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

Bron ain't human

Bron always finds ways to improve himself, it's really amazing to see. Early years he was an athletic freak of nature, then Miami days he was an efficiency freak, now he is taking a step back in some ways while still averaging career highs in rebounds, assists, 3pt attempts, and 3pt %.

I never rooted for bron mainly because I can't learn anything from his game in terms of footwork, jumpers, etc...but I highly respect what he is doing and achieving.

Something tells me Wall will take it another level come playoff time and it will rub off the team. I want to see Wall cement his status as a superstar and this year's playoff appearance will be his chance. Toronto's hurt and the Celtics are unproven.


I can't wait for the Playoffs to start

East playoffs should be very fun.  I would take the Wizards over the Celtics.  Come playoff time I don't see a team relying on a no-defense ****** having an easy time.

Although I agree with you in most points and think that Wizards do have the advantage. I still believe in IT. He's consistently proven everyone wrong year after year and I hope he does it again this playoff run.

Not going to see a player like Bron ever again.

Vogel: “They put four 3-point shooters out around one of the best point guards in the world."

y'all think Bron will have a farewell tour like Kobe?

it'll be even BIGGER

 

[nick.]

Nobody has averaged 25-8-8 since Michael Jordan in 1989. Westbrook, Harden, and James are all doing it this season.

:x

Golden era! Don't let these Larry Holmes looking dudes tell you otherwise.

 

[addict4sneakers]

I don't think Dirk will get a farewell tour but absolutely should.

He's approaching 30k points

As always, this is a fact.

He definitely has done that. I'm sure he'll have at least one exciting playoff performance. But in the net the Celtics will be hurt by his defense and their over reliance on him.

Some people on here were so sure LeBron would have a sharp decline as he lost athleticism. Darvin Ham by age 30 was said by one of those weirdos.

 

[MajinZuub]

Lebbywinks has always caught mad hate on here
I'm definitely guilty of talking mad **** about him years back

 

[jjs07]

JD617 or any other C's fan on here....quick question. How do you forsee the Celtics going about a game plan in the playoffs knowing how bad defensively IT is? How exactly are they going to hide him so teams won't be going at him nonstop when they have the ball?

Probably depends on the match up at the time. Stevens is a solid coach defensively so it really just depends on the match up imo.

Avery Bradley, Marcus Smart, Terry Rozier, Jaylen Brown

I think Avery's health will be a big factor. I love his game when healthy but he hasn't been the most durable guy over the years. He went down in the first game of the playoffs last year, just missed a long stretch this year, came back for 3 games, and now he's out again. So that's been frustrating.

That's the dinner table Wall and Beal will be sitting at. They're gonna eat well.

Might not get past the Pacers

We're gonna play the Bulls in the first round because we're taking the 2nd spot from Boston. Hopefully the Clippers handle their business tonight.

Is this a lineup that Stevens actually deploys? All four of these guys on the court with IT?

Bradley/Smart, I get...can't speak too much on Rozier, but playoffs are a completely different beast. One of which I don't know how much I'd count on a rookie to have a significant impact (Brown.)

Avery will be the x-factor in the C's playoff hopes. Arguably the best perimeter defender in the league and when he's on the court, he's making a HUGE difference.

Wait til Jennings start to jennings. Bojan is perfect for Washington tho, I somehow pray his jumper can rub off on wall and they beat the cavs.
