Official NBA 2016-2017 Thread - 30 teams, 1 goal. 2 weeks left, so much can happen!!
Real stupid shit right here....
Man when they played the Cavs dude looked like he started his layoff at the 3pt line , dude was looking like Corey brewer
Is it though?
Very because it doesn't solve the issue; players health and wear and tear; starting the season a week early or cutting out 1 backto back doesn't do that; they need to get rid of back to backs altogether and shorten the season; anything else is pacifying the situation; which is stupid....
The NBA is working towards reducing the issues players address, just might take a minute to fully conquer every problem
Shorten the season? The players will look pussy. The public backlash from former players and other leagues would be crazy.
Yep but it's a lot different now then it was back in the day
Nah no they wouldn't; it's more money involved and they play 2 many games as it is; what other leagues would say?
They not working to address the real issue because then it equatesto owners losing money, or so they say.....
Cavaliers lose Chris Andersen for season with torn ACL
8:45 PM
Cavaliers center Chris Andersen tore his right ACL in practice Friday and will require season-ending surgery, the team announced.
Andersen suffered a noncontact injury, and an MRI confirmed the tear, the Cavs said.
Andersen is the team's third-string center, but the Cavs used him when their opponents went with bigger lineups, because backup centerChanning Frye is undersized during some games.
With Andersen out, the Cavs are down to just 13 healthy players and three traditional big men: Frye, Tristan Thompson and Kevin Love.
Mo Williams to clear his salary off the books. Williams had knee surgery before the season and did not report to camp, but he is still on the team's roster.
The Cavs, who have the league's highest payroll, will have the same problem with Andersen, who has a guaranteed contract.
Cutting Andersen to open a roster spot would cost the team roughly $4 million in luxury taxes alone, and a new player could potentially add another $4 million in salary and tax.
Andersen played in 12 games this season, averaging 2.3 points and 2.6 rebounds.

Lakeshow finally got a win.
NBA players already look pussy in some circles. Especially to players in leagues such as the NFL. It's been like that forever. It's a non contact sport. That comes with the territory.
MLB plays 160+. Hockey 82. Where's the outcry to shorten those seasons? Hockey is a much more violent sport. Niggas losing teeth over there. Basketball is demanding but compared to other sports, it's pretty tame. Again not saying the NBA season and playoffs are not taxing on the body but relatively speaking it's one of the better sports to be in when it comes to health.
Mlb isn't comparable at all; and there has been a lot of talk about shortening hockey season;and who cares what the nfl thinks; them fools have the weakest union in professional sports and need to worry about getting that fixed before they say anything about another sport; and it's not a non contact sport;whomever thinks that has never played bball;it's not a collision sport like football but that doesn't mean it's non contact......
How many games you think the players should play? 60?
Last night at halftime of the sixers game A.I. spoke on players missing games.
Full speech
The NBA just needs to start the season a week earlier and end it a week later
but damn man, NBA players look soft as shit now. Back in the day didn't they do buses? and then they went to flying commercial. Now dudes fly private and stay in 5 star hotels and the season is still too grueling?
It's telling when players who just retired like Chauncey and TMac are going what the fuck

I think all teams should play each other twice and thats it; I think that makes it 60 games right; No need for back to back; they could keep the schedule length like it is; not that many games on so ratings would go up; the NBA could own certain nights like Monday Tuesday or Wednesday; Hell if they did it right, they could own the week, once football was over; players would be fresher so quality of game play would go up; ticket prices would go up because that team is only in town once; Tickets would be harder to get; people will pay more attention to games; People would gamble more because of less games, and easier to follow; Which would cause more people to watch; I think the regular season would be that much more important because of less games; Regular season would be more intense, etc etc etc........The main reason why the NFL has its ratings is because of the amount of games it plays and because of gambling; The NBA could put itself in that same stratosphere with less games......
They better pray Love doesnt get hurt....
Naw TT would be a huge blow
16. Like the NFL....
16. Like the NFL....
I dont think they would win, but would have a hard time beating Toronto without Love; he kills them every time; TT would be an issue against the West though; Either 1 goes down they gonna be feeling the blues...
16. Like the NFL....
Sixers would we winless every year though fam.....

D'Antoni would find another HOF point guard in Harden?
Hell who would have thought he would have another head coaching job
and actually be successful
and get the Beard to actually play some type of defense and get rebounds?!?!?

This is both amazing & saddening to be putting up them kind of numbers & have them wasted more often than successful
