2017-18 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD PART 1 ALL OF AMERICAS FAVORITE TEAMS ARE BACK

btw lonzo was +13 last night and wall was -14

-100 meaningful

pellies and kings is the late TNT game tonight lol what

xp yeah just saying :)

i saw a really weird +/- outlier last night I think it was reddick

even the most dire hard +/- supporters are all you have to adjust it and then its still a lil noisy FROM SEASON TO SEASON

I enjoy it as a purely retrospective stat like the WPA stats in baseball

lonzo also jumps very forward with straight, stiff legs which makes his shot look like Double Dribble

I don’t think ball will ever be a good shooter. There’s just too much going on there. I think he’ll figure out how to shoot wide open shots like Kidd did tho.

kyrie thought the court was the actual old court not just painted to resemble it lmfao

In case you need to tell someone…tonight’s #ReturntotheMECCA court is a brand new floor.

xp urban legend debunked by the very larry bird himself + others fwiw

what bird said iirc was that he had no idea where the dead spots were

kyrie is an airhead

i really thought he was joking abt the flat earth but now im not sure

the bigger impediment to changing lonzo's shooting form is not whether he's playing or not, it's lavar

Yeah I think we can assume Kyrie was serious about flat earth now

lonzo really needs to cut him out of his professional life, already cost him $10m on that shoe bs

the bigger impediment to changing lonzo's shooting form is not whether he's playing or not, it's lavar

imo kyrie was more "asking tough questions" abt flat earth than a true believer

homer

lol

seeing a lot of brogdon for bledsoe chatter out there.

seems p reasonable

would probably have to throw in henson to make the numbers work? idk

henson or teletovic would make it work i think

brogdon just seems like the ideal stable teammate.

hes def very solid and on a cheap deal, i cld see the bucks not wanting to do it, but they also need some better players

if they cld get rid of one of delly teletovic or henson in the process that wld be good for them too

the suns dont need to be taking on the henson deal tho. they already have a henson in alex len

henson has three years left, like what does that guy even do?

not much

hes def very solid and on a cheap deal, i cld see the bucks not wanting to do it, but they also need some better players

they've got to be leery about his knees too since they've got Jabari and his knees employed already

brogdon on a rookie deal for bledose at $16m per year doesn't seem like a trade a smart nba team (the bucks) would make nowadays

its good if they can offload one of those deals mentioned above

yeah

yeah but what exactly are the bucks gonna do w/ the money, the only FAs they have been able to get recently are guys on bad deals. maybe that will change w/ giannis but idk.

"While Brogdon is only a second-year player, he is going to be turning 25 years old, so the Suns actually have 11 younger players on their roster." heh

well theyre gonna have to either extend bledsoe after this year or extend brogdon

http://hoopshype.com/salaries/milwaukee_bucks/

and they have to make a decision on Jabari

also brogdon is a much better fit anyway, if the ball is gonna be in giannis hands whenever he's on the floor -- not to mention jabari and middleton -- they're more in need of a guard who can make open threes

and bledsoe can't really shoot

below average def

phoenix wld prob rather see monroe thrown in that deal than either of those other guys since his contract is expiring

true but monroe can help them win this year and they seem to want to win now

also brogdon is a much better fit anyway, if the ball is gonna be in giannis hands whenever he's on the floor -- not to mention jabari and middleton -- they're more in need of a guard who can make open threes

middleton isnt really a playmaker, jabari is a huge question mark, they cld use a second ballhandler plus bledsoe is a good defender and can score some too, i think hed be a good fit, hes just a much more dynamic player than brogdon who does some good stuff but is a pure role player

for all his talents giving the ball to giannis and watching will only take u so far, u need some other guys who can do things

bucks court/unis look sweet

Is this Poeltl guy good maybe

Yea its good

Is this Poeltl guy good maybe
