2016/17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[snipezo]

Raps at least put up a fight and made it interesting for a bit there. All you could ask for. 

 

[Rios15]

Other than the first quarter raptors were toe to toe

 

[elcheato]

Yeah raptors are back

Its just that melo, rose or kristaps could explode at any time
And to beat Cleveland, imo you need heroes

Rose and Melo aren't heroes. Lowry and DeRozan are better.

I guess Mexi truly believes in the Knicks, but all I was saying the other day was that I wouldn't be shocked if they made the ECF.  I don't think they will, and I'm certainly not predicting it, but I feel like they have all the pieces to do it provided they don't run into Cleveland in the first or second round.

 

[elcheato]

The Knicks aren't terrible, but this is all non-sense. 

 

[Hurricane Season]

This whole season is nonsense.  The finals have been set since July.

 

[buzzy]

it's because Playoff Lowry is literally the worst player in history

 

[elcheato]

I think Notre Dame can beat Golden State

People actually forget this

That's the case every year.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Before the season started last year, the Spurs were in the mix as well.
 
But yeah, the NBA has lacked parity for quite a while.

 

[elcheato]

This lack of parity is pretty fun when your squad is one of the teams responsible for it.

can confirm as patriots fan

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Did the patriots make the super bowl last year?

 

[bosoxlover12]

we were a missed xp from making it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

making the afccg from 2012-2015 and probably this year too, with 2 super bowl appearances is as dominant as a team can get bruh. but keep trying

 

[CameronCrazy06]

You're proving the point that there is parity in the NFL haha. LeBron has literally not missed the finals since 2010

 

[buzzy]

Aside from obviously being a league dominated by individuals, having four 7 game series really weeds out the worse teams. The sample size is usually large enough that upsets don't happen and the better team wins.
Would be interesting to have a one and done playoff system and a way shorter regular season like the NFL.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

There is some parity in the NFL, there's none in the NBA, and that's by their own doing.
