2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[True Lakers Fan]

who didn't know losing CP3 was gonna be huge...?

In my opinion, they had two players carrying the load and CP3 was one of them. Now it's a one man show. Griffin is it. Andre Jordan is okay, but not spectacular, and the rest of them good players, but not great players.

Lonzo Ball was the youngest player to ever get a triple double......!!!!!!

 

[DJ Fieri]

Whose record did he beat?

LeBron James.....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Ball also had 4 blocks and 3 steals.....most importantly, he was aggressive on offense and made 7 of 12 FG's.

 

[Gman]

I have to admit... the snarky side of me what to post something like, "Lakers lost their 3rd in a row" followed by a bunch of exclamation points.

 

[bksballer89]

This is a guy who thought he deserved the max in the summer......

Carlisle on Noel's DNP: Minutes must be earned

Ball also had 4 blocks and 3 steals.....most importantly, he was aggressive on offense and made 7 of 12 FG's.

And the Lakers still lost the game.

Thats exactly what I was planning.
Do I need to find or can I trust your judgement?

@Heatles84 I wasn't expecting that, but I'll take it.

It's funny...they were one of the very few undefeated teams left at the start of the season I think. Weren't they 4-0 to start?

The last undefeated and haven't won a fucking game since.

* starts to feel dizzy *

@TurnUpTheHeat what do you think?

Sorry, people.....I was channeling Wiggy......he always used to tout Irving's great accomplishments at a young age.

Took Stacey home and got my Starbucks.....another great day of football on the horizon.

Injuries.....if not for that......they'd still be an impressive team.

At some point, past 2 years playoffs for me, that excuse goes out the window.

The Celtics lost almost every starter in trades.

Lost almost every starter to injury during the Season.

Still kicking ass and taking names.

Ditto for the Spurs.

Ballmer has to fire Doc.

Too early into the post CP era. Doesn't he deserve at least this season to show what he can do with the new group?

PS: Is Ballmer a control freak like Jones or Cuban? Or does he let his people handle basketball matters?

He isn't a control freak.

But, he is starting to listen to the folks who told him not to give Doc the keys to the castle.

Adam Silver told him not to make Rivers President and Coach.

Clearly he was right.

No, Doc doesn't deserve anymore time.

Over the last few years, I can't tell you how many games the Clippers have lost after being up 20 points.

It's fucking ridiculous.

I'm not upset about Cp3 leaving.

But, let's not pretend Doc doesn't shoulder the blame for that situation with he and Blake.

They need a new voice.

Adam Silver said that? Isn't that meddling?

They need a new voice.

Ok......the question would be, "Who?"
