2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

Meh it's game. They need a team around them. This will probably be more of a process for Cousins over a longer period of time than most players. Who knows

That's what I'm saying. Davis and Cousins are great talents. But they have dick around them. But to say that just because they have two elite 4/5s that they're going to beat the Warriors in a playoff series is ridiculous. Which there are some that were saying that.

 

[Heatles84]

The Rockets are good. Not saying they will be GS and SA but I really like that team

Yeah they're actually doing really well. If they could add another piece that compliments Harden, I'd give them some semblance of a shot. Not much of one, but they'd be in the discussion.

 

[Heatles84]

We are in first tho

Cool

 

[lebron23james]

Cool

Are u triggered?

 

[Heatles84]

Are u triggered?

Not really

 

[Bolts]

Wait a minute.
Are you saying the Cavs are gonna beat the Mighty Knicks?
Next are we gonna learn the earth is really flat?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Didn't the heat lose to the knicks?

Never.
Knicks are going 0-82

Meanwhile, Cavs let 5.4M trade exception EXPIRE.

Can you image if Arison did that?

@WiggyRuss would have typed so much shit he'd need prosthetic fingers.

Sometimes I miss that physical play of back in the day. Helluva way to get in the opponents head.

It's like hockey with lots of fights and hard checking. Plenty of physical play but a lot less fun.

Why standing pat was the right move for Celtics

 

[bksballer89]

Not saying I think the Clippers can or would beat the Warriors in a series but if these teams happens to meet in the playoffs, it makes no sense to take away anything from these regular season match ups. CP3 missed 3 of the 4 games and the one game where he actually played took place in early December

If the Cavs end up picking up Korver, DWilliams, DWilliams & Bogut for almost nothing -- hard to complain.

Derek Williams shot well and played 27 minutes -- not a bad free pickup. He probably won't play in the playoffs -- but he will chew up minutes in reg. season. Lebron was 18-13-15.

Kings are up 17 with 3:40 left in the first half.
Buddy Hield with 10 points.

Im impressed with Skal

That put back dunk was very nice, he's hustling his ass off. I knew there was talent and potential there if he could get stronger.

One half of one game isn't much of a gauge, but since this all went down I've heard numerous reports that other players really didn't mesh with Cousins.

In 7 years there there was no improvement.

I think the reshuffle will end up being a positive,

Of course.
I'm not the one who doesn't get it.

Clippers were down 31-21. Went on a 32-11 run since. Pretty impressive. Still early but nice to not see the typical Dubs route over the Clippers

Yeah hard to see him playing in the playoffs unless it is a route. Assuming the cavs are healthy, I would guess their bench rotation looks like this in the playoffs:

Shump
Korver
RJ
Frye
Deron Williams (assuming they sign him)

Hard to see them using a 11 man rotation in the playoffs

* peaks at TNT schedule *

......

Yeah, so it's been a long day and I think I'll turn in early.

Won't have time to watch any TV, post online in any Sports forums.

* goes into lurk mode until the Warriors beating is old news *

Nice First Half!
