2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

The funny thing is they had a 19 pt lead at one point against Houston.

Houston tied the game with 2 minutes left lol

So they still melted down a bit. Just not enough to cost them the game.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

yeah, bottom line for me is i actually WANT to see the Raps,or anyone else for that matter, dump a huge, smelly one on LeClown and the Cavs...

but still gotta be real wit' it...

Oh for sure, I'm a fan. I want them to be successful. I'd go nuts if they did.

But I also have an IQ over 60. I think. I took an internet test once that said I did at least.

Red Herring defense.

Dude is dipping into the classics.

Pretty entertaining that's for sure. lol

right on point about that D...

great that they can score. doesn't mean jack if they're giving up as many as they're getting...

So, we all gonna just pretend the Raptors didn't just hang a 80 pt 1st half ass whoopin on the Cavs?

I know it's just the regular Season.

But, Bruh...

And it's also typical of this board that not one fan posted when the Raptors score 79 in the first half not one person posted a thing but when they lose the game everybody comes out of the woodwork saying they have no shot against Cleveland.

You just proved to me that you're not a basketball fan

Guzzle homey....

Don't sip slow.

Unlike vs. OKC and Cleveland, they nutted the fuck up and got it done in the final 2 minutes. It was awesome to watch.

But, you know, it was the Rockets' third game in four nights and they were all on the road and a lot of travel and Harden's beard was a little more itchy than normal and someone put green olives on D'Antoni's pizza when he asked for black olives so...

I personally love the Raptors right now.

I bet the Cavs game -2 and thought my money was long gone by halftime. Thanks guys!

 

[Heatles84]

What does that have to do with them melting down against the Cavs?

If they can't figure out how to beat the Cavs in the playoffs, they won't have to worry about the Rockets.

Yep. Doesn't mean much if you match up well against the Rockets or Dubs for a potential Finals series. Considering that Cleveland shares the same conference as you (the Raptors), and you won't get a chance to face any of the aforementioned teams.

We aren’t Raptors fans and don’t follow every game they play. Most of us are probably just reacting to the outcome of the game. I know I didn’t watch the game. Can’t speak for anyone else.

At this point, we are just playing whack-a-mole because he's so dug in.

I don't even really care...lol

I won't even lie, I have $100 on the Cavs at +1200 to win the title.

When the fuck else are you going to see Lebron at +1200 to win the title?

 

[tducey]

Yeah, never count out the Cavs. As they proved vs. Toronto last night, they're still a good team.

 

[tlance]

And if they lose in 2 weeks...

I don't care about 2 weeks from now. There is a good chance the Raptors will rest players for that one. At least they should. There is absolutely nothing for them to gain and a lot more to lose.

It will be their May matchup that I am looking forward to. Could be another second round date.

Hate to tell you, but that is dead money bro. You just lost $100.

 

[flyerhawk]

Pretty good odds though. The Warriors are really banged up and while the Rockets look really good, as I think Trojanfan mentioned, they are comprised of the unholy trinity of playoff chokers, Paul, Harden, Dantoni.

I would hope they do. Losing that game will be devastating

Meh. I stole it from a church collection plate.

Depends.

Good odds in terms of what LeBron's odds normally are. In terms of their actual likelihood to win a title? They are less than 5% IMO. I don't think the odds are all that good.

Lmfao @ Holy Trinity.

You need to come here more often.

We don't care about your politics, homerism nor view of the world.

Sarcasm and snark are greatly appreciated...lol
