2016/17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Mexi]

who averages 32/10.5/9.5 yet only has a 9-8 record? That's crazy as fuck.

cause he hunts triple doubles

He goes for assists first
Then in the second half he hunts rebounds
Points are fluid

 

[Paulius]

He was getting triple doubles before lol. U acting like this season hes like ok im gonna go hunt. Thats his damn game , thats what he does

Another thing , in the first halves, great players usually try to get their own guys into a rhythm first , bc they can get into a rhythm whenever. Lots of great players used to/ still facilitate more in the first half and go off in the second half. Dont just apply it to him lol its a known thing..

 

[Mexi]

Hia game is to fight his 7 foot center for rebounds

 

[buzzy]

You make it sound like it's a bad thing.
OKC is top 6 in rebounding

 

[elcheato]

Are the Thunder low in fast break chances? I feel like a high rebounding PG is not good for getting out on the break. I have no data to back that up, but on the surface it just seems like a PG battling for rebounds doesn't help.

 

[buzzy]

Eh, even from the back court a speeding Westbrook is not a bad fast break option.
His big men aren't necessarily the quickest or most energetic rebounders, if he was playing with someone like DeAndre or Hassan he'd probably go for it less. 
 
And apparently OKC is 2nd behind Golden State in fast break points. Although that stat is just raw fast break points per game. Not sure about pace.

 

[elcheato]

Well then steal all the rebounds you can my man

 

[dez]

Some of y'all wild... years back y'all complained Westbrook did nothing but score..

Now that the dude is basically averaging a triple dub, y'all still critical lol.. dude doesn't have a whole lot of help.. whether its forced or not they need him to be overly aggressive..

 

[Paulius]

Dont say yall , talk to mexi directly, its just him

 

[Mexi]

Russ is gonna average a triple double
Hopefully they finish 8th though

Memphis' starting five had 34, Heat's had 41 points. Glad I didn't watch that game

 

[Hurricane Season]

This Grizz team has to be the most boring team in the history of the league.

 

[buzzy]

It wasn't even true what I just said. Apparently the people from The Score are retarded.

They're telling me the Heat won 90-81 when that's not even remotely true. Grizz won 110-107.

score has been fucking up. told me the pistons start in 15 minutes and never got another update until the game ended when they told me it was the end of the first quarter with the final score.

even if he doesnt average a triple double and hes a rebound shy, and they miss the playoffs, hes winning mvp. especially if he averages a trigger left double hell win. that team can miss and hes winning. sorry to james hard-on

 

[buzzy]

Oh fuck they had two games. I'm the retarded one.

My point still stands.

 

[Hurricane Season]

IDK why everyone has just counted Durant out of the MVP race.
 
He's the front runner right now, imo
