2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

They are down by 17 and play at a pace where the Suns can make a run and make that a game....it's not even halftime yet.

The Suns are so awful. Please don't put them on national TV again.

Bizarre. They have some great young talent but no leadership in the FO.

Celtics beat the Warriors 92-88. Rockets have 90 points....in the first half. Suns might as well play with 4 guys.

Gotta hand it to the Celtics. They could've easily wilted when they were down by 17, but they fought back. Strange to see the Warriors get held to under 90 points, but that Celtics D is for real.

There doesn't seem to be any desire to win. It looks like another tank job. Tanking teams shouldn't be on nationally televised games, in my opinion.

I'm very jealous that the Celtics have Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. Damn, the Celtics look set for years and years.

Even when Irving and Heyward are declining and becoming 3rd and 4th options.....Tatum and Brown will carry the franchise forward.

Ainge has done a good job in Boston after looking bad in Phoenix as a HC.....I didn't think he'd do well in the FO. I was wrong.

Yes, I also know the 2 jobs are very different but I thought he would fail in his post playing career.

I don't remember what happened when Ainge was the HC in Phoenix but his record wasn't all that bad. Won .602% of his games & never had a losing season. He did get knocked outta the playoffs in the 1st round 3 years in a row though.

They had a fairly decent record but he had talent when he was there. Don't just judge him based on their record.

I think he was like Del Harris as a HC with the Lakers. Good record but his coaching wasn't very good.

Me saying bad might have been an over-reaction......slightly. He wasn't a bad coach but he wasn't great either......

Average IMO.

Okay if all the talent was there & Ainge was the only problem why did it take the Suns an additional 5 years to reach the conference finals? And I'm not saying Ainge was a great HC but it doesn't seem like he was the teams only issue.

 

[DJ]

Nash, Kevin Johnson, Danny Manning, Jason Kidd, Tom Gugliotta, Rex Chapman, Cliff Robinson, Penny Hardaway......

Damn, that was a while back......I'm aging.

Give Pierce and Garnett credit for agreeing to the trade to the Nets. Both parties were well served. No one in Boston is forgetting what Area 21 did to set this up for the next generation of fans

I didn't know Carmello Anthony was the lead singer of Digital Underground.

The only thing I remember about Ainge's coaching career is when the towel got thrown in his face.

Wasn't that Robert Horry?

I can't remember. The towel was the real star of that incident.

Phantom calls .

My goodness, the struggle is real!

The Pelicans are just 8-7 but they could be a scary team to face in the postseason.

Big men, guards, closers.....geez.
