2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

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

Good call

No Milos.

No Austin.


This is a EPIC shit show even by Clippers injury standards.

Please trade Lou Williams before he gets broken.

Good call

It wasn't that good of a call. It had to be tough knowing LeBron was the main reason the Heat won those 2 titles only to turn around & have the nerve to leave. If Wade would have been healthy maybe they win 3 or even 4. I'm thirsty.

if you're talking the Lakers, I think that depends on how they handle the LeBron James hire. Do they keep their core that will become veterans as a result. If they Keep Kyle Kuzma, Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram - then yes they can because those three could be good enough by then to carry the team and make them attractable in the same ways the Spurs moved forward. That's not an easy task by any means, but is possible

PLUS THE POINT IS THAT IT WON'T BE JUST LEBRON, IT WILL BE ANOTHER STAR LIKE PG TOO.

I used call caps because no matter how many times I or @trojanfan12 point this out the reply is always 'but what happens when LeBron leaves' they will be just like the Cavs when he left. No they freaking won't! Plus when he leaves you probably have another title or two. Jeebus what is wrong with you mopes?

TGIF!!!

Just got home and watching the Thunder-Sixers game.

Take the over 50.

And this logic is coming from a Warriors fan.....consider the importance of that, folks.

 

[DJ Fieri]

So fantasy land?

Because that won't happen unless you are attaching Ingram to the deal.

That still might not even be enough.

Ps. You should probably take a gander at the teams that will have cap space this Summer.

We unloaded Luke's contract on the Cavs.....and before you say it wasn't as much. His contract back then (for those times) was pretty damn bad.

Is Durant or Curry retiring after the Season?

Getting traded?

Otherwise, I don't see more than one ring, and in all honesty, I don't think he'd even win one.

DJ, nobody is taking that contract without you adding Lonzo or Ingram.

No matter how many times you say it, I'm not buying it.

Deng is completely cooked.

Come Summertime, one of us will be using your favorite saying...

I just got a call from a private number. I answered and said: "Okay, I hid the body and threw the gun into the pool. I'll call you when I get to Brazil." Then hung up.

Only 1 person found this funny......seriously?

Logic doesn't depend on what team you root for. 2+2 = 4 even for Ws fans.

After NEXT year Klay probably leaves the Ws. The year after Dray probably does. The Warriors window is last year (guaranteed ring, which they got), this year (probable ring, not nearly as sure), and next year (likely favorites but will be the hardest of all). Next year Ws are beatable. Then LeBron and co can keep trying.

No team has won 3 in a row since MJ's Bulls. It's VERY hard to do.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Both, honestly.

Part of it too is that he is legitmately defending a lot better than he did in Cleveland. That won't show up on the stat sheet, but it has elevated his game on that end.

Also though, the fact that Kyrie is getting more early season love for MVP than LeBron is absolutely preposterous. LeBron is carrying Cleveland and arguably having his best individual season ever. Kyrie is the most important piece in a great system.

Carrying the Cavs? Listen, James is having a great season.....maybe his best. But, Love has been playing well also......I wouldn't say he is carrying the Cavs. James carried the Cavs to the Finals when they played the Spurs.....he isn't carrying the Cavs right now. They have others who are pitching in.

 

[DJ Fieri]

IMO they're not contenders right now. Adding LBJ instantly changes that. If he only stays a year or two, you think they remain contenders?

Yes.....because Ingram, Ball, and the others would be 2 years improved from maturation and having been mentored by The King.

Hmmmm...

Fair enough.

If he can play at this level for the next 3 years, yeah...

You are correct.

 

[DJ Fieri]

@trojanfan12 and I were just talking about Deandre Jordan to the Lakers.

If his price tag is too hefty, maybe a John Henson?

LOL

Who would we trade to the Cipps to get him?
