2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Bloody Brian Burke]

well right now it is--- all they have to do is beat the Blazers and Nuggets who should be their only competition- but blowing up your team and expecting it to run smoothly with , what? 35 games to go? not the easiest thing in the world to do.

it seems like they are going to make more deals too- now Terrence Jones is on the block and i expect him to be dealt for more back court help- if that is possible.

I dont think this deal was made for THIS year. lets just say that.

you really think they make the playoffs this year?

I kind of think the Nuggets will hold onto that spot as Jokic is playing amazing ball and it seems that team has gelled.

I don't know if they make the playoffs - shit, maybe Boogie was the problem and the Kings make it (no, the Kings are fucked but you get what I mean) - but if what the Kings really wanted was a sure-thing lottery pick they didn't make a deal for one. They may have guaranteed the 14th pick, that's really the only sure thing they have in that pick.

That would be hilarious

I'm putting $20 on the Pelicans winning the championship.

That would be hilarious

I would literally shit myself, I'd have to wear a diaper around the rest of the playoffs.

I just went and checked to see how much it would be on Bovada, and they don't even have the Pelicans as an option. They must have taken them off to figure out what the line should be.

365 has them at +12500.

I gotta go to a fucking work function for lunch today, free food, but I have to hear everyone bitch at each other about their lives and wives.

i HATE hearing people complain at work. one of the assistants i have to work with a lot bitches and complains every time i talk to her and i really dont want to hear it at all...she is the assistant to the partner i do a majority of my work for and i cant ask her a simple question without her going into some loosely connected diatribe about how under appreciated she is

it would be hilarious if the Pels got the 8 seed and used Cousins and Davis- 2 of the best big men in the game- to just slow the game down and throttle GSW on the inside- get all the rebounds etc.

i mean who on GSW guards cousins OR davis? obviously the pels defense has little to no chance of stoppping the warriors--- but using those 2 guys to massacre the warriors in the paint would be interesting.

I mean- who on GSW guards those 2 guys?---

Some dumbass in here will say Draymond, but the answer is no one.

@Bolts

Nothing really to say, so maybe this will make things better.
I'd send you some if you'd like.

I highly doubt anyone would say Draymond can guard Cousins/Davis in the low post.

 

[bksballer89]

Also if you look at Cousins numbers vs the Warriors this season, he has really struggled big time. Avg 20 and 8 on 41% shooting which is awful for a big man.

Didn't mean to say in here, meant to just say someone somewhere.

Got it

Got it

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Soooo....if it was ever in doubt it is no longer. The Kings are the shittiest franchise, not the Clippers.

 

[Vyle203]

Fuck you, how about that?

 

[WiggyRuss]

Who has a better chance of being in the All Star game this year?

Love or Whiteside?

 

[Black Adam]

And lose in 5.....

yeah, not happening THIS season, but it sure gave the LeClown fans a small uptick in their hope-ometer...
