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

[kingjaffejo]

All those minutes for LBJ & Kyrie still to catch the L. And they prob will lose that #1 seed. Not gonna lie all the problems from this Cavs team has stemmed from Coach Lue. He has done a horrible job of player management this year.

Jesus, had no clue Bobby Brown was playing this season, see that he's been on the roster for the whole year too. Amazing

It's funny. They kill the celtics the other day and it's "cakewalk through the east once again"
Then they have a mediocre game or two or three and, they looking funny or in trouble. Which one is it.

Well Boston is fake good and could get bounced by a few teams so it makes sense that the cavs would pounce on them. I have little faith in an IT lead team come playoff time and the support around them doesn't make them favorites to me against any team, much less the cavs

"Fake good" is a stretch though. My bad

The cavs though really have been looking funny in the light and I wouldn't be opposed to saying they're in "trouble." This is game 80 and **** like this is happening

Still picking the cavs out east but they aren't invincible

Washington and Toronto prime for the upset

That wasn't a foul on Bron but the game had many iffy calls.

Karma for all his flopping

 

[youngwolf]

The Cavs went from potentially being able to rest their starters for the final game of the season, to having to play them for their final two.

Y I K E S !

Approach quickly, does life.

The Hawks remain unbeaten in five overtime games this year, and they are now 7-3 against Cleveland, Boston and Toronto.

If Toronto doesn't get it done this year, contract them too

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Westbrook 2 assists away

Celtics are the best road team in the East

 

[trueprada]

 The "disinterested" Hawks, who "should be tanking," just won three of four against the Cavs this season

​

The Hawks trailed by 26 points entering the 4th quarter. It's the largest 4th-quarter comeback in the NBA since 2002 when the Lakers came back to stun the Mavericks. It's also the largest blown lead in LeBron James' career. His teams had never blown a lead of more than 24 points at any point.

 

[T0INE]

If Toronto doesn't get it done this year, contract them too

It's now or never for the Raptors.

The Cavs sputtering going into the postseason, Lowry byke, the additions of Serge and Tucker.

Being able to prepare for one team for two weeks is way different than the regular season

Have fun with entire playoff defenses on top of IT and good luck with those Marcus smart 3's and that thin frontline

I'm not saying they can't do anything come playoff time, they absolutely could. But I just don't think they're the 2nd best team in the conference

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Nine 3's and a 42 point first quarter for HOU

Sheesh

 

[addict4sneakers]

Like I really don't understand the Cavs.

HC doesn't matter. Seeding doesn't matter. Matchups don't matter.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Russ is 1 assist away

 

[HOU$TON]

Nine 3's and a 42 point first quarter for HOU

Sheesh

Playoff ready

They've been trapping IT hard since early March and Celtics are still able to win, rebounding could be a issue.

But your right about them not being the 2nd best team, even though they could finish 1st, on NT Celtics are the 5th best team in the East
