2016/17 NBA Regular Season Thread

you can only listen to somebody forcing the Celtics into every transactions so many times.

to be fair, the celtics get mentioned far more by the rest of the media in regards to trades than bill ever brings them up

i hate that there cannot be legitimate celtics rumors, because they are linked to every single player that isn't Lebron James essentially. Over the past two years I've seen Westbrook, Durant, AD, Harden, Butler, PG13, Boogie, Blake, KLove, Melo all linked to Boston at one point or another

The Celtics rebuild is going to look like shit because we didn't acquire a megastar, despite doing a really good job on the rebuild tbh. I hate how the media turned the Celtics into

I think there's a difference between being actually linked to someone and some random people throwing out rumors because they have a couple of draft picks

This was a top 5 moment in Cavs history.
 
Look at the players Baron Davis was passing to

is Hickson in the league?

out of the list of names I provided, only Davis and George were names that were just "throwing names out there". Boston at one point was linked to almost every single person of the list I named (plus more, like Klay Thompson too) -- and its incredibly frustrating because I want it to happen, believe it possibly could happen, but know it wont

 

[bosoxlover12]

Like seriously, outside of Lebron, Curry, and CP3, I think i've seen a legitimate trade rumor from ESPN or other large media sites saying there is interest in a trade to the Celtics for like every star in the league

 

[cavsfan817]

I guess if you count a lowball shitty offer then yeah, they've had "legitimate interest" in everyone.

 

[buzzy]

You're gonna get your star, just not before the lottery.
This class is hyped, a third pick last year wasn't.
Someone's gonna budge when they can see Fultz or Smith in their future.

 

[elcheato]

I think he's in China, probably will sign with someone when their season ends.

Strange things happening in Toronto the last 10 games. Theyve been struggling extremely , losing to teams that they shouldnt

Losing by 15 to pelicans tonight , think boston as a seed this season is a possibility

 

[bosoxlover12]

if we beat them tomorrow, Brad Stevens coaches the Eastern All Stars

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Toronto isn't a good basketball team

 

[Paulius]

The coaches not yet picked?

Well then yea hope stevens over casey or Lue for sure

Pops over Kerr hopefully

 

[elcheato]

Stevens is the greatest coach in NBA history to have never won a playoff series

 

[bosoxlover12]

The coaches not yet picked?

Well then yea hope stevens over casey or Lue for sure

Pops over Kerr hopefully

its the top seeded team per conference, with no back-to-back coaching the ASG
 
So its Kerr versus whoever gets the 2 seed by Feb 5th
