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

yeah if youre built like josh jackson youre gonna dominate the mortals youre playing against basically until u get to the nba when suddenly everyone is a 6-7 elite athlete

Ya and confidence and ‘drive’ (self motivation) seem to be hard for scouts to scout. Like these kids are used to being ‘the guy’ and being clearly the best on whatever team they play on so how will they respond to sucking as a rookie or being in the doghouse or w/e.

you’d just think a 23 year old well meaning assistant coach would be like hey bud maybe don’t shoot in a way that is extremely fucked up it’ll cause u problems down the road but I guess said coach would lose his job bc this country is v v dumb

Yah don’t criticize the kid or they’ll pout and bounce to another program that panders to them

steph and klay having nba dads and being two of the greatest shooters ever is p interesting

not every nba player can coach but they all can prob teach skills better than any lower level coach, especially if youre 10 and have to listen to them

Athleticism, speed and height still trumps skills in the aau system.

yeah these posts are key I think

lol smart bricks a dunk what a player man

i think he's the only player whose shooting % has no correlation with distance

lol

Rn it feels like the TWolves will get a nice seed in the playoffs and go tits up in 4-1 against any fairly decent opponent.

This looks like that Lebron move we were in arms about the other week except cp adds his little flare to it at the end

THIS Chris Paul pushoff is absurd pic.twitter.com/T4ZPZB5iYL

Yoooo dyingg. PJ Tucker forces game-saving turnover, CP3 comes running over telling him to inbound, PJ tells Chris Paul GTFOH go away 😩😭 pic.twitter.com/7zSR6speHv

happy new year to the best board in the world btw I love you dummies

Indeed! HNY

happy new year to my fellow hoops likers, may our enemies struggle and our teams thrive in 2018!

yes long live hoops

btw note which letter was left out of the teacher alphabet lol

Kyrie lol

hahaha

I think I've done a 180 on kyrie

growing into one of the great nba weirdos

he was all "man theres just so many things" as if he cld list jobs he wants to do all day, which he prob cldve

feel like kyrie shd take some time to backpack around asia in the offseason, stay in hostels, meet an israeli girl

lotta aussie girls out there, too

true and aussies are great ppl dont get me wrong but if u hang out with them youll end up getting bit by a monkey or falling down a waterfall, just as a people not a lot of appreciation for physical well being

rip steve irwin
btw, is kyrie saying he's not a buddhist, but if he weren't a baller he would be?

i believe so yes, also it wld be his job

hmm, interesting

Whole lot of stuff at Sixers practice today, but here is a little of Markelle Fultz playing 1-on-1 after practice. pic.twitter.com/vp0sdNli9u

3-pointer at :20....doesn't look good

he fakes a reasonable release point up around his forehead then actually shoots from his chin

lol IT2 falls on his hip 2nd trip down the court (he was fine)

couple nice plays

yeah looks like himself for the most part

still a very angry man who loves to do buckets

overheard a bron interview on integrating isaiah:

"he's been around for the last few months, obviously recovering, things of that nature"
