aujeff11 6,243 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) NBA season starts tonight. The best time of the year is upon us sports fans: MLB playoffs, the NFL and CFB are in full swing, and the NBA will now fill the mid-week gap. Lets discuss potential NBA champions other than Golden State, bicker about super teams, trashtalk Lebron groupies, and hug it all out in the end.

aujeff11 6,243 Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Gordon Hayward is more than likely out for the season after a brutal injury just 6 minutes into his C’s career. Major Eastern Conference implications already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubearcat 2,137 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I really like The Jet. His analysis seems more informed than either Barkley or O’Neal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFE12 9,191 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Rockets look foreal this year. Harden playing like an mvp and CP3 too. Do they go all the way or does the NBA have other plans?*wink wink* *nudge nudge* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James doesn't have to do it all... Same for CP3. I think the powers that be will control whatever happens as always. Golden State more than likely wins again...KD is a lowlife.

Are you hating on the MVP Giancarlo Stanton going to the same Yankees team that was one win short of the WS? I have more of a problem with Draymond Green.

I don't follow baseball like that...Did the Yankees beat them in the playoffs? I don't like that he went a team that beat him and didn't give Russ a heads up. Then there's the whole super team thing...GSW goes to another level in the playoffs and they are dang near unstoppable. Some calls in the one game that the cavs won in the finals was suspect and it took them making a gaudy amount of threes. Hopefully it can at least be interesting in the playoffs.

No. Though in regards to KD, KD and OKC were up 3-1 before the comeback. It’s not like KD was scared shitless during the series and went running to daddy. I think KD’s move was more of finding a better place to achieve his own personal goals a lot easier than running away from his enemy. He was a free agent; he had as much freedom to choose where he wanted to go as any other free agent. Circumstances do not change that. In Stanton’s case, he was the MVP that bolted for the wealthiest and one of the strongest teams in the league with his signature. The Yanks essentially are a super team now with him and Judge. The Yankees already led Major League Baseball in HRs and were only second to the Astros before adding the 59 HR slugger. As far as the KD- RW dynamic, I can understand why RW would be upset but he’s got to remember that it’s still a business. KD has said the right things regarding the two since the split , and really, it’s time for both to move on. Last season, RW became triple-double king and won MVP while KD won finals MVP. Really it is a win-win for everybody as neither would’ve earned their awards if both were still at OKC.

WFE12 9,191 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Man it freaking sucks seeing Demarcus Cousins tear his Achilles. He was headed for a playoff appearance and one of his best seasons. Pelicans needed one more solid wing and they would make noise in the playoffs and give the Warriors a tough time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the injury live. That injury will hurt the Pels, but realistically their guard play isn’t up to par for the playoffs environment. I’m calling it now, the dubs aren’t winning the championship. All Star game notes: To make sure the ASG is competitive, the players on winning team between team LeBron and Team Steph collects 100,000 each. I guess the NBA wised up after seeing such a NFL Pro Bowl flop. Edited January 29, 2018 by aujeff11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubearcat 2,137 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Really not that much to discuss imo. He’s a top 20 or so player and both teams are middling at best. It’s not nearly the shakeup trade of Kyrie for Thomas. It’s just a meh. Biggest part of the equation is that Griffin is probably the best player to come through the organization via the draft since... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubearcat 2,137 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 As a side note, I believe, right now, the Celtics is the only Eastern Conference team that can run with the West. They still have the option to add a maximum veteran because of the exception given because of Hayward’s injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will sell more jerseys but Detroit isn’t a destination city and Griffin won’t be able to attract star FA’s. 7 hours ago, aubearcat said: As a side note, I believe, right now, the Celtics is the only Eastern Conference team that can run with the West.

I’m not a Lebron fan but I respect his ability to be able to make it to the finals and compete. They always have a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a snooze compared to the nba trades. Nba is just a lot more fun and exciting league to discuss. NFL is like a cbs procedural episode. Same ish every freaking season. The NBA has so many new and different plot twists and turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
