2016-2017 NBA SEASON: Crab walk vs Chef Wok the Threequel: The Return of the King

[Jem]

Those win numbers are accurate, they include wins in the playoffs in those seasons. They were all 50+ win seasons not including playoff victories. It may or may not be Dwight's fault, it's hard to say if Van Gundy and Otis stay without Dwight doing that shit. If they stay we very likely don't overhaul everything and start from scratch again. Van Gundy would still have been a better head coach than what we had the last few years even if we did still overhaul though. I do like Vogel who we have now.

I've seen a lot of Hezonja since we drafted him. He may be a good player but his attitude is god awful. I remember during a game a few weeks ago he got brought on and we immediately had to call a timeout because he forgot to tie his fucking shoelaces after sitting on the bench all game.

Your plan is what I wanted too but you have to remember we already did play all the kids constantly for the last few years. Vucevic was very frequently our oldest player on the court last year and he was 25. A lot of young players have seen a lot of minutes for us in the last few years and we were always missing a veteran presence. I think the only reason they changed that this year is because the GM knows he's fired if we don't make the playoffs this year so we added a few older players. Jeff Green, Jodie Meeks and DJ Augustin are the 'older' players who see minutes and they are our 7/8/9 in terms of minutes.

We still do have a young starting line-up that is getting plenty of minutes. Fournier (24 yo, 33.3 mpg), Ibaka (27yo, 30.5 mpg), Payton (22yo, 28.9 mpg), Vucevic (26yo, 28mpg), Gordon (21yo, 26.2 mpg), Biyombo (24yo, 25.8 mpg). Those are our 6 players with the most minutes per game this year. Sure, maybe they could get a few mins more per game but it isn't like they aren't getting significant playing time. The only 2 getting less minutes per game that their career average are Payton (down 0.8 minutes) and Vucevic (down 1.9 minutes). Hezonja is the only youngster we have who isn't seeing much playing time (8.5 mpg) but I am pretty sure it is all down to attitude. Skiles gave him minutes last year before phasing him out, Vogel basically isn't playing him until games are over this year.

Farewell C3PO.

[Siccmade]

Curry is going hard tonight, again. 36 at the end of 3...

JaVale McFool has been a great pickup and he provides some comedy, though not nearly as much as previous seasons which is good!

I had one word when I saw Korver going to the Cavs... Yikes.

[Vaspinne]

What did the Cavs give up for Korver? I haven't seen that posted anywhere =/

[Krandor]

Deal hasn't gone thru yet, but currently it's Mo Williams, Mike Dunleavy, and a protected 1st round pick.

[Serra]

Cavs getting rid of Mo Willliams?? Good! Too bad he has a ring now though..

[Vaspinne]

Ahh I see I see. I was wondering why Korver wasn't playing with them tonight. I thought it was already a completed trade.

[Cail]

Mike Dunleavy is still playing in the NBA? !

[Andalusian girls]

only in the loosest sense of the word

[tyven]

Just saw memphis came back from 24 down to beat GS in overtime? Who gets buckets for them? I didn't think they were a team capable of scoring runs

[kisada]

marc gasol and conley are so damn good, dude

[tyven]

marc gasol and conley are so damn good, dude

Right I just never think of them as guys capable of going on heaters. GUESS IM WRONG

[Cail]

Knicks team officials, teammates, and close associates unclear of reason why Derrick Rose not at tonight's game.

Supposedly he talked to Noah after the game and is back in Chicago.

Rondo benched tonight. Bulls are coincidentally doing a Rondo bobblehead giveaway tonight too.

Edit: Rose was there for morning shoot-around too. Really bizarre situation

[Krandor]

Sounds like he had some kind of family emergency. Not informing anyone that he was leaving was really fucking dumb tho

It's Derrick rose. He dumb

[Krandor]

Yeah I had actually forgotten about how dumb he is since he kinda faded into the background recently.

Boogie gets called for foul, punches/kicks a chair, gets a T.

Can't wait to see what puts him over the Amar'eeeeeeeeeeeeee line and makes him punch through some fire hydrant glass.

[Vaspinne]

So it looks like DRose had a mental breakdown and was considering taking a long absence from basketball when he bolted from the team and went home.

I mean, I'm not that surprised =/

[Moss]

hopefully someone else watched the Knicks-76ers for the Embiid v. Kristaps factor because it had a fucking awesome finish
