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

[jjs07]

Otto Porter definitely getting 100 million, he's only gotten better every year.

He's turned into a borederline elite catch and shoot player, great rebounder for his position and just a high IQ on both sides of the ball.

I think he could turn out to be a better player than Rip Hamilton.

chill whoady

U gotta watch Otto this year. Brooks & his staff have unleashed him. He reminds me an awful lot of Rip. The way he's constantly moving, coming off screens, and having a lethal mid-range. What he's great at...even with his weight MAYBE 190, is getting boards. Dude is always getting crazy position for rebounds. I really believe he can be a more souped up version of Hamilton with what he's capable of doing on both ends of the floor.

If Wiz had a bench and Beal wasn't made of 100 dollar bills, they would be lit in the East.

 

[youngwolf]

donatas motiejunas didn't show up for his physical w/rockets this morning

Now, even their own role players telling them "no thanks."

Yikes.

 

[freeze]

wonder why he doesnt want to play there. houston is damn alright. Monopoly and Harden have that squad eating.

 

[Peep Game]

Can we put Omer Asik on that team?

I guess his contract isn't that bad anymore with the new CBA, but he's signed through the 2019-20 season and 30 years old.

I guess he just never fully recovered from his knee injury in his last year in Houston. He used to grab boards like a man possessed. Now he looks extra washed. Whether on the stat sheet or watching actual games, he looks like a footnote.

Top 5 scoring performances I've seen:

1. Kobe 81 vs Raptors
2. Kobe 62 in 3 vs DAL
3. Kobe 61 in the Garden
4. Kobe 60 on farewell night
5. Kobe 65 vs Blazers

 

[nick.]

Melo's 62 >>>

I just don't know how to remedy the bench. No one is going to take the contracts of Smith/Nicholson.

The bench is historically bad. Which sucks due to how good the starters are.

And that's why I'm not shocked at how bad they're doing

Their bench is too thin

AD murdering the Pistons last year is underrated.

Last Grizz post of the day

Troy Daniels is shooting 40.4% from 3-point range this season (11 games).

He shot 14.3% (3-21 3P) in his first 7 games this season.

.@troydaniels Last 4 Games:

24.5 points
53.1 FG% (34-64)
55.6 3P% (20-36)
32.0 minutes

Of course, he's not going to average 24ppg , but is he finally turning into an actual PLAYER? The Grizz wanting him to watch a lot of tape on JJ Redick in the offseason. He's always been an elite shooter, but almost unplayable for long stretches because of his defense. Based on the eye test, his defense has been tolerable enough especially with him averaging 30+ minutes a night.

 

[awwsome]

Troy Daniels shooting damn near 10 threes a game recently.

He'd have a bigger role in Brooklyn

That performance made my list on the last page. I was there, dude was unreal.

[P C H]

My favorite Kobe scoring performances was the 50 on LAC (40 in the 2nd half. Was at that one)

The 48 on philly after the suspension (was at that one too)

And the 51 on Sacramento. They lost in OT if I recall

All 05-06

Word up. Eff Houston for matching. Dude clearly doesn't wanna play there no more.

Kobe hitting 9 three's in a row was lit too

 

[starboy]

Restricted Free Agency needs to go away

 

[freeze]

I dont remember how many points he had, but one of my favorite kobe performances was the Amnesty Game. Son cooked the Mavs and then said 'Amnesty That!' to Cuban

DUI Ty's 10 straight 3s against us >>>

True, to me, RFA doesn't make sense

 

[freeze]

it does when you're a team worried about losing a star.

it's a disadvantage to the player, only if they dont know how to play the game.

a good example is Jeremy Lin. If you have a good agent, you can polish yourself in a way that you can get crazy offers from other teams that drive your match price up. Then you can get really paid.

 

[awwsome]

Real talk, only hurts players.

Him going back and forth with Antwaun Jamison in the oracle is underrated
