2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Was wondering if anyone else saw that. I was waiting for @Mecca to post her latest edition of "LaVar Ball Need to STFU." lol

Lmao! I was just about to post that!!!!!

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

What a tool

LaVar Ball: UCLA had too many ‘white guys’ with slow foot speed to win title

He's a piece of shit.

Had some white guy said the Cowboys can't win with Dak because blacks aren't smart enough to play Quarterback, he would get ethered.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

pretty sure you guys realize by now, this guy will literally say ANYTHING to draw attention to himself. he's already proven that there aren't ANY lines he won't cross...

Yeah, I won't root against Lonzo.

But, I pray he doesn't go to the Lakers.

I don't want Lavar's bitch ass to win.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Wow. Complete douchebag...

Especially because it was said by a dipshit that is married to a white woman and has half white children.

....which he will likely try to use as a defense to show his comment wasn't racist.

It is.

I bet his kids can't wait to be grown and on their own. He is very similar to Todd Marijuana-vich's dad.

I really want Lonzo.....but not his dad.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Not nice to make fun of old people.

True but it doesn't stop me from making fun of my good buddy, CL67.

 

[Wamu]

If your Lakers end up getting Lonzo maybe the organization could ban Lavar from attending games @ Staples?

 

[WiggyRuss]

looks like the Lakers should prob. be the #3 spot in the lotto after their recent wins- they will prob have passed the suns.

That gives them a 46.9% chance of keeping their pick.


just for the record- if somehow they finish behind the Suns in the #2 spot they would have a 55.8% chance at keeping the pick.


this means the Sixers have a better than 50% at having 2 top 5 picks in this draft....thats bonkers. Add 2 elite guys in this draft like say- Ball and Monk? holy shit.

 

[Wamu]

looks like that talk about Boston getting the 1 seed has died down. lol.


on the bright side- now that the Cavs are pretty much wrapped up having the 1.5 game lead and the tie breaker---- we might see some Larry Sanders sightings!!!

he might get more than the EIGHT TOTAL MINUTES he has received thus far. lol.---as i saidw ith Sanders at hte time- signed 3 reasons

A. play in garbage time
B. insurance in case of injuries
C. develop for next year

I think Larry will have some potential as a decent bench contributor next year.....but right now? bahahahaha

Larry Sanders > Hassan Whiteside...right?

 

[WiggyRuss]

Larry Sanders > Hassan Whiteside...right?

lol ill give whiteside that one--- Sanders isnt even ready to play real minutes on an NBA team just like anyone with any common sense knew when the Cavs signed him.

BOTH those guys ARE centers though- for the record. lol.

Your Cavs will need some extra bench depth for the playoffs. Maybe they could pick up Anthony Bennett?

 

[Wamu]

So is anyone else not watching the Masters?

 

[DJ Fieri]

LaVar strikes me as the type of dad that would get in a fight in the seats at a game.

 

[DJ Fieri]

"LaVar Ball’s outrageous personality might not be just an act for television. In fact, the father of top recruits LiAngelo and LaMelo and NBA lottery-bound Lonzo actually intimidated the head coach of the high school team his two youngest sons play for.

According to For the Win, LaVar took on a role of his own this past season, disrupting chemistry for the Chino Hills High School basketball team, its head coach Stephan Gilling, and Ball’s his two high school sons.

At halftime of a game in which Chino Hills trailed by 12 at the half, Gilling told his team to stop trapping. LaVar shouted from the stands to do the opposite, and the players listened to him before Gilling was able to regain control of his own team.

Chino Hills came back to win the game by eight, and Gilling told FTW that LaVar had words for him afterwards.


“He comes to me and says, ‘What are you doing? What are you doing?’ I said, ‘What do you mean? I’m trying to win the game.’


Then LaVar walked into the locker room despite Gilling telling him not to"

 

[DJ Fieri]

"In a hotel room after one of the teams’ games, an assistant coach told Gilling that he heard LaVar pumping the team up.


“I guess he got them out of their rooms on the 18th floor and tells the team that it was his system that won,” Gilling told FTW. “That we’re doing what he says. ‘I run Chino Hills! I run UCLA, about to run the NBA!’”

Gilling went on to talk about LaVar’s consistent efforts to undermine him despite what had been a good relationship. Gilling was an assistant coach before stepping in as head coach for his first season this year and knew the Ball family well.

Gilling also noticed the impact it had on LiAngelo, a graduating senior, and LaMelo, a sophomore who scored 92 points in a game.

“Throughout the rest of the year, we had games that I would not talk to [LaMelo and LiAngelo],” Gilling said. “They understood and knew they were caught in the middle of it all. It was sad for the kids because it was from that point on that they didn’t know who to listen to.

“It was also noticeable that things were being said at home, and brought back to the gym in a way of, like, they’re not listening to the coaches."

what do you think DJ---

looks like you will havea 46% chance at keeping the pick, roughly....

if you would have finished behind the Suns it would have been 56%----- but - at this point i think that would be tough- esp. cause the lakers have a really really weak schedule to figure it out....


honestly- in the casinos playing roulette- thats about what the percentages are when you factor in green.

that should be an INTERESTING lotto night.....47% chance atkeeping this pick, AND the Orlando pick...that is a fuck ton riding on some ping pong balls.

good luck! for your sake- and pretty much yours alone on this site- i hope you hit.

I know you think it's big but think back when to Irving was on that 24-58 team......would you have been happy they were winning games at the end of the season against good teams or wanting them to lose? I think you would want them to win because it's showing signs of improvement and not lose games. If we're keeping it 100, my friend.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Especially, since the 2013 pick turned out to be Anthony Bennett.
