Official NBA 2016-2017 Thread - 30 teams, 1 goal. 2 weeks left, so much can happen!!

Good game so far between the Cavs/Raps. It's also some good as college games on ESPN.

Kentucky vs Michigan State now
Then
Duke vs Kansas at 930
 
Where is Road Rage at with his analyst with why the Cavs are giving up a ton a points and struggling with everyone they play

While cats wants to talk about the Warriors defense is bad, the Cavs defense is horrible. Nice job of the Raptors choking that game away with the help of the refs.

Man where anybody ever alluded to the notation that the Cavs was pose to be a nice defensive team.

Shit Lue play Deep Fryer and Lil Kev together often in the 4th...

The last two games he been playing Jordan McRae and Fyre
 
KD trade didnt make them better. KD brought sand to a beach.

Offense is slower defense isnt quite there and also most importantly they missing Andrew Bogut passing and rim protection.
Bro, seriously what you smoking??? Offensive Efficiency 112.5, effective field goal % 56.3, true shooting % 59.3(these are last year numbers and they were 1st in each category); after only 10 games of this season: Offensive Efficiency 112.9, effective field goal % 57.1, true shooting % 60.6; so again I ask what are you smoking when you make comments about their offense??; They are also averaging 116.4 points per game, 30 assists per, .503 field goal %, which are all tops in the league and also better than their numbers last year; they are doing this with 2 new starters and 5 new bench players; and its only been 10 games; Their defense is ok, not bad but not great; but lets put that in perspective; Cleveland is rank 9th in defensive efficiency at 101.7; GS is ranked 14th at 104.6; I would say they are doing alright, wouldnt you?? I think some of you just need to come out and say I just hate GS; instead of making up things or just saying off the wall things that are not true......

Never said anyone said they're supposed to be other than RoadRage, but everyone was on the Warriors dick so hard they don't mention the Cavs having a trash ass defense.

Pretty much
 
you must forgot the 30 point blowouts heading into half time the -18.5 spreads teams taking timeouts after 3 buckets in the first quarter steph shooting from half court........not happening what you sniffing
I didn't forget anything and watch the games; and unlike you I'm not on here saying ridiculous stuff that not only the numbers say differently, but one can clearly see it; 6 new players and 1 other that's playing a different role; i don't know what you expected but both sides of the ball would be going thru transition; and they're already figuring it out 10 games in; stop smoking and stop making ridiculous assessments of a brand new team....
 
Put $500 down on the Vancouver Grizzlies to take the title this year. Shareef, Bibby, and Big Country are gonna win The Funk some cash this year. Mark my words.

Oh shit, they've been in Memphis the past 15 years?
 
3 stars of last night plus highlights...

Lebron with a typical 28pts 14asts 9rebs



D'Angelo Russell 32 Pts, 8 Rebs, 4 Asts



Hassan Whiteside 19 Pts, 25 Rebs

 
With their tight 121-117 win over the Raptors, the Cavs are now 9-1 — the best start ever for a LeBron James team.

We have a thread on this around here somewhere...




Do you agree with LeBron taking issue with Jackson's "posse" comments?


Rachel Nichols, Amin Elhassan and Stephen Jackson explain what they think of Phil Jackson using the word "posse" when referring to LeBron James and his associates.


 
Damn...


Lakers score 120+ points for the 4th time this season in win vs. Nets. That's one more such game than previous 2 seasons combined.



 
James Harden: Thunder Now A One-Man Show
NOV 15, 2016 11:11 PM

Westbrook_Russell_okc_160601.jpg


James Harden was asked about the state of the Oklahoma City Thunder this season following the departure of Kevin Durant, which came roughly a week after their trade of Serge Ibaka and almost four years after his own trade from the franchise.

Without Durant to share shots with, Westbrook's usage has increased dramatically.

"It's Russ," said Harden. "It's a one-man show."

The Houston Rockets play Russell Westbrook and the Thunder on Wednesday for the first time this season.

Harden and Westbrook are each posting more than 30 points, eight rebounds and nearly 10 assists per game so far this season

Damn. GS gave up how many points to GS with Toronto playing a back-to-back? Cavs ranked ahead of them. Why are folks still talking about Cavs' D? Bogut was like the Boogeyman to the Cavs.

They just need to focus on closing. I see that's where a WHOLE LOT of those points come into play. They literally just take the foot off the gas at the end and teams come and make it look like it was a huge struggle to pull out the win.
