2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

@CitySushi , @WiggyRuss Nurkic playing like a Dude who wants to get a class of 2014 extension this Summer.

I honestly thought he would be another Kanter/Speights/Okafor type big....all offensive.

But, those Dude's likely don't have 6 blocks all year, let alone in one game.

Sick ass stat line. But, is a fluke?

Jusuf Nurkic has set career highs in points (28), rebounds (20), assists (8) AND blocks (6) tonight vs. the 76ers.

The Spurs.

The most consistent team but they still have those wtf losses. NY, NO, Dallas, Phoenix, Milwaukee, Orlando.

Wii U.

matter of fact i got the Cavs up next before i head out for the day on NBA 2K17...

what's funny is i've gotten to the point where i know how to play 'em and can usually handle 'em. the team that gives me fits is the friggin' Dubs. the individual player i have the hardest time with is John fuggin Wall...

WTF losses happens to every good team every single year.

Any of you cans have Xbox one?

You a gamer?

My kid wants that Nintendo switch. But, I can't see enough of a difference between that and Wii U to justify spending $300 for it.

Difference between the Spurs, Warriors, & Cavs. DEF EFF ratings

Spurs-1st
Dubs-2nd
Cavs-23rd

How many more days until James is crying for more
help again?

I know JR is back, and things might change, but he was brutally bad this season
before the injury.

Also Williams and Williams <<<<<<<< Johnson and Johnson.

even the best teams are gonna have bad games and drop games that they shouldn't. all part of playing an 82 game schedule...

Deron Williams has looked bad. He is a true PG but if they're looking for him to provide a scoring boost off the bench then I don't think he will be successful.

Last year the 73 win Warriors dropped games to the Bucks and Lakers. They probably had another 1 or 2 WTF losses that I can't remember

His best use has been putting him in the P&R with LeBron when Kyrie is out. Lue finally seems to have figured that out. Deron & LeBron on the P&R have been amazing.

Yeah I think he will do fine as a true point guard. Running plays, having guys in the right position, and etc.

Just not sure if he is going to provide scoring in the limited minutes he gets. Feel me?

 

[gordontrue]

Lebron, Kyrie, & JR combined to go 2 - 22 from 3.

Yeah I agree, he's not gonna be a scorer out there. That deron williams is in the past. And in his first several games with the CAvs, I def thought he was looking for his own shot too much .

They just need him to use his size and vision to setup and run plays.

Cavs tanking games because they're scared of the Heat. Just amazing.

I'm pretty confident at this point that the Heat will pass up the Bulls, Pistons, and maybe even the Pacers. So if the Cavs want to avoid the Heat, they should focus on keeping their spot at 1.

3 games vs Miami including one on Saturday Night
