2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

That's easy. Blake Griffin is the much taller midget.

Now, if we are asked to consider contracts in context with their actual value, than I take Beasley because he is a bargain and Blake is a bad contract.

I agree.

Beasley's problems are self inflicted.

Behavior and attitude or he would have been more successful.

* purposely ignores defense, he could have been Cedric Ceballos*

Plus, he's not even in the top 5 of bad #2 overall picks in the last two decades....imo

Swift, Darko, Derek Williams, Evan Turner because of that ludicrous contract, Thabeet....all worse.

And let's be honest.

Kidd-Gilchrest, Marvin Williams weren't great picks at that spot either.

Honorable mention to Emeka Okafor.

My God....

I just looked at the 2012 draft class and I can't believe how many of those guys washed out...lol

If we redrafted....

This is a shitshow.

Obviously, The Brow stays #1.

But, does Draymond who went 35th go 2nd or Dame who went #6?

Beal would be fourth, I'd probably bring Middleton from #39 to 5th.

Drummond, Harrison Barnes and Fournier next.

Waiters, Barton, Crowder.

The rest of the draft class is a abortion of epic proportions.

Cause the undrafted Jonathon Simmons is better than all of them.

LMAO I just looked at it. At least most of the lottery picks are still in the league except Thomas Robinson and Kendall Marshall.

Feels like the Heat play every Sunday lol. They're in a stretch where they play 5 straight on Sunday

That isn't really fair to put Turner on the list because of his contract. He has been MUCH more productive than Beasley. There is a reason Beasley isn't making much money and has been DNP coach's decision hundreds of times in his career.

Concede.

But, outside of that one year in Boston, when has he looked like a GOOD Nba player, let alone worthy of the #2 pick?

 

[Wishbone]

Player A shooting % .618, 3 pt .300, FT .589 ,Rebounds 11.8, assists 2.1, steals 1.1, blocks 1.1 , PPG 18.8


Player B shooting % .532 , 3 pt .379, FT. 774, Rebounds 12.4, assists 1.2, steals,1.3, blocks 1.6, PPG 26.2


same MPG played.

Blake

White, Robinson, Marshall are the names that stand out.

A week ago, somebody was teasing me about the pick we gave the Celtics to hire Doc Rivers.

Don't get me wrong, if they gave up more than a pre-chewed stick of bubble gum and a half deflated soccer ball, that was too much.

But, if the Clippers keep Clipping, that pick could convert to a 2nd rounder.

We have our pick this year.

So, might as well keep the free fall going.

Spurs' Parker to make season debut vs. Mavs

Concede.

He hasn't. But I don't think it is fair to put him on the list of epic busts either. He is a bust, but he is at least a rotational player which is more than what the others on that list can say.

 

[bksballer89]

I have no idea what I just watched but the Heat trail the Bulls 13-7 after the 1st.

So very ugly. How do you score only 7 in a quarter? And if you do, how does the other team not get at least 20?

We've been playing like shit all day. To answer your 2nd question, they're the Bulls lol

Damn it Kings....could have had Lillard.

Okay.

But, if I have to take him off, shouldn't Marvin Williams come off too?

Marvin > Turner.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Lmao @ the Freak telling his assistant Coach " I will fuck you up " on live television yesterday..lol

Uh...ok.

I would not wanna mess with him.

The guy's worked hard on his body and is ferocious.

So, I agree...lol

Mitchell was clowning the Bucks, Giannis included.

So, he was just frustrated.
