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

wow that's a big swing from afflalo xp

yeah he went for it

Everybody wilding out lately, what is going on

suspend afflolo for the season cos he should be out of the league anyway

wow that's a big swing from afflalo

a fucking roundhouse swing like that shows afflalo has no grasp at all of how to punch with potency. you need to set your feet and punch short, straight and sweet using your legs for power. even if he'd landed it, that wasn't going to do much real damage.

lol rondo otm

Rajon Rondo was irked to hear that the Celtics would honor Isaiah Thomas on any night. "What has he done?” Rondo asked. Told that he led the Celtics to the conference finals last year, Rondo remarked, “Oh, that’s what we celebrate around here?”

ha rondo owns

lol go on then

More Rondo on IT: “This is the Boston Celtics. This isn’t the Phoenix Suns, no disrespect to any other organization, but you don’t hang conference titles. Do we hang going to the conference finals? What do we hang here?”
Title banners, Rondo was told.
“OK, cool,” Rondo said.

the Hill situation really sucks for him because at least our local beat reporters and radio guys were hearing the Wolves preferred Hill over Teague and he just turned them down

doubt they were offering as much. he followed the money (good call) but he is delusional if he looked at that roster (franchise) and thought they were going to compete for anything more than a .500 record. If he really wanted out then he shoulda balled out and made his wishes known behind the scenes. he's played and complained his way out of any trade value.

you know he wld be good for, cleveland

signing him at $20m a/y for 3 years was such a weird bad completely kings move

if it was a one year rental, or maybe two, a ton of teams would be hunting him down.

yeah for sure

did the spurs mismanage this?

damn

damn re: kawhi. i trust that the spurs are doing the smart thing tho

do we usually do a new thread for the all-star weekend? someone wanna make one so we can do picks and stuff?

Dpnt remember us doing a separate one in the past for that. usually just use this one through the ASB then start a new thread for 2nd half of the season. open to an all star / awards thread tho, maybe could use it to start yapping about mvp/roy nonsense too.

Dpnt remember us doing a separate one in the past

Well, there's this one and this one and this one and this one... but that doesn't mean we need to do it ever again.

this is a classic pic

Pretty sure I had that album but sold it

I like the idea of having an all-star thread to talk about picks and to use during that weekend, but I’m not that good at making funny thread titles

xp "at tha playground... ya know!"

just do it! xp

funny titles r bad anyway

hearing harden is gonna be back for the Saturday abc dubs vs rox game. pretty sure the league is gonna wait til sunday to hand out suspensions for the rox clips thing.

lol nvm

Sources. The NBA is suspending Houston’s Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green two games for aggressively entering Clippers locker room. No penalties for Chris Paul and James Harden.

hard to say since theyve been hush hush about kawhi's injury for so long. they certainly didnt rush him back, and when he did play, he suited up all of 9 games, all with at least 3 days rest in between and on minutes restrictions. he looked good, but not 100%. of all the years to have a kawhi recovery year, the middle of the dubs dynasty is probably not a bad one.

i listened to some sports talk radio on the way home about this, spurs fans are all in a panic and wanna do TRADEZ. it's a good thing our fans don't run the team, jesus.

Baze just crossed over AD and buried a game winner in his face

oh wow Dunn just dunked full speed and held on to the rim for a second too long and went face first into the wood
