2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

Miami 3 pt shooters picked an amazing time of the year to stop hitting their 3's.

Under 10 made 3's in 6 of their last 7 games....and unless they get hot, that will be 7 of their last 8 games

Welp Cavs Pacers it is.

At this point, Hoping Miami and Washingon both lose cause I think TOR-WAS, BOS-MIA, and PHI-MIL is the best scenario in terms of entertaining series.

 

[bksballer89]

Heat can't even try and lose because the Orlando/Washington game is so close.

Losing this doesn't give them Boston for sure.

Off topic, but if memory serves you are a Browns fan.

Aren't you a Browns fan too @Wamu?

Question: I'm starting to hear that the Browns are liking Josh Allen because he's big and can throw the ball a country mile. Some are saying they may take him over Sam Darnold.

What do you guys think? Smokescreen? Real interest in Allen? Who do you think they should take? Allen, Darnold or go in a different direction and take someone like Saquan Barkley?

I usually like to bag on Cleveland sports. But the Browns need to start becoming at least respectable.

In no way am I touching Josh Rosen; that's a given. Kid's frail and those types don't do good in cold-weather towns, which last I checked Cleveland classifies as much.

I'm absolutely not touching Josh Allen. I've never been too caught up with QBs with strong arms. At the high school level, you always go for a QB that displays accuracy; you can work on arm strength and fundamentals later. You can't teach accuracy along with QB intelligence (ignore camps and focus on game film, does the QB panic?). Josh Allen has the biggest arm. He reminds me of the Hurricanes QB - Rosier. Big arm and similar type of build (Rosier's shorter), but zero accuracy and is overly non-consistent.

I think the Browns get Darnold and Barkley. They do that, they'll be fine and on a good road to being relevant.

Thoughts @Wamu and @WiggyRuss ?

POP resting his players often during the season really paid off.
I hope he really enjoyed throwing away 2 or 3 games like that.

I noticed he stopped fucking doing it once the season went sideways.
2 games was the diffrence between a 3 seed and an 8 seed.

It pisses me off for years, and I am glad it might finally bite him in the ass.
Resting players in March/April might be one thing, but resting players before the allstar break is often silly.

Cleveland wants to improve that Brooklyn pick.

 

[bksballer89]

Huge run by Denver to tie it.

99-99 with 2:51 left

If the Wolves win, Spurs will be 7.

Toronto too worried about going for 60 wins so much that they just got VanVleet hurt.

LMFAO dumb fucks

how bad?

 

[bksballer89]

how bad?

Hopefully he's out for the season. Dumb fucks chasing 60 wins only to have Cleveland wipe the floor with them in 5 games in early May.

Hate stupid teams

 

[bksballer89]

Westbrook had 19 assist and 20 rebounds.

Wish he got that 20/20 night . Don't think I saw that before. Would have been cool

You know full well they'll be hanging onto winning 60 games for years.

I think Whiteside did it a couple of years ago. Hadn't seen it from a guard though.

 

[bksballer89]

HIGH DRAMA!!!
