2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

The turning point in the game was when Steph taunted Brown at the end of the 3rd. It lit a fire under the Celtics and they dominated the dubs in the 4th.

Brown was jawing at Steph. Steph doesn't get in anyone's face like that unless he's provoked.

What really killed the Warriors is their second unit scoring. Without Durant, it puts a lot more pressure on Klay to have to produce with that unit. He's then surrounded by 4 guys who don't really produce their own offense. Klay's not going to create for them, so when you play a superior defensive team, that second unit being able to produce offensively is absolutely critical.

I'm going to the Celtics/Nuggets game tomorrow.

If you see Dunny out there tell him he ABSOLUTELY SUCKS, and if wants to hire someone so he doesn't fuck up the draft once again, I'll offer my services for free.

Over the last two months, the heat are the best 3 pt shooting team in basketball.

It's not always about talent Melo.

To quote wiggy: Nobody cares, LeBron rulz, Whiteside sucks & Riley doesn't know what the hell he's going. Dan Gilbert for prez-o-dent in 2020.

So Swappy P's crib was broken into during A.S. weekend & a half a million in stuff was stolen. Anyone else think Deangelo Russell did it?

Posted this on the last page, bud.

Melo is a simpleton, so it's not surprising that he thinks nothing but talent makes a great basketball team.

Him and Wiggy would get along.

The only way CaraMElow Anthony makes it to the Finals is if he buys a ticket.

Melo: "There might not be an "I" in team but there is a "ME".

I think the Heat talent is being grossly underestimated.
We don't have that 1 superstar, but what we do have is a roster that can produce top to bottom, in every phase of the game.
We have shooters, playmakers as well as an elite C.
There is no glaring weakness in any rotation Spoelstra puts out there.
They come at you in swarms.
If you play the Heat, you better be prepared to play hard for all 48.

I think Whiteside could be considered a Superstar

Waiters is definitely a superstar, he's the best Shooting Guard and the league and a top 5 MVP candidate on almost every pundit that matters, list (ME).

Oh you've done it now. Calling Whiteside an elite C. You know wiggy's gonna yell @ you for your bold statement don't you?

is there such thing as an "elite center" in the nba nowadays?

elite center....isnt that an oxymoron, like jumbo shrimp? or deafening silence?


center is just code for "cant pass and cant shoot and too slow to be versatile"

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I ignore his posts.
Talks a lot of shit, then all he can do is post a picture of the standings.
A trained chimp could be more entertaining here.

LOL @ Stephanie trying to talk shit to Brown last night, 99.9% of the league would take that soft ass marshmellow faggot to suplex city with hilarious ease.


Video for reference, right before the Marshmellow proceeded to go scoreless in the 4th Quarter

What do you consider The Unibrow (27.8 ppg, 11.7 rebs, 2.2 asts, 1.2 stls, 2.3 blks) & Boogie (22.1 ppg, 13.6 rebs, 3.7 asts, 1.4 stls, 1.0 blk)? You know who isn't an elite C? Tristan Thompson (8.1 pts, 9.7 rebs, 1.0 ast, 0.5 stls, 1.1 blks).

With Durant out, the major hole becomes second unit scoring. Last night was the biggest case for that.

The highest scorer off the bench yesterday was Iguodala with 9 points. The next highest after that? Javale McGee with 4 points.

Iguodala finished with a -15, Livingston -15, Barnes -5, West -13, Clark -6, and McAdoo -8.

The Starters were actually decent with Steph being -3, Klay +2, Pachulia +4, McCaw -3, Draymond -3.

I think calling him a "faggot" is a bit out of line bro. I mean no need to take it that far, imo.

I remember when I told everyone itt that they depleted their bench to get Durant, and it was going to hurt them.

And I was told that it meant nothing and that superstars win titles.

I took you words in this context as well and not in the general derogatory form. Still feel like it's on another level than it should be. But maybe that's just me.
