2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[WiggyRuss]

honestly consider this. Wiggy's been at his propaganda and endless drivel about the Cavs, LeClown, Kyrie, the supposed genius of their FO, the "deep pockets" of Gilbert, etc, etc, ad nausum...

so you figure(under NORMAL standards anyway) that if someone can bring that kinda yack on a daily basis you'd figure he'd have an ounce of confidence believing his team was unstoppable, right...?

just sayin'...

no team is unstoppable....if Scottie Pippen pulled his hamstring and missed the NBA Finals- Michael could score 40 every game and still lose. The Warriors are one of the most talented team in NBA history- and if Durant got hurt they would be smoked....im not betting on the Cavs if i dont know they will be healthy in the Finals.

If they get to the Finals and are healthy? What did i do last year? despite being underdogs according to Vegas- i still bet on them. WIll do the same this year as well.

i actually will back my team- and have proof- unlike other pussies around here. lol.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I have to agree that if KD doesn't play I'm worried about their chances too.

Only because of their depth.

Those minutes will start to pile up by the time they reach the finals.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

at the very leaest you can trade him to Boston for a boatload. Plenty of teams with a bunch of assets looking for an All Star.---- might not even be a bad idea with Paul and DeAndre there to get a couple wings...Jaylen Brown, a Nets pick and Rozier?

He's gonna be UFA if he opts out.

Boston doesn't have to give us jack.

[Black Adam]

btw, Turnup was more than willing to take your bet on his team. why wouldn't you do the same...?

#nowwhosthepussy?

only condition i have is if the team is healthy. id give that to anyone- no one is going to bet on their team if there key players are missing. id extend that courtesy to anyone betting o na series thats months away.

you just said he was coming back- and thats what all signs point to as well.

all i'm saying here is weigh the near-endless smack you been blabbing all this time, then look at how you back off when your 'fanship' is tested...

Exactly my point...

 

[LAD]

i dunno- the Cavs are in first place though- the Heat are currently on the verge of the bottom of the eastern conference playoffs/lotto...that makes me feel better-

though you are def. right.

that's flip flopping- first you beat Whiteside's brow based on an individual stat but when I point out the same negative about LBJ you turn it into a team stat.

Most certainly. The Warriors need to keep the #1 seed in order for the playoff brackets to work in their favor. If they slide down to #2 that changes things for them drastically- even with KD back.

 

[CitySushi]

I'd be willing to bet the Warriors will win the championship with anyone for any stakes.

Caveat:
Warriors must be fully healthy
Warriors must have home court advantage
Warriors must be given a +15 point spread in any game
Warriors must not have Scott Foster referee any of their games
Warriors must have at least 2 additional days of rest than their opponent
Warriors must have at least 30% fan base at the traveling arena
Warriors opponent can't take any shots within 32.5 feet of the basket
Warriors opponent must play with a 4 second shot clock.

Otherwise, BRING IT ON BITCHES.

with KD back in the lineup it'd be awful hard to bet against them even as a #2 seed. but i hear what you're saying...

did you and Wiggy discuss this...?

how about not during a hail storm...?

 

[LAD]

Definitely- I believe they can beat every team in the post season- no matter how the seeding ends up. But would prefer they take the path of least resistance if possible. Because as @Mecca pointed out their depth will be tested.

All you've done so far is TALK bout what you're GOING to do. We've already been clear on the terms of the bet being different if one team suffers adequate injuries.

And I'm not talking about the 12th man either. So I don't want to hear anything like oh Korver was having a bad series & that's why they lost since he most likely won't be in the normal rotation against the Dubs.

Handing you the crown right now...lol

Sounds about right Wiggy!!!!

Yep.

Harder, not impossible.

I just worry about them having anything left when they face the Cavs.

i just thought the meme was funny. lol.
