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

[jsindaa]

everything in sports these days just has a narrative & people just refuse to break out of it No matter whats actually going on.

EVERY conversation regarding Myrie. Extra annoying

 

[abematic]

Curry a GOOD defender. Solid defender. Capeable defender.

Boy is cornbread on defense.

 

[antidope]

What can pop do to get LMA back to his 20/10 Blazer days ?

Nothing.

He thrived off iso ball in Portland.

for a guy in his second half of his career, he's having a solid yr
being more efficient> putting up and forcing stats

Except when it's time to make impactful basketball plays. He missed a game winning put back where he didn't jump at all.

I guess Shaq wasn't worthy of the MVP because he had to be taken out down the stretch to avoid being fouled, no?

This.

Far from a curry fan, but same logic here

 

[HIM]

Are we still calling curry an elite defender doe? What does coach nick think of it?

 

[rck3sactown]

No mention of Boogie vs the Blazers again tonight. Could be a classic.

that's tomorrow

Lillard's status is in doubt too

 

[kingjaffejo]

:x Adams nuts all on white sides back. Nasty

 

[Quincy McCall]

Lord this game is unreal like terrible, we had like 3 point guards this summer. None but Goran passed preseason

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Westbrook post up from 16 or more feet out, stand still turn around fade away one footed bank in... 

 

[xbiker47]

Triple double already :x

 

[MVP]

I've run out of superlatives for watching Russ play. I'm just going to refer to him as Neo from now on. Point Godzilla isn't strong enough anymore.

 

[awwsome]

Russ plays like a gladiator.

 

[xbiker47]

Russ plays like a gladiator.

One of my favorite players to watch

 

[Quincy McCall]

Whiteside still being babysat, over it alrdy

 

[trueprada]

Triple double already

15 = Triple doubles this season for Russell Westbrook 

18 = Triple doubles for rest of #NBA  players combined

 

[MVP]

Feel like this is going to be a recurring thing but joins the Big O as the only other player with 30 triple doubles in a calendar in a year.

Nah. Shaq and Curry both deserved their MVP's.




HOWEVER....


The same way how Shaq was a liability at the FT line, Steph is liability on defense.

Can't believe I'm bout to watch a man average a triple double.

We are all witnesses. It could by far be the greatest individual season in league history. OKC is a middle of the road team pace wise so it makes it even more impressive and he's doing it in only 35 minutes. His numbers this year adjusted for the pace of play in 1962, the year Big O averaged a triple double, yields him putting up 46/16/17 a game bruh. 

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Let's go Lakers. Get this thing back on track.

 

[nick.]

Phil Jackson & Jeanie Buss are getting a divorce

 

[Peep Game]

Can't believe I'm bout to watch a man average a triple double.
