2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

So it should be ok for LBJ to grab Kanter's shoulder & try to shove him to the side?

After 5 seconds of Kanter trying to make out with him... yeah.

I wish the league would stop giving out double techs in these situations. IF a guy gets up in your face you should be able to talk back without getting a tech. Draymond got one of those a few weeks ago that he didn't deserve.

I really don't have much of a problem with anything LeBron, Frank, or Kanter did, but in my opinion only Kanter deserved a tech.

I get where you're coming from... it would just be too hard to police, though.

Imagine if it was promulgated that only the instigator would be targeted for punishment. In short order, some idiot(s) would take that as license to retaliate further and further in any situation where the other guy 'started it'...

Things would get out of hand in no time. That's why it's gotta be "it takes two to tango" in most cases...

Wouldn't it have been easier to just walk away? Physically trying to move somebody isn't usually met with cooperation & could easily lead to much more.

Pretty happy with how the Sixers have played thus far this season considering their opponents are a combined 89-73, and they've only played 4 home games so far. Would be a nice road trip to get a win against the Lakers and come home for 6 straight.

You got used to Kobe doing that but was more disciplined

Took my son to his first NBA game Saturday, Cavs Mavs.

No good teams playing?

The fuck? This is the NBA forum. Get that sappy stuff outta here. There's no crying in basketball.



Wait, NVM.

Feeling very conflicted on this Celtics Warriors matchup. Need your advice on who to root against.

Well... let's see.

• One team lacks the high end "star power" that traditionally has marked the very best teams in the NBA, but still thrives due to an emphasis on hard work, defense and team play. In this respect they represent the very best of the American spirit... truth, Justice, and freedom. * Oh say can you see... *

• The other team is made up prima donna stars that collude together to form a "super team" because, deep down, they are scared to compete on a more level playing field. They want things handed to them, they want it easy... very much a Soviet styled, communist attitude. They probably wear designer Che Guevara T Shirts to da club after games and spit on an American flag every chance they get. * Booo! *

So... which side are you on, @gordontrue?

Yes, I love it.

Just started binge watching it in October.

Oh, just wait until Thursday when I start waiving my nerd flag because of Justice League...lol

Ps. One of the most UNDERRATED Movies of All-time!!

Isn't this what everyone said Dray should've been able to do? And he had someone's sack all on his head. SMH

I remember the first time Kobe got into it, Magic Johnson called him into his office and had a long talk with him. Warned him that his temper would undo him and everyone would get to him. After that Kobe never got into it again, even he got klined by Raja Bell. Just got up and smiled and never said a thing. I have to tell you I admire a person that can do that. I don't think I am one of them

I couldn't do it in my younger days & definitely can't do it now. I don't have a problem with people that want to talk trash. You can call me anything you want as long as you don't put your hands on me.
