2016-2017 NBA Season Thread [ARCHIVED] Basketball • Page 253

lol k

 

This is a really good read.
Miserable at every NBA stop, Darko Milicic has found peace as a farmer

 

I love that Larry Sanders brought the idea up about playing in the D-league. I know Larry started prepping this past summer hoping to sign in the off-season and has been staying in shape, but you have to play through a lot of rust. Getting your sea legs back in Canton is a great way to do it. He just won't get the minutes necessary to get going in Cleveland. We need him effective in the minutes he does play. He at least sounds like he is humble and serious about getting back into it. And then having the player option for next year was a great insurance move by Griff and the front office. Hopefully this signing pans out.

 

Twitterbag: Did the Nuggets lose the Rudy Gobert trade?

 

Cavs going off so far

 

44 in the first quarter and then drain a three to open the second. Deron has been steadily looking better and JR is playing through some rust. The team is starting to get a little anxious too, so it's good to see them coming out hitting early.

 

Listening to Lowe and Simmons

 

Against a team who's been playing pretty well too. Not like they'd doing this against Brooklyn

 

How did Deron get called for Baynes taking him out lol? There is no way you are flopping there.

 

Annual rant about how NBA TV gets blocked out as "nationally televised" for league pass.

 

Ugh God, don't get me started

 

So you can't watch the game on the NBA TV channel because you have league pass?

 

I don't get the NBA TV channel (it costs extra for some stupid plan with a bunch of channels I don't want), but I have League Pass, so I can't watch it on League Pass because they consider it a nationally televised game akin to TBS or TNT or ESPN.

 

Pistons suck

 

Looks like the fake league pass preview ended

 

This Sixers-Warriors game has been a much better game than I expected

 

Sixers are going off in the 3rd quarter!

 

Watching Steph Curry miss multiple shots is very enjoyable and good

 

The Warriors are average without Durant

 

The warriors will get credit for coming back, but the Sixers lost this. So many missed free throws, travels, bobbled balls. Absolutely horrifying to watch when they should have easily held on to that 16 point lead

 

Warriors stink

 

Draymond falling into the Sixers player that wasn't guarding him to draw a foul is why I don't like them. Some call it being savy, I say it's getting bailed out by a ref.

 

Would've loved if Barnes failing on that dunk cost them the game. Run out the clock you moron, stop trying to be flashy

 

He is not a smart player. Rather than attempt a contested dunk, dribbling out and passing wins the game. For being a veteran, he is not the most aware player haha. Between him, Zaza, Draymond, Curry and his shoes, its like all of the players I don't like. I wish Klay and West would bust out of there.

 

Dario Saric is good and that Ringer article about how Simmons will need to fit in with Saric instead of the other way around is 100% correct
