2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

I agree- you gotta tank- ive never seen a team with more on the line getting their lotto pick or not----- but it just goes to show you that Jeanie was justified in giving Jim the boot. That is as bad a signing as you can imagine.

Glad Jeannie is in charge finally.....not sure how Magic is going to turn out and absolutely hated the Pelinka (or whatever the fuck is his name is) hiring.

Whiteside isn't a dominating center? I know I took a while to get here after football ended but I thought he was absolutely dominating.

Pelinka is the guy that swindled a blind man- the Cavs former owner - in the Boozer deal- he was fired from his agency because of it.

Show me where Boston offered Indy this imaginary Paul George deal or are you still in the business of alternative facts?

show me where i said Bogut was going to be dominant for the Cavs- or are y ou still in the business of alternative facts? and thats COMMON SENSE- of course after the fact no one is going to admit to anything- at one point credible reports where a deal was done!! the only reason there wasnt a deal done was because the asking price was ASTRONOMICAL for paul george

ya know why?

because he is a star in his prime- the hardest thing ot get in the NBA. IT is also the thing every great team needs.

 

[DJ Fieri]

This was an interesting read but I'm a little skeptical.

Rockets' Daryl Morey believes Lakers' Magic Johnson, Rob Pelinka are 'well prepared' for success

yah at least JEanie will take a common sense approach and can take a long term view without worrying about her job. im convinced jim just did those signings to try and save his own ass.

I used the word "acted" for a reason. When you figured it out then get back to me.

And as for Paul George, no offer was made. Same with Jimmy Butler. Both teams wanted the Celtics pick this year and they refused to give it up so therefore there was never any offer for made for George or Butler

i would agree that they are definitely a huge improvement over what was previouisly there.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

LOL yah- improve the bench! play against certain matchups, share the 3rd/4th big man spot with CHANNING FRYE- does that make me act like he is a "dominant center"? well maybe i guess- i mean your buddy considers whiteside "maybe the most dominat center in the league"- if Whiteside can be the "most dominatn center in the league"- maybe Bogut is "dominant" ? lol get a freaking clue.

Even with a broken leg hes an improvement over some of the Cavs bench.
James must be horrified every time he rests.

Buss had to go.....I was a little more torn on Kupchak but his tenure had run it's course. Getting Magic to come back in the fold (even with his lack of experience) was a huge win.....my favorite player of all time. And having met him several times in Los Angeles, he's truly a great guy.

See this was your chance to nut up, but you took the pussy route instead. You had nothing. This was your chance to show credibility, but you showed your ass.......again. You raved about the signing of Bogut - the tone of your responses reaked of your usual homerism.

Top to bottom, Whiteside is one of the most dominant.
Blocks, rebounds, hes as good or better then any of them.
Others have a wider variety of offense, but luckily we have plenty of outside shooters so his range is of no concern.

Told you those Pistons would stink up the joint.

BTW the ESPN basketball power index has Miami going 8-7 over the final 15 and missing out on the playoffs due to a tiebreaker with Chicago.

After the last 2 months, Miami going 8-7 to finish the year would be disappointing. I think 10-5 get us in.

Milwaukee play 11 of their final 16 on the road. Highly doubt they make it. I think it's down to us, detroit, and chicago fighting for the last 2 spots.

I never trust ESPN. Now I'm sure we get in.

Pretty crazy that Steph is already turning 30 next year. I forget that he is older than Durant.

wait...

he can't poossibly be DENYING that...

can he...?

If you switched James and George, the Pacers would be the team most likely going to the Finals and the Cavs would be fighting to make the playoffs.

You can use all the adjectives you want, but if he was all that, Pacers would be better.

Nobody is gutting their future to get him.

personally refer to 'em as BSpn for a reason...

Looks that way. Strange times.

clearly Wiggitywack is STILL denying the evidence of his own eyes...
