Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[trynafeelmink]

I personally think Kyrie is gonna get some major consideration for MVP this year, I think him & K.Love will be getting a lot more touches during the regular season because Lebron needs to be rested for the W's. Kyrie can easily put up 25-27 a game if he's focused on it. that and a #1 seed will have him in the talks. I'm expecting 24, 6 & 7 from Lebron which is clearly great but those #'s aint gettin him the MVP because i expect KD/ Steph (5 rebs, 7-8 assist for steph) to have the same #'s with a better record.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Yeah if anything Boston improved..

 

[addict4sneakers]

James Archibald is going to lead the league in scoring and assists, rockets finish in the top 4. Maybe even 3rd depending on the washedness of the spurs guards.

The Knicks should always be the number one candidate for a let down season so much optimism every year and it turns into a let down

 

[wavycrocket]

I think this past NBA Finals has reversed the LeBron voter fatigue and now it's "We wrote LeBron off too soon"

Yup.

Can see Bron coasting though.

If Clips get a 2 seed and Blake averages bout 24/8/5.....I can see him getting it.

KD & Steph too.

Not sure if posted

Damn, KD smh

Yea we saw it already

Nope, they're winning 50+ games and finishing top 4 in the East. Oh, and Melo is better than Kawhi Leonard.

Don't forget Blake Griffin!

Very accurate Eastern conference. Yeah, i can't wait to see Indiana.

I'm a Boston fan and lifer but people are really putting my squad up there with high expectations. Y'all really think Boston is THIS good? I'm glad to see that but i don't want to get overhyped and be let down this season. I Hope Boston can nab that no.1 seed or at least run into Cleveland in the ECF's. Not in the first or second round.

Yes. They were top 3 last year and added an all-star + a lottery pick.

Toronto was stagnant this year and Cleveland will take a back seat. That being said, I don't see anyone topping them off.

The only way I can see Blake getting it (and reaching his full potential) is if CP3 gets injured or traded.

LeBron, Leonard, Westbrook, and Harden are my early predictions for top 4 candidates.

The Rockets are built for the regular season and Westbrook and Leonard will carry the most load to put their team in contention.

GWS stars, much like LeBron, don't care too much about individual awards. They got their eyes on a championship.

Melo is better than Kawhi Leonard.

What? Melo is not even top 5 in his position

I sure as hell know I didn't say this.

Melo is better than Kawhi Leonard.

LeBron
Durant
Kawhi
Melo
George

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I can see Blake taking MVP this year. Supposedly fat Paul isn't gonna be so much dribble dribble dribble this year so that should help. Also I'm gonna throw Dame in the convo. Not because I really think he has a chance but more so just to be different. If pdx finishes top 4 he'll get some token consideration.

Sarcasm.

Wasn't you.

 

[pjdabullsfan]

LeBron
Durant

Melo isn't better than PG especially when he's playing well. 

Sarcasm.

Dead serious 

Lebron 

KD 

Kawhi 

PG13

Jimmy (since he's playing SF this year)

Kawhi is one of the most overated guys i've seen develop in a Long time. If he was a player on any other squad he wouldn't be getting this praise.

Excellent Defender.. average scorer dudes best year is 21 ppg and he's been an "Elite" shooter for one season. Never been the focal point of the Offense.

We will see how his game goes when he's asked to guard the best perimeter player and still create on Offense. Not to mention for all the lock up talk that gets done. KD & Westbrook sure got off when playing him in the playoffs

 

[Moheezy]

Top 5 SG's ? (Harden doesn't count anymore)

 

Depends on who Harden is gaurding.

 

[carver]
