2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

I just want the Celtics to get better. This current core of players hasn't even won a playoff series yet. Hopefully Ainge makes the right moves though.

He's done a great job getting them to this point. But he's 0 for 1 on chances to add immediate help. I hope not pulling the trigger on PG-13 or Butler doesn't come back to haunt him.

Paul Pierce would play in his wheelchair. lol

Damn right.

Fun Fact:

As a 39 year old Michael Jordan played all 82 regular season games playing 37+mpg.

I'm accepting the probability that we finish 9th based on the rest of the 3 teams schedules.
The home loss to Knicks will probably end up being fatal.

Yep but my mindset on where we would finish changes big time if we win tonight which I don't expect

The Heat better not finish 9th. I got $$$$$ on them beating the Cavs in 3.

I'll make it a -1 because of the Horford max.

Of course.
Wiz/Raptors will be fighting to get 3, not 4.
Lowry is fresh and needs to play for conditioning.
Wiz want 50 wins.

Who has the tiebreaker between them?

Only 37 minutes? Slacker.

I was disappointed the Celtics didn't trade for 1 of those 2.

It will suck for about a week, then we'll be saying its a better thing that they are in lotto.

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

109-99

So what? As a 40 year old Lavar Ball played all 82 games & 48 minutes a night.

The Heat are +6. They aren't very good on 1 day rest and they are on the road but they need a win...hmm

Honestly have no idea. Season series was 2-2 and both are 31-18 vs the East. I think the next TB may be division record but could be wrong


@gordontrue what is the 3rd tie breaker?

 

[trojanfan12]

Yeah, I understand what appears to be his plan. But it's not every day that you have the chance to add a player like PG-13 or Butler and basically keep your core completely intact.

Well I'm sorry for your loss lol

 

[knowyourenemy]

Getting like Fultz and Monk would be RIDICULOUS.

thats your back court for the next 6-7 years to add toa that badass front court.

Itll take a couple years to get them developed and on the same page- but damn.

Plus Simmons is apparently 7 feet tall now . . . so they'll be able to move him around to create mismatches against pretty much any team.

Tiebreaker Basis
(-) Tie breaker not needed (better overall winning percentage)
(1) Division leader wins tie from team not leading a division
(2) Head-to-head won-lost percentage
(3) Division won-lost percentage
(4) Conference won-lost percentage
(5) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, own conference
(6) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, other conference
(7) Net Points, all games

Not sure how old this is though, but it seems logical.

Won 3 straight on the road.
