2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[bksballer89]

I honestly think LeBron believes that, as far as just Curry goes, they play different positions and hardly ever guard each other.

But when he said that the Warrios/Cavs wasn't a rivalry, he was full of shit.

You don't play a team in the finals 2 straight years, play against each other in the biggest regular season games of the year and not form some sort of rivalry

Yeah agree. I didn't get why he was scared to admit that yes this team is my current rival. You played them in the last 2 NBA finals Both teams won once.

 

[TJL]

Well, we are fans of all the same teams, so I accept. Plus it could be worst, at least you're not a gator fans. I refuse to associate with THOSE people.

Ugh, one of my best pals is a huge Gaytors fan, and my only friend that is a girl (no I'm not friendzoned), went to UF and actually has one of Ahmad Black's 27 kids.

lol, you got your dildo out again?

Forgot to charge the batteries .

So the Clippers return from the ASB with a B2B set against the Warriors and Spurs lmao

Yeah, I get a lot of odd looks to people not from Florida when I discuss the three-way rivalry. FSU and UM, hate each but in a respectful way. FSU and UM both absolutely hate UF in just about every facet.

Miami/FSU had a brutal rivalry in the 90s, but it's been simmer ever since Miami moved to the ACC, I root for a Miami/FSU ACC championship every year, and we almost got it a few years back, but Golden decided to remove them from the game as a self punishment to ease the sanctions.

It's picked up as of late, I felt bad for Miami this year, that game really turned their whole season around, they had an extremely solid group and Kaaya is a great QB, but that loss was demoralizing and took them a while to regroup.

I almost don't even see UF as a rival anymore, it's an easy win, they don't have the gameplan or players to beat FSU like Miami does.

The only team the last 4 or 5 years that I actually despise, and almost cry when we lose, is Clemson, I got plastered this year after that loss. I was pulling hard for Bama in the national championship.

I have a soft spot in my heart for Clemson. They're the reason we got Richt and were responsible for Golden getting fired. A few contingent of Canes fans (idiots) argued that we were making progress and should give him more time given NCAA investigation he had to go through. Getting beat 58-0 in year 5 at Miami eliminates any argument.

But yea, FSU still laid the pipe down in recruiting this season. They're going to be a hard team to beat this season.

All ego, LeBron's gotta feel like the most important guy in the room at all times.

The only time he didnt' feel that way, unfortunately, was the '11 finals when he basically asked Wade to win him a championship while he bricks jump shots.

My good friend, who was an insider for Hurricanes football, was really high on Golden, right up until the beginning of his 4th year, at the point he had enough. He wanted Butch Davis bad though, not Richt.

Speaking of, the state of Florida right now, has the greatest culmination of coaches for a state in college football history.

The only reason, and I mean only reason, I'm watching the AS game tomorrow, is to see if punches get thrown between KD/Brook.

I may even skip the dunk contest and such tonight due to Fedor fighting on the Bellator card.

I want to see Kerr put Gasol, Boogie, Jordan, Anthony Davis on the court together with Draymond at the point.

Personally, I'm not a fan of McElwain. The guys supposed to be an offensive guru, yet his offenses have looked like utter trash for the 2nd year in a row. On top of that, their recruiting class is all secondary players because they always sell DBU. Muschamp did a lot of things wrong at UF, but he did build up an elite defense which will take a major step back with all of the guys they just lost. Also, you forgot to put Strong on that list.

I was okay with Butch over Golden until Richt became available. Going with Butch would've been reaching back in the past which seldom works out. It's all about moving forward.

Can't believe I forgot Strong lol, they play their games right down the road.

He's under. I messaged him to meet up for an "ice cream" but when I got there I met this guy instead...

 

[larryjohn]

To avoid any awkward moments during the game Kerr should seriously think about benching Westbrook.

I'd expect him to do the opposite. Let Leonard, Harden, Russ all play >40 minutes. The Warrior guys play about 10 each.
