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

Okc was up 22 at one point in the 2nd half.. Westbrook only played 22 mins.. and Adams twisted his ankle early (only played 9 mins)

And it took a 3 at the buzzer to get it into overtime

Olidipo and albrines both played well though

 

what a difference a year makes

His stroke was Clarence Carter

 Line too easy Bruh, we ought to get a pretty Penny for Kanter but, I hope we don't move him.

You trying to get @shoeking2102  going or what G?

Lakersman is my dude and all but after that post (Dipset too) I believe he thinks the team that goes undefeated in Preseason or was Summer League champs, will probably be a contender or something.

Man Preseason is like the NIV Bible, it means nothing.

 

I didn't even know we got Ronnie Price man.

Dope! HE can D up. 

When I can't tell you what the THunder is picking up and dropping, the Grind is in overdrive. 

Time to come up for Air and chill TF out.

 

Did Mirotic lose a ton of weight? He looks skinny af to me

Does Chicago plan on having Grant as their backup point guard? Might as well just let Valentine run it tbh.. has Grant shown the ability to be a lead guard? I felt like he's more of a backup 2

 

Yeah, hopefully Mario gets around 20-22 mpg this year. He bulked up, so that should a little with his defense. Think he's worked on his handles, also. The squad is definitely gonna need his shooting.

 

This! MCW is horrible! Kidd should experiment and swap them. Delly won't do no worse than MCW.

 

You guys are too hard on MCW

Big Delly fan but no way he should start over MCW.

MCW does everything well and better than Delly except shoot and they won't need even a little bit of that from him, so what he does knock down is +EV

MC w/ no W > Delly

Triple Double type skill vs Pesky, I want TD(unless it's Playoffs then I want Playoff Delly > MCW)

 

(PM me when that one Dubs fan shows up.)

 

joel embiid's debut today 

 

Oh, a few friendly reminders (friendly this time):

NOW, THE CONFUSION THAT SO MANY FALL INTO IS ALONG THESE LINES: "Wait, so we're not allowed to say anything bad about Chris Paul in this thread? Can't say anything positive about Kobe in here? Not allowed to hate on the Cavs in here? Hate on the Warriors? Can't do any of those things in here? ONLY in those threads?"

No, dummy. 

Do not let this thread get taken over by emotional discussions. AND IF ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS ARGUE WITH PEOPLE ABOUT HOW GREAT BRON IS OR HOW TERRIBLE BRON IS OR HOW OVERRATED THE WARRIORS ARE OR HOW AMAZING KOBE WAS OR HOW MUCH YOU HATE THE SPURS...

... DON'T.

Just set up shop in the thread that fits your agenda and emotion.

I will joke about Bron's failures when they come up. I will joke when the Warriors lose to a team they got NO BUSINESS losing to. I will also big Lebby up when he shows out. I will post all kinds of things myself that could also fit in those (and other) threads... BUT I MYSELF WILL MAKE SURE THIS THREAD DOESN'T GET TAKEN OVER BY MY AMUSEMENT WITH... WHATEVER.

I WILL GOVERN THAT MYSELF.

If that sounds too hard for you, PM me so I can just restrict you from the thread now.

 

Embiid is gonna be everything what Bynum should have been.

 

Listen...Portland is gonna be a great team to watch this year. Theyre going to be tough for squads in the west. Top 5.

 

Mirotic had an appendectomy in February and lost a ton of weight. Valentine looks the best candidate for the back up PG position but it's only one game.

 

Should be a fun season.

Knicks and Bulls will be good.

Interested in seeing what the rookies do. Damn shame about Simmons.

Warriors over Cavs in 6 games.

MVP - Lebron

ROY - Hield

 

Lakers game tonight.

 

RE: Thunder vs Real Madrid

* Real Madrid is stacked man

* Good seeing my man Sergio Llull do his thing last night. I fear that he is never going to come over but I would like to see him get a shot in the NBA

* JayCee Carroll's jumper still wet

* Nice to see Trey Thompkins increase his range. Saw him shoot a few contested 3's last night

* Steven Adams look heavier to anybody else?

 

TBH, I couldn't look at anything on Adams other than his handlebar mustache.

Man I can't believe Thompkins is still "stuck" overseas.
I don't know how his 15-16 Season went but I know he balled out last Pre-Season too.

He was top 5-10 in a lot of categories including minutes.
Tops doesn't mean a lot for preseason NBA but Euro League teams are normally running a more solid team out than just cutting down the roster or tinkering

 

Better late than never....

 

Movie star Denzel will be the best PG on the team by the end of the season.


**** Rondo.

 

Ah ok makes sense. I didn't even know anything happened with his shoes, let alone Reebok as a whole. Thanks for the info.

I still dk why MJ don't want him man

 

Anthony Hamilton got a JB contract and John Wall doesn't

 

Drake has a JB contract and he once tore his ACL on stage rapping.

Wall had surgeries on both knees trying to carry the Wizards franchise, he's livid.

 

Wolves gotta trade Rubio off the strength of this outfit.


He look like a young mother on her way to a book club.

 

***** looking like a 2016 Brenda on her way to the dumpster
