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

seems like they arent running offenwe through Jokic as much? haven watched them a ton this year.

I wish they’d do it more, but it seems to me to be about the same as always

Thunder seem to be rounding into form a bit. Russ hasnt taken more than 3 threes in a game during their win streak.

there were some quotes by melo last week to the effect that hes not allowed to iso anymore, he has to get his off of ball movement and he has begrudgingly agreed to play good basketball

old man Vince lighting up the Cavs

pretty dece tnt double header tonight.

paul out for rockets, brown out for celtics, still a good matchup tho, curious to see if the celtics can get up for this one, they played last night and have m/l played every other day this month, also have generally been bad over that span

rox have a 3 game L streak going too so they may be hungry.

jeff teague out indefinitely with a knee sprain, it looked bad and everyone thought it was an acl tear so coulda been worse. now we see what tyus jones is made of.

Should we poll baron posterizing kirilenko vs dern posterizing the first order or is that too much

Happy holidays ilh glad 2 b back

how tf was green not employed

Free agent guard Gerald Green is finalizing a non-guaranteed deal to sign with the Houston Rockets, league sources tell ESPN.

a beat down in the garden happening rn

welcome back hibachi

the celtics r not doing good vs the rockets

they never do

they are doing a lil better now

bucks comeback too

if the celtics pull this off man alive. down 26 at one point

celtics D decided to show up for the 2nd half, been on vacation for a while

horrible stuff from kyrie here in the last couple mins

will probably hit a 3 here to redeem himself tho

yeah the execution has not been good down the stretch, houstons harden taking a contested 3 at the shot clock buzzer leaves something to be desired too

seems like both teams r kinda shook by the physicality of this two refs game

yah hardens choices have been bad too

he's always had bonehead tendencies that rear up in certain situations

OMGGGGGGGG

RIGHT. ON. CUE

ahhh jaaaames

Lol harden losin his damn mind out here

loooool

will we see more effective flopping at any point this season? we all sit on the edge of our seats....

harden got trolled so hard

lmao @ harden being called for two str8 deadball offensive fouls

srsly harden

celtics having rozier/smart/tatum down the stretch to switch onto harden and keep him from driving was huge, that and him never passing, also jayson blocked one of his threes!

lol xp

yeah that block was huge

man al got that shot so easy houston needs to bring the double theres only three seconds left celtics only had time for one maaybe two passes

it was like they were confused that al just isoed.

yeah they were looking for something else def

rockets were just shook they were all out of sorts at the end

yeah true they had their small offensive unit in there too cause of the foul lol

proud of marcus for refining his flopping technique

Honestly, this probably should've gotten Marcus Smart suspended from the NBA for at least a year... pic.twitter.com/zVKpAhUoeB

nice little thread of harden's flopping (blanketing) opponents off inbound plays:

lol harden is so weird

Chris Paul wasn't mad at Marcus Smart, he was impressed.
