2017-18 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD PART 1 ALL OF AMERICAS FAVORITE TEAMS ARE BACK

yeah feels good

kyrie starting to get in the flow still too much iso, holding the ball tho

i'm still getting a feel for kyrie's game and trying to figure out how much of it is getting deep into the clock so he can do weird crafty bullshit.

not so sure about smart’s shot selection there

i did not think the c's had this one back in the 3rd, great execution down the stretch and a couple of marcus smart winning player(tm) plays for those of us who track those

giannis line in a game where he looked largely contained for the majority of it: 28-10-7. normal player

yeah hes gonna put up some numbers this year, most unstoppable fast break player since bron

I think he had 2-0-0-0-0 in the first 10 minutes xp

I feel like I haven’t seen the blazers run a play for nurkic all year

beginning to think hoodie melo was a devious viral marketing campaign, all the teams are wearing these hooded nike warmups

Same I used to think it was just what happened when bron would occasionally do that thing he does when he uses about half a shot clock and then kind of desultorily dumps it off to the second banana and backs up a few steps and just checks out of the play (he would do it to wade sometimes too)

But now I kind of think it's kyrie playing a mind game because he knows he can make impossible shit happen in three seconds and he's just going to maximize the time available for his man to make a mistake

I got a Nike marketing email about warmup hoodies the day before the season started and just laughed cuz we all got played

You know I don't mind the ad patches as much when they're a uniform color because then I pretend they are in memoriam patches

So the Kings are in a season of mourning for almonds, rip almonds

no one told me about almonds, damn

lol

RIP

20-9-5 in the first half for cousins

it is his revenge for he so loved the almonds

but theyre getting roasted

evan turner is semi earning his contract so far this year

man great game

lol stotts vs doc drama continues

BLAKKKKKKKKEE

game winner 3 pointer at the buzzer

Blake please I beg you don’t do this

Blake? harrumph!

attention ciderpress, looks who's in first place in the east:

http://scores.espn.com/nba/standings

41-23 tonight for boogie it’s a crime he has to play with this roster

can we talk about gallo's haircut

I like the play design on that Blake shot

They were getting that shot 100%

that great block in the open field by beverly didn't hurt either

so $2 billion+ is the new normal for nba teams huh

sucks i only have one billion

As the Suns seek a new home via trade for Eric Bledsoe, they've explored trying to move Tyson Chandler in the same deal, league sources say

this feels pretty unsatisfying for both teams

that's a lot of salary to move. chandler/bledsoe for faried/arthur/mudiay would work. milwaukee would have to send back both their mediocre PFs for it to work.

or monroe but i don't think i would move him rn honestly.

im sure they wld rather keep him but are the suns gonna want all those years of overpaid power forwards prob not

suns cld prob get a pick for bledsoe but prob not if they insist on packaging chandler, seems like itd be better to get the pick since youre only going to save 1 year of chandlers deal anyway

trade bledsoe/buy out chandler imo

yeah

only reason to buy out chander is if he asks for it though and so far he's been content to just teach the youngens

Isn't lebron Bledsoe's agent, bet they try to keep him in the west

Or maybe ship him east so he's out of the west when lebron goes next year

I mean not lebron personally but rich paul

rich Paul is Lebron tho

theres too many pauls and georges and lebrons

man the hawks are like a totally different team when John Collins is on the floor

rich Paul is Lebron tho
