2016/17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Hurricane Season]

Steph definitely has a better handle.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Westbrook is better at Defense,getting assists,rebounds
They are the same at passing,handling,finishing (layups etc)
Westbrook is a better dunker
Westbrook and Curry are similar at mid range
Curry better 3pt/far mid range

incorrect

 

[Boogie]

Curry can't play defense for shit.
Westbrook is a better finisher or similar to curry

 

[Mexi]

Westbrook's defense is overrated
We all should know this

 

[Mexi]

Bulls wont make the playoffs (idk if thats even hot)

Joel Embiid will win ROY
James Harden will win MVP

*gulp*
utah will be a top 4 seed in the West

Portland wont make the playoffs

maybe 2017 will be different. As CC says, we're only 1/3 of the way through the season

 

[BNC]

Steph is also the better finisher, just because he can't dunk doesn't mean he's not a good finisher

 

[bosoxlover12]

Steph and Kyrie are the two best finishers in the league, with Isaiah coming probably at #3

 

[Mexi]

Isaiah's ability to get layups is incredible

Can the Knicks challenge the Cavs from the 9th seed? We'll find out how different this season is, may have ground breaking new rules 

 

[Mexi]

Finals preview?
Knicks/Rockets tonight

 

[dez]

Cheato not n bothered by that Knicks statement Mexi.

I'll just play the background .. lol

exactly. people think you have to finish with power to be a strong finisher.

I aint tryin to be disrespectful here, just in awe by his proclamations about the Knicks being a challenge. I like Porzingis, I think the Knicks could be something in the future, as long as they get rid of Phil.

Nah I feel you.. honestly I feel the same way.

He shoots nearly 70% from 0-3 feet, that's nearly peak LeBron levels. Russ shoots 58% and Kyrie e is at like 61%

 

[AiRuPtHeRe]

Why so much hate on Jaylen Brown here?

your teams are so confusing lol

Without looking at the actual numbers, I'd bet his attempts are lower than Kyrie's, and significantly lower than Westbrooks from that range. Those two guys take more risks, and probably take a few too many highly contested shots down low due to their athleticism/finishing ability. 
 
There are 30 players with a higher 3PT% than Curry, but he's better at shooting threes than all of them. Need to take into account the situations. 

 

[AiRuPtHeRe]

your teams are so confusing lol

 
Titans because when I first started following football which was from playing Madden 2000. I picked whoever was on the cover which was Eddie George
Celtics cause well I'm from Boston and their our fanbase is 10000x better than the Pats/Red Sox followers.
Oklahoma Sooners cause of Q (Quentin Griffin was the RB for the Sooners at the time)
UCLA Bruins cause of Arron Afflalo
Yankees (I don't really care much about baseball nowadays anymore but my brother was a Sox fan and we can't like the same teams)

 

[elcheato]

Jaylen Brown got drafted off his high school pedigree, he was not good at Cal. Which is fine, one season of college basketball doesn't define you, but I don't like his game.
