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

[awwsome]

Anybody think the Warriors going to flirt with 70 wins again this year?

 

[MVP]

Personally I hope the standings in the West stay just like they are, really good playoff matchups with maybe substituting my baby Lakers for Portland.

If Kerr didn't let Klay go for 80 a few nights ago, he's not going to let the team go for 70 wins.

 

[awwsome]

feels good 

interested to see how this stretch of games goes, considering our strength of schedule is almost dead last in league to start the season..lot of tough games coming up

Not even tripping now that Kidd figured out Henson is the best center on the team.

Giannis and Bari continue to get better, not only that but they both show up for the biggest games and seem to love the stage.

I don't think they'll be perusing it like they were last season, but they'll get close again. I think 67 wins is probably where they end up at.

Also shouts to Luke Walton again for letting Ingram play PG and giving him all the minutes he can handle.

Dude is going to be great coach in LA, could see him having a 6-10 year run depending on how things go.

Just sucks they capped their ceiling a bit with the Moz/Deng contracts.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I hope the Bucks hold on to a playoff spot. Greek needs more exposure. Even though they would get stomped against Cleveland him putting up crazy #'s while Lebron is on the other side would help his stock.

 

[MVP]

It's become a necessity with the injuries lately but initially I think it was to force BI to be aggressive which he has been more of as of late even though his shot isn't falling.

Deng and Mosgov are going to hamper is from taking that next step though

Henson left hook on the block...money

I vividly remember you saying how the Knicks aren't going to be laughed at anymore after you guys signed Noah and traded for Rose. Maybe JD or somebody can find it, but we had a brief discussion about it before the season started. I'm just too lazy to find it

Why are you trying to show me the Grizz roster and say they're bad based on your analysis? Nothing I've said over the last few weeks have been screaming we are about to win a championship. As soon as I mention us having the defense and physicality to beat a team like the Warriors, you go up in flames about how the team "supposedly" sucks when you've watched maybe 1 game of them (against your team) this season....

It's just annoying to ALWAYS hear you mention the Grizzles. Especially when saying they have a shot at beating the Warriors. It's just downright hilarious. Bless your fandom though. Sports need more naive fans like you.

Why do you spend so much time talking about my posts when 80% of this thread talks about their favorite team or player on a consistent basis? I think its annoying when people post about the same team for 4 pages in a row. But, I'm not going to ***** about it. ***** about those people instead of me putting some color into the conversation every now and then instead of always talking about the Warriors for the 600th time in one day b.

I'm not being naive. I clearly stated my vision of this team several times on here, yet, you still don't understand.

Stop trying to lump me into a category and step outside of your box a little. It doesn't take much to learn a little more about other teams / players. Maybe its naive fans like YOU this thread needs less of because you obviously think the NBA only exists in 4 or 5 cities. Not to mention, you probably think certain squads who had less playoff success have a better shot at beating the Wariors. Yet, you probably couldn't provide clear insight on why. Carry on with your jokes, though. I've seen you get called out about your lack of bball knowledge on here enough to know its time for me to stop discussing it with you.

Ya'll do know Greek Freak has been in the playoffs before with the Bucks as a 6 seed right?

Hol up, Timeout


I know bhz loves his gizzels but he really said they have a shot at GSW??

He blocking everything too.

No.

This is how it all started -

My stance doesn't chance -- you will need an elite defense to beat the Warriors in a playoff series and at least 2 guys capable of playing at a high level.

Cavs showed that

OKC showed it

Grizz showed it to an extent, but they were hurt

All of these teams were elite defensively when they played the Warriors in the playoffs. Two of Three came up short -- one team had their 2nd best player hurt and other blew a 3-1 lead surprisingly.

IF Utah gets the shot, they'll probably end up giving GSW a lot of trouble as well, along with the Clippers. Just not sure if I put "physical" and Clippers in the same category.

then good ol' scorpio came through saying all i talk about is the grizz

maybe if you take off your stock market goggles and watch them enough, you'll form an opinion outside of the norm casual fan laugh.gif going off your opinion of the team, we would be in the bottom 3rd of the west right now.

i'm not saying the grizz are going to knock off the warriors in the playoffs. i'm sure most will say no one in the west will knock them out in a series. that's common knowledge for someone who watches basketball enough.

i do think they have a better shot than over half of the other playoff teams, though. they are one of the teams along with clippers, spurs and utah with elite defenses and physical enough squads to do so.

but, when i let the choppa rip eventually, then i'm going to be in the wrong.

I see. A lil homer talk in there but nothing crazy.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

If it was a little homer talk, I wouldn't mind. But this has gotten out of hand

yeah but he wasnt nearly the player, kidd didn't unleash him put the ball in his hands til late last season

plus he didn't have a running mate that season, Bari lost most of his rookie year to injury

Right.

After the championship...you still have to face the reality that you live in Ohio and your parents are probably cousins.

I'll help you out even though I don't really want to be in the middle of this feud.

This rhetoric of the Knicks signing non-all stars for big money is over done and frankly played out. You need to find a new bag of jokes, because 2011 called and they're asking for their jokes back

Non-All Star Noah signed for 4 years/$72 mil a few days later.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not a fortune teller, nor was I enthused with this signing. Still doesn't prove a point.

Noah to Minny for a heavily protected 2nd round pick

Do it Thibs!
