2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

You're correct. But at this point it's nitpicking. In year's past, there have been team's in the East that made it in with a below .500 record. This year, every team will have a winning record. This year, the playoff format works just fine.

The Clippers could finish tied with the Heat or Wiz.

Both those teams are better, will be more competitive, and I would enjoy seeing them more than my Team getting slaughtered in 4.

This year, it definitely works.

Yeah previously it was really bad. I'll never forget that in D-Wade's rookie season, the Heat had HCA in round 1 with a record of 41-41

I did best as always.....No need to pull up old threads to confirm this

Pretty sure the only prediction I made was the Lakers would suck. So I was 1 for 1!!!

I don't know what a spackin is but I guess when you lose by 40, we use that term.

Predictions for 2017-2018 NBA Season

I think the search for the Knicks next head coach will start after tonight’s game

Yeah Warriors got an ass whooping. Haven't seen a beating like that since John Starks was our starting 2 guard.

Hopefully that search started internally a while ago. I think some prime candidates for the Knicks should be Mark Jackson and David Blatt. Blatt has that international credibility and could do some serious things with a guy like Porzingas.

Mark Jackson though, would be my pick. He could change the culture there. He may not take you over the hump, but you guys are basically needing a full rebuild anyways after that Noah contract. Two things Jackson did extremely well within the Warriors was 1) Hold the team accountable and change the culture and 2) Let the stars turn into stars. He unleashed Curry and Klay. He could do the same with KP.

But I’m sure they will do just fine come playoff time and cruise to the finals

Marriage and Monogamy aren't for everyone. If you're a super rich, young, famous athlete, why would you try to box yourself in if that lifestyle isn't for you? Sometimes you just gotta be real with yourself. If you want to just continue to smash IG models, do you.

Oh, I have nothing against doing it. If I were in their situation, I'd probably be the biggest whore - at least that's how I was for a good chunk of my Marine Corp days. But don't try to wife up these girls, have babies with them, while smashing on the side. That's why the smart athlete's stay single during their playing days.

Anybody else hear of Durant opting out at the end of the year and will test free agency this summer

He's gonna opt out cause he took a HUGE discount last year on his 2-year and this year there's no real incentive on his part or the Warriors part for him to take that big of a discount (except luxury tax for the Warriors).

So of course he's gonna opt out. I'd be shocked if he's not back with the dubs though. Only question is whether he'll do a 2-year to setup a super-max next year with the jump in the cap or whether he'll take a long-term deal now.

In all seriousness @bksballer89 KD does indeed have to step up or he will have a well deserved black mark on his playoff resume. He needs to play like he did in last year's Finals, that's why he's here, to be the co-superstar that can get past a first round playoff series with him as leader. He needs to average like 30/8/6 and play great D. Because he's capable of it, so he has to step up.

I think he knows the expectation and will deliver.
