2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[bksballer89]

If the Pacers lose tonight, I love the Heat chances of making it due to the TB

Speaking of LeDouche.

How about NOT saying the regular season is meaningless and you are too good to care about the games.
I'm sure the people paying top dollar to see you are thrilled with that.
I remember it wasn't that long ago when James said he owed it to the fans to play hard every night for just that reason.

Exactly. A lot of people already say that the regular season is too long and renders the games meaningless. Now, the best player in the league pretty much confirms what those people say.

I'm sure Adam Silver, the owners and everyone else with a vested financial interest were just thrilled to hear that gem.

Rodman: LeBron resting shows he's not Jordan


Dennis Rodman : "Very easy for LeBron to be successful in today's NBA"

"You know what, LeBron's doing one thing that I always said that Michael Jordan never did. He never rested. He played every game. LeBron has the position to do this now, because they need him. The league needs him, and that's why he's doing all this crazy s--- now."

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.

if they rested the whole starting lineup and lsot every game left on their schedule what would it matter?

home court matters if it goes to 7 games.

you see the Cavs going to 7 games against any of these Eastern Conference teams?

Over the last 6 years no player in the NBA has played more NBA games than LeBron Raymond James.

 

[trojanfan12]

No doubt he hires LeBron23James and SheMan to his defense team

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

and LBJ's middle name is Raymone, not Raymond.

I actually think its very possible, even likely, for the Hawks to be in 9th place by Sunday night.

Hawks vs BOS today, @ CLE SAT, vs CLE SUN
Bulls @ PHI today, @ BKN Sat
Heat @ TOR today, @ WAS Sat
Pacers vs MIL today, @ ORL Sat

If I had to guess, hawks go 0-3, Bulls go 2-0, Heat go 1-1, Pacers go 2-0, resulting in....

6. Bulls 40 - 40
7. Pacers 40 - 40
8. Heat 39 - 41 (Heat have tie-breaker, better division record)
9. Hawks 39 - 41

 

[Shanemansj13]

Oh no 29th ranked defense in the league.


Come at my muslim brother and I'll bury you where you stand you little cocksucking bitch

Meh I'm not really worried about Waiters. He has always been a little crybaby bitch, he will fold in the playoffs.

 

[trojanfan12]

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.

They have struggled all season on defense. The fact that you can't see it shows that you know nothing about the game.

And your little bitch fits every time someone mentions their defense make you look even dumber.

They aren't exactly playing good basketball. I don't think they scare anyone in the East IMO

Oh on contraire---I do see it. I just dont think it matters. And i think the people that do think it matters havent been paying attention to this team over the last 3 years.

Meh I'm not really worried about Waiters. He has always been a little crybaby bitch, he will fold in the playoffs.

And you know this how?

 

[Shanemansj13]

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

I meant real money haha. But yeah I will probably stay way. Good luck

 

[trojanfan12]

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.

As a Cleveland fan, it's a mentality you know all too well.

It's been explained over and over again why you can't/don't ask the players to not win games. Your inability to grasp it just confirms what we all already know.

lmfao

 

[Shanemansj13]

It's his mentality. Maybe he turns the corner, who knows. It's just what I think. He basically has no playoff experience though and hasn't started one game in the playoffs his entire career.

Best thing the Heat got going for them is we win the TB with all of the teams were fighting with except Chicago.
