2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Lakers+USC=#1]

In 30 seconds, Lonzo matched his shot attempts from lastnight lol

Miami is such a terrible 2nd half team

Miami is such a terrible 2nd half team

How can it not be way to soon to say that vs me saying they could easily not be a playoff team?

 

[ManuForever]

Rudy Gay (20 points, 7 rebounds) and Bryn Forbes (22 points) saved the Spurs tonight. Bench doing it all again.

What a weak ass call by these refs to hand Denver the win. Freaking joke

1) Whiteside missed 5 games

2) Every defeat came down to the final 2 minutes except the Spurs game

3) Guys are missing open looks that will eventually go in.

4) They play in the Eastern Conference

This team could easily be 7-1

Great win for Boston

Beal: Wizards best in East, control own destiny

Worked out well for him tonight.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Every time the Wizards open their mouths, they lose. Maybe they should stfu and play.

Kyle Kuzma so far early, easily the steal of the draft.

Double, double tonight 21-13.

The Wiz haven't earned a thing yet. Nada.

I read what you wrote, I understand there were only 2 games. In this situation the Lakers game being on TNT made sense.

The Lakers being on TNT ALWAYS makes sense because the Lakers RULE!!

Jason Kidd's numbers after 8 games vs. Lonzo's:

8.9 ppg, 6.6 rpg, 6.3 apg, 2.1 stocks, 6.3/2.1 A/TO, .347 FG%, .182 from 3P, 2.5 FTA per game
9.1 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 6.6 apg, 1.9 stocks, 6.6/2.8 A/TO, .326 FG%, .278 from 3P, 1.1 FTA per game

Wow. I know we all pretty much see him as a Jason Kidd type...but that's ridiculous. Damn near identical.

 

[trojanfan12]

As far as Kyrie. He had his chance for 3 years before LeBron returned to make the Cavs better, and he failed.

That's a bit unfair. It was his first what? 3 years in the league? They did improve their win total every year. They just didn't make the playoffs.

 

[trojanfan12]

as far as Hela, history's wrong. she's Loki's daughter...

I believe this may be the nerdiest thing ever posted on tHoop.

Congrats.

Wade made a mistake going to Cleveland because he can't play anymore. As far as Kyrie. He had his chance for 3 years before LeBron returned to make the Cavs better, and he failed. Wade's comment doesn't validate Irving's delusion that he's able to carry a team to the Finals.

Players mature and get better. 3 years ago he was 22. He's showing a new level this year on the Celtics, they look pretty good without Heyward even being there. I don't think he's delusional at all*.


*About his potential. About geological facts....

Congrats.

actual Norse legend. sorry...

I could've went further. the ACTUAL Hela's body was dead on the left side, and she traveled from place to place on a ship composed of human fingernails...

now THAT'S nerd mode...

Then how do you know they’ll be a bad second half?

Put it this way, we all know who the top teams are.
Some of the predicted bad teams dont look that bad.
Could be, isnt what we are.
Average teams need to win most of the games they ‘should’ win.
No way around accepting that we will prob be in a dogfight to become first round fodder.

Oubre doesn't seem like a smart guy if you ask me.

I think the jury is in on that one.

Remember the clown Wizard fan who said Oubre would be a superstar last year? I like him, don't get me wrong, but his game lacks feel. Kind of like a modern poor man's version of Ron Artest. And yeah, nothing he has done up until now leads me to believe he has much upstairs.

As a Wizards fan, I fully endorse this message.
