2016/17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Pugz]

he said he just hyper extended it

Bucks are terrible
I remember when BrewCrew said that the Bucks with Wade would be better than the Heat with Wade and Bosh healthy.

He also just recently said that if healthy with middleton , theyre the biggest threat to the cavs

Surprised paulius hasn't posted the MJ quotes
Or maybe i missed it

 

[Paulius]

Charles Oakley thug ass almost merked the entire security crew lol

 

[Mexi]

I just dont see how this heat streak is a good thing

Yes it shows they play hard, yes it shows spo is a great coach(we knew this)
But the heat had the 2nd worst record

The difference between the 13-14-15 pick and a potential top 2-3 pick is not a positive to me im sorry

I know they cant do anything about it. Theyve played with tons of injuries and just keep winning
Just bad (good)fortune for them

 

[Paulius]

Yea i brought that up the other day too. Shitty situation even tho the streak is fun and all. Im pretty sure Riley is upset with this streak tho, theres no way he can be happy with the future of the team being unknown and this streak meaning nothing at all

In a way he fucked up tho , shoulda never signed waiters , traded hassan for some serious youth and also dragic for some futures and went at it in this stacked draft

Hell , coulda even kept hassan and tanked. This draft is PG heavy , a guy like fox/DSJ/fultz woulda been nice for them, now theyre stuck with dragic and waiters and being mediocre.

Never doubt Riley tho, he could have some moves up his sleeve , but definetly snoozed on this nice ass draft

 

[buzzy]

Riley is definitely not upset about this. He was never in it for a long rebuild.
Of course if you're shitty you don't have a choice, but he also didn't pull the trigger on a Dragic trade when it was important to stay crappy.
He's gonna try to get better at the deadline, without being afraid to move some young parts.

 

[Paulius]

What would you do about winslow? Do you wanna see him with the heat in the near future?

 

[Mexi]

Just would have been nice to get a top pick thats all

Winslow is a tough situation

Similar start to jimmy butler and kawhi careers as being only really good defender without any offense , but those two became very good on offense too, so its a bit of gamble to trade him bc of that what if he becomes like jimmy butler, but from the small sample size this season, he was brutal

 

[Mexi]

Winslow and Josh Richardson aren't exactly great shooters. It sucks they got hurt though. Missing some experience

More reason they could have used the top pick

 

[buzzy]

Jury's still out on him, this season was a wash.
He's a great defender, but at this point I'd be surprised if he ends up being an All-Star caliber player

Richardson is a great shooter.
Him and Winslow being injured for most of the season is what's most frustrating about this Heat season

Ok last year in limited shots per game he was
This year was a rough start shooting 39/31 overall/3p
But it was a small sample of only 20 games so ill take your word for it

 

[Paulius]

This upcoming draft is so exciting

Cant wait to see where fultz/monk/jackson end up at

 

[Mexi]

Lonzo Ball has the worst shooting form ive ever seen
Im not sold on
Theres no way that shot will play in the NBA. Hes going to need a shooting coach to fix it

And his brother who just scored 92, im definitely not believing in him. But hes only a soph in hs so he has room to grow as a player

So far from his viral hits (92 points, pulling up from half court), im not a fan

 

[Paulius]

Lonzo is my Ingram of this years draft

Hate his hype, dont believe in him, not a fan

 

[Paulius]

Fuuuultz tho, now this boy is the future

 

[Paulius]

Kyle Korver finishes with 29 points on 8/9 shooting from deep in 26 minutes, tying his career high in three pointers.

Solid
