2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

they of course have them home and home on Monday- but after that they DO have tue. and wed. off....so i dunno. itll be interesting to see....

the only problem is after that starting thurs its 3 games in 4 days again. I would say next Saturday or Sunday is a prime candidate for a rest day as well.

Vegas isn't know to make mistakes.
How could the Heat possibly be favored if James is playing?

well last time against OKC vegas was wrong too- James and Irving and Love all played and the Thudner were big favorites earlier that day.

Vegas is just guessing.

They just don't guess.
Its puts them in a terrible position to get middled.
We're talking potentially ALOT of cash.


You are right about OKC, but James changed the plans, which caused a scramble.

If Vegas is in limbo, they simply don't post a line until they feel there is certainty.

With apologies to @Wamu

Celtics Point Guard Isaiah Thomas on Magic and the Lakers:

"Some superstar is going to come here. It's good. Magic Johnson is arguably the best Laker ever so to have him ahead of all that and making decisions, it's a step in the right direction. Everybody respects him. I mean, the Lakers are not going to be, I guess, what they are now forever. He will bring some people here."

Is IT a pending free agent?

He becomes a UFA in 2018.

They aren't in the business to be just guessing. If that were the case, they wouldn't be doing as well as they are. They don't lose too often.

 

[Wamu]

Pretty good at winning championships too. They do have 16, after all.

I refuse to acknowledge the '85, '87 or '10 seasons. And all those titles from when they were in Minneapolis don't count either. So they really only have 9 titles.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Got it.....it's above your paygrade on tHoop.

Hmmmmmm......his commnts make me think he may not be adverse to coming here. We could move Russell to SG. Or have Russ as the PG and have IT as the undersized SG.

I don't think there was ever a true limit as in threads automatically locked. There was a reason it was done, but I don't remember what it was.

I'll ask and then, if necessary, I'll lock it and start another one.

He's going to get a huge deal....

How you doing?

It would depend on whether or not the Lakers keep the pick. The top 3 players in the draft are all PG's.

 

[trojanfan12]

How you doing?

Not bad. Gotta do some yard work later. Trying to come up with an excuse to not do it, but coming up empty so far. lol

How are you?

 

[msgkings322]

You actually think there were cavs fans around here between 2010-2014?

I don't really care if they were here then, just wondering how they handled the departure.

 

[msgkings322]

lol Maybe. This has been going on with the Clippers for decades though. If memory serves, it goes all the way back to when they were in San Diego, signed Bill Walton in Free Agency and his feet fell off.

The basketball gods were surely not happy with Douchebag Don Sterling.

He must have really pissed them off because they are still making them pay.

Wiggy became a Thunder fan.

Shane became a Heat fan.

Gordon is a Lebron fan so he had to buy a new shirt.
