2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[trojanfan12]

Heat back to being extremely short handed. Back to missing 3 of their top 8 players for multiple games.

Lakers should win by 20+ tomorrow

We'll see. Lakers won't have Ingram, Hart or Kuzma.

What happened to Kuzma?

 

[trojanfan12]

Dwyane Wade has most certainly passed Kobe on the greatest SG of all time list, think this needs to be talked about more often.

 

[trojanfan12]

What happened to Kuzma?

Sprained ankle. He was out Wednesday and according to the paper, he's out tonight too.

Uh, you've fudged it a bit there except for assists and fg%.

D-Wade has averaged 34.7 minutes per game, not points per game. His ppg is 22.6.

He has averaged 4.8 rebounds per game not 7.8.

He has averaged 5.5 assists per game, not 3.8.

He shot 48.3% on fg's and 28.8% on 3's.

He shot 76.7% on free throws.

Kobe:

25 ppg
5.2 rpg
4.8 apg
44.7% fpg
32.9% on 3's.
83% on free throws

Kobe has him on points per game, rebounds, 3 point percentage, free throws and rings.

D-Wade has assists and overall fg%.

Overall, very, very close, but Kobe has the edge.

I believe those were Wade final numbers vs Dallas in 06

LeBron: Not playing with Love 'challenging'

Unless I'm reading this wrong, the Warriors are only favored by 1 point when the SacKings T-82 tank rolls into Oakland tonight. Draymond and David West are supposedly available again too. Seems like easy money @DJ. Thoughts @Bolts ?

I saw yesterday that KD got added to the injury report and was gonna be questionable tonight, which could mean him, Steph, and Klay are all out. Beating the Warriors twice on the road in one season sounds nice(even though Steph and possibly KD missed both games) but the tank is more important at this point. It wouldn't be as bad of a win as the ones against Orlando and New Jersey were, but wouldn't mean a lot towards showing how good they can be when their opponent was down multiple all stars.

It's the question that's the mystery....

 

[LAD]

10 wins in a row
8 straight road wins
21 straight games scoring 100

Yea, Raptors looking good right now...let's hope they can carry this momentum over into the post season

It's funny, when I saw that injury report this am I thought of you tracking the tanking progress. LOL

If KD doesn't play tonight it will basically be GS's second & third units out there the entire game. Gonna be hard to lose this one if you're the Kings.

And it led you back here??

To add to this - the more Wade continues to play the more his stats are going to decline IMO. He is no longer playing with young legs that can carry the load & make the game easy for him.

I agree. That is a lot of youth. But that's also a lot of valuable assets. They're in a position similar to what the Celtics had/have. Lots of picks and young guys.

Imo, the Kings should look at who, if anyone, they have that are not going to be available for trade and start looking at possible trade partners.

I agree that just making trades to become an 8th seed would be a bad idea. Either try to trade players and picks for a star who, as you say, is young and has at least 2 years left on his deal, or keep working with the young guys and hope they can develop into a contender ala OKC and the Warriors.

Boston was in a more favorable spot because they had fleeced the Nets while the Kings got fleeced by Philly which cost them their 2019 pick, but they still do have a lot of young assets available. The only 3 guys I think shouldn't be traded are the ones I mentioned before, Fox/Bogdan/Giles. Skal could be added to that group but if the deal is right I wouldn't mind trading him. As far as the 2018 lottery pick is concerned, I'd say the Kings should keep it unless they boost into the top 3 then maybe try and move back a few spots while getting a future lottery pick like the Celtics did last year. Having to trust Vlade to make smart draft picks and trades to keep this team moving in the right direction is not great, but I have to hope he's learned from past mistakes.

Firmly cemented as the 3rd best imo, but Kobe was better.

Think the undeniable thing that sets them apart was that Kobe was a 9x All Defense 1st Team. He was a great defender in his prime.

I hate Kobe too, so it says alot for me to admit this. LOL.
