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

Lavine looked niiiiiiiice

Fun game. That bad technical on Thibodeaux cost the Timberwolves the game.

Dame has scored 50 in three quarters against the Kings. CJ McCollum scored 50 during three quarters a few games back and sat down in the fourth, but this one's close enough that Lillard will probably stay in the game for a while longer.

At the first timeout they played a two minute long video tribute to Gibson and Butler, which was weird

bron had 19 assists crazy

dame highlight reel from last night is freakin nuts

still so unbelievable the types of 3s that are good shots these days

part of me wonders whether they should move the 3pt line back. we might see fewer 3s, but I also think this might give good 3 point shooters even more of an individual edge

i say leave it the game is so good right now

Yah if anything widen the court so the side threes are the same distance

that i wld like to see

i understand the impulse but the elimination of the midrange 2 has been good for the game i think... moving the 3 back would prob shift that back

emphasis on shooting threes has caused so much more ball movement and required players to be more skilled not just in shooting but passing and ball handling playmaking etc, also opened up the lane for driving, its good

it aint broke, stop tryina fix it

I've thought for awhile that 3 should be moved back for NCAA, but even though I miss some things about 80s/90s NBA play, this is a great era for NBA ball and 3pt line is p much at ideal distance.

the 1 thing I think would make biggest positive impact is getting rid of a couple teams but that'll never happen

Half court shots worth 5 pts.

Rockets added joe johnson. Philly added Bellinelli.

The rockets are rolling and have the same amount of losses as the dubs. the threat is real.

And they have the tie breaker

bold prediction: rockets will not beat the warriors in the playoffs

chris paul will destroy those punks I can't wait

cp3 beating the unbeatable warriors and winning a ring wld be so great

i listened to a lot of trade deadline coverage and 100% of it was looking past the rockets.

Does Vegas have odds on whether or not Paul will punch Steph in the nuts?

bout a quarter of the chances of draymond kicking clint capela in his

You guys haven’t though this through you don’t want an entire 18-19 season of “hilarious” commercials featuring harden losing cp’s championship ring and his insurance agent saving the day

I’m kind of a dantoni fan tho and wouldn’t mind seeing him break through but his destiny is to be forever clowned by pop in the offs

Marcus Morris should have to wear a shock collar that zaps him if he takes a 3.
