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

[thirdtimearound]

 some of you guys get bothered by the weirdest things 

Ok?

 

[ill steelo]

My comprehension is terrible?

I say Kobe beat up on the Raps bench to get to 80 when the game had been decided and you say teams come back in that situation all the time so it was justified get the **** outta here b talking about comprehension

Kobe stat-padded. Period. If we putting an asterisk next to Book, Kobe gets one too.

You've gotta be kidding me.

Kobe WON in 2006. The Suns game was over well before the final buzzer sounded.

And so was the Raptors game Casey had benched the starters and everything.

Kobe still in there jacking up threes

Stat-padding.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Bruh.

Please tell me you watched the game.

The Suns intentionally fouled the Celtics to get Booker the ball back with the sole purpose of him raising his point total.

And how many points did he get off that tactic? 

 

[nick.]

What if the Celtics missed a couple free throws & the Suns cut it to 6 or 8 with over a minute left?

Anything is possible

"Stat padding" in a win draws much less criticism than stat padding in a loss with your team helping you up your point total

Cavs recalled Kay Felder.

Sounds like a Kyrie rest night

Could argue you're extending the game

But no, you should play to win the game meaning let the clock run out and don't try to score anymore

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

League needs to review this and credit Booker with only 64 legit points. Would that satisfy NT

 

[thirdtimearound]

If you're getting blown out you Midas whale let your team help you score as many points possible to impress the dudes on NT who don't even bother with context.

 

[P C H]

My god

Booker was hot.

You call it statpadding, but you could have easily called it Watson not giving up on the game that easily. Why isn't it that Watson was trying to extend the game?
 

Like @nickmaz96 said, if Boston misses a couple of free throws, this discussion is completely different. They were down and trying to come back. For Giggles, the suns actually won the 3rd and 4th quarters. With Booker rolling the way that he was, all it would have taken was a set of missed free throws to make **** interesting.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

nice to see Dario Saric aka young Boris Diaw out here flourishing.

Oh come on you can't tell me when teams have a very comfortable lead early on, they lay the foot off the gas pedal, but keep them comfortably at bay. The final game score does not tel the whole story.

Why are the Celtics being such broads about this? Yall got the W, no reason for yall to be so catty 

cause the end of the gm was a **** show
you got the suns bench celebrating like they were the cubs ending the drought

If I'm on the team with the W idgaf what the other team does after the game.

Them ****** can spray champagne all over the stadium, they lost, idc.

Celts sounding bitter for no reason. Imagine the comments they'd make if they lost

buc em, enter

 

[noblekane]

lol @ people using this devin booker bush league **** to discredit kobe

did you guys even watch that whole raptors lakers game?

waaaaay different than this boston suns game

the biggest clown **** about yesterday was when the entire team was huddled around booker and that piece of paper with 70 on it like that paper was a championship trophy they just won

just pathetic

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Barbs and Chandler have a ring, they gladly participated. Got me laughing a bit not gonna lie. Still no reason to be bitter at them they're the youngest team in the league, the worst team in the league and have had absolutely nothing to be happy about the entire season 

 can't blame em for being happy in the moment

Seriously
They need to rewatch the 81 point game by Kobe
Kobe was simply cooking with gas that day and willed the Lakers to victory

That title belongs to BK Nets

 

[don ramon]

some y'all were drinking out of sippy cups when kobe had his 81 pts

i guess what i'm really trying to say is that i'm old

 

[moe200069]

NT needs another lebron-resting controversy so that way we stop talking about devin booker

so many dudes upset that a kid scored 70 in a professional basketball league, talkin about it was "classless" but probably couldn't drop 10 points in a pick up game themselves. staaahp it

I would give ya bumass buckets. Staaph it.

yeah okay, devin booker

 

[kingfoamnyc]

PHX beat the Knicks twice

Suns > Knicks

 

[moe200069]

Giving it to the guy who has 65 and is shooting above 50% is what any coach would do.


Dance with who brought you there.

Feed the hot hand, unless the hot hand has over 60 

warriors did the same thing with klaydagawd when he dropped 37 in one quarter.. But nt logic would say it's bush league statpadding

 

[noblekane]

this is not the same suns team that beat the knicks twice

they are purposely sitting out all their good players like bledsoe, knight, chandler, and others for the rest of the season to lose on purpose
