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

In that scenario the Lakers would make the most sense. I actually think Lavar is a wild card though.

xp he'd be a nice fit playing the 4 on the celtics : )

if the lakers were unwilling to ship lonzo out on demand they are very dumb.

so it turns out that its really hard for the spurs to win games when their three best players are out

its fucked up, im beginning to think they wont win the finals this year

this spurs year is super weird

3-10 in the east is tight

ha, wild

that jazz winning streak is ridiculous

Spurs have had their entire lineup available for one game this season. San Antonio has missed a total of 166 games due to injury and have used 19 different starting lineups.

thing with the Lakers/LeBron that still makes me think it won't happen is the post above: why willingly go to the West looking at that? esp since it's not like, for example, what Jimmy Butler saw with the Wolves in terms of if they plug me into this it almost has to be pretty good, the Lakers seem so undefined

whether it's narrative or "lebron owns a home in LA" or championship opportunities or other reasons it has never made much sense imo for lebron to go to the lakers. idk it's like this rumor materialized out of thin air and it's not clear to me why. the reasons offered don't really hold up to much scrutiny

obv smarter and more knowledgable people than me think it is a likely move for lebron so what the fuck do i know. still.

id bet on bron staying in cleveland now particularly considering they can swing another big deal before the draft with that nets pick... unless dan gilbert doesnt want to do it because he doesnt want to pay the repeater tax and actually he wants bron to leave

woj column on the deals http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/page/Woj22432626/how-cleveland-cavaliers-changed-their-season-flurry-trades-adrian-wojnarowski

i mean most of the these guys + bron and paul george is not better than the cavs + dre jordan or whoever and its certainly not better than the warriors or rockets, ie lakers dont get out of the second round with bron

Dwyane Wade doesn't want a Kobe Bryant-esque farewell tour: "I’m not a narcissist like that" https://t.co/HjLchf09RI pic.twitter.com/rhNJCUPx9S

lol i thought they were homies

i realize i just called kobe a narcissist but i didnt know i had done it until it was too late

"I don’t want one of those," the 36-year-old said. "I talked to Kobe about that. He was like, ‘It was exhausting. As flattering as it was, it was very exhausting as well.’ I’m not a narcissist like that—I’m not calling Kobe a narcissist, he earned that and he needed that—but I can’t say I want a farewell tour like Kobe Bryant. That’s not who I am."

haha

lol just watched the video and thats exactly how it happened

he actually reaches out his hand like no stop

(calls kobe a narcissist)

"I'm not calling Kobe a narcissist."

yeah he cant back out of that one . guarantee he was on the phone to kobe like 30 seconds after he wrapped that interview

lmao

Guarantee after a couple min Kobe cancelled the order for the suppresser and the untraceable rounds.

if kobes mad just ask him to explain the musecage again and he calms down by the end of the 45min presentation

haaaa

heard a good theory from i think windhorst that wade is gonna bounce to china after this season. makes sense. he could put up 30-6-6 for the next couple/few years, get paid a ton and push his shoes.

i was thinking that eventually a fading NBA legend would look at this...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CXW1W-AUwAAUb6z.jpg

...and think "damn i could rule an entire continent."

yeah and he already has ties there.

yeah hes def been laying the ground work for late career china stardom for a while

omg i just turned on this game and wtf it's bill walton you guys it's bill walton

and doris!

also uh david west is the 5th best warrior this year and it's not even close.

KD two 4 point plays in a row

announcer: nice shot by swaggy p
walton: who!?!?
announcer: uh nick young. that's his nickname.
walton: i would not have guessed that

crazy that swaggy hasnt got himself into game shape yet.

i miss bill waltons voice in the nba

not sure i could deal with more walton than like a couple times a year but this is definitely fun

[blazers blow a 2 on 1 fast break] walton: one of the six WORST possessions in the history of the portland trail blazers, learn how to PLAY THE GAME

^ now this is the shit i miss

yup just hyperbole and smoke

bill walton should be allowed to smoke weed while he calls games #commishmoves

earlier walton said "bad shot by livingston... weren't they going to amputate livingston's knee?"

dame has been freakin on one lately its crazed

dame vs kd was incredible stuff. splash bros didnt have it tonight. warriors now in 2nd place behind houston...

i just smiled through a whole game listening to bill n doris n pasch

dubs had so many chances to win this one and bricked a lot of v makable shots in the fourth

they just flat out suck in 1st quarters this year and always have to climb back. sometimes it works.

dray is cooked
