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

idk wtf the opposite of a jinx is but i just fucking did that

think the scored 12 or 14 straight to win the game

so basically, the spurs were down by 11 with about 5 minutes to go and dallas decided they already won the game and settled for contested jumpers all the way down the stretch and lamarcus hit some clutch shots then manu played wes matthews on the mavs' inbound with <24 secs, spurs got the ball back, manu layup ftw

that wes matthews failure to inbound was a great result of the NBA cutting back on timeouts.

it was great, the end of this game was very tidy. couldve been a trench warfare timeout-a-thon and instead it was exciting and over quick

it was exciting and over quick

ahem, that's...what she said

lol

but for real that's happened in quite a few games ive watched this season. coaches that take all those 'momentum killing' timeouts early in the game often pay the price later.

nothing was worse than the 'see what formation they line up' right before we inbound then call another timeout thing.

suns beat minny in minny without their best player. Len w 12-19-6-2-1 in 28 minutes. Bender hit five 3s.

wolves wore their highlighter jerseys

minnesota somehow is playing exactly how good i thought they wld and are hugely disappointing

I didn't even think they were a lock for the offs though they'll probably cruise in with the clippers and grizz being bad

Everybody trashed those neon wolves unis but

I like the

*them

nothing was worse than the 'see what formation they line up' right before we inbound then call another timeout thing.

skipper out http://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/21804776/john-skipper-resigns-espn-president

seems like a dumb move by the nets to publicly shame okafor like that, give him a few minutes while he gets in shape whats the big deal

full quote is not very inflammatory. he prob just had to respond to questions from the darn media:

“I talked to Jahlil, had a great conversation with him. The plan going forward is a couple things. We need to help him get in better condition, that’s first off,” Atkinson said. “We need to integrate him more into the system. It’s going to take some time. I’m not going to give you a date but it’s a strategic plan, just like we’ve done with all our guys, integrating guys into the team. It’s going to take some time.”

things are getting a lil messy at espn aren't they

yuup

interesting timing with the just announced disney fox merger too

espn will be replaced with The Basketball News
