2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Bolts]

Kings play the Wolves, Nets, and Jazz this week all at home. I'm hoping they go 0-3, but facing both the Wolves and Nets might make that difficult. 1-2 wouldn't be bad, 2-1 or 3-0 would suck.

Curry 40% 21 ppg 3.7 apg 0.9 spg
Kyrie 47% 27 ppg 3.9 apg 2.1 spg

I think he has more talent than both, Westbrook is just an athletic specimen, which puts him over Kyrie.

If I had to have Kyrie or Curry for one series, I'd take Kyrie.

Well I wouldn't because a winner needs to have more qualities other than iso ball & hitting buzzer beaters every once in a while. And I say every once in a while because he doesn't have more makes than misses in those situations. You need a player that can LEAD his team. ESPECIALLY when said player is the PG.

Westbrick had durcant got the same shot at GS, and lost

Kyrie won and clearly had better stats on a larger stage than westbrick.

Want to know why Kyrie won? I'll give you a hint: Lebron.

Did you even look at the stats or watch the games?

 

[LAD]

It really just proves that LeBron should still be the MVP every year lol

He's possibly having the best season of his career this year and no one is talking about it.

So is KD- and no one is talking about his improvements either.

 

[LAD]

Hmmmmm another poster that recognizes that @lebron23james has an overwhelming amount of Lebron's baby batter collected in the back of his throat. Strange times.

LOL @ baby batter

 

[TJL]

So is KD- and no one is talking about his improvements either.

I agree, he's actually rated number on ESPN fantasy basketballs player rater

 

[LAD]

He outplayed him the whole series.

Well if they both make it back healthy we'll see if that holds up again.

 

[Heatles84]

Oh, look at that. The 76ers tanking strategy clearly paying off.

Joel Embiid out indefinitely

So one shot makes a player better than the other?

Curry has played sub par in 2 finals in a row, Kyrie jumped at the opportunity to shine, I don't see how you came up with the conclusion that you just did.

Steph has shown to shy away in the big moments, Kyrie hasn't.

 

[TJL]

Well if they both make it back healthy we'll see if that holds up again.

Well, hopefully both teams are fully healthy and both make it there again.

I honestly don't think the Cavs need a health K Love, but they definitely need a healthy Kyrie/LeBron to have a chance.

 

[lebron23james]

So one shot makes a player better than the other?

No, the entire series

you act like Kyrie is some roll player who all he did was hit one 3 lol

 

[LAD]

Wanna guess who else was on Kyrie's team???? Hahaha I can't believe how you can say what RW is doing isn't more impressive than ANYTHING Kyrie's done thus far.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

No, the entire series

Westbrook never played Kyrie in a series.

 

[lebron23james]

Kyrie has only had good players on his team for 2 years this being his 3rd....How did westbrick do over the years with his stacked teams?

 

[LAD]

Curry has played sub par in 2 finals in a row, Kyrie jumped at the opportunity to shine, I don't see how you came up with the conclusion that you just did.

Steph has shown to shy away in the big moments, Kyrie hasn't.

Fair enough. And Kyrie has shown to shy away as the team's leader in general when LBJ isn't playing- which is what we were talking about in the first place.

 

[LAD]

No, the entire series

you act like Kyrie is some roll player who all he did was hit one 3 lol

Ummm probably because that's how he plays when he doesn't have his big brother helping him.

 

[LAD]

Well, hopefully both teams are fully healthy and both make it there again.

I honestly don't think the Cavs need a health K Love, but they definitely need a healthy Kyrie/LeBron to have a chance.

I agree, Love isn't going to help them beat GS. But if he's on the team & not healthy & they lose that will be their excuse.
