2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Black Adam]

I think I may take the over in every GS game this season....

trying to look at it logically, but imo NO team beats them when they play their "A" game this season...

Tough call there between Young and Hunter. I think they made the right call though.

Yeah but you know you failed at the draft when the final spot comes down to your first round picks from 2014 and 2015

Can't believe the Suns cut Goodwin.

Kid has potential.

But, they have way too many guards.

Cut him on his birthday.

They used the pick they got in the Doc Rivers trade to draft him.

Danny overplayed his hand keeping all those picks and using them on guys that play the same position.

I have to think he believed he had a trade for a Superstar in reach.

Why else would you draft Jackson, when you have Rosier, Smart and Thomas on the roster already?

Or, Brown when you have Hunter, Young, Bradley.....then you sign Gerald Green?

Yea it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I'm curious how the rotation is gonna work now. I'm guessing Green will backup Crowder, at least to start the season. They do still have a lot of depth and different combinations they can throw out on the floor.

Decided to just pick the Lakers this year on NBA Game Pass. It was either $35 a month for all the games or $15 a month for just the Lakers. In the past i've really only bothered with the Lakers due to the time difference even though i've paid for the whole lot.

Crowder is so underappreciated.

I think Boston will be a fun team to watch.

They just kept way to many of their picks.

Grizzlies' Parsons (knee) not cleared for opener
Mavs PG Harris (foot) likely to miss opener

One of those things that kinda surprised me but at the same time didn't at all. The timing and fact that they couldn't at least get a 2nd round pick in return for him were the surprising things.


He's got talent, but lacks consistency and his shooting is atrocious. Also not sure what position he really is, not a great distributor so not a PG, can't shoot or defend 2's well so not really a SG either, just a tweener.

His athleticism is off the charts though and I think he could be a solid rotation player and get 15-20 mins a game off the bench for most NBA teams. If he winds up in Philly or Brooklyn he'll put up #'s for sure though. Suns just have WAY too many guards to feed. Bledsoe, Booker, Knight, Barbosa, Ulis.... just no room for Archie.

Wish him the best.

Yeah I actually listened in on some of the ESPN media conference call this morning. They were both pretty high on the heat, at least compared to the current general consensus.

 

[bksballer89]

I know most don't care for Stephen A Smith but we can all agree with him on this....except for Warriors and Cavs fans I'm assuming.

 

[bksballer89]

 

[trojanfan12]

he said other eastern conf teams make moves in order to try and beat him. (which is absolutely correct)

Actually, that's not correct. Teams don't make moves to try and beat Lebron, they make moves to try to beat the Cavs because the Cavs are the team they have to go through to get out of the East.
