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

yeah good question idk maybe they do have to agree in order for the sportsbooks to use their trademarks or something

alert we are very close to m gasol demanding a trade

Grizzlies GM Chris Wallace announces in email moments ago to MVP season-ticket holders that Mike Conley will require season-ending surgery "to smooth a small bone protrusion" in his left heel. Conley is expected to make a full recovery ahead of training camp.

or maybe its just a deal to prevent the nba from mucking the whole thing up in court for years xp

yeah i think it’s like “we’ll give this our blessing and not fight it legally, publicly, in congress etc for years”... 1 percent seems like a pittance really

that theory that the jersey patches were intended to be bought by sportsbooks all along in order to encourage a new category of in game betting was fun

i’m a little optimistic about demarcus’ recovering from the achilles only bcuz his game isn’t that predicated on athleticism and explosion. he sort of morphed it into that over time but even if he was just a bully in the post with a pretty good three point shot that’s still a really good player probably.

also i think it would be worth losing capela and ariza and whoever else to get lebron

cp3-harden-bron-pj tucker is about as close as anyone in the league could get to four players who could stand up to steph-klay-KD-dray

pj tucker huh

also worth noting that the harden-capela duo has long term viability past the warriors window, where bron-paul is strictly short term

i do think bron will still be good for a long time tho his ability to dominate will slip, maybe the move is to let cp3 walk and sign bron

lol the suns are fn incorrigible

Suns fans: Here's the story on my interview with McDonough. The big news: Phoenix's timeline is being moved up and Suns will be aggressive in free agency this summer. https://t.co/yyr8MYkghh

can't believe execs still think it's possible to just turn the corner on command in 2018

Oh no apparently big leg injury to Roberson wrapped up leg left on a stretcher. Slipped. Haven’t watched tho

lol

good game tbh

I fucking love gary harris

congrats to the warriors for finally getting by the boston celtics

thankS to THE DAMN REFEREES

lol u mad

good internet meme from 10 years ago KEVIN

wow actually getting mad online is timeless joe

um im actually not mad online im mad at tv and talking about it online theres a difference

seems like you might be expressing your displeasure online just a thought

nuggets wim :) they will likely make the playoffs

damn right im displeased im displeased at the refs letting bum ass draymond green poke beautiful kyrie in the eye then come down the court and deliver a forearm shiver to baynes chest while jumping into him and both plays resulting in a total of two fts for the warriors, and missing like 5 more warrior interior fouls in the 4th, also having to look at disgusting counting crows guy on the sideline

but also if marcus smart hadnt punched a framed picture in a hotel room because some instagram model aired out his business the celtics wldve won too, hes very key to defending steph

btw smart injured his hand punching a wall on the same day last year which is kinda odd

Adam Duritz looks like he's wearing a Halloween costume of himself

Really hoping we get a dubs/celtics finals.

any reasonable estimates on haywards return?

that roberson injury was scary, i've never seen a guy's body move through the air like that

also worth noting that the harden-capela duo has long term viability past the warriors window, where bron-paul is strictly short term

capela is a good player but he's not this good

good enough to still be playing when the unbeatable team doesnt exist

any reasonable estimates on haywards return?

naw the celtics have been very careful to never even say hes coming back this year, the initial assessment by 3rd party experts who are familiar with that injury was 5 months which wld put him a couple month out now

Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens reiterated that he doesn't expect Gordon Hayward to return this season. 😞 https://t.co/hJ2h2mtM4K

this guy is such a fuckin phony

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/22235131/isaiah-thomas-cleveland-cavaliers-says-not-responsible-team-defensive-woes

also....he got his name because his dad was a Lakers fan who lost a bet??

Thomas was named after former Detroit Pistons Hall of Fame point guard Isiah Thomas when his father, James, bet his friend that his favorite team, the Los Angeles Lakers, would defeat the Pistons in the 1989 NBA Finals (which the Pistons won in a four-game sweep). Even though the younger Thomas ended up being born months before the Finals took place, James had already warmed to the name. However, his mother, Tina Baldtrip, insisted on spelling it Isaiah, as she desired a biblical name.[1][2]
