2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

Wow...
Lebron has led his team in assists every single year of his career.
....and he's 6'8.

and he could end up the leading scorer in the history of the NBA.

Lebron had a great passing game tonight. Is there anyone in NBA right now who is even close to him in passing ?

I know Westbrook averages more assists / game ... and Harden is terrific. But neither can consistent throw great passes like Lebron.

Why you gotta show him doing that shit to the Lakers?

Because fuck the Lakers

If the Wolves lose and miss the playoffs they'll still hold the longest playoff drought in the NBA instead of the Kings. That's an honor the Kings deserve damn it, don't let me down Butler and KAT.

That is Minnesota’s title of futility. You can’t have it!!

Oh yeah? Well:

 

[thunderc]

A star?

You spelled good player wrong.

You obviously haven’t seen him much.

Clippers get crushed.

But, at least these guys don't stop trying to fight back.

Wow, Minny-Denver to get in the playoffs.

If the Sixers win tonight, Milwaukee beating Philly tomorrow would lock up the 6th seed and potentially put the Cavs third and that's who Milwaukee would face. If you're the Bucks, do you want CLE or PHI as your first round matchup? Just wondering if they might rest players tomorrow night.

If the Bucks lose tomorrow night they could drop down to the 8th seed.

So the real question is, would you rather face the Sixers, Cavs, or Raptors?

If they win they would likely face the Cavs. I can't imagine they want that.

If they lose and one of the Wizards/Heat loses, they face the Celtics.

If they lose and both the Wizard/Heat win, they face the Raptors.

If they lose and both the Wizard/Heat lose, they face the Sixers.

I would imagine that of the 3 the LAST team they want to face is the Cavs. While they would prefer to play the Celtics there is no way for them to guarantee that without help from another team.

Denver has gone a heck of a job since that 7 game roadtrip. To go on a 6 game win streak vs teams like OKC, POR, MIL, IND, & Minnesota is impressive.

Their winning streak came against all winning teams

It's official @Bolts.

Mikal is in like we knew he would be.

I already love this kids attitude.

He wants to be the next George or Kawhi, a great 2 way player.

Wow...his Mom works for the 76ers?

Hmmmmmmm, isn't that Lakers pick in his range?

I would love to know how often two teams have played each other on the last game of the season to decide who gets into the playoffs.

It can't happen too frequently.

Yeah I don't remember it ever happening. I'm sure teams played before to decide seeding but to have a 1 game playoffs like this? Yeah don't remember this happening

Who said the nba regular season was no fun?

 

[The Oldtimer]

Well, if it makes you feel any better, we have nothing to show for being the beneficiary.

Yup!!! Just look up at the rafters in the Staples Center.

It's one thing for the Clippers not to have a banner hanging in the Staples Center, yet. It gets even worse once you learn Taylor Swift beat them to it. Ouch!!!!

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Anybody think Gilgeous-Alexander could be a less athletic Dejounte Murray?

Mocks are starting to suggest Sexton could go to the Bulls.

I guess they aren't sold on Dunn?

So, if we take Shai, I hope he doesn't go the way of Carter-Williams.

But, I would be cool if he projects as a Dejounte or even Caris Levert.

Those guys still have a ways to go.

But, you can see they can be much better down the line.

Sorry can't talk, I have someplace I need to be.
