2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

That would be the worst possible outcome for them. They aren't doing anything if they make it. They're far better off hoping they hit the lottery for Bagley or Doncic. Just wait a couple of weeks. I'm sure Griffin will hurt himself again

Every time a guy returns from injury, another Clippers player gets carted off on a stretcher the very same game.

This is exactly what I expected.


Lakers Trade News: DeMarcus Cousins the top target at deadline

Well, this is definitely starting to get interesting. Thanks to some folks on here (you included) and the fact that Boogie seems to have been on his best behavior with the Pelicans, I'm more ok with this idea than when it first started coming up.

But, if it happens, I'm still not gonna be able to watch without covering my eyes for awhile. lol

 

[trojanfan12]

If I were a Lakers fan, I'd rather it was Kuzma over Ingram.

^^^This^^^

I'd rather keep them both, but if one has to go, it should be Kuzma. He is likely already about as good as he's going to be (which looks to be pretty darn good). Ingram has the potential to be a star. He's a much better player than he was last year, is still learning how to play and hasn't even filled out yet (although "filled out" for him may mean built like KD lol).

 

[trojanfan12]

Not surprising. With all of the talk in the media about how they are going after 2 max players and which players have to go to make it happen...there's bound to be some frustration. Especially with a bunch of young guys who aren't used to dealing with that yet.

 

[trojanfan12]

I said it earlier. I don't take the Rockets seriously. They were on a nice run earlier this season, but let me know what that dynamic looks like come May.

They are losing for the same reasons that every good D'Antoni coached team loses...lack of attention to detail. His Suns teams used to lose for the same reasons. It's why they could never get past the Spurs.

In close games/series, it always comes down to poor execution, a bad turnover, or in the case of the "Horry hipcheck" series, coming off the bench during an altercation when no one on the Spurs did. It's those "attention to detail" kinds of things that always cost them.

It's why good D'Antoni teams are always fun to watch, but will likely never win a title or even make the finals.

Crazy.

Magic said they may wait till summer of 2019 recently

 

[DJ Fieri]

If we wait another year I'm done and looking for a new fucking team. Never seen this much losing since I have been a fan.

Not happy

Wheat grass is working.

Greenest poop I've ever seen.

And we're still better than the bRuins. lol

Anyone know who the fuck this guy is and if I should take him seriously?

 

[trojanfan12]

2019 is more of a fallback position. As in "if we don't get any max FA's this year, we go after them again in 2019."

The goal is to get them this year.

Never heard of him. Wouldn't read much into it. Seems like he is a wrestling guy and not a sports guy

* wipes sweat from brow*

Good.

They don't usually put fan shit on the Hoopshype front page. So, I was a lil nervous.

That pick might not be great and I want no parts of Tristan and even less of maxing that midget.

Why trade Lou Williams for a shorter, broken more expensive uber version of himself?

You want to get SOMEBODY.

But, not just ANYBODY.

That is a tremendous overpay. Why would Isaiah Thomas be in the deal? TT + Brooklyn pick for DJ makes sense.

Because the CAvs don't value him and know they aren't going to max him.
