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

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

he looked legit last night. slippery as hell, had like 11 offensive rebounds or something. soft touch too.

don't think i've seen any player successfully pump fake yet this season without getting called for travelling

giannis just tried to end the life of aaron baynes.

giannis went for the Chaos Dunk

kyrie looks better just attacking

they letting giannis run over celtics out there!

is it cosplay this close to halloween i'm just asking questions here

costumes of fictional characters are cosplay even if they're for halloween i feel very strongly about this

only if youre horny for them

pr sure all cosplay is rooted at the very least vaguely horny

its def all insanely horny, if youre just all uhh i dressed up as batman for halloween thats not cosplay, if u do the christian bale voice all night and recite a bunch of lines from memory thats extremely horny and therefor cosplay

hm starting to think a lot of ppl i knew in college were a lot hornier for hunter thompson than i previously realized

prob 35% of all undergraduate males want to bone hunter thompson

Marc Gasol is humiliating Nerlens

this court is pretty cool and I am in favor of any and all nba psychedelia but it’s a lil tough on the eyes

Did Marc get that Kobe

horford balling out this season hes the only thing keeping the celtics together at this point, all the other pieces are going in different directions

he utterly ruined kristaps with his defense the other night, it was a lot of fun.

That hardwood paroxysm guy deleted all his tweets mocking the Rozier pick

lmao good attention to detail

yeah al shut zinger down just got under him all night

a good nickname for giannis wld be uncle tokounmpo

Another nice game from Markkanen, it’s impressive that he’s already a good rebounder

hes a nice big boy

giannis just got into the lane and all five celtics collapsed, the buck hit a three

it's extremely weird that tony snell is a useful player again

I think markennen started the game 0-8

kyrie and al are in tune with each other tonight it's good

otm loving that chemistry

yeah feels good

kyrie starting to get in the flow still too much iso, holding the ball tho

i'm still getting a feel for kyrie's game and trying to figure out how much of it is getting deep into the clock so he can do weird crafty bullshit.

not so sure about smart’s shot selection there

i did not think the c's had this one back in the 3rd, great execution down the stretch and a couple of marcus smart winning player(tm) plays for those of us who track those

giannis line in a game where he looked largely contained for the majority of it: 28-10-7. normal player

yeah hes gonna put up some numbers this year, most unstoppable fast break player since bron

I think he had 2-0-0-0-0 in the first 10 minutes xp

I feel like I haven’t seen the blazers run a play for nurkic all year

beginning to think hoodie melo was a devious viral marketing campaign, all the teams are wearing these hooded nike warmups

i'm still getting a feel for kyrie's game and trying to figure out how much of it is getting deep into the clock so he can do weird crafty bullshit.

Same I used to think it was just what happened when bron would occasionally do that thing he does when he uses about half a shot clock and then kind of desultorily dumps it off to the second banana and backs up a few steps and just checks out of the play (he would do it to wade sometimes too)

But now I kind of think it's kyrie playing a mind game because he knows he can make impossible shit happen in three seconds and he's just going to maximize the time available for his man to make a mistake
