2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

Kyle Korver just became the 7th player in NBA history to hit 2000 threes.

those are all because of LeBron James? lol.

What? it took playing around LeBron for Kyle Korver to become one of the, if not the best 3 pt shooter in the league? hahahaha

You really can't read. I said all 3 point shooter numbers when playing with Lebron and Kyrie because obviously they will get more open looks. Where did I say Korver was not a 3 point shooter before coming to Cleveland? Please tell me the post number. I'm all ears

No doubt Korver does what he does, but if every move made is in an effort to beat the Warriors, then Korver is useless.
Re-watch the footage of the Cavs/Warriors game.
The intentionally went after him at every possible opportunity.

is that a joke? was that Korver's first or second game with the Cavs...gmafb.

I have no issue answering your question but I'm going to answer it when you do the same shit all the time. Unlike you I don't avoid answering questions. I asked my question 20 minutes ago and asked multiple times. You have yet to answer

@WiggyRuss is famous for talking shit then not responding when proven wrong.

@gordontrue

im kinda coming around on Beverly the more i think about it....it would be really interesting to see him play some point and have KI and Bron off the ball here and there.

plus--- he would be a nice matchup vs. Curry...

I like Shumpert - but if there is one place the Cavs have some depth- esp. with Williams now- its on the wing....though- if you deal shumpert you NEED a defensive player like Beverly back.

i could see a lineup of :

Beverly, Kyrie, Bron, Thompson, Love give teams fits.

They really don't need Shump as much since they have Korver. They would be getting a guy that can lockdown a PG though and Beverly is a 39% shooter this year as well.

Beverly
Korver
Jefferson
Frye

That would be the 2nd unit guys but using him next to Kyrie to guard the PG would be a great lineup.

thats what i was thinking.

Smith and Korver can hold down the 2 position if the REALLY found a good deal to trade Shumpet- but it would have to be for a guy that plays defense.

itll be interesting to see what the Defending Champs do.

Griffin is really creative and has done some nice things in the past- but i would think the big move was Korver---- we shall see though.

what DO i know? Its gonna be a helluva fun ride from now till June and it starts tonight at the Q vs. the Bricks! maybe Melo will switch locker rooms? lol.

whats your point? is that supposed to be a profound statement?

bogdan is trash and the nets got a better pick for him then the lakers did for williams or the hawks did for korver....what a failure.

lets book mark these pages- or at least remember them- and seee who contributes more from here on out- Bogdon or Korver--- i can save you the suspense if you would like and tell you right now.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

So his D improved since then?
Both Klay and Curry eat him for lunch.

He is what he is, and that is why Hawks really didn't need him.
Good move for the Cavs to get him with the uncertainty of JR, but if JR is back and healthy he'll be the one on the court the vast majority of the time.

I think Beverly is better fit for the Cavs because he has more of that Delly type personality.

Ok

 

[Shanemansj13]

i just think its a JOKE that they actually gave up a first round pick for a guy who in the grand scheme of things does NOTHING for them---- when the Rockets and Cavs just got BETTER players for first rounders that were worse.

if you think it was a good move to give up a first round pick for Bogdon- more power to you. lol.

He isn't a great fit for the Wiz. The more and more I think about it this trade doesn't do much for the Wiz. He is built like a SF and can't guard the 2, not a very good defender. He is a pretty underrated player I just don't like him on the Wiz.

If you put him alongside a guy that can play defense he wont be useless. I think he won't play as many minutes and Lue would have to use him vs the right lineup but all he needs to do is hit get on fire one, maybe two games and that's all they need from him.

He won't be playing against Klay or Curry lol. Maybe a possession or two and I expect his minutes would go down and only play against the 2nd unit, especially when JR comes back.

i just cant wait until the roster is set and we see what the final result is

thus far i like the additions of Korver and Williams. Who knows what is going to happen with Sanders- and what will happen today and during the buyout deadline.

I just want to be able to see who the Defending Champs are going to go into battle with this coming spring.

It should be a helluva good time that is for sure.

having the King of the NBA is a nice thing!

 

[Shanemansj13]

I would rather the Cavs get Beverly than Deron Williams

 

[bksballer89]

Toronto is clearly not trying to do anything.

 

[WiggyRuss]

agreed.

we shall see what happens.

No matter what- this is gonna be a lot of fun. End of February- coming back from the all star break- this is when things start to ramp up and the team is getting ready for the journey to a title.

These next few months are gonna be awesome- a lot of late nights watching the TNT and ESPN guys talking about the Cavs.....doesnt get much better. A LOT of early mornings though too. lol.

Kyrie is having a great year...i think he will be showing us something special again come this spring.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Toronto is clearly not trying to do anything.

agreed. all they are doing is reshuffling deck chairs on the Titanic.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I wasnt aware that Kerr would let you make his coaching decisions.

 

[trojanfan12]

When Parish punched Laimbeer twice -- they didn't even call a foul on Chief. If you listen to the broadcast at some point they say it was probably because the official thought Laimbeer deserved it.

Lol. Knowing Laimbeer, he probably did deserve it.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Kyrie - Beverly
JR - Korver
Lebron - Jefferson - Williams
Love - Frye
TT - Sanders

I would be happy with these moves.
