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

the complaining is annoying. handing out a T to lebron or draymond in the first couple minutes of the game and actually having the stones to throw them out if they do it again might help

the problem is Ts are too punitive, which is where my 3 Ts plan comes in

Lou Williams' new three-year deal with the Clippers will include a team option on the third year, league sources tell ESPN.

giving a 31 year old a three year deal off of one hot month is the telltale sign of a messed up organization

gotta see how much its for but yeah the shape doesnt look good

I mean a 3 year deal with a team option for the third year is basically just a 2 year deal

i think warnings like they do with delay of game violation would be good

and maybe instead of fining players for disrespecting refs the league shd make them take the ref out to a fancy restaurant and be nice to them

I like this!!

no stoppage but officially goes on the record

you gotta stop play to make a call man!

no stoppage but at the next dead ball the other team get's to pick a player on their team to remove an assessed personal foul from.

play should never stop imo, not even at the end of the game

its theorized that soccer evolved from a sport where a ball was just kicked around from village to village forever, best sport

and maybe instead of fining players for disrespecting refs the league shd make them take the ref out to a fancy restaurant and be nice to them

Restorative justice!

the combo of this tweet and the name of the tweeter is cracking me up

Same ref again when being asked to get out of her face.. #Facts she is horrible and emotional no way this is a tech! These refs cant keep hiding behind these weak tech calls! Embarassing to keep seeing this league become so soft.. https://t.co/0kkqJUE4P5

so prob two years $16m roughly the midlevel exception

Shams Charania @ShamsCharania
Sources: Clippers’ Lou Williams signed a three-year, $24 million extension, with $1.5M partial guarantee in year three. With this season included: four years, $31M.

not bad really

yeah seems like theres gonna be a ton of competition for those midlevel slots this year but all in all its reasonable

i mean i dont know if the clippers have a plan but thats another discussion

anyone else hear the bit during "Players Only" broadcast of GS/OKC last night when they were discussing if there really are more good shooters today or if guys just have more freedom to shoot now? And none of them would say there are more good shooters today? This type of shit makes you doubt "old timers" opinions on anything wrt modern NBA. Guys grew up shooting 3s! It's plainly obv by the eye test plus stats back it up. My personal bball playing experience leaves me with no doubt about this current generation of ballers too.

yeah that whole braodcast last night i was thinking the only thing that could make reggie worse is not pairing him w harlan and sure enough...

players crumpled by the winds and lost in time, no longer sure which team they've been traded to, weeping under a flag formed by a torn phoenix suns jersey

i just wanted to remind everyone, on the eve of the trade deadline, of this motherfucking GOAT post by clay immediately after The Great Point Guard Swap of 2015.

haha

this is something i've really been struggling with--if he hates the cavs and if the lakers can't get their shit together what's plan c?

if he took less money the spurs and rockets would be huge possibilities imo

ok the lou deal is good

i recant my statement. the clips have mostly been doing smart stuff since pushing doc out of the front office save the gallo contract

gallo looking good since coming back from dat ass tear.

my prediction on lebron is that he's on the rockets next year.

i think so too

he should go to the bucks or wizards

he shd go to the magic gain 30lbs and just trot around shooting threes and starring down aaron gordon

one day people will stop believing in the wizards. one day...

I am totally rooting for the rockets for obvious reasons

i bet he and cp take the same deals, somewhere in the 2 year 35-40 mill range. theyd have to find a way to dump andersons contract on someone then they would have about 20 mil to sign capella as well.

2 chainz totally has an nba body.

before this season i was a firm believer that lebron would not leave cleveland for a second time, i don't really feel that way anymore, if this disaster of a season continues i think it is v likely that he will leave

rockets would be dope, if there is going to be one superteam w/ the dubs there may as well be another to compete w/ them

neither LA team makes sense at all

if the rockets get bron the nba needs to immediately cease conference based playoff seeding

which THEY SHD DO ANYWAY

pels pacers delayed by a leaking roof. looks like it will be canned

Wild one in cle

Woooooooooow bron

that was def a wild one

Yea I caught the end

long second lol

what a great pass that was to get bron that look

yeah perfect, the thing i dont understand tho is the cavs had including the inbounder three of their five guys in the backcourt and minny was back there guarding them with one second left
