2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

All lies.

Not really, as said yesterday, all of us Heat fans have had tons of fun watching this team.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I didn't see the bet, what was it?

Isaid the Heat would not sign any of the top 7 free agents- any of the elite ones

Curry, Durant, CP3, Griffin, Heyward, Milsap, Kyle Lowry

that no one wants to go to the Heat- that you signed Ellington and Waiters for a reason- no one wanted them. No one wants to go to a team where they cant win- especially when PLENTy of other options are avaliable that offer much better chances at winning.

that you will be lucky if you get a 2nd or 3rd tier guy like a Gallinari or an Ibaka -- or if you are REALLY lucky a REddick.


if any one of those 7 elite guys choose the Heat- ill self-impose a 1 week suspension, 1 month avatar bet on top of that ,and give you 2k in SportsHoopla cash.

if i win- i get to pick your avatar for 2 weeks and you give me 500 in SportsHoopla cash.

if you dont want ot take the bet - i completely understand- i know as well as you the Heat arent signingany major free agent anytime soon.

i dont doubt it.

it can be liberating watching a team with no expectations.

I was actually one of the few fans that had high expectations this year, I was expecting a 4th or 5th seed.

there is a thin line between confidence and homerism- believe me, i tread it often--- and i think that might have just been crossing the line.

Need the Suns and Wolves to get wins tonight.

so wait- you have had "tons of fun" watching this team even though they have severely fell short of your expectations? is that not a smidge contradictory?

 

[WiggyRuss]

maybe the Wolves....but the Suns? hahahahahaha...

the Suns are pulling off a real professional tank job.

Wolves play at home vs OKC without Westbrook, they "should" win.
The Suns play the Kings and just won 2 straight. I'm not exactly optimistic about their chances of winning, but the Kings could possibly out tank them.

Well after the first few weeks of the season I thought we were headed to a top 3 pick, I was talking about my pre-season expectations.


After the first month, no way in hell did I think we'd be in line for a playoff spot.

 

[Bolts]

Just saw that Devin Booker is expected to miss the game, damn you Suns!

[Wamu]

Already looking forward to the Thunder/Rockets series. I think that's gonna be a good one.

When you've been elite for a long time, and a guy who's only been elite for 2-3 years comes and is put above you on rankings list, of course you're going to be pissed.

I don't think anyone puts Curry above LeBron (wouldn't be surprised if someone did), but people do put him above Chris Paul which is absolutely fucking stupid.
