2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

I have no idea what is wrong with Parker or Murray. Both injuries are sketchy.
They are the two super fast guards who can get at least run with Lillard/McCollum.

The Blazers backcourt is outscoring the Spurs backcourt 59-14 through 3 quarters
Maybe, if Ginobili was 35 instead of 39, we could probably get by a little....but that is asking a lot of him.

If Parker is not around for the playoffs, the Spurs could be vulnerable to fast attacking guards.

Fuck Lebron. Don't need him.

Also Whiteside who guarded AD most of the night forced him into a 7-17 shooting night but he can't guard out on the perimeter lol. If you know anything about AD then you would know that he is barely in the post.

Great night for the Heat. They win while both the Pistons and Bulls lose.

@Mecca it's all on your Clippers to make this almost a perfect night for Miami

Doesn't surprise or disappoint me at all for 2 reasons.

1.) Lebron literally averages a near triple double every single season. It's what everyone is used to and expects from him. So, in a sense, we just take it for granted that he's going to do that and that works against him.

2.) There are at least 2 players having better seasons, 1 of whom is on the verge of making history.

#2 is wrong. Those 2 are putting up gaudier basic stats, but you wouldn't take either over LeBron, simple fact. He's the MVP and has been 6 years+ running.

You're wrong

It really fucking kills me every time, when professional players don't know when to foul

Then the injuries started.

Injuries are an unacceptable excuse....so I was told earlier

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

The Spurs could've had an extra 3 seconds, if they foul when they were supposed to.

It's not an excuse, it's the truth.

I was told it is an excuse. I agree with you. Just telling you what I was told.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Manu misses the first and makes the second trying to miss on purpose

Fitting way to end it

That sums up how badly the backcourt looks right now with the #1 and #2 PGs in streetclothes.

They got outscored 72-27 by the Blazers guards tonight.

Good to see the Mavs, Blazers, and Heat all win. Would have been nice if the Wolves and Hornets had also....oh well. Kings probably gonna lose too.

We're looking out for you

I knew I could trust Whiteside to slow down AD.

 

[bksballer89]

Great sequence from the 4th quarter tonight.

1) Hassan great pressure defense on AD to prevent a pass to Cousins in the post.

2) Look at all the work Johnson does on Cousins in the post to deny him post position.

3) Johnson and Whiteside end this great defensive possession as they both converge on AD to force the shot clock violation.
