2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

Anyone else think Wiggins is gonna get shopped this Summer?

If he does, what is he worth?

Dude ooozes talent and athleticism.

But, he is so lackadaisical.

So lazy on defense.

Ben Simmons' stat line:

27 PTs, 12-17 FGs, 3-5 FTs, 15 RBs, 13 ASTs, 4 STLs, 3 TOs, 1 BLK.

Saw an interesting tidbit, this is the first game in LeBron's career where both he and an opponent got triple doubles.

So lazy on defense.

work ethic supposedly ain't the greatest either...

sounds like a dude that wants to get by just coasting...

I was streaming a Spanish broadcast of the Philly-Cleveland game, and these Spaniards (I speak Spanish), were on Marco Belinelli's sack like he was Jordan. It was hilarious.

Now, I like Marco, he is nice, but he was not the star player in this game, and they just kept talking about him the whole time and not Lebron or Ben Simmons. It was, dare I say, kind of racist...

I love that commercial

That's very interesting but I'd question that.

He's played against triple double machines like RW. I just don't have the inclination to look up every game they played vs each other.

This game made it abundantly clear that the Sixers have no chance of beating the Cavs without Embiid in the playoffs.

Did you ever think that they did?

He's no star but he did chip in with 23 points off the bench and as unbiased as they are SUPPOSED TO BE.....they are going to focus on their player so that people in the homeland will tune in.

Well, you could do that, but ESPN already did and that's what they found. And how many times has LeBron even played against RW? A dozen? No more than 20 for sure. Not a big sample size for BOTH of them to have trip dubs.

Washington Shit the bed too against Atlanta.

Morris got ejected and Wall sat out.

Nothing written in stone from 3 to 8.

I think after last night, Washington may want the 8. They have always owned Toronto.

 

[Mecca]

He's more Magic than Lebron, but he is his own beast. I think he can average a triple double, I really do.

His current average this year is 15.8 pts, 8.1 assists and 8.1 rebounds.

No, he's more LeBron than Magic.

Magic never had the athleticism that these two have.

And, although he wasn't a prolific 3 pt shooter, Magic was not terrified to take one.

Plus, he was a career 85% free throw shooter.

So, slow your roll.

I think in a few years, we won't be comparing Ben to anyone.

He could be the Gold Standard to which every other player is compared.

If he keeps working.....

Simmons is going to be top 5 when all is said and done.

Philly fans going crazy right now.

Indy are unofficially locked in as the 5 seed.

 

[flyerhawk]

Did you ever think that they did?

Of course not. As I said, my point was more about the Sixer defense was shredded by Lebron in the paint.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

There are 3 female refs I believe.

Could be, but the one who was doing Cavs game seems to always be involved in controversy.

 

[DJ]

I don't get the game. Yeah for me?

 

[tlance]

You know what is way worse than player's only?

Fans only. Good god this is bad.

When they said fans only, I didn't know this is what they meant lol.

How about we go back to the traditional broadcast set up with 1 play by play commentator and 1 or 2 color commentators.

 

[bksballer89]

I think Philly gives the Cavs more of a challenge than Toronto in the playoffs.
