Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[nomnom]

No one knows if the KD injury is serious until the MRI comes back tomorrow

Matt Barnes is insurance for KD with the last roster spot being expendable. And he's a better pickup overall than Calderon.

 

[sohi 23]

Ok but he said Bogut was better than Kanter. Simply not true.

I wanna know what Derrick Williams does better than Roberson. Roberson shoots a better 3%.

And I know Wiliams isn't a better defender than Roberson.

He said Deron Williams was better than Vic. In what planet?
Is Korver even better than Abrines?

Also
Is Pat Bev not a specialist?
Dipo is putting up better stats than Ariza.
Is Anderson not the exact same thing as Kanter ( a scorer who's a liability on defense)?

 

[MVP]

houston is full of specialists too outside of lou and eg
terrible argument

Lou, EG, Ryan, Ariza all have been and still are big time players in this league man that can do multiple things, except Lou he just gets buckets at an elite level.

3 of those guys only 1 side of the ball
ariza is a 3 and d guy . he isn't creating much for himself
anderson is a 6'9 shooting guard

what makes you say gordon plays only one side? he's not an elite defender but he's no slouch either

 

[pums]

Russ has been without his 2nd and 3rd offensive options for 11 (Kanter) and 12 (Dipo) games respectively at times this season. At the very least, Harden has had EG, Anderson, and Ariza for the majority of this season, they've missed a total of 9 games combined (Ariza has played in every game). 

You just gone forget Bev missing the start of the season capela breaking his fibula or something like that again no one was saying Houston had a better supporting cast than OKC.OKC's players aren't that inferior compared to houstons like the way you word it

He was trash defensively on the pelicans he can defend he just doesn't do it consistently tho

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

My only thing is, don't penalize Harden because he supposedly has a "deeper" team. That's all I'm saying

At this point to me, it's really a toss up between Russ, Harden and LBJ within striking distance

He lost the MVP to a team and a player with a deeper team as well

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Looks like Bogut and D. Will will head to Clev with the Warriors signing Barnes. It's not as good as Bogut, but Barnes is a body you can put into the game and guard LeBron in some possessions.

I knew the Warriors should've done something during the trade deadline, but with these recent developments, I have the Cavs as the favorites now. They're covered in every position now and much deeper than GS. My has the tide turned.

neither is oladipo

Thunder UP

 

[tyevvyotcu]

welp kd likely out for the rest of the regular season

 

[a-friend]

Russ is at 31 triple doubles now.

Oscar had 41.

Russ is on pace to get a bit passed that. 

OKC bench outscored Utah 48-33.

Thunder Up 

When was the last time a player on a low seed team won mvp?

OKC has their destiny in their own hands right now.

Cake schedule to finish the year, just beat #4Utah who is #1 in our Division (without Dipo) 

yes without russ okc would be horrible but even with him they aren't that good so that argument isn't a good one in russ' case

What do you think this is 2weeks ago?

We're good man, now.

 

[a-friend]

I'm a huge Greek Freak fan but I cant put him in my top 5 either

Bron/Harden/Russy/Leonard are the top 4. Kd/Curry would be 5 but they cancel each other out.


Presti is a beast man.
They won the Ibaka for Sabonis & Vic trade.
Then he traded Cameron ******* Payne for Taj & Dougie.

Russ
Adams/Kanter (Adams one of the best bigs in the league & a defensive beast / Kanter can score anywhere in the post)
Vic/Roberson (perimeter defenders)
Taj/Grant (defending forwards)
Dougie/Abrines (shooting)

That's 9 deep (10 with Sabonis, who's gunna be a good player). How y'all gunna say Russ has no help. This roster has DEPTH.

It does now.

@WojVerticalNBA Sources: Warriors, Kevin Durant's inner-circle bracing for tough news on KD's knee, awaiting MRI result. Fear is he's out months, not weeks.

 

[xbiker47]

wow at this injury

 

[a-friend]

There is a reason why they play the games.

Godspeed Kevin Durant. Keep your head up man.

 

[antidope]

Sheesh man. They'll be fine without him into May though.

 

[finessesosa]

This is why we play the games. A lot of dudes tried to argue in here

 

[a-friend]

The Barnes pickup was top notch though.

He's about to cook so many meals with them.

The waiver wire man, it's the illest invention ever.

[QU!K]
