2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

Don't let Mecca see that comment. Although I wonder what direct they will go in the off season.

It'll be ok, she's not in denial about her team. And I don't know what they're gonna do but they need to make a change because Doc can't seem to get them over the hump. This is similar to the Warriors & Mark Jackson.

Just for @Mecca

Butt hurt Houston sports radio personality after last night's game:

Clippers are 3-1 on the Season against the Jazz.

So, I think the Clippers win in 6.

Our choke jobs don't materialize until the 2nd round.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Clipps loose to the Jazz in the first round.

They are not losing to the Jazz.

If it was the 2nd round, I'd be concerned.

Yeah I think Doc's time in Clipperville will be coming to an end. If they would make a caching change wonder who'd they go after.

I got the Clippers getting swept outta the 1st round in 3.

Who is the greatest player in any sport who has never made it to the championship semifinals??

I'm thinking Chris Paul will be up there.

What do you mean?

Free agency?

I'd put the odds of keeping Paul and Blake at 75%.

Both have indicated they are returning for a max deal.

JJ is gone.

Maybe in a sign and trade to the Knicks with others to match salary.

Doc should be removed from his Executive position.

But, he won't.

Jammin' Jimmer Fredette.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Well you might have a point if this were the first time they beat the Cavs...but when they've beaten them in consecutive games & then add to that your star player usually picks these games to rest some gotta wonder.

the Bulls beat the Cavs all 4 games they played this year.

You think the Bulls would beat the Cavs if they played in a playoff series?

The Cavs got beat badly by the Warriors both times they played last year during the regular season. What happened there?


please...try and at least have a legitimate argument that goes into more than regular season record- which means about zippo when that ball is thrown up i nthe playoffs.

Hmmmmmm....

I think Chris is/was a good talent.

But, I don't put him in the conversation as "great ".

He's not a transcendent talent...imo

He rates lower than Bad Boys Isiah Thomas, who I rate as the floor for greatness.

I agree.

If the Clips dont have a good showing in this years playoffs its time for someone else to get a chance instead of Doc.

I think Doc is a solid coach for a veteran team- but he just hasnt done a good job with the Clippers.

 

[Wamu]

What do you mean?

I don't know.

Just thought of Dominique Wilkins.

Pretty sure he never made it to the conf finals.

 

[Wamu]

Yes. And by double digits each game.

I just looked his #'s up right before you posted this comment. He made to the semifinals a couple of times but that was it.

In terms of players who have never been out of the 2nd round, though, its hard to find anyone better.

He is a shit executive too.

I don't think he gets fired this year, even when they choke, unless Paul wants him gone.

Next Summer is a different story.

Yeah, he made it to the conference semis.

But in the NBA, you gotta make it to the conf finals to be in the championship semis.

Welp, we shall see but I wouldn't be surprised is all I'm saying.

Lavar Ball once beat Dominique Wilkins in a slam dunk contest.
