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

[mgrand15]

Harden looks like he's in great shape. I know offenses run more smoothly early in with some teams but you can really see the difference between a D'Antoni offense and "jack up the first 3 possible".

Warriors are gonna be scary. You forget how much of a defensive upgrade KD is over Barnes.

Can't wait to watch Houston vs Dubs. It's gonna have the score of an All Star game

 

[Humbled]

If Embiid can consistently hit the outside shot... :x

 

[Based Jesus]

Dubs out here playing on pro. Knicks game had me so tight I crawled into bed and missed the clips getting thrashed 

 

[Peep Game]

I cringed at that Embiid misstep. It was just a slight movement, but I thought he was already about to be done

 

[awwsome]

Embiid is the future.


He, AD, Kristaps and KAT in 3 years if everybody remains healthy. :x :x :x

God I know. I'll probably feel anxiety every time that him and Dario are on the floor this year just praying nothing bad happens...

Dario was looking real nice last night too. Looks like a natural for the NBA game.

Harden looks like he's in great shape.

One of the first things I noticed about him.

He really is unstoppable and the amount of PnR that he's going to play this year will only exacerbate that. As long as he's in shape and doesn't let the defense off the hook with lazy step back long jumpers that he occasionally does, he's going to be awesome. 

 

[flyerthandelta]

Was really impressed with Embid,Harden and the Warriors last night.

Warriors had about 40pts just off fast breaks :x

Harden conditioning looks great and Klay too

 

[yung16]

mannnnnnnnn golden state looking unreal last night lol


gotta say tho Mo Speights was looking good.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Rockets gonna take the Warriors out in the playoffs

 

[addict4sneakers]

James Archibald is coming for y'all

 

[polosanddunks]

Straight run and gun offense and shooting 3s from both teams all game. I excited

Harden had no choice but to get in tip top shape too with D'Antoni's system. Can't be playing point, doing pnrs, shooting 3s and be the vocal point of offense while being washed

How much more scary can they be? They won 73 games last year. Beta boy ruined the regular season and West playoffs quite frankly.

[emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji]the warriors going to sweep theough the west with ease. Going to be a boring and anticlimatic playoffs. This is the 2001 Lakers type playoffs run for them if they stay healthy

 

[carver]

I'm just excited to see the young pups grow.. Gonna be the same two teams in the finals again yay ...

Dantonis offense was made Harden

He's gonna average 30 & 10

Rockets are a 3 seed if Gordon, Nene, Ariza, and Anderson stay healthy

Y'all gon see

Y'all think what Myrie did to Curry was bad ?

LOL

Wait till that Houston vs Golden State series

It's a long season and playoffs...Anything can happen

 

[MVP]

I'll go even further, the Finals are going to be anti climatic as well barring GM Lebby trading Love for Melo or Boogie during the regular season.

Utter nonsense, this is like the Megazord going against some puttys.

Is this you trying to feel better about the stomping the Rockets put on your Knicks?

 

[Peep Game]

The answer for the Warriors having a weaker bench is just to be up by 40 early on

Comaparing the Cavs to the Rockets..

Man I'll believe it when I see it. I could see the Rockets being a good team but they ain't no contenders in the west this year, no team is though aside from GS obviously...
It's a one team conference and everyone else is fighting for 2nd place.

Dudes are really downplaying and in denial about just how much better GS became with Durant.

 

[a-friend]

A couple things.

F word GSW
Harden > Klay as better SG, better player and better man
Draymond is no longer top 10 and I give him ASB before throwing hands @KD
F Word KD, dude going to get boo'ed in every City
EVEN THOUGH Dray will fall out of top10, Dray > Blake

Man OKC > LAC as the teams are built now.
Blake/DJ will get man handled by OKC bigs
CP3 will get washed by Russ/Ola and JJ going to be to old to stop anybody, much less OKC.

Last, OKC is going to will their way to top 3 seed and Spurs will barely crack top 5

All of this, I mean

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I'm still skeptical of the rockets for a couple reasons. For one dantoni teams are notorious for letting opponents back into games. Teams will copy their blueprint midgame and run their system just as well as them. If it happened with those Suns teams it will happen to them, these rockets are not as good as those suns. Another thing is they have so many injury prone guys on the squad and I feel like they will over rely on harden. They have no one to run the offense when he sits unless Tyler Ennis steps up big time. Mda will probably make dudes like Dekker and wiltjer look like hall of famers tho. But their lack of defense will make their offense almost a net neutral. They'll start off hot but will start cracking by January.

Also don't take either of last night's ESPN games too seriously. Both winning teams were on their second games against teams playing for the first time. None of them are as good or bad as they appeared

 

[a-friend]

KD said he will try to average Double Double this year.
Man on the real, dude has a better chance of averaging a Triple Double than RUSS.

His defense alone in that system will account for 3-5 assists on fast break Bunnies

It doesn't matter what the seeds are and who makes the 8 in either conference.

GSW will sweep the entire playoffs man.
KD won, he won.
People will now be forced to call him Champ and his greatness will be legitimized in his eyes because it's backed by a Chip, but he will never be a modern day Legend and his Legacy will never be associated with him.
