2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Robotech]

I think the Celtics are overrated and that the Cavs will eventually pull away and win this game easily. Anyone think otherwise?

I'm here to give you guys the daily Bojan Bogdanovic update.

He has 16 points on 5-6 shooting. He is also 3-3 from long range.....Oh yeah it is only halftime.

But to someone on here he is some terrible player lol

I'm not sure about the pulling away and winning easily but I do think they're overrated. That roster is made for the regular season. Not built for the playoffs. Washington and Toronto will be more difficult for Cleveland in a playoffs series IMO

See, this is what I was trying to say in that other thread...the Warriors this year (before KD went down obviously) are one of the greatest teams ever assembled. They play some of the highest level basketball that is possible, and are certainly the best team in the league.

When I posted this, everyone shouted me down about how you can't say that until they win a ring. I agree that accomplishment means rings, but in terms of sheer ability and game play I stand by it, even if they lose in the Finals like the Spurs in 2014. There are other examples a-plenty, like the Mavericks in 2011. They won the ring, but were they the best team at playing basketball that year? Obviously they were for the playoffs, but that's not my point.

The Warriors are among the all time great basketball teams, you are watching greatness with them, same as other great teams you remember. In 30 years someone who is 15 years old now will be schooling the youngsters about how they got to see those mid 2010s Warriors teams play, and these newfangled 2047 Nets ain't shit.

I understand what you're saying. It's kinda like a really great track and field athlete who stumbles and doesn't get the gold medal, but everyone knows they're the best in their event, like the decathlete Dan O'Brien in 1992 (man, I'm starting to feel old). Crazy things happen in sports, and luck (both good and bad) plays a bigger part than most would admit.

What I pictured when I found out black girls posted here

and how I reacted

Spoiler

must say the one in the white bikinda is rather...ample...

 

[bksballer89]

i just think its a JOKE that they actually gave up a first round pick for a guy who in the grand scheme of things does NOTHING for them---- when the Rockets and Cavs just got BETTER players for first rounders that were worse.

if you think it was a good move to give up a first round pick for Bogdon- more power to you. lol.

whats your point? is that supposed to be a profound statement?

bogdan is trash and the nets got a better pick for him then the lakers did for williams or the hawks did for korver....what a failure.

lets book mark these pages- or at least remember them- and seee who contributes more from here on out- Bogdon or Korver--- i can save you the suspense if you would like and tell you right now.

because Bogdon sucks.

wouldnt you rather have PJ tucker or Wilson Chandler or Lou Williams or Kyle Korver and not some second rate shooting guard that cant shoot, cant paly D and cant rebound?

ill guarantee you 3 months from now that deal will be the worst one made at the deadline that is not a MAJOR deal. He wont help them what it was worth giving up. guaranteed.

i dont think Ibaka is a game changer- but at least he is a credible NBA starter.

Bogdon started about half and half at SG And SF- and i gotta think he is the worst "starting" sg in the league, and the 2nd worst starting SF behind McGruder.

Just going to leave this here....oh yeah he just hit another 3

For whatever reason, Boston seems prone to lapses.

I don't like Boston. I honestly would not be surprised if a team like Chicago or Indy eliminates them in round 1.

Brogdon seems to be limited athletically, but man, he's got some skills.

Yeah he's not the most athletic guy but the man can ball. He can play on my team anytime

Get out of Wiggy's sandbox. You're better than that and it's full of cat shit.

@Vyle203 Al Horford is overrated. Just wanted to let you know

Yeah, both Indy and Chicago are mediocre, but I trust Butler, Wade, and PG13 more than anyone on Boston.

I was watching the Bucks-Phoenix game the other day. I had no idea that Brogdon was an excellent playmaker. He had plenty of nice assists to teammates for easy buckets.

 

[bksballer89]

Jahlil Okafor plays 12 seconds of the worst defense you've ever seen

Another nice early 2nd round picks. If you do proper scouting, you can find some really nice players in the first 10 picks of round 2

Super overrated player, IMO. I have a feeling that his role in this league will be a nice scoring big off the bench, but not much more than that.

He can be such a good player if he wasn't so lazy on defense. He is a damn good back to the basket player but hard to live up to that #2 pick playing defense the way he does.

Bogdanovic carrying the Wiz to a win in Toronto tonight.

Yeah, he'll never live up to being the #2 pick.
