billionaire techbros club - 2016-17 NBA regular-ass season thread (the first of a series)

i give that at least a 60% chance of happening btw

i just looked at the roster and forgot how completely fucked the frontcourt is beyond bropez and rondae hollis-jefferson

luis scola yall! anthony bennett!

if they trade lopez they're the worst team probs unless embiid evaporates into steam tonight when he attempts to walk onto the court for an actual nba game

i can't think of a better answer than this

maybe jeremy lin but i htink he might be better than rose at this point

Rose is a good answer but it could also be one of the bogdanovic bros or teletevic. maybe Lou Williams?

yeah feel like point guard chucker on a bad team is the way to go (doesnt need anyone to pass it to him)

Lou Williams and bojan were correct answers last year

also Kobe lol

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Most NBA observers probably wouldn't label Derrick Rose as elite at this stage of his career. But Rose believes he fits that description and that it's only a "matter of time" before he shows it to others.

Rose was asked after Knicks practice on Monday if he wants to show this season that he still is an elite point guard.

"Yeah, but I know I am," he said. "That's no surprise to me. It's only a matter of time until I put it together. All the hard work I put in, everything how I dedicated my whole life to this game, what I sacrificed. It's only a few that did it and that's doing it. So it's all about just putting it together."

watch, there will be some game where the knicks are in some shootout with let's say the bulls, and rose decides it's time to prove his bonafides and he'll score 41 and lead to knicks to a 1 pt loss.

schroeder got a 4/70m extension

wow @ the strides Simmons took to get that blk

damn thats evan turner money xp

yeah that's a crazy contract

this mavs lineup, o boy

the audio is desynced on the reborn celtics feed >:(

that quarter was... not good

it's out of sync on mavs home feed too ugh
Xp

on the plus side, the pacers in house entertainment just now is a baby race

looks like all the streams are desynced right now, weird it was working half an hour ago

Simms had so many transcendent moments in tht game, my god

judging from a quick twitter search its a league pass not a reborn problem (reborn is just int. league pass)

yeah i checked a few other stream sites and they were all desynced so its leaguepass

wtg nba smh

i think they just fixed it

celtics offense is pretty nice

jaylen brown scores his first nba points 3 seconds into his career :)

just a lil warning u all r going to like this guy

some of the mavs second lineups are fun - Powell, Anderson, barrea, acy, and i think curry is small fast and reasonably athletic. right now a bunch of jittery dudes who aren't playing super well, but i could see it against some benches

Early 2nd quarter minutes so it's probably experimental

horford just lead the break ran past three nets and made a perfect bounce pass through traffic in the lane btw everyone

anyone who thinks dray green is in his league is dum as heck, al can play the whole season at center too

i'm watching heat vs magic and folks neither of these teams look good

i didn't really pick up why some people were high on the magic coming into the year. their roster is so mismatched and haphazard.

who was high on the magic? that roster sucks.

i admire scal for abandoning a promising coaching career to become a broadcaster, good lazy move

btw yeah it's the nets but the celtics could have a lot of ways to bother teams with their second unit

ya theyre even deeper than last year

who was high on the magic? that roster sucks.
