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

[dman14]

lebron out there over reacting to dray's alleged kick. my mane dray can't control how his body reacts. it's a normal motion to him. league out there conspiring as always.

with that said, w's definitely upgraded this season. going to be hard to see them get beat in a series.
both w's and cavs should sleepwalk into the finals

That Draymond Green suspension hurt the most. I didn't think him being out would change the complexion of the series, but it def. did. Props to the Cavs for getting it done though. They still had to go out and execute.

I still think Steve Kerr needed to call that timeout after Kyrie hit that 3 to take the lead.

The Cavs will sleepwalk into the Finals. Warriors still have to go through either the Spurs, Clippers and the Grizzles.

not much resistance. spurs may take a gm or two, if they even make it to the w's. still very beatable by other teams
clips and griz just arent at that level. the biggest threat to the w's last yr, the thunder has been dismantled
cavs may fool around and give up a couple gms nobody even going to make them sweat

Yeah Kerr froze up after that 3. Forgot about that

Combining the two regular season wins, with their 3 wins in the first four games of the finals, they had an avg winning margin of like 20 a game or something like that. Literally the cavs did not have anything for them until chaos started to occur, starting in game 5.

Credit to the cavs though for taking care of business though and making the most of their opportunities

Yikes at the TNT schedule tonight, pretty sure Charles will announce at least once they were watching Chiefs vs Raiders instead.

Lol the difference between the dubs and the clips go far beyond complaining and cliches like making sacrifices and doing something different

Worst game of his career fasho

Malcolm Brogdon is 3rd in 3PT%, 6th in PPG, 1st in FT%, 4th in assists of all 2016 rookies while only playing ~20 mins/game

Brogdon already >>>>>> MCW

Chris Paul to damn conservative. He gotta start shooting the ball more and improvise.

He passed up a bunch of catch and shoots last night. Gotta protect those stats

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

I'm still puzzled why Speights left. Did he think they were going to magically fall off? He signed for the minimum while GS still had roster spots.

Unless I'm missing something.

 

[bhzmafia14]

Speights isn't lying

That's not the main difference, but the Clippers complain far too much. Its almost like they complain after every single call. Its a point where its league wide now. I know for a fact that refs are taking note. The worst is DJ -- he act like him getting fouled and going to the line is a good thing.

Yep, people say Westbrook stat pad but what Chris Paul does is much worse. Dude out he worried about his ORTG and PER. play the game man.

Man EVERY team complains. Hell the warriors have two of the biggest crybabies in the league with Draymond and Kerr lol

On a list of why the clips aren't ther with the warriors the complaining has to be near the very bottom

All teams do complain, but not after every call. It got so bad that the commentators on ESPN in our game mentioned it.

It can be a loose ball foul, ball going out on another team, blocking foul, reach in foul, etc. they are complaining non stop. I'm not saying other teams don't, but its a knowing fact the Clippers do it more than most.

Think he wanted a bigger role? Honestly Idk lol

 

[bhzmafia14]

From what I've seen, I don't think Blake is nearly as bad as he once was. DJ has stepped into that role of complaining and being in the refs face all the time. CP3 is CP3 when it comes to that.

Then, you have Doc

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Every team complains

Maybe speights meant that the officiating effects the team too negatively and gets into their heads

ESPN Mentioned it because of confirmation bias. If you look at the clippers and monitor their complaining then boom, you'll catch them complaining a bunch. The difference in the Clips complaining and the dubs or any other team complaining has been greatly dramatized.

I'm sure that sounds homerish but *shrugs*

Idk man

Maybe its just how ya'll complain. I see complaining all the time from all teams, but its a lot of getting in the refs face, pissed off looks, etc. I get when watching them

It can even happen in the first few minutes of a game before both teams get warmed up. First foul call and its already a complaint. I know I'm not the only one that sees it. The Warriors are similar in some regard.

I'm sure both teams are high on the list among technical foul leaders in the NBA.

edit:

Just checked and they're both #3 and #4 in player techs so far
