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

okay I've been laughing at the sidebar image of r/mkebucks for like three minutes straight

^boils down to the players believing certain refs have it in for them or for their team and the refs giving them too many grounds for that belief. also, lots of players put a lot of time and thought into learning how to foul surreptitiously and flop effectively, but every player gets angry when refs miss calls.

if the competition weren't so fierce, the tempers would cool down, but the level of competition is at an all-time high rn.

been waiting for that coach nick cavs breakdown.

the cavs overhauling their team in one last ditch effort to beat the warriors but then straight up not practicing seems categorically insane

taking in some of portland @ mavs and i think i had totally wiped harrison barnes from my memory

living the quiet life retired in dallas

cavs are good again btw

if they cn average 115 they shd be good

rockets were down 21 to the pellies late in the 3q, have tied it up with <3 mins to play. on ESPN

i can't believe the boogie-AD thing is actually working

oh my god boogie no

boogie b ok plz

if boogie blew his achilles i'm going to cry

this looks really bad

Oh no

yeah this is a little scary

looked like a roll at first but just kept seeming worse and worse and now i am sad

omg this game is such drama

he's maybe the most unique player in the nba this would be devastating

that's a bad, bad call

i can't remember the last time i've seen a ref call a non-shooting foul that far from the basket in a situation like that

game just getting dumber every play

oh it was before the shot which fucks the rockets pretty much. bad call either way.

This will now be a season-long “Kevin Love fed up” thread.

There's significant fear within Pelicans that DeMarcus Cousins' Achilles injury is serious. Initial diagnosis "doesn't look good," one source tells ESPN.

dang

if boogie blew out his achilles i will actualy cry

lookin that way

f the world

DeMarcus Cousins has suffered a torn left Achilles tendon, league sources tell ESPN. He will miss the rest of the season. The MRI is coming soon, but diagnosis is clear.

dammit, i'm not really a boogie guy but no one deserves a damn achilles

we live in a fallen world

agreed

was finally on a marginally functional team and in a playoff race for the first time too

pelis are cursed

this becomes a nasty decision for their front office as far as paying a guy coming off a very bad injury.

So sucky.

Careers and franchises can change in the snap of a finger. I was looking forward to seeing them in the offs. Think they couldve put a scare into some good teams.

this is also bad news for the clippers who won't do the smart thing and blow it up now bc they'll likely slide into the 8th spot

he's always gonna have warts that mar his game but he had grown into an absolute one of a kind player, the way his game had evolved at that size is not normal. big loss for the league imo.

yeah for sure

in brighter news lebron will prob have to bump love into his starting lineup for the allstar game now

That really sucks about Cousins

The Kevin Love tweets are amazing

IT doesn’t go through the starting lineup line 🤔 (via @cavs) pic.twitter.com/69cOlx4AvN

man IT is really up to some srs shenanigans

seems unwise in a contract year coming off injury!

cavs should absolutely ship IT2 the fuck outta there

yeah seems p inevitable at this point

you know who might be a good fit, the san antonio spurs

ha nah
