2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Back to the subject of TJ....

Tyler Johnson

What a garbage state line:

GP MPG FGM-FGA FG% 3PM-3PA 3P% FTM-FTA FT% RPG APG BLKPG STLPG PFPG TOPG PPG
2016-17 Regular Season 5 29.8 5.6-10.6 .528 1.6-3.2 .500 2.6-2.8 .929 4.0 2.0 0.8 1.4 2.8 1.0 15.4

I know.
I posted his stats this morning.

The wisdom of @WiggyRuss deflected it to anyone could put up stats like that if they were in a similiar position.

He also has confirmed that if you're a good player on the Heat, you can't be any good because they have a bad record, but if you're on any other team and are a good player, it's not their fault because there isn't enough talent on the roster..

The mouth breather makes sense, bro. I mean, look at Towns. If he was such a good player, the T-Wolves would have a great record to match, right? I mean by Wiggy's logic, bad teams don't have good players. So Kyrie is really an overrated piece of shit considering he couldn't even sniff the playoffs in the East the 4 years Lebron was in Miami while the East was as pathetic as you can get.

Love also.

Impossible. He was on a title team last year. He's the best PF in the league by Wiggy's logic. Just like JR's the best SG. Because being on a title team automatically makes you the best at your respective position. Like I said earlier, Ginobli was drafted late in the 2nd round so he's a scrub. Same thing with Parker, barely made it in the 1st round, so he's barely any better. #wiggylogic

 

[Heatles84]

So Atlanta's 4-2. Jumping on the Dwight train to beat the Cavs. C'mon Dwight. Let stop #3.....errr.........#4 be the charm.

Clips are man handling the Spurs right now.

 

[Bulletz]

Meanwhile, rough night for Kyrie, just 3-17, 0-5 from 3.

Yeah....But the Spurs are missing their starting backcourt.

Meh.

Well that's good.
We won't be spammed 5000 words for at least a night.

Allow me to get my @WiggyRuss @lebron23james on....

Curry went 5-17, 0-10 from 3 against the Lakers.


Kyrie > Curry

i gotta say- Embiid impressed the hell outta me....

he played solid D...the fucking guy made 4 of 4 three pointers! AND was 4/4 from the FT line....

if this kid is really a solid shooter with his size and athleticism....holy shit....obviously he needs to stay healthy...but a front court of him and Simmons is what teams dream of.

Saric looked okay- obviously his first few NBA games...its gonna take him a while to get comfortable....they basically have to play him at SF and i dont know if thats gonna be his best positon- its awful tough to play defense at the 3 in todays league.

i thought tj mcconnell looked like a decent back up Pg....kid played tough.

when your starting back court is sergio rodriguez and gerald henderson your pretty screwed...its insane to have so many talented young big men--- noel, okafor (who's postwork looks like a young al jeff), saric, simmons, embiid..--- and then NO GUARDS what so ever....stauskas blows.

they are gonna suck this year- and prob suck next year....but after that- who knows.....

They's had some tough close losses. Nice to see that team with a glimmer of hope. I really hope Embiid stays healthy.

what hte hell is up with embiid taking and making 3s though? that came out of nowhere for me....thats kinda crazy.

 

[WiggyRuss]

best conference in basketball is probably the soutwest....maybe the pacific...right?

the southeast is by far the worst conference in basketball, isnt it?

 

[Black Adam]

I may actually turn it to the Cavs game tonight. Closest game at the moment.

close, but no cigar...

it IS funny though since Wiggy's been sitting on threads after every game the Dubs lose. just wait'll the Cavs drop one...

 

[Bulletz]

Allow me to get my @WiggyRuss @lebron23james on....

Curry went 5-17, 0-10 from 3 against the Lakers.


Kyrie > Curry

Furthermore, Curry (0-10) is the worst 3PT shooter in the league, and the Lakers are the best team in the West.

its just fun exposing @TurnUpTheHeat 's hypocrisy.....how he keeps throwing in Cavs fans' face--- well what did Irving win when he was by himself (as a 20 year old kid on a team that was TRYING to tank)?

its just funny to see him make that argument the last year + and then to throw it back in his face. LOL......and Irving at 20 years old- i would have never called him- maybe "the most dominant center (point guard) in the league".

Id think that if you are the most dominant player at your position with a "genius" GM like Riley- and a PG that is just as good as Kyrie Irving-- youd win some games.....

alas....its fun throwing that kind of hypocrisy back in his face....

hey- that was COINCIDENCE--- its COINCIDENCE that Klay is shooting below 20% from the 3 pt. line and Curry didnt make a 3 for the first time in 153 games.....nothing to do with the teams on the floor chemistry. lol

I think KD asserting his dominance this early has gotten into their heads a bit.

I also think it's only a matter of time before everything clicks and GS rips off 15-20 wins in a row.

oh...they are gonna be fine in the long run you would think--- especially if they can somehow manage a trade or a free agent buy-out pickup or two to shore up the front court-- or if Looney establishes himself as a decent rotation player....

Pachulia is a solid player- but hes not a very good defender. I reallyliked his passing and thought that fit well with GOlden State- but his defense is not good. David West is no longer a credible NBA player. Looney is 20 years old- and maybe can give you something but relying on a 20 year old in important playoff minutes is risky. Varejao is obviously beyond cooked.

They need 1-2 bigs that are not just way passed their usefulness like WEst and Varejoa- or way too early to rely on like Looney....id think they could trade one of those young guys like looney or mccaw for one- or just wait until the buyout deadline and get someone that is at least useful- unlike West and Varejao.
