The 2016/2017 NBA Season Thread

Congrats to Westbrook.

And yes the Cavs got problems. The rest of the East got a shot this year getting to the Finals.
 
eh I still think the CAVS still steamroll to the finals easily.

I'm usually at realgm / insidehoops / lakersground boards but I'm actually really excited for the playoffs and also the draft lottery.

That's just the Laker fan in you talking. My Celtics are going to give the Cavs a run for their money. Back in 2010 nobody gave them a chance and that was when the Celts were old and Lebron was still a spring chicken. How many Finals is the King going to go to in a row? Something's gotta give.
 
I need the Bulls to lose. I don't want to watch them one and done in the playoffs and not get a lottery pick.

Don't worry. Celts will make it quick and painless. 4-0 sweep!

If Rondo steals the show i'll be pissed though. Never thought i'd see the day i have to root against him.
 
Well if that ain't proof that the Celtics should have traded for Butler i don't know what is. Bulls, lol. Can barely beat the Nets but show up against the top teams.

Also, feel so bad for Thomas trying to focus on a game with his sister passing. :sad:

Yea, I feel real sorry for him. Celts got outscored by 16 pts when he was on the bench.
Geaux Wizards!
 
Just shows us like always just cause a team looks good in the regular season doesn't mean jack in the playoffs (Celtics). I'm sure the tragedy is also a factor too in their play.

Pacers have a shot at the Cavs and they are blowing it. Will any other team step up against them.

It's all good. Already knew the Warriors were winning the championship anyway. When you beat a team by 29 without Durant and the Splash Bros. have an off night you know it's a problem for the league.
 
Funny watching Westbrook ignoring his open teammates down the stretch so he can try and get his.
 
We are all witnesses to Lebron's genius. Blew the #1 seed on purpose to play the choke job Pacers instead of a veteran Bulls team in the first round. Poor George, he should team up with Westbrook in LA and shut people down.

Well Westbrook's teammates blew the lead when he was sitting on the bench after the 3rd quarter. OKC is a 1 team band member. Did you watch the game during the 4th? You could see Houston fans yelling at Westbrook to shoot it lol.

Yup. League outcome was known in July. Then again, we said that last year, and look what happened. But I think we know for sure this time. No way a team that stacked doesn't win the title.

All depends on which Durant shows up though. Cupcake or straight killer. He seems to relax when things are going good. I can see the Warriors going up 2-0 like last year and then Lebron takes the series over again. Lebron has owned Durant over the years.

I love the NBA playoffs, even though i already know who is going to win. Most predictable sport ever, but last year at least showed anything can happen even when you think you know what's going to happen. If Draymond doesn't kick anyone in the nuts though, i think the Warriors get it done, lol.
 
Cavs giving the series to the Pacers they just don't want it.

Bulls imploding, lol. Never thought i'd see the day that Bulls fans would see the value of Rondo. :laugh:

Don't worry Bulls nation. I miss the Rondo show too. For old times' sake.. Tune up the band!

 
lol bucks fans (you too Giannis if you're reading this...) are so dumb and clueless. Chanting "USA USA USA USA USA" against the Raptors when most of the players are Americans.
 
postaboy CP3 out in the first round again. Rondo had his team up 2-0 against a #1 seed before getting hurt. Nuff said.

Take that for data.
 
Straight beat down. When Rockets shots are falling they got a shot to even beat the Warriors. Of course these shots are not always going to fall. Expect the Spurs to turn it around next game.
