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

yeah the next hire is pretty important but i wouldn't be worried about what giannis thinks right now

kawhi story seems like fake news, the entire story is a couple of anonymous sources saying he's "distant" and then nothing more on the subject, and rc buford (obviously) denying everything. pretty sure if I had to choose one word to describe kawhi's personality it'd be "distant"

agreed, i was looking for a little more detail from the kawhi story and the fact that it wasn't there tells me nothing is going down

anyway giannis has never played for another coach iirc so i'm sure his reaction is sincere and i'm sure he'll be fine as long as they don't hire an idiot

I mean I'm sure there's disagreement ("discord" in woj's breaking news headline) about the best treatment/rehab plans for his quad injury, so what, spurs have earned the benefit of the doubt on this shit

well they did spend 18 months denying that LMA was unhappy or that anything was wrong... until a few weeks ago when pop was like nope it was all true.

lol NOP up 2 w a couple seconds left Justin Holiday runs up the court does a half assed pump fake and gets some scrub to bite w .03 seconds, going to the line for 3 FTs to win it

missed the 3rd going to OT.

by the way, fuck jason kidd and his wife beating, drunk driving ass

otm

the entire story is a couple of anonymous sources saying he's "distant"

have these people ever watched video of kawhi being interviewed?

Mavs are CRUSHING the wizards who remain a v weird team

Derrick Rose straight up vanished from the Cavs and nobody complained. Kevin Love gets sick and they hold a team meeting about it LMAO

FWIW: DeAndre Jordan has spent 9 years with the LA Clippers, and he’s not on the bench tonight.

league pass alert PDX vs DEN tied with 90 seconds left

holy cow what a shot by murray

jamal is shooting like .450/.460/.930 since december

wiggins has 37 through 3 q

barrea!

John Wall called JJ Barea “just a little midget trying to get mad.” Barea responds by saying he finally has someone in the NBA he doesn’t like. “I don’t think his teammates like him, either.”

this game is nuts

clippers meltdown

doc and woodson both ejected in the final minute lol

that Andrew Wiggins is tough to figure out

he's been huge though in Jimmy's absence

we are ahead of a certain team that currently disconnected with their injured superstar, metaphorically 69ing with ennui

Mavs are CRUSHING the wizards who remain a v weird team

bad vibes

Wall is shooting 42 percent, his lowest mark since he was a rookie, and he just hasn't played with enough vigor on either end of the floor. One measure of that: He has spent 76.57 percent of floor time either standing still or walking, the largest such share among all rotation players, according to tracking data from Second Spectrum. Dirk Nowitzki is right behind Wall, and he's almost 40.

from lowes all star picks ^ http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/22182683/zach-lowe-2018-nba-all-star-starters-reserves

so who do y'all think will be the next Bucks coach

I'm rooting for Obradovic lmao

that john wall stat is insane

For the first time in his career, LeBron James’ team is playing better with him off the court than with him on the court. pic.twitter.com/05jiKOOUX7

Jvg sitting right there like nah I’m good meanwhile coaching d leaguers to get in shape

jvg been out of the game so long suspect he doesnt want back in, tho if anything will lure him back the chance to coach gianiss prim wld prob be it

tho i personally wldnt hire him he was overly conservative a decade ago i wldnt trust him to adjust to todays wide open nba

also he wld prob demand control of personnel decisions which is NOT GOOD

figure out who the young smart assistant who the players like is and hire them

...or a g league coach

wait til the lakers fire luke walton

JVG said in one pod i listened to recently that he's just being selective and that he's actually interviewed for a couple/few jobs over the years but didnt get them. bascially he's still interested but he's got a good gig now so it would have to be worthwhile. I would bet he'll take a shot at this one.

chaka smart maybe? lol my knowledge of good college coaches is non existent.

even tho brother brad is the best coach i still really dont trust college coaches

me neither. and brad could have easily inherited something like blatt did with the cavs and it wouldnt have worked. timing is a big part. hoiberg finaly has the team he can start to coach the way he wants to, etc. think this bucks team has enough veterans that they need someone w some nba experience.
