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

Well in Minnesota he shot 37%+ taking very difficult three pointers and then he shot 37% in Cleveland taking wide open ones which didn’t make sense

ya fair

McCaw and Bell balling out warms my heart.

havent watched a ton of cavs this year but loves def looking pretty spry out there im going with the health theorem + maybe a lil feeling more comfortable playing w one fewer ball dominant teammate, and some randomness

wld be weird if he were getting better looks considering hes moved up the scoring hierarchy from 3rd to 2nd option

yeah idk it’s interesting to think about this, on one hand being a less prominent offensive option might mean defenses are paying less attention to you, but otoh maybe he quality of looks you get is worse because you’re getting lots of busted plays, not having plays run to get you open specifically, things of that nature

Love seems the same to me just on a hot streak. Did this last year on a couple stretches too iirc.

esp given catch and shoot iirc wasn’t love’s strong suit coming into cleve, he was used to scoring as the primary option, tons of pick and rolls with rubio as the guy passing him the ball, etc

battle of the hoops unicorns

btw everyone vote in the unicorn poll

Love isn’t just on fire from 3 tho, he’s setting a career high from 2

seems like hes moving real good to me and being more aggressive too, for so much of his cavs time hes looked totally tentative and out of place

loves numbers gonna dip when IT2 comes back?

lmfao u guys catch that adidas thought leadership commercial my lord

Had to mute it lol

kyrie monetizing the brand lol

Rolls eyes at the flat earth

bron 10 fga thru 3Q setting over/under for fga in 4q at 8

remember when bron cldnt hit a shot outside 10 feet for a whole season

one thing to consider with love is it cld just be a different guy

I have a hard time believing all four of these people are Kevin Love@World_Wide_Wob @kevinlove pic.twitter.com/ssrCupZqXM

It’s crazy how good he is at that

still not convinced the cavs are much worse without kyrie but we won’t be able to judge until the finals

cavs big problem is that they have two above average defenders on the whole team, and they play the same position

theyre gonna have to score a ton of points in the playoffs their whole team is so exploitable

Brons usage goes up and that’s obv good but he got tired in the 2015 finals when he had to do it all

ppl gassed up on them winning a bunch of games in the nba doldrums with bron playing 37 a game is uh lol

i still believe in wade as a real playoff contributor

idk theyve got a lot of guys who cld go either way, they cld easily be out in the 2nd round

He’ll come up big in some games for sure.

IT, wade, jr, korver, crowder, bron, love, tristan, the reanimated corpse of jeff green... this is a better rotation than they were rolling out last year. not that they’ll beat the warriors so does it really matter but yeah.

its not lol

is there a such thing as a win/no loss trade?

Both teams only one time out left godbless

what are they looking at here lol?

when youre factoring jeff green continuing to play well into your projection might be time to........recalculate

its not lol

KD got away w one there

absurd no call

when youre factoring jeff green continuing to play well into your projection might be time to........recalculate

half of the players u listed cld very easily look unplayable in the 'offs

All this talk of love and he had to be sat down in crunch time of this game

durant getting away with whatever he wants on D lol

half of the players u listed cld very easily look unplayable in the 'offs

well they had kyrie too

Ugh this Jax and Jvg rant we get it dudes
