2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

No, I saw it.

Both he and Blake said it.

But, I think it's a horrible decision.

Chris is not one of my favorite players.

But, he legitimized the Clippers.

So, I would like to see him actually win before his career is over.

of course the easiest way to win would be going to the Spurs- but you just have no clue how things work out- i mean look at this year with the Durant injury--- and the Cavs having so much turnover and injuries....If Durant hasas et back or is slowed- there is no reason the Clips couldntcom e out of the West--- if the Warriors are forced to make a move because of cap restrictions, if the Clips get lucky on a guy etc....

this fait accompli- that the Warriors and Cavs will be the best for the next 3-5 years is just not realistic when it comes to the NBA - things change fast--- its the most LIKELY- but you have no clue what can happen - when something as simple a turned ankle could flip a playoff series.

If the Spurs get that #1 seed, he goes top 3 in mvp race...imo

wiggy's my NBA MVP this year.

 

[gordontrue]

Hes sat 5 games which equals 5 losses and more to follow.

In theory that makes him obviously more valuable to his team, but it also makes him responsible for the losses.

5 games just isn't enough to move the needle for me either way... but I could see some voters taking that into consideration.

Starting to see quite a few people say that the Cavs better hope the Heat don't get the 8 seed.


Dijon Waiters bless.

ya you def. dont have to play 82 games to win an MVP- and who's to say that LeBron is 100% healthy, and doesnt miss MORE games if not for his rest/maintenance.....if not for Lue and the Cavs taking care of him, and taking care to not work him in practice etc.- maybe he has to sit 2-3 weeks like a couple years ago.

 

[Black Adam]

Wouldnt you love to see the texts between James and Wade, 2 months ago vs now?

Wonder where he plays next season?

Stay with Bulls for the cash?

Opt out and work out something cheaper with Cavs?

Who else would even consider him?

turns out the grass might NOT have been greener for Dwade...

 

[WiggyRuss]

they have def. played better than expected - esp. of late, but whats the end goal here? does anyone think a team led by Waiters/Whiteside/Dragic can really win anything? of course not.

Waiters is certainly getting his dollars up though- that should be an interesting decision this offseason.

20-4 run, 11-3 when Waiters scores 20 points or more, beat the Cavs twice in a 3 days span, also beat the Warriors.

They are playing the best basketball in the NBA, you can eat shit and live.

Yea, bout to take him to the Blood Bank if he keeps this incredulous shit up, I can't take no more, I haven't had enough coffee today and I'm in the mood to stick my size 16 foot straight up someone's candy ass.

Heat can't beat James 4/7, but they will make the Cavs fight like hell.
James is used to coasting in round 1, sweeping teams, then getting a weeks rest.
I highly doubt that would be the case if the Heat continues playing/shooting like this.

Remember when they had no 3 point shooters?
Wasn't that long ago.

I think Riley ends up resigning both Waiters and J. Johnson.
Its either that or some FA with Bosh money.
I doubt any FA would come who would offer more.

Maybe something in between? Go somewhere where he could make say $15 mil as opposed to the $25 he'll make next year in Chicago. In Cleveland, he'll have to settle for vet. minimum and/or MLE. I definitely don't see him coming back to Miami, that ship has sailed. But yeah, I was referencing more the fact that without him, we're only a half game behind his team where they were mentioned as possibly being Cleveland's biggest contender in the East at one point.

lol aw give the kid a break. he's CLEARLY still stinging over those 2 whuppin's the Heat put on his boys...especially after all that outrageous smack of that 30-plus beatdown he promised you guys last Sunday...

li'l time and therapy and i'm sure he'll get through this...

i mean who knows? he's been known to switch teams before. he just might become a Heat fan...
