2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

That's because the East is so wide open this year. Just about any combination could yield an upset.

But the fact is. The Wolves with Jimmy were a better basketball team in both the standings and head to head games.

They played 2 games H2H with Jimmy....both games were in Minnesota.

Good for Minnesota for showing they can win at home.

Very nice selective reading.

Go back and try again

Wolves also thrashed the Pelicans and Thunder

Like I said. It’s a jimmy thing. Clearly a better basketball team then all these teams when Jimmy plays.

Rockets and Warriors.....not so much

 

[bksballer89]

And FTR, they were extremely close in the standings when Jimmy went down. Considering the fact that Portland went over a month without losing which was starting just as Butler got hurt, something tells me Portland would still be in front of Minny even with Butler healthy

 

[Wamu]

Butler has been out since December?

There’s also a reason why teams do worse without their best player




In every sport

Next time take a minute & look some stuff up. To say Butler's been out since December's 100% inaccurate. In December he played in 15 games. In Jan. he played in 17 games. In Feb. though he only played in 8. His last game was on 2/23.

No fucking shit Sherlock

That was my exact point lmao

They only "thrashed" OKC once. The other 2 wins were by a total of 5 points.

As for New Orleans, I agree.

Ok.

Should they play 1st round this will be proven again.

First of all, the Wolves are supposed to be better than the Blazers. They have 2 all star caliber players and quite a few quality role players. You act like they are a one man band. They aren't. The lot are a fringe playoff team without Butler.

The reason the Blazers have a better record today is because Dame has taken his game to another level. The Blazers are a 25 win team without Lillard.

This wolves team without Jimmy is horrendous.

It’s KAT and a bunch of garbage. Including Wiggins

Memphis is 2-0 versus Minnesota this year. Which obviously means Grizzles > Twolves. Yep.

Sounds like well on our way to a series win over the Thunder with Jimmy!!!

This has been stated by me.

LMAO

Maybe who knows. I wouldn't put much stock into that season series though. 3 of the 4 games were played by December 1st. But with what I've seen from OKC this year, wouldn't shock me if Minny did beat them with Butler

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Only a scale of 1 to 10 how much does it bother you that nobody agrees w/ you right now?

Considering you’ve repeatedly actually indirectly agreed with me

I find it harilous.

Seriously, you literally defended my point with your response lmao

 

[Wamu]

No fucking shit Sherlock

That was my exact point lmao

Okay so what you're saying is Memphis is better than Minnesota this year but the Twovles are better than the Blazers? Is that right? It might be the weed but I'm starting to lose track of what the hell's going on right now.

Also willing to bet anyone on Blazers losing first round to either team.

Blazers probably lose first round regardless. But I can’t put my money on a team like the Pelicans.

Too bad you quoted me before I deleted that comment. Didn't mean to say that.

 

[msgkings322]

We don’t lose to Portland with Jimmy.

It’s a factual statement

Facts break @tlance tho

Look up the definition of fact, and then the definition of prediction, then get back to us after you finish ice fishing.

I got the Twolves in the Finals against the Pacers. How does that sound?
