2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

And I don't give a fuck what you think. I know what happened and I know how much of a little bitch Durant is.

Funny that someone having a meltdown on a message board is criticizing someone for being weak minded and "a little bitch." I don't want to see you when Durant hoists the Larry O'Brien trophy in a few months.

 

[msgkings322]

They hate him because he couldn't be a man and tell them what he was doing, that's why. They thought he was something he wasn't, just like the fans did. I'm telling you that is why the fans and players are so pissed, he was too much of a bitch to be honest with anyone. All the bullshit about not being able to get out of bed for 2 days, yeah that's being a little bitch.

Would you really feel that much differently if he told them what he was doing, and did the same thing?

I can already see the little bitch hoisting it up, it's happening. So what, really won't mean shit joining a team that didn't need him. Really the biggest bitch move in the history of the league.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

He's projecting. The players don't hate Durant, he does. I'm sure they are plenty pissed at Durant and rightly so.

I could see pissed, internally, because him leaving elimated their chances of winning.
Still a business though, and they all understand that.

I can guarantee you Russell Westbrook would.

 

[thunderc]

I repeat, this is a different game with Kanter.

Yeah but being a fan is not a business. I got no problem with fans being pissed when a hero leaves. But that doesn't make those fans correct with all the names they call the players. Just because you're mad doesn't make Durant any less of a player or a man.

You seem to know these players intimately. I asked about you.

I don't think That's HATE.

I think that's HURT.

He should have manned up and called to tell Russ he was leaving.

Other than that, he has a right to work and live where he wants.

No me being mad, which I'm really not, has nothing to do with it. It's his actions that make him less of a man, as well as a lesser competitor. He certainly is not a lesser player though.

We're all entitled to our opinions.

You are assuming that it was an easy, already made decision for him.
If I recall, he didn't drag it out for very long.

In comparison, look how James handled it, twice.

I would feel differently if he hadn't given every indication that he was staying, yes. And then there is the stuff that he doesn't want to talk about when he called out Lebron for going to win on someone elses team.

 

[knowyourenemy]

Doesn't anyone want to talk about how the 76ers just ended Miami's 13-game winning streak . . . without Embiid? That Embiid is out with a tear in his meniscus? That Okafor was a healthy scratch and rumor is that he's being dealt . . . probably to New Orleans? That, if Embiid is shut down for the rest of the season, Dario Saric is quietly making a case for Rookie of the Year? That the 76ers have somehow evaded giving any indication of when Ben Simmons will return?

C'mon people. These are interesting times.

He is laughably sensitive.

I mean, he stayed in bed for two days after he decided to leave.

But, he has a right to do what's best for him.

 

[msgkings322]

Warriors tensing up now. Iguodala in particular is a liability. I'd put JaVale back in.

 

[Kold]

Agreed, but how do you spend so much time with those guys and go to war and now have this happen unless you were a fake little bitch the whole time?

Combination of him actually caring about those guys and wanting so much for things to remain cool even though he left, while STILL wanting to torch em on the court. Basically, he's sensitive

 

[Inimical]

Good lord the suns suck.

I posted about Embiid and Okafor a few pages back.

Even if he sits out the remainder of the year, his only competition for rookie of the year is Brogodon.

Klay Thompson saving their ass.
