2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

I'm guessing you haven't watched the Mavs recently.

I was just gonna say... well, they took down the Spurs last night.

 

[gordontrue]

some of Irving's moves were just disgusting.

Mavs been playing .500 basketball since their 6-20 start. Just came off a big win in San Antonio last night. Cavs should win but I doubt it will be as easy as you're making it seem. Cavs played them in November when they were playing extremely poorly. I think they were 2-12 entering that game.

Who would've guessed Seth would be the first Curry to lead his team to a win over the Spurs this year.

24 pts, 10 reb, 5 ast from Seth last night.

It feels that way the way the regular season is going, but the playoffs really are different. The Warriors have some ungodly streak of never losing back to back games in the regular season. Last year's playoffs it happened multiple times.

Warriors are the favorite but the Spurs and Cavs both have very good chances vs them.

Year after year the Clips still manage to fumble the ball in the playoffs. And the bolded is what I alluded to.

Hey @Mecca just realized your Clippers are hosting the Dubs on Thursday. I'm thinking they only lose by 30

* orders case of Grey Goose *

I'll be busy praying.

i was talkingabout the Mavs playing better basketball of late as evidenced by their 49 point destruction they put on the Lakers the other day

if the Cavs absorbed Crawford into their trade exception for Varejao it would probably add about 60 million to the teams overall payroll/tax load.

Do you think he'd be worth it?

 

[WiggyRuss]

Do you think he'd be worth it?

60M for Crawford, when they already have Jr and Korver?--- def. not.

that would choke them out from doing anything else for years to come.

its not even possible anyway, the Varejao trade exception is too small to accomodate Crawford...i checked....only way they could get crawford is if they sent back "comparable" money.

are you happy the Heat are winning?

Ecstatic

Could have been a completely different game if RW was better than 7-26 from the field today though.

Shhh....we're not allowed to talk about RW's inefficiency around here. Only that he's the triple double king of the league.

I was just gonna say... well, they took down the Spurs last night.

What is going on with the Spurs? I think they should've had TD coming off the bench last season in order to get LA acclimated sooner.

Can't lie, I thought they were the Warriors biggest competition last year.

Lmfao....poor Melo.

And the Los Angeles Lakers are no longer in the kowtowing-to-the-aging-superstar business.
