2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

Might be a blessing in disguise.

Most def. Draft is loaded, and who knows how the ping pong balls will bounce

Bucks over Raptors in 6
Hawks over Wizards in 6
Jazz will push the Clippers to 7 games.

That's my first round upsets.

I don't see the Bucks winning that series, Hawks maybe, but I doubt that too.

Never seen Spo like this ever. Shows you how much he truly loved this group. The bad thing about professional sports is that no matter how much you love the group you have, you can never keep that same group of guys together for the following season. I can tell this was his favorite group of players to coach.

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah disappointing. I honestly think this is the most disappointed I've been at the end of a Heat season since dallas beat us in the finals. Really wanted these boys to make the finals. They really deserved it imo

Obviously didn't mean make the finals lol. Meant to say playoffs

Wow Bucks in 6? I like

Selfishly I'm super happy you guys didn't get in, which is a compliment.

I feel like we would have gave you boys hell had we got in especially since it seems like Waiters was really close to returning. Would have been a 6 or 7 game series IMO.

Who here thinks Cavs fans like @WiggyRuss aren't praying for a Warrior player injury?

Yea it could've been a war. I'm happy to avoid it, though I have zero confidence in the Celts to beat anybody really. I just want to get out of the first ffs. Please God.

No team would have had a short series vs healthy Heat.

Not that this has anything to do with anything at the moment.....but anybody else thinks there's a chance that Paul George receives some all nba votes just based on the fact that people don't want to cost him 70 million? There's alot riding on this, not just for the Pacers, but for other teams as well, and while Paul George is deserving, I don't believe that he should get in

I was thinking the same thing.

That's why I let it go.

 

[Bolts]

Kings are playing too well so far, need the Clippers to build on this lead.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

That whole scenario is stupid.
Writers votes shouldn't make or cost a player 70M.
1st team all NBA is much, much harder to make then 3rd team where votes are more split.

Wizards, Clippers, Cavs, Raptors, Rockets in 6.

Spurs, Warriors in 5.

I have no idea about the Bulls vs. Celtics.

I like the bulls in that series

Even without Durant, I can name 6 guys that were reasonably better this Season.

More than that if we count Anthony Davis.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

2009 redux. Lots of craziness and tomfoolery = 7 games.

 

[Mecca]

Kawhi, LeBron - First Team

Freak, Durant -Second Team

Butler, Draymond/Hayward/Paul-3rd Team

...that's only if Davis is counted as a Center.

If he's a Forward, George is fucked.

 

[Bolts]

Jazz win, Clippers need to win now to get HCA.
