2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Heatles84]

i know. Raab is banned from the Q i believe. at least i think i read that somewhere....the guy is a fat pig, but hes pretty hilarious. i dont think he even wrote for cleveland sports pages or anything--- he like writes for esquire or something- or at least did. hes from akron

What pisses me off about the guy is they had him on a documentary - don't know if it was done by ESPN or another outlet. But I remember him talking about the book then you see him with his kid at a viewing party of game 7. When Lebron gave his speech at the Finals MVP presentation, you could tell Raab was just eating up every word of it and would've swallowed it if it came in the form of Lebron's semen.

It's not that the guy wrote the book - even though it came off as really bad sour grapes - it's that he did a complete 180. If you don't like Lebron and stand by your book, then whatever. But the fact that he's probably willing to have Lebron's baby batter all over his face at the chance of another title makes him pathetic.

Now, we have conflicting reports. Either way, this trade is horrible too.

Tyreke who is just an average player in this league and Hield, who know how he will pan and future picks. What a joke lol

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Ive heard the other side where its reported that teams wanted no part of him because of how volatile he is, locker room distraction, players dont like playing with him, etc..
Or to simplify pretty much everything @WiggyRuss said about Whiteside.

^^^He mad lol

Whiteside might have his down moments, but he seems to be pretty focused on playing when on the court and not letting a bad call here and there throw him off like what's happened with Cousins.

3-4 years from now when the "whiteside" era concludes as a miserable failure with zero winning i will be very interested in the excuses.

you know and i know- the guy isnt a #1, isnt a #2, and probably isnt even a #3 on a team that is going to win anything. You know that right? shareef abdul whiteside, lol.

the players know it, the coaches know it...etc....a lot of stats does not make you a good player all the time.

that- and building a team around a center that cant shoot or cant pass is dEATH in todays NBA. You just arent gonna win anything like that.

Cousins just got dealt- drummond is supposedly obtainable- tons of other centers have been dealt, okafor is on the block etc.

how many really good wing players or back court players have you seen been dealt?

you will not win anything playing the type of basketball that whiteside's limited skill set makes you play. in todays wide open league- all you are doing is tying a ball and chain around your ankle and trying to go swimming.

Fuck you and your attempt to connect winning into how wrong you appear to be.

How much winning have AD and Cousins accomplished, yet theyre going to get 200M.

Your wing players are also winning nothing if James isnt there getting them wide open looks.

What did Love or Kyrie win without him?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

there is a LOT of pent up anger in among the Lakers and Heat fanbases and i am a convenient target....its such a shame your guys' teams cannot accept being complete dog shit for half a decade or more while watching the Cleveland Cavaliers win and win and win some more...its cool though...i can take it. + Ill take Umbreon or Espeon over Pikachu ANY DAY.

Well, those fanbases have experienced a ton of success.

I think it's worse that us Clippers fans are like...

First round out?

Free Agents fleeing like roaches when the lights come ?

This trade below works in the Trade Machine. In this trade, Heat pick up 5 wins, Lakers lose 13 wins, and Cavs get 2 wins. If I get bored, I'll try to get a 4-way where Cavs get McCaw also.

Heat get:
Mozgov
Lou Williams

Lakers get:
Shumpert
Frye
RJeff

Cavs get:
Whiteside

The Cavs get the best of that deal imo, Lou Williams or Mosgov could be getting overvalued on the trade machine.

This is why we can't take you serious.

I don't see Minnesota winning with KAT and Wiggins. Anthony Davis hasn't won a single playoff game in NO. I don't think Cousins even went to the playoffs.

But we'll all remember how Kyrie Irving was leading the Cavs deep into the playoffs before Lebron came back.

Better cherish those Lebron years. It'll be back to landing number 1 picks in Cleveland once his prime is gone which could happen as soon as next year.

I'd question Riley's credentials if he were to ever had done that trade. Whiteside would immediately be Wiggy's favorite player.

He'd be one of LeBrons favorites.
He's never played with an elite C.

P.S. Please no douche comments from anyone saying Shaq.

In reference to post# 13371
Well that would be a BIG, FAT, ZERO!!!!!!!!!!

I usually don't watch All-Star games myself.

I usually do. The NBA was my favorite all star game because they would usually turn up the defense in the 4th quarter. But the past 2 seasons, they haven't done that.
