2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[knowyourenemy]

I've been really impressed with Zubac. If he continues to develop, the Lakers could really have something. Imo, he could end up being better than Vucevic who I was hoping the Lakers would get awhile back.

Am I the only one that thinks Vucevic kind of sucks? Don't get me wrong, he puts up some great numbers and he's got certain skills that are very valuable. I'm just not sure I ever see him as the starting center on a good team.

Suns surprise me cause i thought they would be better then last year, not worse, god damn.

They have so many young guys.

Might be time to thin the herd.

I think Booker is the only untouchable on the roster.

But, Chriss has shown promise and Bledsoe has been outstanding.

I think they need to follow the Lakers lead and bench all the veterans, except Bledsoe.

It's time to see if Len can be a starter or if they need to get rid of him.

You obviously don't know adams background. It would not be a fight.

I guess not. But Draymond would be all up in his nuts.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Just like Durant, come in after the players that already won a championship without him won the game and nail a 3. Great job.

You sure you're not bitter?
You saying Durant didn't play a huge part in this win?

Yeah, back in the day kicking someone in the nuts would have gotten you straight up knocked the fuck out.

 

[thunderc]

He had a part sure, if he's on the Thunder then they win the game so yeah of course he had a part.

 

[thunderc]

Wouldn't hurt anyones feelings I don't think if the Thunder slipped to the 8 see, but they won't.

He shouldn't be a #1 nor #2.

With Fournier missing so many games, Payton being a horrific shooter, he has to be the co #1 option along with Ibaka.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Oh.
I thought you were implying that his shot was just icing on the cake that he didn't help bake.

One things for certain, Durant ain't getting the best steak in town after the game.

 

[RobToxin]

These two games in Texas are just brutal!

Dallas and Houston are winning by a combined 60 + points.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

What???
Fans other then Miami leave early?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I went back to find this. I agree about sitting him the rest of the season -- but I hope this doesn't mean they're going to move even more cautiously with Simmons. Simmons needs to play. I'm just sad that we'll probably never get to see Simmons and Okafor working together.

I think Simmons might sit out.

Not because he's hurt.

But, because his camp probably wants him to win rookie of the year and so that they can get one more top 3 pick.

I'd love to see them land Fultz or Ball.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I'll bet they just fly out tonight, regardless of time.

Durant would be wise to not eat anything prepared by an OKC restaurant tonight.

Yeah no shit.

Some shameful shit.

Orlando has to fire their GM.

It's time to retcon that dumpster fire.

Vucevic is very young. If he bulks up it could help him tremendously, hes very skilled. His disposition is that of a pass first kind of guy and as @Mecca pointed out, who the hell can shoot on that team?

 

[msgkings322]

Yeah no shit.

Ever seen the movie "Waiting"? That shit is real. Hilarious movie by the way.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Durant would be wise to not eat anything prepared by an OKC restaurant tonight.

If he can get into one.

I think it's kinda trollish that he tried to rent out the steakhouse he knows is reserved for Westbrook and Olidipo after every home game.

Glad they told him hell to the no.....twice.
