2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

He adds opt outs.
It prob benefits him to get a long term max because then he's guaranteed the money.

you got me there. didn't consider the opt-out clauses...

 

[Wamu]

Celtics will have the best odds vs GS but will still be pretty big underdogs

I agree w/ that.

Imo, the Celtics are a better defensive team and the Warriors are better offensively.

The difference is that there's a much wider gap between the Warriors offense and Celtics offense than between the 2 defenses.

If Hayward returns and is integrated, that narrows the gap between the offenses enough that the Celtics could pull the upset if a couple of their guys go nuts, or a couple of the Warriors players are sub par (especially if one of them is KD or Steph).

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Also David West. And shoot what's not to like about the Knucklehead Twins McGee and Swaggy?

I like Bell, Looney and Mccaw too.

Let's get some dialogue on what can go wrong

That can't be real.

Team is a complete joke if this is true.

It's Lithuania. There's always a chance.

From what I read it was just for the BBB game today. Not for the actual league or any other games

Ok. That makes sense.

What do you bet that every play went to one of his boys?

Yeah, I agree with this.

Seems so. Melo had 40 and a trip double I think and Liangelo had 30.

I really don't care about this BBB tournament. Competition is shit and playing with a lot of teenagers

Sixers/Thunder on ESPN for those without LP

 

[bksballer89]

Philly play Milwaukee and Indy on the 2nd night of B2B. Will be interesting if embiid play any of those

Isn't LP free for a little while?

 

[Black Adam]

ugh, streak's over...

ah well...

 

[bksballer89]

Billy Donovan still rest Melo, PG, and Russ at the same time. Idiot

9 point lead is already down to 1 in less than 3 minutes

 

[bksballer89]

No not that I know of. I know they had a free preview the week of MLK day but they don't usually give more than a week of free preview at a time

 

[bksballer89]

MVP race is getting crowded with Steph and Russ throwing their name in there now.

6 legit candidates IMO

Durant
Curry
James
Harden
Westbrook
Irving
