2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

Reverse those numbers for Embiid tonight...

Still only 15 minutes though (by plan of course). Can't expect to get more FTs than minutes played very often. Nets have very little to handle him, bigs are pretty weak (and not deep).

Pretty strategic choice of opponent for first minutes of the season.

If you're not playing for a decent chunk of change it's going to suck, everyone will quit 5 weeks in.

H2H or roto? Points or Cats?

If you're in a points league, all you have to do is pay attention all year and you'll make the playoffs, it's astronomically easy.

Ehm... H2H and points I think.

I don't know, I just go with the flow. If people bail so be it. Heck, I might quit if it bores the fuck out of me.

 

[Sparhawk]

well hell...

help Philly...?

help Boston...?

you don't make it easy ...

That was a Hinkie special.
Steve Nash and MCW are forever part of the process....

Really? You approve of racist ass Boston?

Wait until Kyrie misses a shot that counts and he gets death threats and KKK rally's outside of his house.

It was more I approve at the expense of Cleveland.

Kyrie is a different kind of Dude.

The first time he gets called the N word, he will be sobbing in his daddy's arms like he did when Paul George got hurt.

* that was some gruesome shit *

 

[Wamu]

Silly Kyrie.

Fuck this sucks. He was looking good in preseason. Improved his shot

I'm assuming you're talking about McGruder. Damn shame.

All injuries suck, but if I had to choose a top rotation Heat player to lose if necessary, it would prob be him.

More minutes for J Rich.

According to Real Gm, the Lakers signed Travis Wear who played for the Lakers in the Summer league. I wonder if they are going to put him in the G league or keep him.

Oh my GAWD!

I cannot WAIT to see the Dubs vs. Red Rox in game 1.

Fricking Draymond...lol

But, he ain't lying.

Then he pauses, scoffing at Morey’s comments. “What the fuck are you talking about?” he says to me. “They are really trying to rethink their whole strategy”—here he bumps a table repeatedly with his hand for emphasis, getting excited—“because teams know they don’t have a fucking clue.”

On a roll now, he remembers the Warriors’ lone playoff loss, in Game 4 of the Finals, when the Cavs sank twenty-four three-pointers, an NBA Finals record. “That’d never been done!” Green exclaims. “They don’t come out and hit twenty-four threes and they’re swept. And that’s the second best team in the world. It’s pretty fucking sick to see how everybody is just in a fucking panic about what to do. You sit back and think, like, these motherfuckers, they know. That’s the fun part about it: They know they don’t stand a chance.

Dubs vs. Red Sox?

 

[Black Adam]

gotta love the guy...

but hey, saving grace is anybody whippin' LeClown is doing the Lord's work...

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Baby Doc getting hurt is probably the thing that will force Daddy Doc to start Milos.

Good luck putting him back on the bench.

Clippers are going nowhere.

So, might as well be uber entertaining.

 

[tlance]

The Warriors reportedly think Russell Westbrook plays a style that's easy to guard

I do too.

It is why his efficiency is low despite his obvious greatness.

 

[tlance]

Not yet.
Please remain focused on winning enough games so BOS doesn’t get your lottery pick and we do...

Or even better...

Losing enough games that it hits number 1 and you get it anyway.

When you really think about it, you should want LeBron in LA more than anybody.

Because, whenever the Lakers win, you will be mostly happy. And whenever they lose, you will have somebody to blame it on.

It isn't always a bad thing as a fan to have 1 player on your team that you hate. It is a lot harder to get mad at guys you actually like.

Well, in an effort to preserve our friendly relationship, I didn't want to be greedy....
