2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Honestly I would hope that Mitchell would say the exact same thing.

I much prefer players being honest than giving quarterback speak. It's actually one of the reasons why I like the NBA. Players are much more upfront with their opinions in the NBA.

....and why the individual players are so popular.

Right or wrong, guys like Klay Thompson and Kawhi would have tons more endorsements if they weren't so monosyllabic all the time.

Charisma sells.

Read a very speculative article that said the Mavs were going to try to sign Cousins and Randle.

I don't think they have enough money unless Matthews opts opt.

Wow.....that's an interesting combo.

Not sure how they'd work together.

Is Livingston hurt or just completely out of the rotation? @CitySushi @msgkings322

Think they're just managing his minutes right now. Don't think there's any issue with his health, but Cook has been playing amazing. Kerr generally likes to keep guys in their preferred spots when injuries strike. Like if Durant wasn't able to play, he'd rather start McCaw than Iguodala, to keep Iguodala in his role.

What really will be interesting is to see what happens to Cook once Curry is healthy. Cook has been invaluable as of late. I could see a scenario where he gets significant run in the playoffs as a secondary scorer off the bench to play along side Livingston.

No question about it. Embiid is on the cusp of superstardom because he is a great player but also because he is such a big personality. His Twitter and Instagram feeds are legendary.

Oh, I absolutely love that guy.

Talks a gang if shit and backs it up.

He's so much fun on and off the court.

Same site said, if Ayton, Doncic, Bagley were off the board when the Mavs pick, they were gonna trade their top 5 pick for the Clippers 12 and 13 or the Suns 14 and 15.

So, the salt is really grainy.

Yes, I think Cook is very much needed with that 2nd unit. Also, props on calling Omri getting waived.

@Win TWINS!!! , @mr.hockey4242 ....

If the Wolves don't make the playoffs, is Thibbs on the hot seat?

Absolutely! I'd say he's on the hot seat, regardless.... rightfully so!

 

[tducey]

Thibs is gone IMO if the Wolves miss the playoffs. That roster's to good to be 8th in the West at this point of the year.

Based off what I gather around here people are really fed up with Thibs.

The issue is, he’s also the best bet to keeping Jimmy.

True, but is Jimmy replaceable?

Is Thibs replaceable? I mean.... who else is/would be available for HC duties? (Who was available when they hired him?)



I still am curious to see how Rubio could've played with this team, instead of Teague......

Hey TWINS!!!

Hey, girl! Look at your little cutie... eyes almost to the countertops! Gonna be trouble soon enough! Or, already?

Yes, she's definitely ALREADY trouble! Just a tad bossy too, which she gets from her dad She's only 3.

Uhhh probably not. Considering this scenario basically says the only reason we got a player of his caliber was thanks to said coach lol.

Rubio>Teague.

Teague couldn’t guard me. I suck.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

LMFAO.....

He's taller than almost everyone on the Team.

How desperate must these poor kids be?
