2017-18 NBA regular season thread

[HisIceness]

Looking forward to seeing DeMarcus Cousins return to Sacramento. Might be the only time I watch Sacramento play all season.

The funny thing is hearing people interviewed before they meet/play Lonzo, and then after. John Wall after the game seemed to realize and acknowledge that Lonzo is nothing like his dad. His tone made it sound like he felt bad for him lol, but commended him for doing his own thing quietly.

 

[Virtanen18]

All these Zach Randolph minutes making my brain hurt. Skal comes in hot and then sits for ages. Not liking Joerger's rotations in this one.

 

[Virtanen18]

I hope Cousins puts up 60 on the Kings tomorrow.

It was close - 41. Absolutely dominant. Don't even care what Shaq and Chuck have to say about him. 3/5 from downtown with 41 points in a Win and they'll probably still be crying that he wasn't in the post more.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Cousins was dominant, especially in crunch time.

41/23/6 lmfao.

While Dave just plants Buddy's ass on the bench. Sigh

Lmao he absolutely terrorized them and I couldn't be happier. The Kings organization deserved every bit of that from Cousins.

Bulls got their first win against Atlanta last night. Markkanen with double-double 14 pts, 13 rebounds. Whole trade could be huge robbery for Bulls if LaVine also success.

Boogie tortured the Kings.

Blake Griffin with his second career game-winning 3

Wall never had any sort of beef against Lonzo...

Lol you'll still never have the best player in the deal.

Nobody said anything about Wall having beef against Lonzo. It's indirectly towards him through Lavar, but after playing against him players seem to change their tune.

Minny beats OKC for the 2nd time in a week.

Is Orlando actually going to make the playoffs in this wide open in the 6-7-8 spots Eastern Conference? They destroyed the Spurs tonight and are now 4-1.

Yup, father and son couldn't be any more different.

I'm a Lakers fan, and because of the father, I didn't want the Lakers to draft him. I hope Lonzo proves to be a good point guard in the future though.

Boston/Toronto/Cleveland/Washington.

Detroit and Milwaukee look like playoff teams. Especially Milwaukee. That's 6.

Charlotte and Miami will be thereabouts. No reason why Orlando can't hang with them. #8 seed probably makes it with sub .500 record.

"Scuffle started with Draymond's elbow"

I feel shocked.

"Scuffle started with Draymond's elbow"

I feel shocked.

Really wasn’t much of an elbow. More of a nudge. I would say Beal was more the instigator of that. And the Wizards couldn’t afford to lose him.

 

[Virtanen18]

Otto's got to be the one taking that 3 at the end there.

 

[Asiantuntija]

I'm not saying Markkanen will be better than Butler, but i won't also write that off. His start has been absolutely incredible, if we look at the fact he is fresh man from college. If Dunn & LaVine reaches their potential and can became solid starters in future, then it was more than excellent trade. 3 Solid Starters > Superstar

 

[Jack Straw]

Sounds like there was a lot of trash talking and Beal let it get to him. He has to be smarter than that.

I am so done with Wall's 4th quarter antics this season. We should be 5-0 right now.

Meh. Depends on the team. Probably better for the Bulls to have 3 solid young starters. But better for TWolves to have the star.

Headlines said there was big fight in NBA

All I saw was two guys hugging each other

 

[Virtanen18]

Boogie just f***ed around and got a triple double.
