2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

Yes. He is carrying them. That doesn't mean he is a solo act, but LeBron is doing the Lion's share of the work. Probably more so than at any point in his career since signing in Miami.

BS. Love is averaging 19.4ppg and has had several huge games this season. If he didn't have Love and just a bunch of guys averaging 10-11ppg, I might agree with you. But, he has a very good player in Love who is helping him a ton.

Overtime in Philly

Embiid is so filthy.

If he can just get healthy.

 

[Black Adam]

Gotta cook food. I would never ever eat sushi.

oh, i'm with you. I only ate the chicken they served...

Gobert exits Jazz-Celtics with left knee injury

Wow...

Donovan Mitchell gonna get unleashed.

This might be the worst close gm I've ever watched. Thunder/philly

 

[DJ Fieri]

Might OKC win a game in clutch time?






Embiid says nope.

 

[LAD]

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

And two years improved from now you think makes them contenders? I don't think so.

Love's stats are nearly identical to last Season.

He's been a good Robin.

But, LeBron has been Superman-esque.

It's almost impossible to have a top record without at least one or two other players having strong seasons, just because Love is averaging 20ppg doesn't mean LeBron hasn't carried them. Maybe he should try to average 40/12/12 in order to prove it.

He's totally carrying them.

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?

The problem is no one can guarantee it won't be the same as when he left Cle & Miami. What sways folks to think so is because history usually has a way of repeating it's self. So again, not sure why folks are so positive they won't be left high & dry - and why that would even be a risk considered at all.

Shit, can't they just start the other game on ESPN2?

It's entertaining.

But, I'm ready for this game to be over.

ETA: Never mind.

Hoodie Melo

 

[LAD]

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.

EXACTLY!!!!!! My freakin goodness this isn't brain surgery!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bksballer89]

Robertson needs to take a seat. They keep doubling Melo because this guy is on the court

 

[Bolts]

He's totally carrying them.

Yep, it's crazy to think otherwise. Might not be as severe as some seasons during his first Cleveland run but he's still carrying them.

 

[LAD]

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.

Klay AND Dray leaving??? I need you to look into your crystal ball & tell me the winning powerball #s for tonight.

 

[bksballer89]

Impressive win in Boston tonight by Utah

 

[bksballer89]

NO QUESTION ABOUT IT

 

[LAD]

LeBron would take a little less (in my opinion) to win more rings. PG might too.
