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

Kawhi looks MUCH improved off the dribble. 

 

[a-friend]

Man Kawhi is nice.

Dude is the smartest Man on the court at all times, whenever he isn't playing the Cavs.

 

[goldmember]

SA put the clamps on this team :x

Not bad.

 

[D StaXX]

Everybody on the spurs bench stands up right after that dunk... pop goes and sits down.

Ha. Good catch. Didn't even notice that.

said it before and ill say it again. KD talking to the warriors about joining them while he's in a playoff series against them is worse than anything Bron did. I dont really care he left. but when it comes to being a ***** thats 10x worse than anything LeBron did. It's not the same.

Too much truth

Yes he looks comfortable off the P-n-R.

Real talk, those Cavs rings are probably the nicest looking championship rings I've seen, along with the 1992-93 Bulls ones:

That blood red color really pops out. The 2008 Celtics ones were pretty nice as well:

And I love the round form of the Warriors ones that matches the shape of their logo:

Waking up

Just seeing the results

Damn

 

[antidope]

How long before Kerr realizes that he has to keep Durant and Green away from each other on offense?

 

[leavemeglazzies]

One thing that should worry Warriors fans is that the Spurs won in a blowout in spite of Pau Gasol being a complete non-factor. And he's exactly one of the guys along with Aldridge that are supposed to give the Warriors all kinds of matchup problems in the post.

:x @ WHat Simmons did to McGee

 

[pmatic]

It was fun to watch, but I don't expect it to last long.

 

[703 hwy]

Warriors are too soft and something like this could get inside their head. They're not the type to just shake it off and move on to the next game. Dudes gonna be giving each other the silent treatment soon

:x @ WHat Simmons did to McGee

That chase down block he had on Steph >>>

 

[bear claw]

I was wrong about GsW last night

 

[leavemeglazzies]

I remember Simmons beastin during the 2015 Summer League. I think he was the Summer League MVP. Everyone thought that he would have an amazing rookie season, but in the end he had a disappointing one, mostly because he didn't get much playing time.

But he certainly didn't look disappointing last night. 

 @ Spurs if they found another Kawhi and they managed to get this fool undrafted next to everyone else.

 

[bigsmilesmgr]

Jazz new unis are nice

 

[buc em]

Last night made it look even more stupid how the Spurs had Simmons on the bench for the whole playoffs. Whenever he got the playing time last year he played real well.

I don't really think the Warriors have to start worrying about anything based on this game, you don't go 74-9 when you've made a massive change to your starting lineup.  It will take time.​

 ​

Remember how Miami started?​

 

[flyerthandelta]

If Klay Thompson stays inconsistent like he usually does they in big trouble

I agree they shouldn't panick after one game..but Miami's big 3 came together after never really playing with each other. The 'Big 3' in GS are still there and they added a Top 3 player in the league to their roster.

 

[Tony $now]

I knew the hot takes would be comical

LMA, and KWL played like I would expect them to. Simmons with 28 was the surprise. Dude had a career night !

Dubs defense looking suspect as hell. With no rim protector and only klay as a lock down defender, their defensive mistakes will be magnified all season. If Shaqtin' A Fool HOF McGee is the only option........Good Luck

Right. They've got 83 games to figure it out
