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

whats up w the heat? seems like they should be at least as good as they were last year.

well technically speaking they are... i know what you mean tho

they beat the celtics and then t wolves on the road this week so we'll see. today they just look hungover.

Whitsides numbers and usage seem down. Banged up maybe?

Also richArdsons offense has been horrendous

not a ton of talent on that roster but theyre tough and play real hard

he's been hurt yeah. there's also just something dwight howard-ish about him, in that he should just be a pure pick and roll player and rebounder but still demands post touches that are not very useful. he'll lose a lot of minutes to olynyk i think as the year goes on.

i'm a huge richardson fan but his offense is pretty much just shooting threes

That suns wolves score was the end of the 1st q not half btw

apparently the heat took the most corner 3s in one nba game over the last 2 years the other night vs minny (22) and they looked really good. they have these games where wayne ellington looks like ray allen and it everything kinda works

lol yeah xp i was feeling froggy

Yah Richardson is cool and a really good defender and I’m sure his percentages won’t stay in the gutter all season.

kris dunn really is an awesome defender

didnt comment on it during the spurs-hornets game last night, but kyle anderson's become a legit nba player this year in kawhi's absence. his numbers aren't amazing (9-6-3-1-0.9, all career highs) but he shoots really efficiently (2nd on team in adjusted fg%) and makes good decisions (2nd on team in ast/TO ratio). minus kawhi, LMA is the clear #1 and a whole bunch of guys compete for shots besides (6 players averaging b/w 8.5-12 ppg) and he's right in the middle of that pack. he's called Slo-Mo for a reason, but he makes up for it in his length, so he gets these weird finger rolls as he eurosteps to the hole or he picks off steals from sleeping dribblers or lazy passes. he's gonna make some money this summer.

advanced stats back this up. offensive rating is at 119 this year, defense hasn;t suffered as a starter, either (tho quick PG/s/slashers can get by him).

the spurs drafting/nurturing a perfect boris diaw replacement is the best evidence of their sorcery in a while

wash yr mouth out with soap

while he lacks boris's je ne sais quoi, he is a very boris-in-his-30s kinda player

u trippin

chandler parsons is alive.

.@ShamsCharania reporting that Paul Millsap underwent surgery on his left wrist today and that he’ll be sidelined for three months.

Chandler Parsons experienced tightness in his right knee during the first half of tonight's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He will not return tonight for precautionary reasons.

boris career averages:
8.6/4.4/3.5/0.5/0.6
.493/.336/.717

kyle anderson this year:
9.1/6.1/3.1/1.0/0.9
.515/.375/.786

you're right, kyle is even better

the prototypical kyle anderson play is having the ball somewhere below the ft line, making 25 pump/pass fakes, then passing it harmlessly out to the perimeter

feel like fat boris was known to have that move in his bag o tricks

was there any other boris?

yo let's not compare some rando late 1st round picks to boris fucking diaw, huh?

kyle has GIFTS

lol no

good ol Boris, his career stats page is a wild ride

boris is a special man on my first ballot in the role player hall of fame, and he couldve been an all star if he cared about that sort of thing. but he makes smart plays like this all the time:

*but kyle, like boris, makes smart plays

anyway, im a prophet, kyle anderson is fun to watch, yall will be on this bandwagon when he signs with the nuggets or something next year:

it took him four years to develop the stats of a good sub; bless kyle and bless the spurs development program but idk man

yeah boris was like 18-7-7 in his 3rd year

i do like the slo mo euro step tho, should be called a travel when it's done that slowly

yeah boris was like 18-7-7 in his 3rd year

LETS FIGHT AFTER YOU READ MY WORDS

it's about the passes he's NOT making

damn check out Boris third year #s. Had no idea he averaged a 5x5 for a season.
