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

not sure how i feel about this cavs team. feels weird to root for derrick rose. not really sure how wade fits in

i love having crowder, he's great, im eager to see IT in there too

they looked p bad last night tho thats to be expected with a ton of new players/missing the star they traded for, thooo on the other hand theres really no way the kevin love at center experiment can work defensively

on the other other hand keeping him nearer the basket will allow him to rebound more

and you cant be relying on bron all season to put up huge near trip dubs to barely win games via teams that punted the first half via emotional trauma from losing their newly acquired star to a gruesome injury

last night was weird. i drew m/l nothing from either game.

yea that was not good xp

could be that this is the season of stark existentialism but hard to tell from two games

early season is kinda meaningless, tho i dont think i saw anything to refute the logically correct assumptions 1. the cavs wont be that good without IT back at full strength 2. kevin love cant play center 3. the dubs depend on draymond defensively a lot

1st celtics rookie with an opening day double double since larry b #33

Portis 8 game suspension seems loooow

maybe the montenegrin apostle was asking for it

i'm afraid the injury coupled with the suspension puts a dent in the Bulls' playoff hopes, pretty disappointing overall

lol

Brett Brown says we could see Embiid’s mins limit rises fairly quickly. Mentions that if he’s being “greedy” 32 mins is the holy grail.

stoked for a big Bucks win tonight

greedy 4 the holy grail

Ben Simmons is a talented fellow

fultz's shot looks pretty ugly

tobias harris has 17 points in like 8 minutes ::shrug::

normal player

The Markelle Fultz free throw thing is one of the stranger NBA stories in a while

It seems like a really bad sign in general

There can’t be many hall of famers who spent their first offseason learning to shoot like chuck hayes

marcus smart still cannot shoot, even at 3ft from the basket

scrappy tho lol

jaylen brown is a delight

kyrie is really bad

Anthony Davis down grabbing his thigh

Already huh

He didn’t go to the locker room. He’s roughing it out. Country strong.

Kyrie is not a PG

Dennis Smith backdoor alley oop dunk on the first possession

it's time for "nuggets"

Kyrie is not a PG

he's been giving up the ball too much, they need to let him operate

def forcing it passing it when he shd be attacking and attacking when he shd be passing, brad will help him figure it out

he just played a great defensive possession. fought through two screens and got in a passing lane for a steal.

hes been notably effortful on defense through the 1st two games, still seems often unsound but effortful, celtics really need to work to get him open catch and shoot threes, they will shred on those looks

it's time for "nuggets"

u and me both friend

bill russell sent a hashtag to gordon hayward

nuggets announcer calls a blatantly stupid foul by plumlee a "good foul" lol

kyrie has been garbage this game they'd be better with rozier

f delly and his full squat three

i forgot ricky rubio was on the jazz now

too many players changed team s this year it shouldnt be allowed

lol you guys see the score of the pacers/nets game?

Dennis Smith Jr is an exciting fellow

Dennis Smith just got a rebound under the basket and calmly dunked it with two hands like he’s Barkley. He has short arms.

why is george hill on the kings

lamarcus just said "touch it" an uncomfortable number of times in that interview

dennis schroeder has taken 19 shots in 3 quarters!
