2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Bolts]

Willie Cauley-Stein looks great one night and like shit the next, the inconsistency is annoying.

@tlance win # 3 for Brooklyn this month

Thought they get 3 wins this month for sure before D'Lo got hurt then I wasn't so sure. But its nice to see Spencer Dinwiddie finding his groove. Kid looked like a star but had a really bad injury in college and was never the same. He's starting to sort of look like that guy again.

Sucks about D'Lo though. In fact, its almost the same scenario. Started the season playing really well, missed time with his knee but didn't opt for surgery, but when he came back it still took a month or two to get back to form. My guess is from last year until now, he's been playing with torn cartilage. Hopefully the surgery cleans things up

Shameful loss by the Lakers tonight. How the fuck do you lose to a Suns team coming off a back to back and they just gave up 90 pts in a half? Kuzma is like the only silver lining right now. That and Ingram showing some life as an NBA player after having a pretty poor rookie season

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Lakers might still losing games, but they have a real winner with Kyle Kuzma - 30 points and 10 rebounds tonight - youngest rookie to score like that since Magic Johnson

My concern is that the mechanics of the shot simply don't work in the NBA.

He doesn't need to change his mechanics, he needs to change his release point. His form is ugly, but it's not the problem.

 

[trojanfan12]

Wasn't that Robert Horry?

Yes.

 

[trojanfan12]

I just saw that. There's something wrong w/ KD. He got issues.

I'd imagine that all of that sand in his vagina is pretty uncomfortable.

 

[trojanfan12]

He's too good of a player to be acting like this. And I can't think of another NBAer that's made a bigger jackass out of himself lately.

Lately? I can't either. But Lebron, when he first went to the Heat, would give him a real run for his money.

 

[trojanfan12]

And while there's no question LeBron's a jackass he's never gone to the lengths KD has to defend himself.

Actually, he has.

 

[trojanfan12]

Cavaliers' Derrick Rose out at least 2-3 weeks, ankle to be immobilized in boot

D. Rose injured? Pretty sure that exactly no one saw that coming.


Or was it, everyone saw that coming? I can't remember.

 

[trojanfan12]

For the sprite age of 52 she's not that bad. I guess you're pulling puss that's of much higher quality though.

She'd have to agree to not talk.

 

[trojanfan12]

LeBron really leading league in minutes played?
Too funny.

Every year the players he stacks his teams with are supposed to mean that he doesn't have to do as much...

And every year he has to do more than the previous year.

Quite Frankly Kyle Kuzma is the one that has my attention

 

[DJ]

Ball had 6 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and 5 steals.




He's the devil!!!!!!!!!

Somehow I just knew when the Thunder where up 23 that they would lose in the last seconds of the game.

 

[DJ]

James might just end up being the best player ever.....the guy is amazing.....


















Cool your jets, knee jerk reactionists.......I said might.

Amazing to me they have 3 superstars and 2 of them have been clutch throughout their career and they are playing like this.....they still have time (the Cavs have a 4 game winning streak and seem to have stopped the bleeding) but it's just weird to me.

 

[tlance]

I actually think T-Lance will win our bet because Russell is another soft ass player. Had knee surgery today. Will be shocked if we see him before the end of 2017. I thought they would be a 26-29 win team and Cleveland would end up with 6th or 7th pick

Gonna be close.

I can't remember the exact term though. What was the win total we bet on?

 

[DJ]

JR Smith has reverted to the NY Knicks version of JR Smith.

 

[DJ]

Russell had surgery? Wow.
