2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

Yeah man, it sucks. I'm focusing on the long-term. The short-term is enough to drive you to drink. Honestly, Miami football in college and the pros has been helping me through this. When football's over I may sound like a whiny bitch.

Yeah I have no idea how I'm going to survive the winter dog days with only Heat basketball. February and March will be tough. Waiting for baseball season

I'm a Marlins fan.....I'm fucked until August. Although there were rumblings about Loria putting the team up for sale.....at $1.7 billion. So there's that.

Had no idea this happened

Bulls bench Rajon Rondo for entire second half; Rondo says he's not surprised

Times like this is when i wish i was a hockey fan. Could make the winter not feel so depressing with the struggles of the Heat

 

[trojanfan12]

Yeah I was kinda surprised I woke up this morning to see they were defeated.

Dallas got hot and the kids didn't know how to stop it. Part of the learning process.

 

[bksballer89]

Like father, like son: Clippers' Doc and Austin Rivers get ejected against Rockets

you can post whatever you want- im just telling you it comes off as little more than bitter grapes and whining when you bitch about the refs.

No it doesn't. This shit from you is beyond old. The next time you take someone's post out of context, you won't be posting in this thread anymore.

 

[trojanfan12]

That missed travel was hilarious. I'm a Heat fan but Hassan clearly traveled lol

There you go...whining about the refs again.

"As expected, opposing teams are consistently daring him to shoot from beyond the arc and his inability to make them pay is hurting Chicago's spacing. The Bulls' backcourt defense is a catastrophe. So is the fact that they're dead last in 3-pointers made and attempted by significant margins."

If only someone would've called this. Oh wait.....

Is it me or do you think delonte west when you see Tyler J make a move on Lebron's mom.

this was part of an article from ESPN that i thought was disheartening- I watched the first half of that game and went to sleep- and was a little surprised the Lakers not only blew that lead- which wasnt that big in the first place- only 7 points--- the thing i was most surprised about was only scoring 32 points on your home floor in the 2nd half against a defense as bad as the Mavs- especially after how the offense looked pretty good in the first half...

Lakers hit low point, blowing a lead and losing to the Mavericks

"the 12-24 Lakers have lost 14 of their past 16 games and are now tied for the most losses in the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers. But most startling, the hideous defeat showed how the Lakers no longer are making tangible progress while enduring losses that should act as learning opportunities. If anything, they’re going backward, which is saying something for a team that few expected anything from anyway.

Too often of late, the Lakers devolve into hero ball rather than zipping the ball around the court, as they did earlier this season when their success made them NBA’s biggest surprise."


i think the main culprit on that is Russell- he needs to improve A. his shot selection- if he does that his 39% shooting should naturally rise a few points. and B. his turnover to assist ratio- right now he has 4.6 assists and 3.0 turnovers a game- for a 1.6 A/TO ratio....thats really really low and not atypical for a young kid- what it comes down to is it looks like the league has adjusted a little to him- and he is going to have to adjust back.

Better hope that Ohio St. doesn't perform the same as every other Big 10 team this bowl season sans Minnesota. It was embarrassing how much more speed FSU had compared to Michigan.

 

[bksballer89]

Going to miss Ohio State vs Clemson. Pretty disappointing. I wish CFB would not have playoffs games on new years eve

Always forget you're on the west coast but yeah im going to some new years eve event that starts at 8 here in NYC. Open bar for 5 or 6 hours so not going to see any of that game

Doing something different this year. We're doing a 5k in Portland around 10pm then hitting up bars afterwards.

Happy New Years dude.
