2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Wamu]

On a near nightly basis I said Wade (when with Heat) would often not run back to defend because he was crying to refs after not being fouled, for starters, and there was more.
Not hating on him, cause I love him as a Heat player, but as every other player, I call it as I see it.
What have I said about him on the Bulls except that he's not worth his contract?

I've also noticed Wade's done his share of boo-hooing to the refs. But he might have taken a page outta LeBron's playbook. I gotta say though in no way have I followed his career as closely as you have.

 

[Wamu]

They hit a home run with Brown.
Horford still is what he was.
Nice player but nothing great.

I was really hoping that Ainge could have gotten Butler or George before FA ended. And I'm not sure what could be done this summer for the roster. I watch alotta CBB but I'm not convinced there's any player in the upcoming draft that could be a difference maker from the start. I still laugh about that trade for Pierce/KG to the Nets though. What the hell were they thinking?

He had started it before James arrival, but it got worse.
My guess is he just can't take the contact/pounding like he used to.
He was fearless for years.

Maybe after the lotto balls are drawn.
Its hard to trade an elite player for the unknown.

Speaking of Wade wasn't he the last player to get a trip-dub in an ncaa Tourney game?

Very true.

Very true.

Nice to see you and turnup agree on something

Shocking.
Since it agreed with his opinion, he decided not to try to turn my words into his thoughts.

4 time All-Star.

What's going on with the Celtics? Anyone watching this game? Are the Suns all of a sudden good?

Been watching off and on but the suns are coming off two good wins

It just seems like typical NBA type defense.

With road games against the Warriors and Clippers in their next 2 games, this is a game they cant lose

They haven't had very many so this must be a new experience for them.

Except the Suns are looking more impressive than the Clips and Warriors right now. LOL. The Suns would've probably whooped the Knicks by double digits today.

 

[Bolts]

The Kings haven't gotten the memo yet today that they are supposed to keep tanking, leading the Jazz by 15.

 

[tducey]

Celtics are having an off game more than likely.It happens. Still with their games with the Clippers and Warriors this week, they shouldn't be losing to the Suns.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I was reading a article about Zach Lavine and how he could lose money if he signs an extension this Summer and I am shocked at how poorly his draft class has performed.

Andrew Wiggins is the only guy that is a No brainer.

He needs to get that killer instinct. But, the talent is there.

Lavine, Parker, Embiid ....I would give a Curry injury discount deal.

Smart, Hood I'd give a half assed offer below market.

Julius Randle, Saric I'd need another year.

Harris, Warren, Capela...meh....if the price is right.

Gordon...no.

Exum, Staukus, Vonleh....no, no, hell no.

Elfrid Payton...Lmfao


This has to be the worst draft class in history.
