2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

Anyone want to bet the Cavs don't represent the East in the finals?

Lakers really looked good last night.

 

[Sparhawk]

Lakers 7-2 over the last 9 games.

9th worst team in the NBA now and only getting better.

Enjoy that fucking pick Philly!

So long as Boston doesn't get it, we will.
We will.

 

[Black Adam]

Soooooooo...

wonder if Wamu is gonna wanna talk any shit about the Lakers this morning...







...the bastid...

Boston is done unless they make a move. Their ceiling is the 2nd round with this current roster

Cool. Who do you think you'll take with the 14th pick?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Cleveland is done unless they make a move. Their ceiling is the 2nd round with this current roster

Both of these sites predict the 8th pick.
I'd be happy if Mikal Bridges is there.
Difficult to say, though, because it's hard to predict where Trae Young goes and if Porter falls because of the injury.

Fucking Celtics.....

even BSpn is saying the Celtics are the favorites to come outta the East...

They have plenty of time to turn it around in theory but when Boston made their pickups......I said it would be the Celtics.

i ain't so sure...

something's REALLY off about those clowns this season...

 

[trojanfan12]

This free throw shooting is gonna kill me before the season is over.

Having said that:

The Lakers are clearly the best team in the Eastern Conference.

Lakers fer Eastern Conference Champz!!

I think Boston could sneak into the ECF. But as of right now, I don't see them in the Finals. Outside of Cleveland, who in the East could take out the Celtics in a best of 7? I don't trust Toronto in the playoffs.

@DJ....Lmao....nvm....you don't want him now anyway because he took off his jersey, right?

Ps. This sounds like bullshit.



Sam Amick on LeBron James’ future: “I don’t know where he goes, but with the mood of the moment – for a lot of obvious reasons – I’m leaning toward him leaving. I understand people who say that the [best way] to stay in the Finals every year is staying in Cleveland because of the East, but Boston and Toronto are legit so I think that narrative is a little outdated at this point. If he stays in Cleveland, I don’t think there’s any guarantee whatsoever that he’s getting back to the Finals. The days of surrounding LeBron with some halfway-capable players and he’ll take them to the Finals are gone. I think the relationship stuff is also a major factor. I talked about Dan Gilbert a bit earlier and the reality that doesn’t get talked about enough is that, from my understanding, LeBron and Dan mended fences enough to get to this point where they wo
On Sam hearing that LeBron looking at a school in LA was a huge misunderstanding. Sam Amick: “Someone I really trust told me that the school subplot – that LeBron and his wife were already looking for a school in Los Angeles for their kids – was a complete misunderstanding. Maybe it’s not the case. But they said that he was shooting a commercial near that school and said, ‘I want to take a breather and get some shots in. Where is there a court near here?’ And he wound up shooting hoops at the school and then afterward, they were just poking around before going back to the commercial shoot. But they said he was shooting a commercial right nearby and that’s the only reason he was in the neighborhood. But who knows?”

Bet?

I don't think the Cavs make it either.

But, you take the Celtics, I will take the Cavs just so we can get your streak to 100% WRONG and you can shut up about this one thing in 1000 you got right.

5k.

Same. The only thing that gives me some hope for Toronto is DeRozan now shooting the 3 ball.

The Celtics look like the best Team.

But, they got some warts too.

They are on a 4 game losing streak themselves.

I just can't with Toronto and wouldn't touch the Wiz with a ten foot pole.

We don't know what the Cavs are doing at the deadline. But, it won't be enough for a Chip.

One of those two will make it to the Finals and get cooked.

It's his backcourt mate that goes on the back of a milk carton that I'm worried about.
