2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

Agree.

That's why I teach my kids to never post Shit...lol

They can't film video inside my house, nor post pictures without prior approval.

Last thing I need is to smoke some dickhead as he breaks into my house because my idiot kid took a picture of some Shit they might want to steal.

So many kids post on social media the same way they talk to their friends with no adults around. I can't tell you how many times I have had the social media conversation. Still, many don't get it until it gets them in trouble somehow.

The 76ers are showing why tanking hard works, they were horrible 2-3 years ago and have 2 #1 picks plus Embiid because of it. Fooling dumb GM's into making bad trades(Vlade) to gain more assets helps a lot too. Winning 47 games between 2014-2016 and could get 50 2 years after that.

Yeah not good for him at all....Not the best work ethic

Thing is too, I doubt anyone expects him to have a psychotic Kobe type work ethic...but he can't be last one in, first one out.

If I'm a student athlete, I'm deleting all my crazy social media post the moment I send that letter of intent to whatever college I chose

True but they also needed a lot of luck and good scouts. That Embiid pick could have been someone else if they had a stupid scout

Heat really don't want to make the playoffs lol. Struggling at home with the tanking Hawks

yeah, these days there's no such thing as too careful...

screw up in the slightest and the word'll be around the world before breakfast...

 

[msgkings322]

Ready for the cupcake game tonight.

The cupcake has 24 points in the first half so there's that. 7 boards too.

 

[Black Adam]

Toronto closed the gap, but far too little, way too late...

 

[bksballer89]

Tied going to the 4th with the tanking hawks....SAD

they playing flat, or is it the coaching...?

Both.

Atlanta is in a zone and somehow Spoelstra think it is a good idea to have Wade and Winslow at the same time.

Down 9 now. No surprise

When you're picking that high you should be trying to draft guys with multiple all star/superstar potential, he had that potential for sure but there was an injury risk. Luck helps, but when you put out lineups and teams so bad it's almost impossible to win 20 games you're gonna have a good chance to draft someone great. Yeah they missed on Okafor and Fultz has had issues so far, but if you finish with a top 3 pick 4 years straight with 2 #1's in there it's hard to not get at least one franchise player.

 

[bksballer89]

Took Spoelstra 7 minutes to realize Wade can't be on the court when a team is in a zone.

This guy is ridiculously dumb

Used to coach a kid who had a school pull a scholarship offer because they read his social media posts. That was his only D1 offer.

 

[flyerhawk]

Wasn't that the plan in the beginning, to have them on the court together?

Definitely but I think they assumed at least one of them would shoot outside of 15 feet.

Spoelstra finally grew the balls to play Tyler over Wade.
This, on most nights, should be our closing 5.

Yeah but Tyler is hit or miss. I usually trust Wade more in the clutch but when a team is in a zone, it is an easy decision.....Somehow he waited til the 3 minute mark to make that move though

 

[flyerhawk]

Just going to repost this anytime the Raptors lose to the Cavs from now on

That was pretty good. I'll have to follow him, eventhough I hated him as a player.

You don't go to home games as frequently anymore?
