2017-18 NBA regular season thread

It seems to me that whoever came up with the idea of these Wizards jerseys with white numbers on white jerseys didn’t really think it through enough.

LeBron isn't coming to Los Angeles so the Lakers would be idiots to renounce Julius Randle and allow him to become a UFA. Continue building with Randle/Ingram/Ball/Kuzma/etc. Granted, I'm still skeptical, very skeptical of both Ingram and Ball but I don't want them to lose Randle only to end up whiffing on both LeBron and George.

Lakers are his most likely destination aside from CLE IMO. We saw signs last summer that sure made it seem like he was preparing/doing his due diligence.

Rockets would be nice but unless CP3 and LeBron play for mid level exceptions they aren't signing him.

I don't think they will renounce Randle until they have a confirmation from LBJ or PG.

Honestly if I were the Lakers, I’d sign someone like Avery Bradley and a good C. I hate the Lakers but they would be scary with a starting 5 of Ball-Bradley-Ingram-Kuzma-good C and Randle coming off the bench.

The only good C who may be available is Cousins, and hes coming off a scary injury.

 

[Terry Yake]

cousins would have been my #1 FA priority for the lakers had he not suffered the torn ACL

no way they should take a chance on him after that

19 straight losses for the Grizzlies.

Just an amazing tank. Sam Hinkie would be proud.

Blazers win 11 in a row!

And just like that they are 3rd in WC.

Yeah, they’re a good defensive team that could cause fits (I hope).

Lebron was hyping up Dame before the game today too.

“Give me Dame Lillard, I’ll show you how appreciated he’d be”

Nice comeback game for Exum.

LeBron to Portland; E5

Another loss for the Cavs last night, saw the other day they're now 4th in the East and may draw Washington in Round 1. Would be a tough match there for sure.

 

[Stylizer1]

Not watching the game but from the stat lines VanFleet and DeRozan are dumping some funk right now. Vally is keeping them in there.

 

[Stylizer1]

Raps pull it out.

 

[darko]

Watching the highlights of Clips/OKC game. Clippers jerseys look like OKC's. OKC jerseys look like crap.

23-47 Kings beat the 52-17 Warriors both games in their barn this year. Crazy.

Doing their part in helping the Rockets clinch home court advantage. Raptors and Warriors now have identical records.

The Kings are a weird team this year. There are games where they look like a great team and games where they look like a high school team right after tryouts.

That will be a fun series.

The inconsistencies of a young team. Glad they finally decided to go full rebuild instead of half-assing it. They'll be good in 3 years.

I don’t know if they’ll be good. I feel like Fox will be a good point guard, Hield will be a good scoring option, but other then that I don’t see much. I feel like WCS will be a poor mans Deandre Jordan

Former NBA player news here

Former NBA player Glen 'Big Baby' Davis reportedly arrested on drug charges in Maryland

According to Brian Kuebler of ABC2 WMAR Baltimore, police arrested Davis Feb. 7 at a Hampton Inn in Aberdeen. Police allegedly found 126 grams of marijuana and a briefcase containing $92,164. Aberdeen Police Lieutenant William Reiber told ABC2 the briefcase also had a ledger "that contained language which is consistent with someone involved in the sale and distribution of narcotics."

What is Big3 league he is supposed to be joining?

Fox/Hield/Bogdanovic/Jackson is a good group. They'll get another high pick and hoping they can snag someone like MB3.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Grizzlies end the streak at 19!

Pathetic loss by the Nuggets considering the stakes. Hard to see them getting in now. Especially with SA righting their ship.

 

[Stylizer1]

GS is on cruise control for the rest of the season rest their starters. After all the crying from the media last season about how bad the competition was league this is their opportunity to lower expectations then steamroll everybody..

They will supposedly make a run at Hezonja in FA.

Should get plenty of PT and that'll stop all your whinging
