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

pels scored 123 with 9 bench points that seems like an unusual ratio

pistons are wearing whites with the same color scheme as the clippers in staples i can't deal with this

years from now KAT walks up to the podium to finish his life's dream.... after a classy, gracious speech in which he thanks his family, God, Thibs, the coach who spurred him on to four NBA titles and three MVP awards, the late Flip Saunders...he paused... his eyes welling up..."You know there's one person I haven't thanked... one person who helped me on my journey in so many ways...KAT pauses again, clearly moved..... that's upper mississippi sh@kedown... when there were so many doubters on ilh, calling me soft, questioning my commitment to defense...he never stopped believing.....(sobs pointing into the crowd) he's right here.... stand up man....yeah.... this one's for you, dog.... this one's for you......

"most importantly, i appreciate m@tt's willingness to continue to follow and support my career after i left the timberwolves, a venerable but cursed franchise, to join the los angeles lakers"

i just got around to watching the fight from last night and these jerseys are irredeemable trash

celtics-heat was physical as hell both teams playing super scrappy kinda fun to have one of those games now and then, kyries doing a reasonable isaiah impression when bostons double digi lead was cut to 2 with 2 mins left he scored 9 straight points to ice it, heat r pretty impressive totally a team of cast offs that plays really hard

i've really come around on kyrie though i still think he looks like he's 35

Embiid is a turnover machine. Averaging almost 5 a game in limited minutes...

he cld use a lil more discipline to his game altogether, just out there operating on talent doing whatever

but hes played like what 35 games

Yah I guess that just seems super high for a scoring center.

its insanely high def

I guess Sabonis is good.

I think Willie Cayley-Stein is low key not good

iPhone corrects cauley to Cayley which seems presumptuous

he cld use a lil more discipline to his game altogether, just out there operating on talent doing whatever

tend to agree

R.I.P. Cavs

they had a good run

i had such high hopes

rip warriors

lol up 14 then down 10 they are bad rn

my prediction that my pistons are better than everyone expected is coming true (seventh time is the charm i guess)

drummond suddenly figuring out both free throws and defense helps a lot, not sure if its small sample or an actual improvement

my scapula unbalanced

if homeboys scapula unbalanced he cld like get it

lol

When Griffin arrived at Staples Center for his free-agency pitch meeting on July 1, he found the Clippers had erected something of a maze for him with temporary walls. Griffin walked his 3-year-old son, Ford, through the art gallery-style corridors, and found photos hanging at each turn: Griffin on his green Huffy bike with his brother, Taylor, when they were kids; Griffin playing in college; Griffin as a Clipper.

The maze spit Griffin out onto a couch overlooking the Staples Center court, above the lower bowl. Crowd noise pumped in. The team's public address announcer declared the Clippers were retiring Griffin's number. Team employees raised an actual banner into the rafters -- a vision of the future they wanted.

"It was a cool feeling," Griffin says. "It was very thoughtful. But I really wanted to hear their plan. I wanted to talk basketball." So he did, for two hours, with Rivers, West, Ballmer and Lawrence Frank, the team's president of basketball operations.

lol know your audience. that stuff seems so corny but idk i guess some guys eat it up?

also like... they were offering a max deal only they could offer to a guy w/ like 28 surgeries, i can't imagine it was much of a decision either way

Bogdan Bogdanovic seems good

strong rookie class for otherwise insanely talented players with broken jumpers

Porzingis seems he’s a top 10 player now

The Knicks look so much better with Jack in the lineup. The offense is crisp.

he's nothing special but he's a solid vet, helps stabilize a lot of things

Kanter/Zinger front-court is hella crazy levels of offense

kanter is a beast on the glass too

I believe in the Aaron Gordon thing at this point

yeah probably the most improved player ive seen so far this year.

they were playing him out of position all last year

lol at terry rozier taking over the game

breaking news the spurs need kawhi back they got no one who can create

further breaking news celtics r dope

celtics will win the nba playoffs

btw
