2017/18 NBA Regular Season

[Mexi]

Last I checked the Celtics were the favourites

 

[Mexi]

Ill give Harden credit for the regular season, i really will if he wins it. Hes been great

BUT

dont tell me i didnt tell you so when playoffs come around

Mexi, you have gotten so lost in this regular season success man. I really feel like youll be so disappointed in the playoffs. Youre really really forgetting how much Dantoni gets exposed in the playoffs when his team cant play fast anymore. I really hope you dont think that this is how Houston is going to be killing teams in the playoffs when everything slows down

When Rockets are knocked out early in the playoffs, i wont be kicking you while youre down but dont come in here shocked about Rockets losing like it wasnt seen a mile away. And trust me, itd be awesome if im wrong, and itd be awesome to see gsw go down but im sorry dude, its not happening

your living in the past
They can go slow too.

Last night in utah, without capela, Gordon and Anderson

On a second of a b2b, they won by double digits without even scoring 100

This team is good. You guys should start buying in

 

[elcheato]

I was on team the rockets are actually bad and no one realizes that they will miss the playoffs, weird

 

[Mexi]

Okc could miss the playoffs
Dont think they will but they could if you look at the standings

All those people who ask, why would paul leave?
I think the question remains, why would he stay?

 

[Paulius]

Because guys dont play for regular season, they play for the playoffs

The answer if he stays will be clear as day after we see how they perform in the playoffs

 

[BNC]

The cp3s traditional 2nd round. Depends a lot on the matchups tho obviously

Wcf would be great success for them 

Way to hedge your bets there

Are you saying that Russ isn’t trying that hard in the regular season?

 

[Paulius]

Lol no

Mexi said okc might miss the playoffs so the question remains why would he stay

What im saying is his decision will be made by the way they perform in the playoffs, not the regular season

 

[Mexi]

OKC is only 2 games from 9th (same losses at 9th place clips)

Paul could do that in LA

Interesting. Philly definitely checks a lot of boxes. Makes a ton of sense

 

[Pugz]

they'd probably be the eastern favorite if he does go there, and him being there would help build those young guys up to take over for him when he leaves.

that being said, not sure he goes there long term. dude is probably signing a one year deal until he retires unless he stays in cleveland

 

[Paulius]

OKC is only 2 games from 9th (same losses at 9th place clips)

They’re also 2 away from 3th place so lets wait and see

We wouldnt even be having this convo if Robes didnt get injured and they didnt need 20+ games to adjust

Next year will be completely different

Ahh the good ol hopping from team to team and taking 1 year deals incase shit burns down so he could pack up and jump on some other team leaving shit behind to burn down

Classic

 

[Mexi]

He could always burn the entire payroll and fuck up the future like kobe did

 

[Pugz]

you know, he takes a longterm deal in cleveland or la. thats all i got

 

[Mexi]

He wont ever do a long term deal
He likes having power
He likes puttimg pressure on the FO

 

[Pugz]

He wont ever do a long term deal
He likes having power
He likes puttimg pressure on the FO

which is why they should fight back and refuse to sign him

 

[bosoxlover12]

Thats not why you dont do a long term deal

You dont do a long term deal because the cap is continuously rising and you get paid more as a result. LTDs are done for job security and Lebron doesnt need security because hell get whatever he wants

 

[BNC]

which is why they should fight back and refuse to sign him

"I know you want to play here LeBron, but we don't really want you on that deal" - Exactly how a GM will be fired

 

[BNC]

Thats not why you dont do a long term deal

You dont do a long term deal because the cap is continuously rising and you get paid more as a result. LTDs are done for job security and Lebron doesnt need security because hell get whatever he wants

He also wants the power and to force the FO to make winning moves
