2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Black Adam]

Sorry to hear that. It truly is a sad day in Los Angeles for basketball when the Lakers are better than the Clippers. And I don't want that to happen.

well, all I can say is...

The Bulls got their 1-2 punch

MJ and Scottiev2.0

Supposedly Lavar won't be in Cleveland tonight.

Never thought there'd be a reason to be jealous of Cleveland.

Can you blame him?

 

[Wamu]

Can you blame him?

Yeah I'm sure he doesn't want to be there live when his is embarrassed tonight.

Ehh I think it will be a close game. Cleveland usually let bad teams hang around a lot then pull away in the 4th.

So, @LAD?

Whether Or Not LeBron James Joins The Lakers In Free Agency, It's Time To Set Aside The Hate - Lakers Nation

Naw, I'm not buying into this.

He undeniably is a great talent. Can't argue that. But, here's some things to consider if he goes to the Lakers:

1. How many of their new pieces will they have to give up to get him
2. How many years will they sign him - (he will be on the other side of 33 next summer & father time is undefeated)
3. Will the impact of playing with him stunt the growth of the rookies (more specifically Ball & Kuzma)
4. Does anyone really think he wants to finish out his career as a Laker
5. What will be the plan post LBJ (we know he only likes to sign 1 year deals - so what position will the team be in when he leaves after a year or two)

So what do the Lakers do about LaVar? Apparently Magic's talk with him fell on deaf ears. SMH

#2, #4, and #5 directly contradict each other

Step 1. Charter flight

Step 2. Pick up tab

Step 3. Work with Trump to revoke Citizenship.

Have you guys seen the place they will be staying.

Shit, if I wasn't worried about Terrorism, sign me up for a month.

LeBron James tells young fan he'll dunk on Lonzo Ball for him

 

[bksballer89]

Preseason I thought they could get 30 wins and if everything broke right for them (ie a very bad East), they could conceivably contend for the 8th seed at a low 35 wins (again, very bad East). The East is better than I thought but even still, they can still make that 30 wins. And if Lin and Russell weren't hurt, I legitimately think they could hang in the race for the playoffs. Atkinson is changing the culture. They're playing the right way, he's utilizing talent, and players are buying in

It's amazing how well teams can play when they don't have to think about tanking.

 

[Robotech]

I tried to tell people this before preseason but they're even playing better than I anticipated considering they been without Lin for the entire season and Russell for most of the season.

Spencer Dinwiddie has done a very nice job.
