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

Thunder should cut Mcgary and sign hunter he's worth a flier

 

[mgrand15]

I think there's an assumption that since the Warriors were the best offensive team in the league last year- that they possibly can't improve THAT much. What are the limits of an offense? This team is gonna be a good test for that. They should be getting a ton of open 3s from ELITE shooters and easy layups from great finishers. With KD carrying the 2nd unit, they should be a lot better when the big guns are on the bench.

KD brings rim protection and rebounding to the small lineup too. SMH.

The Rockets will be testing the limits themselves:

@tomhaberstroh The Rockets averaged an insane 118.6 points per game in the preseason. No team has been higher than 113 since tracking began in 2010-11.

Offense >>> defense

Ahhh those were the days..

 

Good for him. Anyone who delved into the full details instead of making snapshot judgments could see this for what it was.

**** these ho's. Take that L mama.

 

 

The NBA Season Thread's 1st Contest
- I plan on running contests and raffles throughout this NBA season for our "beloved" members in the thread. I'm open to suggestions throughout the season, and there will be random raffles each month.
- First up, we're going to do a MS Paint contest. Submit your best/worst efforts on anything NBA related from this past season or upcoming season. Want to draw D'Angelo snitching on teammates? Go for it. Lebron with the chase down block? Yup. Dwight Howard finding new baby mama's in a new city? Sounds good. Whatever you want, post it in the thread and we can all take a vote on which one we like best. Winner and runner-ups will get a prize for their efforts.

I'll take submissions until the end of the week or until they stop coming in.

Let's see what we got.

Edit: Because of work, I know I won't be as active on a daily basis, so this will make up for that

@Big J 33  doesn't wanna let me be great 

 I was the first to submit one 

 

Got too lazy and it's lunch time now 

Also, Freeze should be disqualified for recycling jawns from the old MS Paint thread a few years ago 

 

I think this was all of the submissions, let me know if I missed any and we can vote on them today/tonight.

Offense >>> defense

teams never win chips without a balance. End of the day you gotta be able to get stops.

Lance made the Pelicans roster

Born ready redemption tour coming

 

[pjdabullsfan]

Damn...

Glad she's alright

RJ Hunter got cut.

Do it Bulls

 

[big j 33]

I knew I forgot some, thanks erupt 

 

[bballkid11]

RJ should get picked up I think....

Just did not fit in boston.

 

[antidope]

Jae Duece and Erupt. Crazy that they're both so good at this. I need a sibling rivalry to start over this contest.

Ainge told James Young, "This is probably the first time you've earned something in your life."

what does that mean?

and what did he earn?

 

[bballkid11]

what does that mean?

and what did he earn?

That roster spot. It was between him and Hunter final 2 for 1 spot.

James been lazy since I knew him man. Just was always better than everyone in high school and 1 year at KY was not really enough for him.

Still young though. A lot of raw skill.

 

[pmatic]

I read awhile back Young was happy "he made it" and hasn't worked hard since entering the league.

 

[awwsome]

No way I would've given Young the spot over Hunter but I've also always hated his game.

That dunk he had in the National Championship game will be the highlight of his career.


Still, Ainge seems like a douchebag.

From all accounts I know connected to him.

That is about right.

 

[bballkid11]

Anyone see their team a good fit for Hunter?

I like his game in the right system.

Boston was a log jam and not his style.

I've wanted him on the Sixers badly. He would be perfect to space the floor for Simmons, Embiid and Okafor/Noel

Kawhi Leonard MVP campaign starts tomorrow at 10:30 PM EST.

Wanted the Lakers to draft him, could use him now since they cut Anthony Brown in favor of keeping Metta and Thomas Robinson :x

Hunter could start in Milwaukee on Wednesday. Stand in the corner and shoot
