2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

I turned it off and it was a blowout, did they let them back into the game? Must have taken the foot off the gas

The Hawks were down 1 with 90 seconds left

 

[Bolts]

Pelicans is the only team I would be slightly be concerned about. Philly is in full tank mode with Embiid done.

Hoping all 3 fall into the 4-8 range, but I could see NO finishing around 10th.

lol, i turned it off they were up by over 20+ i think.

Probably. I heard they led by 25 at one point

your right they did....once they got up 25 later on in the 3rd they got complacent and started taking some stupid shots.

this is the Cavs last game without Bogut too.....should be interesting to see him get in here as well. Its gonna be a HELLUVA ride here starting soon.

Meh, im ready for the playoffs to start

I am too for the most part- though i do think itll be interesting to see how Lue manages the roster with so many options now....

they just gotta use the next few weeks to get LeBron and KI ready for the REAL season, and get all these new guys up to speed.....

then the show starts for real....cant wait.

Bogut/williams/kover were good pick ups tho

Bogut is like our taller delly now...both Australian and very tough

They will come in handy if we play the spurs

 

[bksballer89]

well there was a game after all between the two teams tonight. lol......

who the fuck is rodney mcgruder? lol....

Kevin Love is shooting 42.2% from 3 right now and he takes over 6 a game- that is unfucking real for a power forward...not even a year ago there were jackasses talking about how Love was not even going to be with the Cavs this year...unbelievable....less than 32 minutes a game- over 20 points an over 10 boards- playing with elite scorers like irving and lebron and elite rebounders like thompson and lebron...he is playing positively GREAT basketball.

Shumpert is having a great season. Hes playing really really good ball right now...i was really nervous about him coming into this year because he did not play well - AT ALL- at times last year- he looked like dog shit at times and seemed distracted....this year- he has been awesome- draining 3's, playing great D, moving the ball....

Tyler Johnson is one ugly motherfucker.

Some people wanted the Cavs to draft Derrick Williams over Kyrie and take Knight with the 4th pick----pretty fucking glad they took Irving and Thompson. LOL.

-though- i think Williams was a good signing by the Heat- why not take a chance ona guy like that and hope he figures it out- hes not the greatest of athletse- so maybe once he really learns the NBA game he will figure it out and be a valuable rotation guy - i like that gamble---- kinda the same thing with Waiters-------but Waiters just might be pathologically passed helping.

Mcroberts is just so bad....that was just such a bad signing...the guy pulled one mediocre season out of his ass on a very mediocre charlotte team and he gets a long term deal? --- baaaaaaaaad.

Kyrie with just a regular 9 for 15 shooting night..up to 48.3% from the field--- id LOVE to see him get to 50% while maintaing that 3 pt volume but thats prob not realistic.....as good of a shooter as KYrie is- hes not Curry-prob the best shooter that ever lived- and Curry isnt at 50% from the field (48.9)--- when you take so many 3's like those guys do- its just so hard to get to that 50% mark....its what makes Nash's 50/40/90 seasons so freaking special.

Luke Babbit, Rodney McGruder, Willie fucking Reed?...McRoberts, Johnson, Richardson, Ellington.....this Heat team is really pure dogshit. It reminds me of the scene in Major League:



"This guy here is dead!"------

"CROSS him off then!"

Just a reminder of your post back in December when the Cavs beat the Heat who only dressed 8 players.....

 

[WiggyRuss]

Bogut/williams/kover were good pick ups tho

Bogut is like our taller delly now...both Australian and very tough

They will come in handy if we play the spurs

lol...i like that- its true too....Bogut is like our taller Delly.....

he will be handy vs. a couple teams in particular.

thank you for reposting...i was chucking while re-reading it- great post!

all though sucks that it doesnt look like KI has any chance at that 50/40/90...he will get it someday.....

 

[bksballer89]

Hassan just destroying the Cavs

 

[WiggyRuss]

i gotta say- give Griffin some props for stealing Korver like that....guy looks just totally rejuvenated and ready to go for a title...ya gotta add some new blood and guys that are hungry for their first title like Korver and Williams etc....

i love those 2 pickups....

 

[Shanemansj13]

Damn. I looked at the score. I thought they started Lebron and Kyrie...it scared me. But still the defense has to be pitiful, even with them in there. They need to get out of this rut. Maybe when everyone is healthy they will play some better D

 

[trojanfan12]

We just blew out Atlanta a better team than miami on the road,

135-130 is a blowout? I'm beginning to think that no Cavs fans watch any actual games.

Or maybe not

they just need to get on the same page- playing good D in the NBA is so much about everyone knowing what everyone else is gonna do....

no Kyrie, LeBron, Love and JR.......Derrick Will, Deron will have basically just gotten there- Korver has been there last then 2 months....

its just gonna take time to get everyone on the same page.

 

[msgkings322]

HAHAHAHAHA

if the Heat cannot win on their home court with the Cavs missing their entire starting lineup beside Tristan- they might as well pack up and go play in the WNBA. LOL.



LeBron? Resting

Love? Injured

Kyrie? resting

Jr? Injured

@gordontrue , @lebron23james , @Shanemansj13 Who do the Cavs need to beat the Heat on their home floor?

the one, the only....

So......this didn't happen

They were struggling on defense before they got those guys. It's getting to be pretty late in the season for them to be trying to get on the same page.

They can get out of the East playing that kind of defense, but if they play defense like that in the finals against the Warriors, Spurs or maybe even the Rockets, they are going to be deep trouble.

ya know..i have faith in Lue and the leadership from LeBron- becuase i heard much of the same arguments last year.

It DEFNITELY is gonna be a helluva ride though. Cant wait until the real season starts.
