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

They are definitely trigger happy, but Lebron and Kyrie love taking it to the rack. Remember how Bogut spooked them last year? Sparked runs, and then sat down.

Cavs all over the place offensively if we get down to it. I just hope everyone is healthy come playoff time. Shit will be great IMHO. Already witnessed a chip for them, so I'm happy.

And the warriors take it to the rack too which is the point man. BOTH TEAMS DO but 1 team is a jump shooting team stigma while shooting less 3's than the team that gets called a team that takes it to the rack

The warriors average 47.2 points in the paint per game. that is #4 in the NBA
 
...and are one of the best defensive teams while the Cavs are giving up 120 plus and losing 25 pt leads to a team like the hawks who arent an offensive juggernaut...
Nah I'm not here to shame the Cavs I'm just trying to change the false talking points about the warriors. Cavs are a great team they're the reigning champs and they got better with their pickups

Funny though
Every year teams try and get better but the warriors are supposed to NOT get better.
Funny how after not winning the championship they were supposed to not go after Kevin Durant meanwhile every other team is trying to get better and add pieces and everything right? If you didn't win shouldn't you make moves so you can win the next year?
Also funny how the narrative disappears through no fault of the cavs- which i have no problem with them getting better and making moves that's what you're supposed to do
My problem is the idea that it's OK if every other team does it just not the warriors. You niggas stay exactly how you are let everyone else get better so they can beat you so we can be happy.
 
Yet the warriors average a league leading 30.8 assists a game.
Hmm.
Interesting.
This is because the Warriors play a system and the same way every night while the Cavs usually play accordingly to their opponents.
So in other words if your a team that has problems with protecting the paint and dribble penetration, the Cavs will have less team assist due to them attacking off the dribble..
How ever if they start to collaps hard in the paint then they will start collecting assist with the kick outs..

It's funny that folks on this board have been debating this jump shooting shit for the last few years. Both teams will take it in. GS has a better system. Cavs just have Lebron and Kyrie switching off. The teams are highly adaptable, but for different reasons.

Nothing I am saying is a slight on the Cavs. I'm not comparing the teams I'm comparing the ideas about what the teams do.
The cavs are great and the defending champs they're fine.
I'm defending the criticism and stigma's the warriors receive and passed off as truth.

That's all I'm saying but it's not just on the board.
Charles will call the warriors a jump shooting team and be mute on the Cavs lol
literally every other team in the nba he'll call a jump shooting team but the cavs who only take less 3's than the rockets
and that's all good. Long as 1 person sees this then I'm good.

Neither team should be slighted on, they just have different approaches to the game, which ironically often nets almost identical results..

The Cavs are an inisde outside team while the Warriors are more of an outside inside team.. But despite of those differences the effect is just about the same.

I disagree with outside in. I think the warriors are more of a best shot team whatever it may be. It just so happens that sometimes those best shots are the ones that are from midrange or 3.
That's all.
it's all semantics I just want truth and actual receipts in the discussion as opposed to Barkeley and Shaq talking points.

The Warriors run more plays to free up their outside shooters and depending on how the defense plays it, it will lead to an outside shot or a attack to the rim.
Often teams are neutralized against their small line up and have to take out their rim protectors, this is initiated by their outside shooting and movement that goes along with it.
I actually like to see the Cavs do more of this on the court instead of only playing the inside out game..
 
Noel played well last night and I see Justin Anderson did too

Trade could be a win for both teams

I like what Noel brings to the Mavs

15 and 17 with good defense last night

I really like what Dallas is doing, they are not star stuck on the big superstar names, but instead going after underrated talent that is flying under the radar..
They should consider picking up Jordan Mcrae just released for the Cavs, he is small and skinny but the boy can flat out score that might blossom into a great player on the right team.

Yep it took them a while but they are doing it right now

Build the team the right way around young players and get under the radar guys that can play

Get this draft pick and hope he can be groomed into a star cuz we ain't never signing a huge star free agent

Barnes and Noel are good foundation pieces gotta just add from there

And Seth Curry has been BALLIN the last couple weeks on the cool

He just needed a chance the man can shoot the ball it runs in his family lol

Yogi cool but he isn't the future but I'll take him to replace these JJ Barea Devin Harris ass niggas off the bench
 
Hawks:hmm:..need I say more; what did they do against boston the other night:hmm:...

You realize that the game against Boston was a give away game right?

That game was about testing how Williams and Kyrie would look in a backcourt together and breaking in Williams into the team. It was a how small can we really go experiment. They didnt bring him in to play so many minutes. And certainly didnt bring him in to play clutch minutes.

Damn son. Yogi just won rookie of the month but you still ain't fucking with him huh?
 
No Barbosa, Speights, Bogut the year earlier. This 2nd unit isn't as good as they were. No shooting in the 2nd unit.
West is providing more production then Speights. West is not only scoring but playing good defense while being a great offensive distributor on the post.

Barbosa is the one who has not been replaced yet. With McCaw now getting extended minutes, the Coaching staff and his teammates are telling him to be more aggressive. He has all the skill in that the world to be an instant scorer off the bench.
 
So that game didn't mean anything but the hawks game did:hmm::smh:they must not have been experimenting against the Hawks :hmm::lol:man like i said u guys are too funny:lol:

I didnt watch the hawks game but who said it was an important game?

You are the one who brought up the Celtics game so im giving you the real about that game. It was an experiment. Not every game is gonna be an experiment of course.

You can address that instead of making stupid comment.

My text that you commented on was in response to another poster comment about the cavs being on a roll; before u label someone comment as stupid know exactly what they are saying and why; feel free to reread the thread to get caught up; i think that would be the smart thing to do.......

What i labeled a stupid comment was you answered to me when I explained to who what happened in the Celtics game.

It was stupid because you couldnt address what happened in the game, after YOU brought it up.

Are YOU caught up yet?

Dude stop it; you are reaching and you not following; what happened in the game is the Cavs lost; regardless of why; and thats all I was commenting on; breaking down the game is what you are trying to do; that doesnt matter at all; And them testing out shit well of course they gonna be; they probably gonna be testing until the playoffs; that goes without saying; no one cares what they were doing in the game; thats exactly why I responded to you initially the way I did; its called sarcasm and its not that hard to follow; again you need to reread the thread; I know exactly why Im responding the way I am; you dont know, but you would if you would read....

I am fucking with him

He won that rookie of the month for those big games he had to start the month and the fact this rookie class is kinda weak

I like him I just don't like his ceiling I want him to remain a Mav for the foreseeable future tho

Nah fam... Cavs didn't really lose that Boston game, they just used it as an extended practice session to let D Will learn the plays :cool:

Stop being passive aggressive. You know damn well you don't like the Cavs. It is clear in every post you make.

I don't hate the Cavs. That's the funny part.
I got no problem with them until we play each other then I want them to lose.
The passes I worry about is because it ain't being shown MY WAY
That's all I'm ever worried bout me and mines let everyone else extrapolate whatever they want to.
 
Man stfu... Cavs were out there with the C team.. Bron said fuck Mickey and Pat nem.. They play again next week.. Put you kids college fund on the Cavs .
I don't think LeBron played one game in Miami ever since they booed him there a few years back, its almost like he said yall don't respect what I did over there cool, yall not going to get me at all then....
