2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[WiggyRuss]

It's not just this game.

They are a mess.

They just donated that money to Ezeli and Crabbe, Turner and Harkless are redundant.

They need to make some trades.

Their defense is awful and this guy won't help.

But, I can see them going after Monroe.

thats what i didnt get---- okay- sign McCollum- he has some nice upside nd is pretty slick....but why give all that money to Harkless, Ezeli, Turner and Crabbe?--- all of those guys are replacable....i would have let Crabbe go to Brooklyn- or worked out a sign and trade or something

they are locked into this team- and while it is young- its just not very good and its positively atrocious defensively.

Unbalanced roster.

I love Dame.

So, I hope they figure it out.

Yep I just never saw the need for Turner. He needs to ball in his hand to be good. Hard for that to happen in Portland with Dame and CJ

Who has been the worst signing so far....

Turner or Ryan Anderson?

ill say turner- like you said-

anderson at least has a set talent- a 4 that can rain triples...i dont see that skill going....he can rebound decently -but no nmatter what you would think ryan anderson can be a big man that can rain triples...

what is turners charecterstic that makes him an NBA player? what is great about him? not much that i can see...hes kinda just a very solid all around guy...

 

[bksballer89]

My god this game is something else

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Chandler Parsons is looking kinda awful too.

If he can get healthy, the Griz can be players.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Cavs with 21 three's tonight......wow.....franchise record- obviously.

LeBron 31 pts, 13 assists, 10 boards, 3 steals

Love 40 pts, 8 boards, 3 assists--- 8 of 12 from 3

Kyrie with a quiet 20 points on 8/15 shooting,, 6 assists



not bad...not bad at all....kinda what was envisioned when these 3 came together- an offense that is practically unguardable because of its versatility, shooting and multiple passers.

 

[WiggyRuss]

just sit Drummond for the 4th...his job is done.....Whiteside wont be able to sit for a week. lol.

Agree.

He's Lance Stephenson....lol

Nobody was more surprised than Turner when the Blazers foolishly made that offer.

Turner will be the scapegoat if Portland, now carrying the league’s third-highest payroll, ends up trapped in the middle. (He was almost as stunned as you by Portland’s mega-offer, by the way. Turner’s agent made him promise not to tell anyone about the proposal until he signed it. Turner was too giddy, though. He hung up with his agent, immediately called Andre Iguodala, still a close friend and mentor, and blurted out, “Yo, Dre! They offered this!” Turner recalled, laughing. Iguodala told him to take the deal right away.)

Drummond is putting it in Whitesides pooper...lol...

1st game all year where the Heat doesn't even seem interested.
I'm sure during the course of 82, they'll be some more.
No way Whiteside could do much.
I don't watch much Pistons, but I'd assume this is their best effort?
No way Drummond couldn't be successful.

So what's your point?

Whiteside has been the better player for near a month.
Not sure what type of point you're trying to make, other then being your normal troll self.

Yep.
The mighty Pistons are awesome.
Drummond should be league MVP.

i didnt really have a point other than the fact that they are playing head to head tonight and Drummond is Zed and Whiteside is Marcellus Wallace pre-Butch (Bruce Willis) saving him. lol.

You're such a tool. You expect Whiteside to outplay Drummond everytime they play? He isn't Joel Anthony. There's been games where Drummond got the better of Whiteside. There's been games where Whiteside got the better of Drummond. There's been games where both been good. Both are good players so expecting one to dominate the head to head (in terms of stats) is not realistic

@you thinking 1 game means anything. I saw Vlade get the better of Shaq a time or 2. Didn't mean Vlade was a better player.

I didn't see the first half, but no doubt it isn't the Heat/Whitesides night.

Just funny that every other night when Whiteside is his normal self, you say teams basically let him get vs him earn.

Head to head would be great if the game was competitive and the entire Heat roster wasn't on vacation, but apparently they are.

Like I said, no way Whiteside could be statistically good or Drummond bad based on how their teams played.

For the season, Whiteside has been easily better.

Historically, which ever player has been at home has won the head to head.

i think they do- you guys just dont have very good options- hence Dion Waiters getting 14 shots a game. I dont think there is another team in the league where Dion Waiters is getting 14 shots a game...holy shit.

 

[bksballer89]

If you're just going by the numbers, This is their 5th time facing off since the start of last year. Whiteside outplayed him 3 times. Drummond outplayed him 2 times. Not a surprise that Miami is 3-2 in these games

Yes the heat roster is garbage. We know that. This was known since July. Any other obvious statements that you would like to make that we all knew four months ago?

Disagree. Whiteside got the better of him in the last meeting in Detroit last year. Drummond got the better of him in game #1 and this game tonight
