2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

I wasn't thrilled about seeing Winslow back, but if he's not force fed then he's another body who plays hard whenever he's on the court.

I do like that he's hitting his 3's more though. Going back to before his injury, I think he made 8 of his past 13 attempts. I like the rotation today.

Shiiiit. @Bolts would kill to have a winning team for 1 year. Last time the Kings were legit is when they rolled out Webber and White chocolate.

I would gladly suffer through another decade of shit teams, stupid drafting, and 20 head coaches if the Kings won the NBA title right before it. I need it!

Refs are so hilariously bad.

Pelicans down 2 with seconds left and Davis clearly fouled by 2 Knicks but refs refuse to make the call

OT in MSG

Knicks are becoming the bad team we all knew they were.

 

[bksballer89]

The East and West playoffs race look pretty set IMO. In both conferences, there is only one team currently not in the top 8 that can make the playoffs. In the east, that team is Philly and in the west, that team is the Clippers.

No way we see a Warriors v Cavs finals again.

Bad for the NBA anyway.

Bad in what way lol.

Have you seen the Cavs/Warriors ratings?

You mean the ratings that go up no matter what because of advancement in technology? Like the NBA League pass that is now available all over the world and wasn't a decade ago.

25 years ago you had to watch at through cable, at home or a bar. Now you can watch it on the crapper at Dennys through your phone. That is why the ratings are up.

Bad because it get boring as hell.

Not really any NBA teams that are going to stop it. NBA ratings seem to do fine.

Cavs and Warriors get huge ratings because look at the star talent that is on those teams. You have 3 top 10 players (including the best player in the world) and 5 or 6 top 20 players.

You really think let's say a Raptors/Spurs finals get close to those ratings? Hell no

25 years ago the NBA Finals was on NBC (public TV). Living in Miami, a lot of the Heat games were on UPN (public TV). Again, if it was bad for the NBA, ratings would go down. They're not, so this whole notion that it's going to ruin the NBA is a "I'm a marketing whizz" schtick gone sour.

Didn't you know that the NBA would salivate at the opportunity of the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns meeting in the Finals this year?

I also don't think it's boring as hell. The intensity of these games even in their 2 regular season meetings is crazy.

KD vs. Lebron is the NBA's cash cow narrative. Your two best players in the league going at it over a 7-game series. The most prolific NBA offense (Warriors) being show-cased. Clearly bad for ratings.

So a Rockets v Celtics finals would be bad?

 

[logic]

14-4 since December 9th. 2nd best in the league. Only behind the Warriors who are 14-3 in that same stretch.

I'm sure @logic will find a way to discredit the Heat as always

Not at all. I was going to post they have been even more impressive to spite my previous comments. And during the same stretch the Pistons have driven off a cliff. ...losing to Chicago

Not bad but it wouldn't do as great as Cavs/Warriors in terms of ratings.

A lot of people who aren't watching the NBA now are just waiting to see Cavs/Warriors finals
