2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Wamu]

I would love to know. All the Lakers guards were involved from what I saw.

First I heard of this but I'm sure the Lakers started it. They be a bunch of troublemakers.

I don't think it was as much of an overreaction by Swaggy as it was the guy who pushed him. The guy was going for the ball, but he hit Swaggy in the face. Most of these guys react like that when hit in the face. In the moment, they don't know if it's intentional or not.

What Swaggy did wasn't much of a push, the 2 would have likely jawed a little bit and that would have been the end of it. We see it happen in almost every NBA game.

The guy who came in and pushed Swaggy was the one who escalated the whole thing.

If LeBron acted like that every time he got hit in the face going to the basket he would be constantly inciting brawls.

I was about to ask you what Lebron would've done.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Honestly the more i look at the video, the only person I have an issue with was Swaggy. Monroe was just defending his teammate after what thought was an unnecessary shove by Swaggy which I agree with.

totally agree....even though it was just a "snap" reaction by Young- it was completely unnecesary- if every guy in the league reacted like that when they got hit hard there would be dozens upon dozens of more ejections.

@Mecca how much does the Cavs win by? 25

Pssssh.....If the Warriors beat them by 45, the Champs should win by Fiddy.

PJ Tucker is a tough SOB- the Raptors made a nice deal getting him. Hes a great glue guy and a solid defender.

 

[Mecca]

Probably. lol

I told you get when the trade was made. Raptors are going to be a challenge for the Cavs in the 2nd round once Lowry is coming back

Boy could we have used him.

Unfortunately, Doc gave away our 1st rounder for 3 months of Jeff Green.

Blazers are up 35-12 on Atlanta. Miami may be just 3 GB behind the Hawks for 5th if this keeps up

 

[Mecca]

Who is he talking about?

I would love to know. All the Lakers guards were involved from what I saw.

 

[bksballer89]

And the Hawks next 3 games after this:

@ Charlotte
@ Washington
@ Milwaukee

Miami next 3 games

Basically can be tied with Atlanta by Friday night if things go the way I want it

I'm Today's episode of " Lavar Ball needs to stfu ".....

Magic Johnson is probably like.....


The Bruins kicked off their NCAA run Friday night with a convincing 97-80 win over Kent State, and Lonzo, to his credit, hasn't let the surrounding noise get to him. But Ball's father seems to have already turned his attention to the NBA.

"Why shouldn't they (pick Lonzo first)? ... If you've got a kid who makes everybody better, you mean to tell me you wouldn't take him over a guy that's just averaging 40 points and does all this stuff and losing? The key to the game is winning. If you want a winner, you pick my boy," LaVar told TMZ.

Fultz, whose Washington Huskies didn't make the tournament, averaged just over 23 points and nearly six rebounds and assists this season. The Huskies were just 9-22 on the season, and Fultz has already announced his intention to go pro. Despite Fultz's gaudy numbers, Ball's father, unsurprisingly, continued stumping for his son.


"Look what he did to UCLA. They 15-17 last year. You bring one dude and change the culture, that's what you want," he said. "He's going to go to the Lakers. Watch. The Lakers gonna get that ball, and then they gonna get that Ball."

LaVar things Lonzo could own prime MJ in 1-on-1.

Kings get their asses kicked but PapaG and Skal(in the 2nd half) played well. Next up is San Antonio tomorrow....fun.

What the fuck does Lebron have to do with it?

And if Lebron were actually hit even half as much as he pretends he is, he might have reason to react like that.
