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

Hill has fallen off a cliff this year. Z bo and Vince shoulda been ring chasing. Hield hasn’t really played well.

i don't think zbo suddenly became toxic or anything, but he shouldn't be starting and should have a defined off the bench role.

imo, Hield is headed for a 'second guy off the bench' sort of career.

zbo is cooked rip

Jokic did some things tonight. G Harris has 6 steals.

ben simmons moves insanely good

Omg Ben Simmons just switching with ease pic.twitter.com/DtSbIMt3e3

7 foot mfr just gliding around out there wtf

good win for the 76ers. beat the jazz on the road w no embiid. Saric finally had a good game.

simmons def crazy good

requested tix to the philly game in late december the other day

an absolute must-see team for me

they def have some guys doin some stuff

reddick was a really smart signing. theyre always gonna need snipers like him around to keep the lanes open for simmons to work

ben simmons is dazzling

xp yeah the reddick signing was something, even though obv the sixers aren't where the warriors were at the time, it kinda reminds me of the igoudala signing in the sense that they both kinda "chose" these teams that were emerging from poopage

like, it's a sign that the sixers are 'beyond' "the process" if they can sign guys like jj reddick

yeah and only a one year deal so super low risk. doesnt screw them over longterm

the OKC offense looks like pickup ball

melo is such a bad fit for them

put melo on memphis or something

melo is a bad fit for everyone

there's some places i think he'd work out pr well but not at the albatross pricetag

exactly

the Jokics!

Just found out why @JokicNikola15 had a career night-family! Dad and mom in from Serbia 🇷🇸 brothers, and girlfriend 😎 no wonder he got 41 👋 pic.twitter.com/UzJPWVq4Wu

lol this game is ugggly

This was the case last year and I guess every year with Westbrook but it is amazing how many times per game the Thunder do something that is just unacceptably bad from a percentage standpoint. Things you wouldn’t see any other team do.

I saw Westbrook dribble down and take a pull-up three with 4 opponents back on defense and no teammates. What can you say to that?

its embarrassing

that whiteside game last night was something
https://sports.yahoo.com/miami-heat-vets-counsel-hassan-whiteside-benching-005713987.html

Blazers lost I believe their fourth one possession game of the season

I don’t like Hassan whiteside and I’m sure he brings this on himself but I can’t shake the idea that the Heat are micromanaging him and making him crazier

He doesn't even seem to know what he's doing in a programmatic sense on defense but he's smartly just zipping around and keeping his hands way up which just creates chaos

He's kind of an offensive savant too. Was fully prepared for him to be a bustorama but he's a treat

Fully prepared for him and Tatum to be the best small forwards in the east at least within a couple years

right, perhaps i thought the mix of intriguing youth and steadying veterans would lead to a respectable but not great team. in actuality each of these players individually kind of sucks.

Yeah I hated all of their moves, they needed like two vets to shore up the young guys while they look for a couple of career prime guys and instead they bought like almost a whole 35-win team worth of virtually washed up dudes and slathered it on top of some iffy young talent

Felt very Vivek-y and I could totally believe he went after melo to "contend now"

“Jokic says that he still talks to Jameer and Mike Miller almost every day. He says he’s also really close to Wilson but Wilson doesn’t talk.”

Ricky Rubio is taking 5 threes per game for some reason

al horford is out w a concussion, missed bunch of games w one last year

i forgot about caldwell-pope being a celtics killer

randle and ingram have been the best lakers tonight

C's look tired leaving all those shots short

I'm not sure Marcus smart gets tired though

Lakers collected some funny randos this year, Corey brewer

ingram is fun to watch

survival mode for the celtics without horford and tatum. i want to find aron baynes and buy him a beer. he played huge on both ends.

lonzo 4-15, i get how he got to that many attempts but minutes go by where he doesn't really do anything.

the good team "boston celtics" has won 10 games in a row

lonzo continues his mastery of the triple-single

per doris kyrie's dad wouldn't do an interview b/c he wants to stay in the background--respect to that guy.

btw can experienced cavs watchers help me with something--did kyrie play much 2-man game with a big guy in cleveland? he seems born to do it. he was wrecking shit playing with horford and tonight he basically went to baynes and was like "you're the guy" and baynes got a career high.

kyrie never really had a reliable big guy to do that with in the cleve, no? love is a shitty screen guy and prefers to pop rather than roll which isn't helpful for the spacing kyrie needs to do his thing
