2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

I could see Olynk or Johnson eventually being moved. If I was the coach though, I would just Olynyk as the backup PF and Bam as the backup C but I know Spo won't do that.

Olynk would be easier to move though due to his age. He's only 26. JJ is turning 31 in a few months @CitySushi

He's a good backup.

He kind of reminds me of Steve Blake. Not really flashy, can be serviceable as a backup though. He'll have to prove his 3 point shot is legit though.

Yeah, I don't mean to act like he's a budding star. He's a good backup though and I think could eventually fill the role of a Shaun Livingston for the 76ers (but maybe as a bigger 3-point threat?). Maybe it's stupid to get excited over him when they've got so much talent with superstar potential but developing role players matters so much in the NBA.

Has anyone heard of McConnell? Come on now! Of course nobody has heard of him, he plays in Philly.

Oh shit the fake news has made it's way to the NBA threads. This could get dangerous.

Report: The Sixers turned down TJ McConnell trade with Cleveland Cavaliers

Well the 76ers have certainly had a winning process in place for several years now so I understand why they wouldn't want to mess up the team chemistry.

Cavs better watch out. 76ers are gunning for the top spot in the East. They've been saving up wins the past decade and they're about to cash in.

Well hopefully the Celtics get the top spot in the EC again. Fuck the Cavs.

I think the Cav's slow start could be a sign of things to come. Losses to the Knicks and the Nets could really derail them. Cavs still make the playoffs but I don't know if we can call them favorites in the East anymore.

 

[gordontrue]

Of the last 25 losses for the Cavs.... they had all 5 starters available for just 4 of those games.

No one talks about it, but Love, JR, & TT all missed stretches of games with injury during the 2nd half of last season. This season its IT and Rose.

I didn't take it like that.

The Kid turned himself into a legitimate NBA player.

You should be high on him.

I love guys like him, Jonathon Simmons, Anthony Mason, Whiteside that worked their asses off and earned their spots in the league.

Shawn is a interesting comp.

I see him more as a Cleveland version of Delly, minus the rugby tactics.

I admit to not seeing him play a ton.

So, I could be off.....

Would agree if they didn't do it every year.

As much as it annoys me to say, Wiggy was correct about them flipping a switch, when it comes to Eastern Conference competition * Playoffs*.

So, They literally don't give a shit about playoff seeding.

Problem is, at their best, I think there are 3 or 4 Western teams that can beat them in the Finals.

* Warriors, Rockets, Spurs, Thunder *

They gonna vote D Wade off the Island....lol

I'm starting to question if the Kings could go on an 80 game losing streak to end the season.

Fox is in beast mode tonight.

Just trade Hill when he's eligible and give that Dude the keys.

The STUPOR Bowl in Brooklyn was actually a hell of a game.

D'Lo and Booker put on a show.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Thunder are destroying the Bucks.....glad I took the Thunder -1.5 and the under 213.

Melo put Greek Freak in the spin cycle and left his ass in the dust.

Freak still blocked his shot with those pterodactyl arms.

Goodness.

* might have been goaltending *

 

[DJ Fieri]

Russell is really developing in Brooklyn......good trade for both teams.

 

[trojanfan12]

Does anyone outside of Philadelphia notice T.J. McConnell?

TJ McConnell? I think you mean TJ Hooker, don't you?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Wtf?

Kid needs to put on about 90 lbs.

But, he can score.

Who do they think they can get at vet minimum that would be better?

Clippers and Doc are shit at player development.

They just throw guys in the dumpster to add cooked vet after cooked vet.

1.5 mil...good grief.
