2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

Top 5 two way players, in order, go....

Kawhi Leonard
Jimmy Butler
Klay Thompson
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Lebron James (could easily be #2 here if he was just engaged more defensively)

We all talk shit on here to one degree or another. But, part of talking shit is wearing it when the shit you talk blows up in your face. Instead of trying to downplay, pretend you don't care and/or make excuses for it.

I know I'm one of the few posters that actually LIKES, not just tolerates, Wiggy.

But, his inability to just take the "L" is bullshit.

Dude, love it.

I'd go...Kawhi, Brow, James, Butler, Klay...

Love the Freak, Westbrook and Paul George.

But, they missed my cut.

I like Jimmy's defense more than Klay's and Klay's offense more than Jimmy's.

So, that could have been ordered either way.

I do not wish to purchase pot from this man.

 

[msgkings322]

I admit these guys have been literally on fire as of late. they might just be a headache for almost anyone...

Literally on fire? Someone needs to help those poor saps.

I honestly don't think AD is a very good defender. Maybe that's just me?

I also think Westbrook is a really bad defender too. PG I could see.

I had my top two at Kawhi and Butler because they both give you everything they got on both offense and defense every night. After that it was kind of a crap shoot. I think homer bias may have crept up there because looking at it again, I'd put Lebron firmly ahead of Klay too.

My revised list would be:

Kawhi
Butler
Lebron
Klay
Freak

I think Westbrook, despite what he says, is way to focused on scoring and stats.

When dialed in, he can lock Dudes down.

As for Davis, maybe I'm to focused on his ability to block shots?

He predicted and thought it would be the Cavs destroying the Heat.
20+ points, revenge, rested, etc.
Had it have went down that way, there would have been abundant trash talk vs this denial/deflection.

Fuck him.
Im done with him until things change.

Agree, except I'd change "one of the few" to "only." lol

When Lebron was with the Heat, Heat fans talked all kinds of shit. Both times that the Heat lost in the finals, Heat fans showed up, took the shit they had coming to them with no excuses and moved on. Heck, after the Spurs destroyed them in Lebron's last year with them, some Heat fans were tougher on the Heat than most others posters were.

Lakers fans also talked a lot of shit, both when they were winning titles and when the Dwight/Nash trade first happened. When shit fell apart, we all stuck around, took the shit we had coming to us and moved on.

The Heat/Lakers wars were epic. But, because of how each side handled the losses, everyone gets along great now.

That's how it's supposed to work.

Right.

I totally didn't care that the Lakers beat the Clippers, on national TV, Xmas day.

or the cop having to search him down...

If I was the cop, I'd be like...Yeah man, you're good. Just stay out of trouble. lol

Me and CL had some epic battles, but we both accepted our lumps when needed and moved on.
Wiggy acts like an avi bet is his meal money.

They won't.

They won't.

I'll live.

I was here and been here after the Warriors collapsed. I mean all things considered, being a 73 win team that year, you really couldn't blame a Warrior fan if they wanted to go into the witness protection program.

They'll find Wiggy hiding in there when the Cavs lose in the playoffs.

 

[bksballer89]

If the Heat win at least 6 of the next 9 which would leave us at 36-37 at minimum, I love our chances of sneaking in.
