2017-18 NBA regular season thread

[HisIceness]

As a Hurricanes fan I'm used to this sort of thing. At least the 'Canes have a Cup and could be a contender again one day. New owner and better chance at making a Nashville-like run because thats how the NHL is.

I'm convinced the Hornets are going to be stuck in a never-ending Basketball hell until the end of time.

Tweet is a couple of weeks old but their stats are still around the same they were then.

Speaking of Oladipo he went nuts tonight. Dropped 20 in 3rd.

Yea, its honestly great to see him blossom. I liked him on OKC last year but he never really fit in. I knew he had this kind of play in him.

 

[Virtanen18]

Always been a fan of Oladipo. It's too bad he didn't ball out like this for OKC last year.

Chris Paul joining the Rockets has been f***ing awesome to watch.

10-0 with CP and Harden.

 

[Asiantuntija]

Porzingis got schooled by Markkanen last night. Markkanen totally shut him down at first quarter. Porzingis was really trash and absolutely ruined the game. He scored 22 pts, but it was absolutely trash performance. He didn't play defense & Markkanen forced him to stupid contested shots. I was really surprised how low his vision is for the game.

It's f***ing ridiculous how Harden manages to get better every season. I wonder what narrative will cost him a 3rd straight MVP this year.

so westbrook shouldn't have won the MVP last season after averaging a triple double?

Nope. A guy whose entire team's purpose was to enable him in a quest for personal glory - by blatantly going out of their way to leave him balls so that he could rack up rebound numbers - shouldn't have been handed the MVP trophy over Harden, and I'm no fan of his.

PS

Reminded me of shit Ricky Davis pulled once, the most embarrassing moment in NBA history, too bad Jerry didn't get to plant him on his ass.

10 is just a number. Harden was like 2 rebs away from doing the same thing,

What about Curry the two years prior? Like the one where he won it unanimously?

Side note - the Oladipo show is here

I've always liked Oladipo, always been a solid player, glad to see him doing so well with the Pacers.

I'm pretty sure that a 60+ year-old man wouldn't do anything physically with a 25-year old man who stands 6'7" just because of some petty stuff.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Bulls and Hornets up big on the Celts (without Kyrie) and OKC. Huh?

They won't last two weeks there.

No, no, no, no, no, no, don't start playing it off and go this route. You were actually advocating that Sloan would've kicked Davis' ass.

No, I wasn't. Dear God, Sloan said: "I'd plant him on his ass if I was a player". How hard is it to come to a logical conclusion from that? This place honestly puzzles the hell out of me with its inability to process even the simplest of logical deduction. But yeah, I was advocating an old man would beat up an athlete in his prime with my reference to what that old dude said.

What logic are you talking about? Lol, your post was so vague. I had no idea it was a direct quote from him. For that, I apologize. But stop pretending that your post didn't make it seem like you were suggesting something stupid because there was a hidden "logic" behind it.

This place puzzles the hell out of me with people replying with stupid ass memes to make themselves look petty instead of just simply explaining what they meant.

 

[Terry Yake]

neither liangelo or lamelo have what it takes to make the NBA

from what i've seen and heard, liangelo flat out sucks. lamelo will probably sniff the NBA, make a G-league roster while lavar tries to force him to the lakers but i think that's as far as he'll go

I agree. Liangelo is pretty unlikely but Lamelo has a shot.

This seems like a bad decision in prime development years - he’s far from a sure thing and still only 16.. Sitting on the bench in Europe doesn’t make a lot of sense.

It might be good for Lonzo to presumably have Lavar in Lithuania for a while, but he’ll probably make noise there as well.

Insert the Jaguars fan meme from Voight

The Euro step

Does anyone know which European player in the NBA actually uses that move?
