Na. Its Atlanta vs New England IMO

 

[DJ Fieri]

Happy New Year, NBA'ers!!!!

 

[DJ Fieri]

They have to start over. Clearly not working in Atlanta. Millsap makes it interesting if he goes to the Raptors if they don't have to give a shit ton for him.

They are the 5th seed and 2 games out of the 3rd seed. Bit early for doom and gloom.

53, 16, and 17 is such a ridiculous stat line. I didn't think you'd see it anywhere outside of an NBA 2k game set on rookie. Harden was phenomenal tonight.

And its been mentioned here before but damn, those black Houston unis are nice. So clean.

He's the MVP. I don't even think James has posted a a sick stat line like that.

Couple things:

Don't sleep on the Giants or Packers making the SB.....both are playing lights out. And the Giants seem to have the Cowboys number.

The Chiefs and Steelers could both give the Pats fits and win.

Remember, it's rarely the favorites you think as the postseason starts.....there always seems to be a wrench or 2 thrown into the mix.

We're almost halfway through the regular season and you guys are still on the first reg season thread. Football season is almost over and I'll be here FT but damn......I gotta put in the yeoman effort? Really, guys? And um, certain dark chocolate ladies....

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Because he is a free agent and is not looking to re-sign with them. Makes sense rather than lose him for nothing in July.

He's smart to opt out of his 21M for next season based on the new level of salary craziness.
I have no clue what cash the Hawks have available, but it's def a smart business decision to try to not lose him while getting nothing in return.

well, i'm sure you won't mind if i simply don't take your word fot it and watch the playoffs anyhow, right...?

I'm new - and am hoping I can learn something about the NBA teams and players from you experts so I can climb the leaderboards in my FireFan league I did okay - #2 - in the NFL league but I don't know nothing about basketball Hoping you guys will help me out!!!!

Kay Felder with some nice contributions with Irving out htese last two games...impressed with the kid....5/6 for 13 points, 2 steals, 2 assists vs. Charlotte, and then tonight - thus far 12 points on 6/11 shooting 2 assists....

pretty decent....

Felder, Jefferson and Frye all had nice games...the Cavs bench has looked pretty solid considering they have had to step up lately.


LeBron James just dominated down the stretch ehre though- Love barely playing being sick....Thompson/McRae and Liggins COMBINE for 8 points in the starting lineup..

i think - even though its against a bad team- this was one of LeBrons guttiest performances of the season thus far....no Kyrie, Love sick- 8 points from 3/5's of your starting lineup.....LeBron just played a great game.

 

[WiggyRuss]

and as i said- you gotta give Felde,r Jefferson and Frye credit...the clowns that criticize the Cavs bench just becuase they dont have prolific scoring totals on a nightly basis are idiots....you arent gonna have a ton of bench points to go around when you have 3 guys scoring 75 points a night.

on nights like tonight though - when they get shot opportunities and minutes due to injuries- you can see that the Cavs bench has some very nice pieces...you can def. do a lot worse



Cavs were 6/31 from 3--- had an awful shooting night, missing Kyrie, missing JR, Love was sick...and they find a way to win--- the greatness of LeBron.

 

[WiggyRuss]

two of my favorite young player si nthe league- Julius Randle and Jabari Parker

2016-17 Regular Season NBA Player Stats and League Leaders - Assists - National Basketball Association - ESPN

among PF's they are 5th and 8th in Assists per game- respectively--- thats impressive for young guys.

As for Lakers PF's- Thomas Robinson continues to impress---- sometimes these lotto picks bloom late....i would give this kid every opportunity becuase he has looked very good in the minutes he has gotten.....

Yep what a game. Topped FSU/Michigan as the best bowl game. I have no idea what the PSU QB saw on that INT.

Congrats

Jimmy Butler is carrying the Bulls to victory tonight without D-Wade. 47,11, and 6 for Jimmy. Bulls about to finish off the Hornets.

Young kid trying to make a play and it blew up on him.

Yep. Must throw it away there and take your chances in OT

Agree. This game was kind of a no lose for me. Obviously, I'm glad USC won. But Penn St. has always been my 2nd favorite college team. When I was young and dreaming of getting a football scholarship, I had USC #1 and PSU #2.

Unfortunately, I learned in junior college that college teams don't need 6'2" 180 pound defensive ends. lol
