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

3ot :0

gary harris <3

the bulls had lost 15/16 when Mirotic came back, they're 5-0 since and he's looking like the player they always hoped he would be. probably wont hold... but maybe getting deebo'd was what he needed.

crazy

the houston rockets are good

Westbrook 10 for 33

embiid confirms

Doesn't matter who it is, Embiid is always coming straight for your neck. This Russ attack is even more vicious in video pic.twitter.com/hdeZYF5H9R

nba needs to contract to 2 teams

lebron leaving the east could create an interesting vacuum-filling effect the year after

Move the grizz to Seattle. Drop the pels and hornets. Get rid of conferences.

there's not really a good thread for it, but lorenzen wright's ex-wife and another guy just got arrested for his murder: http://www.commercialappeal.com/story/news/courts/2017/12/15/sherra-lorenzen-wright-arrested-california-memphis-nba/929512001/

Whoa.

isn't the main purpose of conferences to reduce travel? that seems worth keeping

Spottie's idea is sound

xp you could probably reduce the number of games to offset that problem

contract to 30 teams, 58 game season, no back to backs

contracting prob the least likely out of all these farfetched ideas tho haha

None of these ideas will happen. Less games means less revenue no way owners agree to that

there's already 30 teams imo

lolz duh

heh

The attempted murder charge is about a prior attempt to kill Lorenzen Wright, officials confirmed. They said Sherra and Billy Turner previously tried to kill Wright.

uuh damn

Story is madness

yeah very sad

apparently the rockets have had the easiest schedule in the nba so far this season. minny 2nd and Cleveland 3rd.

spurs are about to drop a 3rd str8 game, 2 of them against the mavs including tonight

MANUUUUUUUUUUUU

what a comeback

lmaoooooooooooooooooooooo

idk wtf the opposite of a jinx is but i just fucking did that

think the scored 12 or 14 straight to win the game

so basically, the spurs were down by 11 with about 5 minutes to go and dallas decided they already won the game and settled for contested jumpers all the way down the stretch and lamarcus hit some clutch shots then manu played wes matthews on the mavs' inbound with <24 secs, spurs got the ball back, manu layup ftw

that wes matthews failure to inbound was a great result of the NBA cutting back on timeouts.

it was great, the end of this game was very tidy. couldve been a trench warfare timeout-a-thon and instead it was exciting and over quick

it was exciting and over quick

*blows dust off old leather-bound book*
*opens to page 69*
ahem, that's...what she said

lol

but for real that's happened in quite a few games ive watched this season. coaches that take all those 'momentum killing' timeouts early in the game often pay the price later.

nothing was worse than the 'see what formation they line up' right before we inbound then call another timeout thing.

suns beat minny in minny without their best player. Len w 12-19-6-2-1 in 28 minutes. Bender hit five 3s.

wolves wore their highlighter jerseys

minnesota somehow is playing exactly how good i thought they wld and are hugely disappointing

I didn't even think they were a lock for the offs though they'll probably cruise in with the clippers and grizz being bad

Everybody trashed those neon wolves unis but

I like the

*them

nothing was worse than the 'see what formation they line up' right before we inbound then call another timeout thing.

#Nets want Jahlil Okafor in better shape before he plays again https://t.co/Y40VbOQjsn via @nypostsports

skipper out http://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/21804776/john-skipper-resigns-espn-president

seems like a dumb move by the nets to publicly shame okafor like that, give him a few minutes while he gets in shape whats the big deal
