2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

That wouldn't surprise me. I still don't like them though. And I'm not happy that they are better than the Celtics.

well, they ARE the Celtics, soooo...

 

[Black Adam]

but take heart, Wamu. least they ain't the Cavs...

This is exactly what Whiteside was talking about in that article I posted a few weeks ago. There needs to be more clarification on what makes one an AS. Is it having a good season on a good team aka your squad being in the playoffs or is it just putting up crazy #'s?

Agree.

Horford and all 4 Warriors deserve to go in because of winning....imo

But, Horford and Dray don't have great stats.

You put Dame in with Crazy good stats, not a high level of winning.

You put Drummond in with Crazy good stats, 3 games under .500.

You put 2 Wizards in and they are behind the Heat in the standings.

Shit, why not put Booker in if there is no rhyme or reason?

Yeah @ least they ain't the Lakers though!

Hey you leave Al Horford alone. Talk shit about Draymond though. He deserves it. Kick it!

The drummond thing just made no sense. His team was on a 7 or 8 game losing streak and in a free fall when they chose him to replace Wall.

Both those Dudes deserve to be All stars.

Lebron's team needed a big after losing Boogie to injury. Could've been Whiteside I guess, but stats-wise they're comparable: 14.8/15.3/1.4 vs 14.6/11.9/1.8

What other Eastern big would you put in?

I get your point but that's now choosing a reserve works. From everything I heard, Silver just selects the reserve with the most votes from the coach so Drummond was at the top of that list. Going to assume Ben Simmons is 2nd and will be named later as K-Love replacement.

My bigger issue is how these coaches are selecting these reserves. Are we awarding players who teams are having big time success or are we just going by the best numbers?

Does it really matter? It's an exhibition game / 3 and dunk show.

It does to the players.

Thank goodness they did away with tying Allstar appearances to contracts.

The West put in Dame to replace Boogie.

They don't usually go by position when they name injury replacements.

Yeah it does especially for those who never made an AS game. Kinda a big deal to say you made an AS team.

 

[Bolts]

Cavs should get Hill.

Hill for the Cavs 1st round pick sounds good to me, they could get KK too who would help their defense and rebounding. I'm a fan of Kosta but if he's able to help get the Kings a 1st round pick they should trade him.

It depends on the team, apparently.

Wall has 37 games played, Chris Paul has 31......which is the same number as Embiid.

Numbers are almost identical, records are not even close.

One got in, one didn't.

Ridiculous.

The Cavs are insane to think Hill would leave money on the table.

Fuck that.

Can players negotiate the same type of bullshit?

We will trade for you but you have to agree that we won't have to pay you the last year if LeBron decides to leave?

Lmfao

True. Things could change though, given they are drafting teams regardless of conference.

Heart of the matter: Cavs need a new owner.
