Official NBA 2017-2018 Thread - Final day of the regular with playoff seating still unknown

athletes use that stuff as motivation they didn't even give up a pick to get him just some cash. so the bulls didn't even think he was worth anything towards the future.
that'd be enough as an athlete who thinks highly of themselves to want to prove them wrong.


You know the dubs are petty they started dude against the bulls...

Even tho injuries was the underlying reason but that ain't cool to speak about :lol:

The crime is that Bell had been inactive for a week,
Tell me why a cat that can do that is inactive? It doesn't make any got damn sense.
you start draymond then you take draymond out and put him in. that should be every game.

Well u know how yalls coach do, man sometimes I think about it, if I told wasn't for the greatest of Cheatcode y'all probably wouldn't be the Dubs if he was anything lesser....

Kerr be tripping
 
Jokic scores 28 to help Nuggets beat Grizzlies
Nikolai Jokic notches a double-double as the Nuggets beat the Grizzlies, 104-92.


 
Cavs edge Hornets, win seventh straight

LeBron James records a triple-double of 27 points, 16 rebounds and 13 assists as Cleveland tops Charlotte 100-99.




People gassed on Cleveland, and while it's DEFINITELY a great look they are winning games now, needed yeoman efforts from LeBron every night just to eek out wins is not a good look. Not really impressed at all with them still, need to see the DOMINATE teams more, and not be in dog fights with every team they play. Hornets aren't that type of team, neither are some of the other teams that have taken them down to the wire. If LeBron slows down just a lil bit, or gets hampered by a minor nagging injury or some shit they might be in trouble...

That's true I think Lue is finding what this team is made of outside of Lebron...
Wade seem to be getting comfortable....my only problem is Lue not playing Osman more....

He's that youthful energy that they seem to lack at times....but they're one of the oldest teams in the leagues so they ain't gonna jump out and blues teams but running up and down the court to start off...

They know if they get down huge they could just grind at the margin and hopefully have a chance in the end...

Don't forget they missing four players from the top 10 rotation

Shumpert
Thompson
Rose
Thomas
 
Bulls giving up Bell for cash... dumb ass niggas :lol:

The only ones I respect in terms of on court play on this list Thomas and every 3 games Thompson. Rose, unfortunately is going to give them nothing for any sustained period of time and Shumpert IMO is trash as it relates to contributing to a championship team... I think Green, and Williams should be getting more burn tho...
 
No joke. What I saw with Minny, Lavine could be your James Harden

Fam you seen Fred Hoeberg another Iowa State reject like Tim Floyd. When we had Thibbs, Mirotic was making gains as a player and once he left Mirotic regressed. Same thing with Tony Snell, under Thibbs he showed promise. Then some dumb asses in the front office thought Josh McDermott:puke: had more potential than Snell:smh:. Bulls trade Snell for M.C.W.(who is in Charlotte now because he could not be developed here either). What happens, Snell goes to the Bucks and gets minutes because Jabari Parker and Chris Middleton were both injured and he flourishes and gets a new contract. So I have no confidence that Hoeberg will develop Lavine.

Man Shumpert did his part, just last yr his shot was broke towards and he didn't get to play as much...

I seen you say this name a few times Williams, who's you talking bout?
 
Stephenson provides big buckets to fuel Pacers' win
Lance Stephenson scores 18 points, including going perfect from 3-point land to give Indiana the 107-104 win over Toronto.



Indiana has done a lot better than I expected this year

Damn. I could argue McDermott is playing as good as Snell this season tho.

Lakers’ obsession with D’Angelo Russell ... Do they protest too much?

Magic Johnson dissed him after trading him to the Nets. All-star talent but not a leader like Lonzo Ball, he said ... unsolicited .

A few weeks before that, Bryon Scott, in an interview pushing his memoirs, trashed his work ethic as a teen-ager (after ostracizing him following the Nick Young Snapchat incident). Writers who covered the Lakers called him self-aggrandizing and worse after he left.

He is, of course, D’Angelo Russell and the Lakers’ obsession with him apparently continues and knows no bounds, seven months after he last played for them.

Here’s the latest. It’s a Facebook video of a Laker shootaround where assistant (and failed Nuggets head coach) Brian Shaw bad mouthing DLo to his former Magic teammate Dennis Scott.

Shaw didn’t realize he was still being recorded. A Laker fan on Reddit spotted it and recorded the video before the NBA took it down.


Unfortunate for Shaw. The back-and-forth went like this...

Scott: “It looks like they work, though, huh?”

Shaw: “Yeah, they do. They do. You know, like last year, we had D’Angelo. He was just bulls***ing all the time and didn’t put it in.”

Later, after a mumbled exchange, Scott can be heard saying, “Somebody didn’t do their homework.” Could that “somebody” dissed by Shaw and Scott be Sean Marks? (Like he cares.) It’s hard to tell, but one thing is certain. There is an east coast/west coast divide on Russell, who is after all averaging career highs in points (20.9) and assists (5.7) for Brooklyn.

The general manager and coach of the team that traded for Russell have repeatedly and on the record pronounced themselves big fans of the 21-year-old

As Ben Rohrbach wrote this week...

Russell failed the Lakers no more than they failed him, so maybe it’s time for the L.A. front office and coaching staff to stop bashing him publicly and privately.

Brian Lewis, picking up on Rohrbach, noted the same thing Saturday...

D’Angelo Russell hasn’t played a game for the Lakers since last April and is 3,000 miles away in Brooklyn, but his former team is still throwing shade at the 21-year-old guard.

Russell’s return from knee surgery still isn’t set. He did attend a college game at Barclays this weekend. No knee brace visible. And he’s on the Nets team plane as they make their way from Memphis to Houston to Dallas.

No doubt he’ll be long back by February 2, when the Lakers come to Brooklyn. Should be fun.
