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

Missed the bobbleheads and it’s the grizz not the wolves 😬 Yeah I’m a casual bandwagon fan.

They’re playing like trassssh

Klay is doing stuff

Trash rebounding for sure

spurs win another one on final possession. they were up 1 with a minute left and i wasnt even trippin.

The ESPN story on Kanter edited out the bit forks bolded, which is kind of ironic

despite all the (legitimate) criticisms of the Wolves this year, it's before xmas and we have 19 wins and are in the 4th seed in the west.

some perspective on what a complete dumpster fire this franchise has been, shocking even to me:

at 19 wins, we have already tied or bettered our win total for FIVE of our 28 complete seasons as a franchise

when we hit 25 wins, we will have tied or bettered our win total for ELEVEN of our 28 complete seasons as a franchise

at 30 wins, we will have tied or bettered our win total for FIFTEEN of our 28 complete seasons as a franchise

at 35 wins, we will have tied or bettered our win total for EIGHTEEN of our 28 complete seasons as a franchise

also we didn't get over 30 wins until 8 years into the franchise

we've only had 40 or more wins in 8 season of our 28 complete seasons

v happy for wolves fans who have a flawed but promising team that will be undone by thib's unrelenting cruelty

think this lagoon post was otm re wolves

i think it's really just a thibs problem. seems like it's hard to have fun when he's the coach.

gallo tore his ass

Update on Danilo Gallinari: he has partial tear in left glute. Will be out longer than expected

one word to explain it: thibs

d wade D oh my
lauri is like.... the white klay thompson

thibs has not been great in minnesota for sure but uh he consistently fielded ultacompetitive teams in chicago that were a nightmare to play against. i'm not convinced that it's as simple as him losing his fastball or something.

Just doesn’t seem like he can adapt to the strengths of his lineup maybe?

Bulls finally lose. Hopefully back to tanking now.

Horrible shot by denzel shoulda given it up to the sweet shooting 7 footer right next to him that coulda got off a much cleaner shot

yeah that was ugly

the knicks are just letting beas iso on every possession and it's working; what dystopian universe have i entered?

kyrie rubbing off on the rest of the team

that was a sweet move

the knicks have assembled like 60% of the most irritating players in the nba somehow. i actually kind of hate them.

beas has been doing this for a solid week now it feels like haha

he had a good season last year too. his late career resurgence has been fun.

ive never seen a big man struggle to finish at the rim as bad as joffrey lauvergne. he's a hustler who grabs rebounds and has decent hands, but as soon as he's under the rim, he cannot just put the ball in.

Kyrie Irving on his first Christmas in Boston: "I mean the hoopla on Christmas, I don't really get into that. I don't really necessarily think of Christmas as a holiday. I'm just happy that I get to be with my family. Looking forward to playing in front of the fans and just playing against a high-level Washington team and going against great guys and then, of course, opening presents and that whole thing."

still falling short of lebron, missed the easy layup after the setup for "things of that nature."

Lol

lebron was mic'd up for the game yesterday. they should mic him up every game imo

LeBron's daughter wanted some candy mid-game.

love to think I have the NBA figured out

ouch the defensive footage of KAT in that YouTube is painful

Yeah. KAT wanders around a lot on D, as if he has no real idea where he ought to be, just a vague notion of the general area. So, he's seldom ready when the offensive move comes. In the NBA, that's always going to make you late to the party. These are the habits of a guy so enormous, athletic and talented in high school that he could do whatever he wanted and always look good doing it, so no one ever corrected him.

his footwork really stood out to me there lol
