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

If Aldridge can play like LA from the Blazers the Spurs can get to the WCF. But he's been so damn mediocre. Def dont trust them this year in any series.

If LMA play like he did in Portland, no one else will be getting shots

Larry Sanders was cut because he missed a team bus once

Playoff Spurs LMA=Playoff Blazers LMA. He'll blow his load early and burn out

Looking at the brackets the 5 over the 4 are the only upsets I see in each conference

I don't know why, but I don't fear you guys like year's past.

At the end of the day, it'll be how well we respond when SAS put Kawhi on Conley. Our top 6 guys have performed well as of late, but its outside of the top 6 that concern me. Will need guys like B Wright, Daniels, Ennis, Selden or whomever to step up when needed. Ready to see if we have another drive to kick in because guys like Marc and TA have been coasting.

My whole thing is that The Grizzlies are just playing bad. They're bottom five in net rating post all star. I'm not one to believe in switch flipping.

is there a playoff thread?

don't do drugs kids.

I don't believe in the Celtics, but I really am hoping for a Wiz/Celtics semi. I don't think the Hawks can beat the Wiz in a best of 7, especially with a healthy Wall/Beal. I'd watch for the Spurs and Celtics to get upset this year.... Probably gonna be all top seeds advancing though.

What's weird is our net rating has been -4 since March 1st. But, our starting unit has the 2nd best net rating in the NBA since that time (at least 100 minutes played).

Starters + Zbo are going to play a ton of minutes in the series.

Magic Harden

Look at that skip pass

Thanks to Russ, Beard, and Giannis for making this otherwise forgettable regular season tolerable. Maybe once the NBA gets a living and breathing commissioner some of these issues plaguing the league will be addressed. But cheers to the playoffs and good banter as always.

One last TPA chart for the road:

Brodie with the best season of all time.

I thought the regular season was great

Alphabet
Russ
Harden
T1000
Cavs brought the lulz
Knicks brought the lulz
Lakers brought the lulz
Blazers were entertaining after the break.

The end of the first / start of the fourth is when the games will be lost for Memphis. Andrew Harrison is still the backup that is insane.

I hope Alphabet balls out in the playoffs

Knicks, Phil Jackson have agreed on option for the final 2 years of his contract, per @ramonashelburne and I -- https://t.co/pDSG4xOPP4

Bulls v Celtics is the closest 1st round 1v8 matchup in the last 10 years based on point differential

If Fizdale still go full Harrison mode come playoff time, I'll start to question what he's looking at. I think you're going to see some VC and other wings handling some of the backup duties. Harrison may not play or will be very limited.
