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

tho i do understand why the cavs having been like one of the worst teams in the NBA perpetually w/o lebron would be acutely concerned about their life after him compared to i.e. the heat who will prob kinda do ok regardless

idk "torpedo your franchise for 4 straight Finals appearances and 2 rings" seems like a good deal to me. I'd do it in a heartbeat

hell I'd do it for one ring tbh

SO IT'S ALL WORTH IT

yeah def. whatever happens man that one ring is for real worth it.

also the drama is ~~~~entertaining~~~~~

*weeps silently*

I hope next year's team is better than this one was

truly one of the worst rosters of all time.

you guys weren’t kidding. that pod really laid out how dire things are in cleveland.

i'm not sure what GM exactly could solve the conundrum of bending to lebron's whims

windhorst made the point on lowe's pod that if you're the cavs, your #1 priority should probably just be to make lebron happy and make sure he stays, since he's a generational talent that you will never replace. if that means gutting the future, so be it. so in that sense it doesn't really matter if griffin is a good GM or not

btw windhorst is such a humorless, arrogant asshole, I find his whole vibe interesting. he and lowe have negative chemistry

Lol otm

lebron took kyrie. durant and westy on the same team

what if lebron goes to new orleans

god this is so much better than east vs west

Bron and Kyrie together and it feels so good

I have to know if love went last or if bron picked him

This is gonna be fun

that was nice of bron to take kyrie, now someone leak the selection order plz

oh it will happen

I hope next year's team is better than this one was

they both have very weird non-lol senses of humor and do better when bouncing off someone more charismatic.

xpost that team finished 18 games behind the 8th seed Indiana (37-45)

i never pod but i must admit i was so hungry for cavs drama that i listened to that one and lowe was way better than i thought hed be, comes across way less fussy than in his writing

He’s really improved! I think working w Rachel Nichols has helped loosen him up a bit

windhorst being so fucking srs abt cavs drama is kinda perfect he was crestfallen to see bron halfass it through a mid season game lol

ay so i ate dinner with my best friend davis bertans again. i mean, he was at the next table over, but we ate food at the same time, so he's gonna come over and we're going to watch my son flip between songs on the white album

btw it is 2018 and one of the spurs is a vegan who lives in my neighborhood and donald trump is president lmbo

grats man glad you found a good friend for life

thanks! :)

what was he eating

i was too bashful to look at his plate i was too busy shoveling pad thai in my mouth and talking o my family that i didnt notice

Kevin Durant confirmed he was LeBron's #1 pick today: "What, we gonna keep this a mystery?"

Cavs got vv lucky when Bron returned. I'm still not 100% certain the bulls have ever fully psychologically recovered from the Jordan/Pippen exodus and the subsequent Tim Floyd era.

my pointless best guess at the draft order is something like this:

L KD
S GIannis
L Brow
S Harden
L Kyrie
S Derozan
L Boog
S Embiid
L Russ
S Jimmy
L ZInger
S KAT
L Beal
S Draymond
L Wall
S Klay
L Dipo
S Lillard
L LMA
S Lowry
L Love
S Horford

thats weird because i think horford was the first pick

jus reverse it then

reasonable

its wldve been funny if they just picked the guys from their conferences

But also sad

now that this is done i finally see how cool of an idea it is

Would pay good money to hear that conf call w steph n bron

spottie i think your draft order is prob pretty accurate, tho i'm pretty sure i read steph got to pick first once the reserves started up.

ha love totally got picked last, by bron, because he had no choice

Yup

Ah yah xp clay

lol russ
