2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[TurnUpTheHeat]

"You put my numbers up and just don't put a face up there I feel like the (voting) numbers would be different," said Whiteside, who dropped to 11th among Eastern Conference frontcourt players in voting released last week.

"Just my honest opinion. I feel like if you put a blackout screen and just put my numbers up there people (would say), 'Oh, man, how is he not an All-Star?' I feel like that's what it is. Who likes who."

But why does Whiteside feel that way? Is it because of Miami's poor record?

"I feel like it's a. ... I don't really know," he said. "It's one of those things I don't really know. I don't get caught up in that. I'm trying to get more wins for these guys. I get the All-Star questions, I know you all like to run with that story. There's nothing I can do as far as being an All-Star."



ill help you understand it Mr. Blancote--- the coaches in the league just dont think your numbers translate to being a good basketball player thath elps your team win. Its not often you see the guy leading the league in rebounds and blocks not make the all star team. There is a VERY VERY Good reason for it.

Right, they just offer max contacts (6 teams) to players they don't think are very good.

Funny how you ignore the recent article from yesterday about how ineffective your man Drummond is.

Whiteside is dominating and leading the Heat to very good wins these days.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Yep very poor article. I mean common sense should tell you that he's not chasing blocks since his blocks per game are at a career low.

Also that article was written over a month ago back when the Heat were 11-30

And he was playing with a different rotation most every night.

i think there are a few guys more deserving than Anthony- Bradley Beale being the main one. It surprises me a guy avergaging 22 a game that has really improved this year on the 3 seed didnt make it as a replacement.

really, Anthony, Beale, and whoever else technically- none of them "deserved" to make it and if Love didnt get hurt we wouldnt even be having this conversation.

I'll simply.
Already A Wizard there.
NY is largest TV market in NBA.
Adding Melo will add X amount of viewers?

 

[Kold]

Good game Laker Fans!!!!!!!!

Same here, we just caught you guys up in the loss column for the lottery. Sounds like a win-win to me

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I'm talking during the voting process.
Not once did I say Whiteside should make it.

I said he's more deserving then Melo as far as play (after Love injury), but I totally get why they chose Anthony.

He does deserve to be in the conversation.

1. Beal

2. Whiteside

Look, we can't have it both ways.

If Cousin's is a Allstar on a losing team, Whiteside could be too.

Kemba Walker, Allstar.

Miami has a better record.

 

[WiggyRuss]

1. Beal

2. Whiteside

hey- if kemba and cousins etc. were left off the all star team i would have hadno problem with it...towns was left off and his numbers are BONKERS.

im just saying you have VERY little ground to stand on when you play on a crappy team getting passed over when guys like beale- who are playing great and contributing to WINNING teams arent making it. it comes off as sour-grapes and whining.

Gobert? if he complained- i would get it?

whiteside?-- maybe be better than 10th in the crappy East.

Wiggy will have it as many ways as it takes to make himself look as dumb as possible.

Agree.

But, he didn't get passed over by Beale

He got passed over by Melo...who is on a losing Team.

As for Towns, he should have been in over Deandre...imo

How good were the Cavs when James first became an all star?

You're talking to a clown. You must remember that.

BTW your Clippers are doing solid since Blake returned. I like their chances of keeping that 4 slot.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

He is pulling a Mecca.

* Yes, it's Douche to refer to myself in the 3rd person *

If there is a reasonable alternative to giving Kobe credit, I'm taking it every time...lol

But, I'm honest in my haterism.

You aren't grasping it.
Whiteside is on the Heat, therefore he's DQ'd by Wiggy.

Yeah, Blake is stepping up.

If we could get Gallo, I'd be ecstatic.

But, I wouldn't be upset if we ended up with PJ Tucker.

Not sure how that would work considering he slapped the piss out of Blake a few seasons back.

 

[trojanfan12]

It is absurd.

They were dying in the studio because these Dude's just go way off script.

They are just flagrantly derelict in their broadcasting duties.

Yeah. I don't even mind when broadcasters go off script a bit. Vin Scully used to do it a lot during Dodgers games, the late, great Chick Hearn would do the same during Lakers games. But they always managed to bring it back to the game or tie it to the game.

With Walton and Vitale, they go off script for a bit and then...they go farther off script.

I heard an interview with Dave Pasch (the 3rd guy last night and Walton's usual broadcast partner) who said that in his first broadcast with Walton, he let him get away with murder (he was a bit in awe of having an HOF'er as partner) and got a call from Mike Tirico after the game who said: "You have GOT to reel him in sometimes." lol

I know..lol

The logic behind his theory is blown to shit when you remember Cousins made it over Aldridge.


Spurs are crushing, Kings are floundering.

Dude actually said he was heading to the bar after that shit show.

They had those two on the 6 before the game.

They didn't answer a single question from the hosts and just hijacked the interview from beginning to end.

Yep dude is a joke

Nbatv is having a dunk contest marathon.

As much as I love Lavine, Damn Gordon got robbed.

 

[knowyourenemy]

I'm still pissed that Ben Simmons didn't make the All-Star team. No respect.
