2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Heatles84]

Whiteside did whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted.
Tristan cant handle Willie Reed.
Im not even sure where the great perimter D comments come from.
Opponents get pretty much wide open looks during the game.

He's a fine role player. That's it. We all know why we argue against him. But yeah, Whiteside feasted on last night's match up. Wiggy doesn't know it, but in the ongoing Whiteside vs. Thompson saga - it was another win for Whiteside.

This time Tristan was the go-to guy, similar to what Whiteside's been this year. Tristain didn't have any all-stars behind him, kind of like Whiteside doesn't have all year. Hell, we've heard Wiggy call Dragic overrated for a couple of seasons now. Whiteside's also playing with a team where half came from the d-league. The Cavs were without their big 3, but we're told they have by far the deepest bench in the league.

Am I missing something?

I didnt read any @WiggyRuss comments from the game, but I can pretty much guess what was written.

Didnt he say that no Heat bench player would make the Cavs rotation?

Funnier yet, an ex Heat player who rode the bench here, is needed there.

Williams plays hard, decent offense, but his D is terrible which just wont cut it for the Heat.

And yet their records are identical, and that is without love and smith for most of it

Cavs fans...clueless as ever.

 

[trojanfan12]

Currently 21st in DEF EFF. They were 10th last season.

Currently 3rd in OFF EFF. They were 4th last year.

Based on those #'s, offense has been basically the same. Huge drop off in defense

You can win championships without playing defense. - Mike D'Antoni and Cavs fans

Cavs' Smith leaves court after shouting match

Jr looks ornery and ready to come back. Of course McGruder- a classless Dleague player "feeling himself" in a blowout win against a team missing 80% of its starting lineup would do something like that in a game that was already settled.

big mistake Mr. McGruder. You just pissed some people off on the Cavs. You better HOPE you dont get the 8 seed and the Cavs get the 1 seed because you will be getting punched in the your big mouth! lol....

I love it- JR - as Bron said- looks ready. Cavs arent gonna sit there and see some dleaguer disrespect a veteran like Channing Frye like that.

they will see their are consequences for those type of actions tomorrow night.

CANT WAIT.

I see you're in your feelings today. And that "classless Dleague" player just made your bench look ridiculous last night.

And we're not worried about getting the 8 seed. You keep bringing this up like it means something. Miami didn't have any expectations given that we're basically starting over and operating at a 25% handicap compared to the rest of the league with Bosh out.

You would be the one to boast about sweeping the Heat, even though around half of the team was in the d-league at some point. Says a lot.

 

[Heatles84]

Boy, McGruder sure struck a nerve with ol' Wiggittywham. LOL

Better watch out herp derp, we're ready. LOL

Derrick Williams disagrees with you. Also funny how nobody on the Cavs bench gave a damn except JR. Look at their bench when it happened. There was not a single reaction from a coach or any of the players excluding JR.

Derrick Williams, who signed a contract with the Cavs for the remainder of the season on Saturday after beginning the year on the Heat, did not think McGruder had any ill intent.

"I'm not really sure what happened," Williams said. "I just know Rodney as a tough player, very physical on defense. I have nothing bad to say about him, so. He's a tough guy, and I'm not really sure what happened, but I hope it wasn't anything extra. I know him personally. He's a good guy."

I would love to see anyone on the Cavs touch McGruder. Udonis Haslem and James Johnson will fuck up every single person on the Cavs.

If what McGruder did was so disrespectful, why didn't the rest of the cavs players/coaches react there?

because they are waiting for tomorrow night. And it wont be a cheap shot, or anything disrespectful, no comments in the media- itll just be a pure beat down.

LeBron and Kyrie coming off a few days rest? Bogut joining the team? I might have to get myself a ticket to this fucking game! MWAHAHAHA

Please stop acting like Bogut is the 2nd coming of Shaq. I'm sure you were trashing the guy when he was with the Warriors.

Since you're so convinced it is going to be a beat down, let's make a bet? If the Cavs win by 25 or more, I disappear off the general board for a week. If they win by 25 or less then you disappear from this board for a week.

Deal?

blow me. Have you ever watched an NBA game? the Cavs could be up 30 at the end of the 3rd quarter and Kyrie and LeBron and TT could take a seat for the night and the 2nd unit could let it get back to 19 EASILY. Or from 20 to 9.

Will this game come down to the last 5 minutes of the 4th qtr? absolutely not.

As I pointed out before, LeBron, Kyrie and J.R. were laughing, yucking it up all game on the bench while their teammates were getting PUMMELED.
Not a worry in the world. Couldn't have cared less.

Then, JR's going to get upset over a player who was doing nothing but competing?
Rodney was a long shot to ever make this roster, yet alone become an asset.
There is no divas on the Heat.
If opponents want to take nights off, then don't be butt hurt when you get your ass kicked.


Cavs players/fans have short term memory.
Remember last year when they were blowing out the Hawks but kept launching 3 after 3 chasing the record?
Jumping up and down like it mattered.
THAT is total disrespect for an opponent.

 

[bksballer89]

Let's change the bet then you little bitch.

If the Cavs are up tomorrow night at any point in the game by 30 then I disappear for a week. If not then you disappear for a week.

Deal?

 

[WiggyRuss]

I am just saying that i have a funny feeling Mr. MrGruDer and the Heat will pay for their disrespect tomorrow night at the Quicken Loans arena.

I just might have to go to this game.

30? thats insane
