2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Bolts]

Suns in control against the Rockets on the road for most of the game and still tanked away the win, I'm shocked!

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Thunder are 0-2 since Carmelo guaranteed they would make the playoffs.

The West seeds 3-10 are far too fluid to make guarantees.

Just keep your head down, mouth shut, and fingers crossed......and hope you get a lucky bounce.

With all the injuries, anyone could in theory make a run at the conference finals or the lottery equally.

@Mecca are you watching Uconn/ND WBB final 4?

 

[bksballer89]

ND did everything in their power to choke that game away lol. Just happy they pulled it out

I know most of y'all shit on women's basketball. But, what a fucking shot!!!!

They need to check Ogunbowale's panties.

Because she has HUGE BRASS BALLS.

Fuck Uconn and all their recruits that don't want to compete.

Two years in a row they got snuffed.

 

[bksballer89]

OT in LA

How the hell they won that game, I'll never know. They choked twice and somehow made a game winner after using 20 seconds of clock to run isolation doodoo. They were so laughably bad in those final minutes in both reg and OT that I actually felt embarrassed for them.

In my defense, that was before my marriage and after 2 bottles of Patron Silver and she looked like Roslyn Sanchez.

Ps. She looked like that BEFORE the Patron...lol

Respect, but it's just different for guys. Even if Brad Pitt, Idris Elba, Robert Redford, and Pierce Brosnan (in their primes) took a shot, no straight guy would ever go there.

 

[bksballer89]

Thanks for nothing Lakers lol

 

[bksballer89]

Terrible shot by Kuzma there. Should have done a pump fake or something.

Yeah, I get that.

 

[msgkings322]

Yeah, I get that.

I only listed those guys because my wife likes 'em LOL

Elaine says to George Costanza "you know, just noticing a guy is attractive doesn't make you gay..."

George replies "It doesn't help..."

True, but college baseball facilities are nicer than most minor league teams facilities, but the better players coming out of high school tend to choose the minors over college.

Hopefully, if this does become a trend, it will lead to greater interest in the G-league which could lead to better facilities because of more fan attendance and tv exposure.

Personally, I would pay a lot more attention to say, the South Bay Lakers if I knew they had a couple of guys who would have been one and done in college but chose to go to the G-league.

Wouldn't mind seeing the G-league develop into more of a true minor league system for the NBA.

I agree that G League could and should do that.

I think 1 simple rule would make it happen:

If you set foot on college campus you are not draft eligible for 2 years. 1 and dones would select the G league. College basketball could go back to having all legit student athletes and the G league would get some elite talent.

I do like making high school kids spend 1 year in G league to protect NBA teams drafting them, but let them make some $.

I don't think that is fair.

The thing with women's basketball is that the gap between elite players and good players is much wider than it is with the men. Boys on average start younger and play more, so the talent pool is a lot deeper.

You get a few elite recruits together with an HOF coach and world domination is to be expected. Geno is tough on his players and he prepares them not just for the WNBA, but for life.

If my daughter were good enough I would want her to play at UCONN for sure.

They better get it fixed quick or start making vacation plans.

They are done like dinner, I feel so bad for Westbrook. Donovan has to go.
