2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

Ok. What is the magical thing about game 5 vs game 7 that means that the Dubs would have automatically won if Draymond played?

Of course its possible the Warriors win Game 5 if Draymond played. Of course it would've only helped their chances. It just aggravates me when people act like its an automatic. Green wasn't enough for them to get it done in Game 6 or Game 7.

I mean, I get it.

If he was there for game 5, game 6 and 7 wouldn't have been necessary.

But, you can't just use the loss of Dray in game 5 to justify dropping the next two...

However, it's kinda like halftime at the Super Bowl.

Had Lady Gaga not jumped off skyscrapers, Marty Ice might have just kept running up the score. The Halftime show messed up their flow.

On the other hand, had the defense showed up, the Falcons still would have won.

See, this can just go on and on forever.....lol

MOMENTUM

No, but the implied uproar has no real basis.

His views have no real basis but that didn't prevent him from publicizing them. So why do you care if people express disagreement with him?

 

[LAD]

No, but the implied uproar has no real basis.

It does if you have a moral compass.

Who questioned the legality of Stoudemire's comments/views? What's your point?

He doesn't have one..lol

Not automatic but the reason them winning game 5 if he plays is the consensus is because they were already on track to do so- being up 3-1 in that series. We can only give projections based on data that has already been provided. And truth of the matter is that they were rolling all over the Cavs until that point.

My point was perfectly clear with the addendum. Why is Amare's comment such a trigger?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I said it was stupid, not illegal.

I don't understand where that response came from.

We were asked a specific question: What do WE think of what he said?

Every response was some variation of " He can feel the way he wants. But, he expressed it crudely".

Who said lock him up?...lol

 

[TJL]

It's perfectly legal to be racist or homophobic, and as publicly as you like. You can't deny someone equal rights due to their race/sexuality however. Showering with Amare is not an unalienable right...

What in the great blue hell are you talking about?

 

[trojanfan12]

Highly doubt anyone would bring that up. He has more than enough time and unlike Curry who came back earlier than he should. Durant will get more time than he needs probably.

Also nobody said the reason the Cavs won was because of Steph being hurt. Most just acknowledged that Curry wasn't the player he was before the injury.

More people use the Dray suspension as the reason than Steph not being 100%.

C'mon man. You know better than to expect Wiggy to let facts get in the way of an opportunity to post something stupid.

Trigger for who?

TJL asked what WE , as individuals, thought.

We answered and you went all Judge Judy.

You are on your soapbox that he has a right to state his opinion.

So do we.

IMO people who think different people are not equal people are living in the stone ages. They really need to adjust to the changes happening around them.

Live and let live.

I don't like a lot of things other people do.

I don't have to like it to respect them.

 

[TJL]

I just randomly remembered how big of a crush I had on Trina back in the day.

I wonder whatever happened to her

Didn't read every response, guess I should've. This may be the first time on the SportsHoopla that righteous indignation didn't jump on a trigger like that. I was in another discussion about this topic just before where it was more heated.

That's all you can do these days, or the far right (or far left, depending on your leanings) will drive you crazy.

 

[gordontrue]

The same fortune tellers who said the Cavs had no chance last year are the same ones telling me the warriors would've won game 5 with draymond.

Forgive me for taking your Crystal ball projections with a grain of salt.

No worries.

But as a side note- fortune tellers weren't required when the Dubs had ACTUALLY already won 3 out of 4 games played.
