2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[TurnUpTheHeat]

ill guarantee you that Derrick Williams sees playoff minutes. Like i said- he gives them something they could really use--- an athlete that can finish the pick and roll rolling to the basket.

was listening to the RJ and Frye podcast today and they said they were amazed at Williams athleticism- they had thought he was a great athlete- but seeing him up close they were really

IF the Cavs do end up getting Deron Williams as planned- I LOVE how Griffin has restocked the team

Deron Williams, Derek Williams and Kyle Korver? -- great job of restocking. I cant guarantee you- but i dont think any clowns out there would POSSIBLY argue that Delly Mozgov > then Korver, Williams and Williams (and maybe even Bogut)

Griffin- once again- did a great job ignoring the noise and delivering exactly what the Cavs needed- and of course

you got big Dan Gilbert backing it up shelling dollars for the highest payroll in the HISTORY of the NBA.

These next few months are gonna be a helluva ride and a helluva lot of fun!

Only noise heard, came out of LeBrons mouth.
Hes such a whiny cu nt.

He keeps bringing up the noise but ignoring the fact that all of this noise came from Lebron James

 

[bksballer89]

Will wiggy ever acknowledge that the noise came from Lebron James or will he continue to spread these alternative facts and make it seem like the noise came from outside the cavs locker room?

No, he will continue.

lebron said he needed a backup point guard and people made it out to be the end of the freaking world and that they needed to make a move right away.

there was never any urgency- did you see what he said last night? Just have faith in DAvid Griffin- he has done an AMAZING job.

get some d-leaguer a month ago? LOL, what a joke. Jordan Farmar or Jarret Jack or Stephenson? lol.....

its just hilarious to me.

1. As usual, you are clueless to circumstance and obviously not smart enough to comprehend what has been explained to you numerous times.

2. If the Cavs ever have a better 4 year run of results then the Heat did, then you are welcome to come here, talk shit, and say they did a better job. Until then, all you are doing is compounding your legacy of idiocy.

3. For fun, share with all of us which teams spent more in years 2-4.



To summarize.
Heat did a better job with James, and the gap of success when neither has James is 1000000% in favor of Heat.

again- if Mickey Arison EVER Ran the highest payroll in the HISTORY OF THE NBA- do you think i would be calling him cheap?

of course not. Hey- Dan Gilbert is willing to spend on a level that Mickey Arison was never willing to spend. Thats just an undisputable fact.

 

[Black Adam]

i see broken record McWigs is live and in full effect this morning...

 

[Black Adam]

No, he will continue.

lol yeah. let's see if this year's finals knock out all that arrogance...

 

[WiggyRuss]

this was just AMAZING last night. Why he is still The King of the NBA. Dont worry Mr. Lee- it HAS happened before. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Running the highest means nothing if the money is poorly spent.
Who was 1 and 2 when Heat were 3?

Arent Cavs filling voids without taking on much additional salary?

On top of that, lets go over the 4 year results.
Skip 2-3 they won it all. Cant improve on that.

Year 1, what was by far the biggest reason they lost?
Answer is James played terrible. It had nothing to do with bench or salary.

Year 4. Name me the last team that won the Finals who played better then the Spurs did that Finals?
Once again, salary had nothing to do with end result.

Yeah and that's why he was crying after the Pelicans game about needing help lol please

 

[WiggyRuss]

So the cavs are going to an 11 man rotation in the playoffs? Sure

Only way i see hom playing in the playoffs (assuming they're healthy) is in a blowout or if someone gets in early foul trouble.

You do realize rotations shrink in the playoffs, not expand right?

they will just play the matchups as they usually do. Some games/teams you might see a little more Frye- some teams a little less---- Griffin has done a nice job building a roster with a deep bench that has some flexibility---- especially if they can add Deron Williams or Bogut or Sanders or whoever else is out there on the buyout front.

Deron Williams is DEF NOT a done deal yet from what i have heard unfortunately- he WANTS to be here- but its not 100% yet

hey you are CERTAINLY welcome to your opinion.

you enjoy the Heat---- ill enjoy another amazing ride- late nights on TNT watching Chuck and Ern and Kenny breaking down playoff games etc.- and of course- The King.

did you see that block last night?! holy shit.

Derrick Williams made some really nice plays too- having a leader like LeBron- who can take a guy like that who has never really had good veteran leadership and has never been in a winning organzation- is such an advantage.

Driving this morning, NBA radio has Bogut to Rockets.

Also, have you noticed, or is it just me, against most teams you dont even notice that Love isnt playing?

Not opinion, its fact.
If not, you would answer the questions with different answers.

The block was amzing.
Id say it was moreso his speed to get there then the actual block.
Once he got that close it was inevitable.

my whole point the entire time has been that one of the reasons LeBron went back to Cleveland is that Dan Gilbert is willing to spend on a level that Mickey Arison was never willing to spend. That is a 100% black and white cold hard fact.

So the Cavs are going to go 11 or 12 deep in the playoffs? Sure. It is incredible how delusional you are. I have no idea how you're not a GM already. You clearly know more than every coaching staff in the league. The Cavs will expand their rotation and use at least 11 guys nightly in the playoffs. You really can't make this up.

so you dont think Williams will play in the playoffs? Ill guarantee you he does.

i dont know whats so hard to undrstand here.

Channing Frye had a very nice role early on in the playoffs- and then- when the matchup dictated he didnt play- they went another direction. He played ZERO minutes against Golden State after having some really nice games early in the playoffs.

As always Griffin and Lue will plan it out and play the matchups

you are clueless if you think that Williams will not play in the playoffs. Either that or you just havent watched him on the Cavs yet . lol.

I won't disagree that James only agreed to return there under certain conditions, which included him calling the shots (something Heat would never agree to).

Nobody ever disagreed about the youth/assets looking brighter on that side of the fence, but once again, that was no fault of the Heat.

The Heat lived up to everything they promised the Big 3. Results speak for themselves.
That is cold hard fact.

Who ran the highest payroll in the league when Big 3 was here?

What would you call them?
