2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Black Adam]

I just googled ' informed' and Wiggys bio came up.

you guys sure it came up 'ridiculously well informed"? or just ridiculous...?

See, my kids aren't in to Zelda.

One is psycho for Skylanders and the other is all about Yo Kai Watch and pokemon.

Pokemon's still popular? my 2 zebras were into them...

Warriors are a fucking mess right now

 

[msgkings322]

They have turned into a shitty 3 point shooting team. It's so fucking frustrating.

I guess if the ship is righted for the playoffs it's all good. But god damn.

Yes. Yes they are.

Shout out to the Chicago Bulls for stinking up the joint tonight.

Down 28 in the 4th

On the other hand, the Pacers are useless.

 

[bksballer89]

So if the scores remain the same then Miami will be tied with Chicago, half game behind Milwaukee, full game behind Detroit, and 2 games behind of Indiana.

BTW the Heat play Indiana on Sunday. There is a chance they can wake up Monday morning only a half game behind the Pacers

Like I said. Bulls can't shoot the 3 and probably won't even make the playoffs. Cleveland's biggest challenger though.

 

[bksballer89]

And the Warriors lose again. This a bit concerning if I'm a Warriors fan.

 

[Bolts]

Time for the Kings to keep that losing streak going.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Thanks T-Wolves

I was worried about this swing with Tony Parker and Kawahi not playing tomorrow.

Worst case, is that nothing changes thanks to tonights upset.
Tommorows game seems like it might be something of a dud despite the hype.

i would not be surprised if both teams simply rest everyone.

its what happens when you lose Kevin Durant.

If the Warriors get Durant back and hes healthy they wil have a great chance to win a title- if his injury lingers i dont see them getting out of the West with the way the Spurs are playing.

as i have said over and over- you have to have some luck to win a title......everything needs to line up. Some years it happens- some it doesnt matter- things just dont go your way.

This is why never in NBA history have 2 teams met 3 Finals in a row- some thing always goes wrong. Not saying its the Warriors- or even the Cavs that will miss out- just saying its unprecedented for 2 teams to make the Finals 3 straight times - becuase no matter how good you are- you gotta be fortunate as well.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I think the Cavs will prob have a rough march- on the road with a relatively tough schedule- just like the Warriors are having now too-

but i dont think anyone would pick against either team winning their conference. Each team has plenty of time to get it right- and the last thing either team should be owrrying about is the regular season.

 

[trojanfan12]

He's already invested in over 15 start ups in the 3 years he's been here. The financial incentive for him is exponentially more than when he took a pay cut years ago.

Again, I'm not saying it's a done deal he will opt to do it again, just saying that it's not outside the realm of possibility. Much more so than say Livingston.

He gone. Wiggy said so.

 

[WiggyRuss]

ill tell ya though- i realize the Cavs lost last night- but holy shit- even at 32 lebron is style just an unreal athlete...he had a handful of crazy dunks--- a couple i just couldnt believe- one in particular i think lebron surprised himself on.

Kyrie had a couple disgusting moves as well- one late spin move in the lane that was just kobe-eque...its so much fun watching htose 2 guys play on a nightly basis- you see stuff that you just dont see many other places thats for sure.

 

[WiggyRuss]

He gone. Wiggy said so.

well - the precedent for guys taking a substantial pay cut when they are offered a substantial raise is pretty thin.

the dude makes about 11M- is he gonna take 5M if hes offered 15? Maybe he doesnt get 15 and only gets 12

i cant imagine any guy who is a top 20-25 free agent getting less than that though, can u?




IS it possible hes back? sure -

is it likely hes back? absolutely not.

 

[TJL]

Weight, it's Friday night, take your informed ass to the bar or something and stfu

 

[trojanfan12]

Pretty sure @TJL already did.
