2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[TurnUpTheHeat]

u watch the game last night?

LeBron was unreal in that 4th qtr. wasnt he?

He was, no doubt, but like I mentioned yesterday, Utah just took it.
It was like a matador at a bullfight.
No player should get to the rim time after time like that without any resistance.

I think in Stephen A final take today he is going to admit that Wade made a mistake leaving Miami

I mentioned last week that the Wiz cut down their practices and practice time, so the players could play all the games.

I give the guy credit. least he knows the fans are getting cheated...

I empathize with the fans that buy tickets and don't get to see a good product.

BUT... here's the thing.

What about the thousands of fans who spend their money and time watching tv games, buyging jerseys, getting league pass, etc? That makes up a huge amount of a team's revenue - moreso than ticket sales.

There is a small group of fans who only go to a game or two a year that care more about the product for that one game than they do the overall product. But the vast majority of fans care much more about the product their team puts on the floor over the course of a season - and multiple seasons - than they do about the product for any one game. And those fans are the reasons the nba is raking in the dough.

If resting a player helps the overall product--- its best for the team and the fans. At least most of the fans. It does really suck for a few fans, though.

It was funny- when Deron Williams signed here- they were told that the Cavs dont/barely practice to save their legs....lol....seems like justa bout all teams are cutting down on practices during the stretch one- at least the likely playoff teams.

? Gobert has defnitely been the better rim protector by any stat you can find this year...not even really close

fg% at the rim, defensive plus minus, blocks etc....you know Gobert is a better player than Whiteside.

why are you posting pictures of your dad on a sports website? lol.

Gloria: the pride of Akron! Some years ago she got arrested in the projects buying crack & when she was put in the cop car she kicked out the side window. True story.

[Wamu]
