2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[msgkings322]

Too be fair, you're not playing against NBA competition across the board in the olympics. It's a lot easier to look in sync with one another when you have a significant talent advantage against teams not Spain.

But then I'm like, hey it'd be kinda cool to have another "superteam". Let's see it.

Kyle Korver seems to be fitting into his groove after some early hiccups.....that was fun to watch last night- Korver just raining triples from the outside.

he made it look easy....season high 29 for Korver.




sounds like Irving/Bron/Love are all going to sit tonight. I would think Shumpert is still out too - its gonna be a very very small pool of avaliable players tonight.

Did Oakley post bail yet or what?

Hot Clicks: Oakley released from jail after arrest

Out of jail just after you posted. Heck - I am guessing that they probably catered his stay in jail & gave him whatever he wanted during his short stay. Oakley went a bit too far with his reaction, but the Knicks ownership sure comes out looking really bad after this one.

There will be some very good fanduel values!

I guess Cavs best way to end talk that Love/Kyrie cant win without James is to eliminate the opportunity.

I'd say both of them (Oak and Dolan) just look like idiots...

One fan, Andrew Hurst, who was sitting several rows behind Oakley, told the Daily News the former Knick, "Clearly looked wasted."

"One-hundred percent. And he was definitely upset about something," Hurst said. "He was shoving some security guards, some guy in an orange tie. And then he fell to the ground for like 15 seconds. And when he got back up, you could (see) he was just agitated at everything. He started pushing everybody, and then he started pushing security real hard, people to the ground. And that’s when 10 people kind of jumped in and he started freaking out."

Thank god for Duke/UNC

The big Cavs pickup is Derrick Williams

Sources: Cavs to sign Derrick Williams to 10-day contract

I'm no big Melo fan or defender, but the Knicks shitfest is on the hands of Phil, not Melo.

I think if Cavs added him while keeping their current Big 3, a series vs Warriors is basically a toss up.

So the Knicks weren't a shitfest before Phil got there? Has anything Phil said about Melo been false?

Melo doesn't have the winning mentality it takes to win. Phil is right.

Melo is weak and he is not a team player at all. Doesn't play any defense. And he's supposed to be the leader. Who's gonna follow that?

 

[SJ76]

Phil is trying to do 2 things.

Piss off Carmelo so bad that he finally turns it up a notch and finds that killer instinct.

Or if he stays "Mello" - run his ass out of town.


"You can't change the spots on a leopard"

Melo is a cancer plain and simple.

 

[SJ76]

Pretty sad when a retired Knick for more than 15 years cares more about the Knicks winning than Melo does.

If Melo had half the heart of Charles Oakley he'd be a beast.

I said I'm no Melo fan or defender, but Phil has made 1 bad move after another since the day he was hired.
Yep, they were bad before Phil, but he took the job and a ton of cash to fix it.

It's Melos fault he's now surrounded with Rose and Noah?

Clippers are hot buttered garbage.

And a certain somebody here argued they would remain at the 3 seed without sliding.

Kobe is gone, it's ok to switch over.

I can't find anything that says the Cavs are sitting players but Cleveland is +7.5 tonight. Anyone else find anything?

shit they need the bodies right now

ill take Williams on a 10 day contract. I thought that was an underated signing by Miami in the offseason- looks like it just didnt work out there.

I'm sure there is more to come and hopefully he gets cut and signed after the 10 days lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

It's just Derrick Williams doesn't really help them. He isn't good at anything. It is only a 10 day so no worries.

He sucks.

 

[WiggyRuss]

He sucks.

please- i can find posts from you early in the season wondering why he isnt playing more- right alongside other posts saying Waitersi s what he is and you dont want him long term.

no one is expecting him to be much more than a warm body i would assume.

Yeah then he got his opportunity and was bad. I made those post very early in the season. Ended up getting his chance due to injuries and couldn't even get minutes over freaking Luke Babbitt
