existence (gordon and shane) have expressed concern about the Cavs defense.

Indiana will lose to the Bucks tonight, you can take it to the bank

[Shanemansj13]

Or Waiters to come back, then you're fucked.

OHHH NOOO Waiters

 

[Black Adam]

No doubt he hires LeBron23James and SheMan to his defense team

By 2020 they'll be known as the 3 stooges of Law.

I havent expressed concern because there is no reason for concern.

The cavs HAVE struggled on back to backs---- but there record with1 days rest is right up there with the top of the league- with the Spurs and Warriors.

There are no back to backs in the playoffs.

 

[trojanfan12]

what a mistake.

Loser mentality.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Loser mentality.

absolutely loser mentality- no doubt about it.

Just me- but i value a top 3 pick in a loaded draft and being able to potentially get a franchsie changing player more than winning an extra 3-4 games.

Just my opinion.

 

[Black Adam]

does he really think this shit scares people? lmfao...

 

[Black Adam]

Loser mentality.

consider the source...

 

[trojanfan12]

You're right. Nobody said a word when the Warriors rested their guys for a Saturday Night game against the Spurs last month.....

More of Wiggy making shit up so he can argue against things that didn't happen.

Both those team are so inconsistent. Should I put a max bet on it though?....

Losers always lose, Cleveland is a town full of losers, with a loser mentality.

That's why it took for the 2nd greatest player of all time to be born there before you could finally win a championship for the first time in a billion years.

And when your Queen leaves, you'll be left to cheer for number one picks and the Browns.

I put 1,000 on the Bucks to cover 4.5 and 2,000 on the over

I don't see it as freaking out but some people said they could see them dropping to the number 4 seed. Which I didn't see happening ever. However, last night was an improvement, there is a long way to go and it starts with defense. I saw plenty of plays where they left shooters wide-open or guys cutting where they were confused. I also saw a lot of good plays on defense and good team defense.
