2016/17 NBA Regular Season Thread

He's a poor man's Biyombo. I don't think he's near as intimidating defensively. I still think he's a bench player he doesn't rebound enough. Carroll is definitely disappointing though... I don't even know why he's still starting I'd rather still have James Johnson lol. I think I would've pulled the plug on getting Millsap but then again I don't know how much they wanted. But this is the best Raptors team of all time so why not go all out.

He isn't but he isn't a huge black hole offensively, given his ability to pass. He's also got way better hands than Biyombo.

A lot to be said about how the Cavs were a .500 team before they originally traded for JR Smith, and how they've played like a .500 team since he got hurt this year. People forget that he was almost voted the #1 SG in the league by The Sports Forum

what's the longest winning streak this season?

I don't know man... I'm not that impressed but I can admit he's been a pleasant surprise. If Masai ain't planning to go for it now with what we have and Lowry expiring then I'm not sure what the plan is.

Hassan and Dion the new Shaq and Penny

fucking child labor day in Miami

Kevin Love is back after being out for the rest of the year. What a comeback

 

[Hurricane Season]

what's the longest winning streak this season?

 
Warriors won 12 straight at one point.
 
Probably that.

That James Harden call where he jumps on a guy's back is absolutely the most absurd thing I've ever seen. There is no rule in the rulebook that dictates that that is a foul on the defensive player and I cannot fathom how two separate officials have allowed that to be called, and that there isn't a much greater controversy on the league's hands considering one of those calls directly affected the outcome of one game in Houston's favor. That this isn't a bigger problem is an indication that people have conceded in general that NBA officials show unacceptable favoritism and that there's nothing to be done about it.

Also, fuck bad luck when it comes to Lavine's injury. He was having a breakout season and, in my opinion, had relegated Wiggins to the role of 3rd wheel. This. Fucking. Sucks.

Been enjouing your posts lately bware , nice job

 

[Paulius]

Lavine tho

 

[elcheato]

You would have loved them last year when he said Harden made Houston worse and how they needed to get rid of him

 

[Paulius]

Idk if id go that far , but atleast he sees the real truth about them this year. Will fold in the playoffs , cant rely on jumpshooting every game

 

[Paulius]

I do remember him always praising howard tho and bashing harden which i never agreed with bc howard is a baby back bitch

 

[buzzy]

As much as I enjoy this streak, Miami is going to finish in no man's land, likely a couple of games shy of a playoff berth. Really a waste of a season.

 

[elcheato]

yea but Dion has long ass balls, and that's something to be proud of 

 

[buzzy]

Long Ball Larry

 

[elcheato]

long balls, change your drawls
