2017 NBA Season Thread

[eternalreflection]

Lmao are you guys blind? His feet weren’t set.

It's never reviewed, we could have games last 6 hours if they start reviewing every single call(Draymond might actually foul out at least). Especially charge/block calls which are split second judgement calls.

Then they miss a 100x more obvious lane violation before the JR idiocy.

this league sucks, honestly.

The Paul injury and LeBron's broken hand was a gift from God. I have never seen a team benefit from injuries as much as the Dubs.

They must bring back hand checking to get rid of this dribbling festival that we have to watch. They need to get rid of this garbage where guys pump fake and launch into people and attempt shots that they would never ever take normally. The 3 free throw trash offense Harden runs, for example. The NBA is starting to remind me more of the way I felt when I watched the Harlem Globetrotters play. It doesn't feel like a serious game anymore and last night's finale was a perfect example of that.

And bring back the goddamn hard foul and put the replay pussyfooting away

The Paul injury

The warriors are a great team no doubt but the injury luck they've had over the last 4 years has been crazy.

2015 - Conley injured. No Kyrie and Love in the finals.
2017 - Zaza cheap shot to Kawhi.
2018 - Chris Paul for game 6-7.

I don't count the Lebron hand injury because the cavs were going to get trounced after the end of game 1 blunder anyways. They were mentally done. Plus the injury was self inflicted so don't feel bad for Lebron/cavs in that sense.

Granted they had to win a couple of series in this run with Curry injured, but in the later rounds they've had really good luck with other teams star injuries.

You believe that fake lebron hand injury? That shit is a sham...

I stayed out of the thread because how many stories and excuses made against the dubs. Jealousy breeds envy.

Draft has been been boring. 6ers stay with process and did Bridges dirty. Good trade but seeing his mom who works for team celebrate just stains it all

In re LeBron free agency
For reals dude should just go to the warriors. Straight up. It's not like money is an issue in his life. If money is an issue in LeBrons life somebody has done something wrong there. If dude can't take a pay cut for a guaranteed string of never ending championships for the rest of his career something is wrong. The league sucks. Nobody could compete except the spurs and even then prolly not really. The rockets whatever. Maybe maybe not competitive would they win? Lulz no.

this league sucks, honestly.

@kels
Agreed to most of that rant in re how bitch the game has become

Lebron to the Lakers.

Fuck this leva. I hope the mexican goonies key his yacht.

[capable_keL]

Lonzo is a bad fit next to LeBron. LA needs shooters and defenders and LeBron just downgraded his supporting cast. Yet, it will be fun watching the Kobe heads try negotiate their hatred for LeBron now

Call it the National Chasing Rings Association

[Philaflava]

I would love to see how the Balls act now that LeBron is in town. I can't see Bron Bron entertaining the father if he gets out of line and I can't see the father playing the background at all.

[alpha]

Instant upgrade over his Cleveland team.

[Blockhead]

The lakers should make some trades and go for Kemba or cousins if they can't land kawhi. and Lonzo would be the first dude I'd deal. Him and bron together makes no sense at all.

I'm extremely skeptical that cousins will ever return to what he was before the injury

2016 - Steph got hurt twice in the playoffs and could barely drive after he came back vs OKC. They have injuries..they've had injuries to KD and Steph throughout the season, but they overcome them. Also, Conley barely missed any time, dude was fine when gsw started to throttle them.

hhahaha you saw that? mac's my guy but , yeah, he didn't know what he was talking about.

Summer league is girthy AF

Jaren Jackson Jr is looking like the pimp of the draft so far.

The NBA at its best was when teams had an identity and superstars had their cities that they built into powerhouses. When you think Bird you automatically think Celtics, Magic/Lakers, Jordan/Bulls, Isiah/Pistons. They didn't team up three at a time to cheese a title they built the team they were on and all won multiple titles. Now these punks are leaving the teams that drafted them high and dry for nothing to make it a 3 or 4 team league with everyone else biding their time until they can be free agents and hook up with 2 or 3 of their buddies. Nobody will ever take getting beat by someone personal if they can create an easy way to a ring as soon as they can hook it up through free agency.

What exactly has you mad? Boogie, LBJ?

[Smithee]

^ Think he meant KD and Boogie.

Kel mad. Lolz.

[capable_keL]

treveon bluiett, after two games, is averaging 25 ppg and has hit 12 of 18 three pointers. i think the pels might have found a UDFA gem. if there's a player who's shown up better in the SL so far, let me know

[unclebengi]

Two that have stood out to me are Shai Gilgeous Alexander and Wendell Carter, Knox been impressive as well
