2015-16 NBA Regular Season (part 1) — I’ve got my ring fitted for my middle finger

these are the sixth seed spurs who lost in the first round that we are talking about right

Yes, the team that was one win away from the 2 seed that added a perennial all star, that one

theres no way the pels will win enough games to get the brow mvp.

feel like a. there is a growing recognition that this is a silly way to go about things b. he might just be enough better than everyone else to overcome this prejudice c. nola actually has a p decent team + a major coaching upgrade (tho they r p banged up right now)

okay guys season commences and so does my hand-wringing about cavs injuries this year

also fu lagoon now we have to see olynyk's goofy-ass face every time this thread opens wtf dude

Don't forget league pass will be free for the first week of the season.

and thanks for the heads-up spottie

pelicans are extremely banged up--starting the season with third-string C, they just signed ish smith b/c tyreke and norris cole are out and jrue holiday is on 15-minute restriction for the next few months. it is entirely the davis/anderson show for a while.

a healthy new orleans is no joke imo but idk if it's gonna happen this season

also fu lagoon now we have to see olynyk's goofy-ass face every time this thread opens wtf dude

no formal predix but in the west i like the clips rockets and warriors more than the spurs or thunder due to depth. could be clips year tbh.

boston #2 in the east!

via pelton

really weird that they decided to kick off the season on the same night as game 1 of the world series imo

ws descision prob made later

you would think manfried and silver would have each other's numbers to coordinate it tho

NBA always dgaf til xmas anyway tho lol

omg kev

the NBA i mean! i def gaf

just in terms of the number of primetime and weekend games on TV. obv real heads that tream care about the whole season

ok phew

it funny cause the beginning of the season is actually much better than the early winter believe we have discussed this

ooh idk about that, early season always the lowest scoring while offenses figure stuff out iirc

it's good if you like to watch disasters

beginning of the season is fresh teams r excited to play theyre figuring stuff out etc weird shit happens players make the leap mid season is just a slog injuries boredom etc take their toll then around the allstar break it heats up again

energy level def higher first two weeks of nov than jan

also there are fewer dudes with season ending injuries by that point

yup

i mean the quality of play is not great but its more fun than the mid season doldrums imo

also fun to watch new dudes on their new teams. and rookies running around getting yelled at. new coaches expressions etc.

yeaaa

do the pelicans even have 5 guys that can play tonight? or is it just brow vs champs?

steph v brow 1on1

would watch

grantland wtf the world series and the nba start today and they have a soccer story in their main window gtfo

lol

pelis have no choice but to give significant minutes to nate robinson given jrue's minutes limit and cole still being out (i think), love it

brow-nate is an excellent odd couple

nate is old now :(

ya prob cooked

lil guys go downhill fast

honestly doc trading lance and a first for jeff green has made this entire deadline worthwhile

surprised the raptors didnt make a move to upgrade at the 4 guess masai has his eye on the long term i guess, wldve been fun to see them upset cleve tho

haha yes. didn't the celtics get a pick(s) for Doc too? ainge is that dude

xp

yup lol

Bobby Marks
@BobbyMarks42
There is a possibility that the Memphis will not get the Clipper pick until 2021. Year will be based off the year Toronto receives LAC 1st.

some of these picks arent even real

magical realism nba draft

z. lowe has talked about how derozan will never be any better than this and their window is now

is there a limit to how many picks a team can trade other than the consecutive years thing

masai should probably focus on winning a playoff series or he might find himself without a job next season. team as constructed shd be capable of this but the way they got demoralized by DC last yr leaves questions

Xps

someone is going to pay derozan more than he's worth next year, hopefully a team i don't like such as the lakers

is there a limit to how many picks a team can trade other than the consecutive years thing

i think u cn only trade them like 5 years out? clippers may have gotten around this by having like cascading protections on picks

oh hey there are basketball games again tonight

@SHowardCooper
Jeff Green has been a Doc Rivers favorite for many years. Doc told me Green is one of the best NBA people to ever walk the Earth.

I ... needed the big trade. My friends. I am... so weak

a real character guy great locker room presence, does two dunks a year that make u think he cld be good at basketball if he had a different personality

im sorry clay the world is a ball of shit

... cough ...

Green will go on these two-three week stretches where he's great then just falls off a cliff

i have seen him do some amazing basketball things def its not hard to understand why ppl keep believing in him

p sure im on record as believing in him w/in the last year on this message board, was prob drunk tho

btw someone should kick off thread 2

yeah it's time

wait why do the raptors have a clippers first rounder again
