2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

That doesn’t make sense to me. Draymond gets a warning with a 1st tech every time, continues to bitch and whine and usually doesn’t get ejected. Bron must have said, “fuck your mom” and maybe his mom passed away recently. Not sure why you just toss him lol

Draymond doesn't even get a tech half the time, lol.

LeBron definitely deserved a tech for that, but tossing him was an overreaction. Ref looked scared.

I haven't seen him play much, but from what I have seen, I like his game. As a big center it appears to me he has some talent if they would run the offense through him, I think the Heat would do better.

It is a tough matchup for Whiteside to guard Love on the perimeter. Whiteside has to punish him at the other end. (if not, they might as well play Bam - which they did - Whiteside only played 19 minutes)

Tyler Johnson has been really disappointing. (not just last night) Interesting stat -- Tylers FG% (32%) is lower than his 3-point % (33%).

Love and Lue deserve some credit.

Back to back games against Embiid and Whiteside... Love at Center worked out pretty well.

Definitely has contributed to this mediocre start to the season.

Well I'm not sure that I would give Love a whole lot of credit for his play against Embiid. Embiid did score 30.

The Sixers shooting 3-28 from the arc was likely the biggest reason for the Cavs winning that game. Or maybe it was Reddick and Covington shooting a collective 5-27 from the field.

Lebron was a monster in the game. But the Sixers complete implosion shooting the ball was shocking.

Harsh!!

This where the Lakers start their championship run. - Lavar

Mormon?

Wow...Latter Day Saints I assume?

Cause, a couple of their branches don't accept blacks as full members.

Or, maybe it's the Priesthood...

Curse of Cain and all that Jazz.

No offense to any Mormons.

I may be remembering this wrong.

blacks were largely believed to be the sons of Cain. the darkness of our skins was supposed to be the sign...

Hey at least we're not 8-11 like OKC

Heat are about to go on a run. I could feel it. I'm expecting the Heat to be at least 6 games over .500 when they wake up after MLK day

Huh, I didn't know this about Mormons.

Wow.....James ejected.

So now where's the debate? Remember when Steph threw his mouth piece & everyone came on here saying he is spoiled, etc., etc. Here we have a similar situation, but for some reason LBJ shouldn't be held to the same standard?

Did Hurricane hack your account?

Schedule is very favorable. Lots of winnable games.

First murders in the bible is how it was explained to me.

Man, if that is truly how blacks were/are seen, it explains a lot.

I don't know what he said.

But, according to those in the know, the toss was warranted.

Seemed quick to me at the time.

Most that I know have rejected that line of thinking.

But, not all.

It was one of my daughters maternal uncles who actually contacted me when she was placed in foster care.

None of them wanted to take her in. But, he cared enough to find someone who would.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Is Curry playing tonight?

 

[tducey]

I watched the Heat/Cavs game last night. Thought it was neat that it was the first game Lebron had ever been ejected in his whole career.

 

[Heatles84]

Yeah, I guess there's that.
