2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

k, knew we were a bad ft shooting team. DIDN'T know we were bottom 10...

#12 Middle Tennessee won and #11 USC beat #6 SMU.

USC had a guy hit a 3 with 37 seconds left and Notre Dame damn near got upset by Princeton who missed a game winning 3 at the buzzer.

Middle Tennessee didn't seem like an upset, they might have even been the betting favorite going in. FUSC was an upset and made the winning shot late, but overall it's been a lot of blowout wins and higher seeds winning. So far only 5 double digit seeds and 6 lower seeded teams have advanced in almost 30 games. 1 or 2 near buzzer beaters and no huge upsets(top 4 seeds losing) is boring.

Yeah Middle Tennessee were the favorites and Minnesota was not really a 5 seed. Horrible job by the committee. Somehow Minny got a 5 and Wisky got a 8th seed. It should have been the opposite way around.

As for USC, they beat SMU earlier so yeah it's a minor upset. When I talk about upsets, I want to see teams who are a top 4 seed in their region go down. Usually a 5 seed going down will do it for me but everyone knew Minnesota was not a legit 5 so it wasn't a big deal at all especially considering Middle Tennessee were the favorites.

I wanted Gators, Seminoles, or both to crash and burn.

The Lakers and Bucks were about to throwdown just now.

3 ejections.

 

[Kold]

What happened?
Edit- and second of all did we win the fight?

I caught it late but it seems like Monroe pushed Nick Young then Russell pushed Monroe afterwards. I believe Young got ejected because he received a T which was his 2nd of the night. Have no idea why they ejected Russell. Also didn't see what Young did to get ejected.

Monroe looked like the troublemaker from what I saw.

Knick Young pushed on a player for what was an excessive foul, Monroe tried to smack him in the face, and Russell got ejected with him - I didn't see what his part was

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Knick Young already had one technical, so that second technical got him an automatic ejection.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Damn, Young gets ejected a lot - That dude has a temper

Young started the fight, but not with Monroe. Monroe jumped into it when he should have stayed out of it - tried to smack young in the face. I think Russell then went after Monroe then.

Ugh, ejected for what seems like some minor pushing/shoving? I miss the 90's

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Russell ought to be ashamed of himself for that shove - I've seen babies hit stronger than that - What a whimp

It was the second technical that crucified him
