2016-2017 NBA Season Thread [ARCHIVED] Basketball • Page 274

What a bizarre opinion

 

No kidding. Dude is a role player at best. Guessing we are going to have to revisit two seasons ago haha.

 

This was easily my favorite part of last night's game. Howard went to town on Al knowing he was in foul trouble.

 

Well obviously delly isn't worth ten million a year, I think the bucks just wanted to roll the dice on what they thought could be a potential

 

He's fine as a second or third guard but when he has to play more than 20 minutes is when issues arise

 

Has anyone else heard about the Big 3 league this summer? It's a bunch of retired NBA players playing 3 on 3 pickup basically. Fox Sports picked up the viewing rights for this summer.

Terrible first quarter from Cleveland. Losing to Atlanta's bench. That's good.

 

I remember hearing about this a little while ago. Could be fun. On a related note, I'd love to see 3x3 ball in the Olympics. That would be fun.

 

Win or lose, this is a shameful performance by the Cavs.

 

If Kyrie is seriously hurt the Cavs title chances may be done.

 

Zombie Hawks

This just means Atlanta will get stomped at full-strength for round two in a couple days.

 

You give me a 3x3 league with AI, Jason Williams, and Ricky Davis and I'm sold haha. I don't really care how old they are.

In regards to the Olympics, I would rather we not use our NBA stars. To be honest, I would prefer we use amateur players. I'm fine with the 5x5 format. I think hockey is the one major sport in the Olympics where I like the stars playing. I'm probably in the minority with that opinion though.

 

This Cavs game. Yikes. Atlanta is hitting a lot of their threes and the Cavs are missing bunnies. One of those nights. The media will have a field day with this one and some fans are going to freak out again haha.

 

Zombie Hawks just went super saiyan. THJ good lawd

 

Glad this Cavs game was blacked out.

 

I agree, I don't want the NBA stars in that either. FIBA has a 3x3 league that I'll catch a couple times a year that's kind of fun. I imagine those guys would play.

 

"Russell Westbrook is going for a NBA record for triple doubles, let's put that on NBAtv" - whoever runs this shit at the NBA

 

Why isn't Friday NBA on ESPN 2 at least? Who cares about white dudes golfing on a Friday night. Maybe on Sunday when there is nothing else on.

 

I didn't know FIBA had 3x3 league. Interesting. I'll have to look into that a little bit.

 

Following Cavs game, Kyrie said he's been feeling discomfort in knee for a while and on Thursday it felt "terrible."

So, why in the hell is Tyronn Lue playing him? That's inexcusable. I'd shut him down until the playoffs. This is nothing to mess with.

 

How do we know he has communicated those thoughts to the trainers, let alone the coaches? Ty is pretty player-friendly, so I tend to doubt he knew the severity, and like a cattle driver forced him out there. That's not like Ty. If he is hurt I bet we shut him down, but it could be partially frustration and embarrassment talking as well. Fans need to chill. They seem to live and die with every little performance this year. This team plays its best ball (going back to the Blatt days) when the odds are against them and their backs are against a wall.

 

Bucks are in the playoffs!!!!!

I'm going to both of the first two home games.

 

Have a game Lillard.
