2015 NBA Regular Season Thread

It really irritates me how often players step OoB, now. It's effing crazy how many times it happens in games at every level.

Top ten is aggressive when i sit and type names lol

But hes pretty much there when you factor his age and maturity with his skillset
Hes a special player

Hes a center version of a guard. Cmon

Must suck being a sixer fan
Going from hinkie to the colangelos is a backwards move

because hinkie was great

 

[Mexi]

Bryan is just gonna be traditional
Sign free agents, handcuff them with contracts, be a middle of the pack team

But if hinkies guys, saric, embiid and this pick plus maybe a laker pick develop

Itll be hinkies revenge

 

[Pugz]

they did it.

 

[Hurricane Season]

I wanted to see the Spurs go 41-0.

 

[buzzy]

It all rests on Lance Stephenson now

Huge history in these last two days of the offseason

1) Last two games we'll ever see Kobe. Enjoy it guys, seriously. I know he has his detractors but this guy is an all-time great.
2) Warriors winning tonight is crazy. I don't think anyone thought they would. They are one win away from being the greatest regular season team ever.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I actually think Michael Wilbon made a good point though. The record isn't 72 wins. The record is 87 wins (I think the first round was still best of 5 back then?)

If the Warriors don't win it all, it doesn't mean a thing.

They are, regardless. I mean, I get it--the best record is the best team, but I think this is the best team of the last 30-40 years. Maybe I'm crazy, but they are practically unbeatable. Look at last night in Memphis. How many times has Golden State been down 8-10 with 5 minutes to go but because of their crazy scoring ability, come back to win the game? It's unbelievable. There has probably never been a team so adept at getting off the ropes .

i was just thinking this the other day. i think they can do it.

this regular season has been historical all around. from start to finish. we may never see anything like this from the league in our lives.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I'm not saying they can't do it, but if they don't win it all, they won't even be in the discussion for greatest team ever. All they'll be is the best team to not win.

 

[BwareDWare94]

The thing is, who's going to beat them? I honestly don't think San Antonio is any better against Golden State with Tim Duncan. They're just not a good matchup for him at all. They'd just put Draymond at the 5 and let him give LA hell. 
 
The biggest threat has to be OKC, in my opinion. SA is right there, too. Then LAC. LOL at the rest of the West.

 

[Pugz]

i think gs can cruise to the finals and should win easily then too.

 

[buzzy]

In the end the Bulls' record only stood for 20 years. Little immature to say it won't happen again in our lifetimes.

i was talking about everything that we watched this year. not just from gs.

I'm not sleeping on Cleveland if they're healthy, but GS is so much more well-coached. It really isn't close.

If Houston finds a way to win tomorrow against Minnesota (it really isn't likely), I think they get the 8 spot. 1. If Utah loses to Dallas and Houston wins, I think it's over for the Jazz, but if Dallas loses to Utah and Houston wins, they have to beat SAS to get in. How likely is that?

Houston has the opportunity. They have to take care of business. About the only reason I want them to make it is because I want to see JB retained.

What are the tiebreaker scenarios?
