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

[kdslittlebro]

I feel like everyone should get mad at Andrew Bogut for deciding to sign with a team that beat him when he was up 3-1 on them.

Definitely not a HOFer now

Washington, who must waive a player for arrival of Brandon Jennings, still hasn't decided who that player will be, league sources tell ESPN.

Can you safely read btw lines on that news on Burke? Probably. Absence confirmed by team official #WizRaptors

Maybe he's pulling the long con.

Sabotage from the inside.

No player whose team was 4th seed or below has ever won MVP since the media started voting for the award, starting with the 1980-81 season. In fact, the last time a 3rd seed team player won it was all the way back in 1987-88 (Michael Jordan). Maybe they would give it to Westbrook IF he climbs up to 4th seed, but anything below I don't think he has a shot.

That's not how the award works. A player who can make a 20 win team into a 50 win team still has less chance of winning the MVP than a player who can make a 50 win team into a 60 win team, even though the first might make a 30 win difference and the second only a 10 win difference.

I wonder if Burke and his dad will blame the Wizards org like they did they Jazz org for holding him back.

 

[wavycrocket]

I'd rather have Trey Burke than Brandon Jennings

 

[Proposition Joe]

That's not even justifying it .

Potentially picking up your 4th foul.....a few seconds away from halftime is dumb.

Y'all ***** never seen dudes switch cuz of foul trouble?

You better than this man

If lebron did that this thread would be lit

 

[Proposition Joe]

It sucks durant is injured but

#spursnation

 

[tyevvyotcu]

man all the wizards fans say burke is super trash
and if that satoransky dude is playing over him, he has to be trash. cause that dude is poo

 

[addict4sneakers]

Lebron doesn't even match up with prime time players doe

I'd rather have Trey Burke than Brandon Jennings

No u wouldn't.

Can I hop on the spurs wagon now? #spursnation

 

[tyevvyotcu]

kawhi is the only superstar that guards the opposing team's best player lol

Bulls were tied for the 7th best overall record in the league that season, but got 50 wins. The seeding won't hold as much weight this season if all the 4-7 teams have 50 wins. I don't think there's any conceivable way Russ finishes outside the top 2 and if the win total between OKC & HOU

 

[wavycrocket]

If lebron did that this thread would be lit

And it would equally be as dumb .

We criticizing players for switching off a player clearly attacking when they have 3 fouls in the 2nd quarter?

No you don't. Have you seen Burke play this year? The fact that Jennings is seen as a MAJOR upgrade should be enough for you to know.

 

[Proposition Joe]

No u wouldn't.

If you didn't feel the pain and agony when Derek fisher hit that shot then you can't jump on


All these years later and it Still hurts

[ill steelo]

completely forgot trey went top 10.

now he's a fringe guy.

McCollum went right after him

I woulda drafted CJ just off that Duke game tbh

As a Lakers fan I celebrated that shot... feels good even today. But I need the West to win it all this year so if kd not healthy by then I gotta rep the klaw

 

[leavemeglazzies]

kawhi is the only superstar that guards the opposing team's best player lol

Kawhi's defense has gone way south this season though. Compared to his last two seasons, at least:

2014-15 defensive rating: 96

2015-16 defensive rating: 96

2016-17 defensive rating: 102

2014-15 defensive box plus/minus: 3.5

2015-16 defensive box plus/minus: 2.8

2016-17 defensive box plus/minus: 1.2

Obviously, this is because he focuses on offense way more. His current season is a testament at how amazing players like Jordan and Olajuwon were back in the day for truly dominating on both ends of the floor.

Harden
Russ
Kawhi
KD
Bron
IT2
Wall

Steph was probably 8th entering today

Fell from "best player in the league" to not mentioned in the MVP race.

I watch every Wizards game .

Burke isn't good....but that should tell you how low I am on Brandon Jennings now

 

[carver]

Trey for Gorgui and Bazz

 

[tyevvyotcu]

completely forgot trey went top 10.

now he's a fringe guy.

McCollum went right after him

I woulda drafted CJ just off that Duke game tbh

we traded trey for shabazz and gorgui
