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

patty mills has not had a good game yet this season. he looks a little out of shape?

his improvement in conditioning some years back is what elevated him from glorified towel waver to legit bench spark plug, so this is a little concerning.

Didn’t he do this last war too? Pop called him out then he got back in shape iirc

yeah i think so. spurs 3pt shooting has been absent this year so far even though theyve got shooters

steven adams is overpowering KAT with ease

kat is str8 baby thighs

i've been wondering, is kat possibly a little.....soft?

it's def a bad matchup for him and exposes a, er, weakness

not to pile on but Paul George been trash tonight. 1st game I've seen him in this year.

maybe i was a year early on the orlando magic theory

Woe yeah KAT really got exposed tonight only 33 and 19 with super clutch 3s down the stretch, we should trade him for future Hall of Famer Steven Adams

Draymond and Beal just ejected for tussling.

just got to the fight. of course draymonds jersey got completely shredded. these things are made of paper.

draymond shouldnt have been ejected imo.

also looked like Oubre threw some punches?

Yeah, I was surprised he got away with that.

weird fight first first beal reaches around drays head to grab his mouth then dray tries to squeeze beal to death

gotta be so hard not to throw a punch its the natural tendency. squeezing seems like a good alternative

league is gonna have a fun time reviewing that scrum def looks like oubre threw some punches but only hit wall lol

oh no wait im seeing a different angle he def hit klay too

id say oubre def gets suspended and prob beal too

someones gotta do a deep investigation on how that jersey material made it to production did nike not realize basketball is a physical sport

Kevon Looney had 3 dunks in the 4th and looks like an actual NBA player. dropped a bunch of weight. even had a nice up and under in the 3rd.

two classic dubs comebacks in a row.

yeah those jerseys are legit just like 6 ply toilet paper

oubre 3 games, beal maybe 1

warriors still on vacation lol

Steve Kerr said the team forgot five plays after coming out of a timeout tonight.

yea first few weeks are def training camp for them. fair enough.

theres really no reason for them to try until like may

they’ve been pretty spicy so far this season

Woe yeah KAT really got exposed tonight only 33 and 19 with super clutch 3s down the stretch, we should trade him for future Hall of Famer Steven Adams

nobody said Adams was better than KAT, stop being asinine dude

he's not a good defender and can be overpowered by big 5s

theres no reason kat shdnt be able to defend hes got all the tools he just seems........soft

thread

Karl Anthony Towns defense thread- I have no idea what he's doing here. Is he scared of contact? pic.twitter.com/gE1XjUhiIR

Uhhhhhhhh

if you can't play your best possible D with Thibs yelling at you and Butler reinforcing that, there's no hope. still early in the season, he has time.

yeah and hes young, its weird tho

theres no reason kat shdnt be able to defend hes got all the tools he just seems........soft

but why

lack of focus maybe?

it almost seems like he lacks....hardness?

KAT will never have the same temperament and attitude as a KG or a Pat Beverly, but it seems a bit harsh to call him soft.

~~~~drifts off into dream ~~~~~~~~
years from now KAT walks up to the podium to finish his life's dream.... after a classy, gracious speech in which he thanks his family, God, Thibs, the coach who spurred him on to four NBA titles and three MVP awards, the late Flip Saunders...he paused... his eyes welling up..."You know there's one person I haven't thanked... one person who helped me on my journey in so many ways...KAT pauses again, clearly moved..... that's upper mississippi sh@kedown... when there were so many doubters on ilh, calling me soft, questioning my commitment to defense...he never stopped believing.....(sobs pointing into the crowd) he's right here.... stand up man....yeah.... this one's for you, dog.... this one's for you......

I do feel like Wiggins and him both get judged on the fact they don't necessarily mug and make big angry man gestures after they do something big on the court

hot take: they are the first post-Drake NBA stars

:-|

no m@tt nooooooo

dream sequence was funny tho

if post drake means very bad at defense!!!!

at least kat rebounds wiggins is just a non entity on one side of the ball (the defense side)

lmao at management making wiggins promise to get better at basketball before they maxed him out, alltime telling on yrself
