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

[Vaspinne]

Honestly lotto needs to go anyway. Only encourages tanking.

They could follow the NHL's route and just spread out the odds more of who can get into the top 3. This year the #1 overall pick went to the 5th place team, the #2 pick went to a team that was in 12th place and the #3 went to a team in 8th place. It was fucking awesome watching the silent despair and anger on the faces of GM's of teams that were fucking AWFUL all year not even get into the top 3. This year, the worst NHL team had more losses (56) then points (48) and they went from best odds of getting the top draft pick to dropping down to 4th lol

[Andalusian girls]

Lol that's pathetic. By that logic, warriors fans should be celebrating Zaza hurting Kawhi

If you're rooting for injuries you might want to rethink being a sports fan

if you root for anyone's injury ever in sports you're a cunt, you're a cunt now, you've always been a cunt, your mom's a cunt, your dad's a cunt, you have a cunt wife, with her you got some cunt fucking kids, and the only thing that's gonna change is you're gonna become an even bigger cunt and have some more cunt fucking kids

Hmmmm

Not even close to being the same. It looks like Durant was trying to sell it.

You ever heard of manslaughter? You still go to jail

[Dimmauk]

Remember that Bruce Bowen exists

I'm glad we can all agree that it was a dirty play 10 years ago, and it is now

Longhorns don't purposely hurt other longhorns. It's very frowned upon here in Texas

I was thinking about this, but that reduces the motivation to squeeze into the playoffs as the 7th or 8th seed if you're giving up a decent chance at a high pick

With the NBA and it's incredible lack of parity throughout the league this makes sense. I guess it works for the NHL as in hockey playoffs anything can happen once you're in

[Vaspinne]

Process is life.

[Cail]

LeBron, Harden, Russ, Kawhi, Anthony Davis named All-NBA 1st Team

[Cail]

Also,

Paul George did not make the All-NBA team announced Thursday, which means the Indiana Pacers will likely be unable to sign him to a contract extension this summer.

Had George made one of the three teams, he would have qualified for the new Designated Player Extension that is part of the new collective bargaining agreement that starts July 1. That designation would've allowed the Pacers to offer George the richest contract in NBA history and add up to five years and approximately $210 million to his contract.

That is about $75 million more than another team could guarantee George were he to sign elsewhere if he opted for free agency in 2018. This new provision was built into the system following Kevin Durant's departure from the Oklahoma City Thunder in free agency last summer.

[Cail]

The second team consisted of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Rudy Gobert, Isaiah Thomas, Stephen Curry and Durant.

Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, DeMar DeRozan, John Wall and DeAndre Jordan made the third team.

[Krandor]

Edit : disregard

[kisada]

i wonder if pacers feel bad about turning down atlanta's 4 first rounders. they should be able to get a much stronger haul than that, though.

[Moss]

No bones to pick with All-NBA besides DeRozan, even then he's only 3rd team

i wonder if pacers feel bad about turning down atlanta's 4 first rounders. they should be able to get a much stronger haul than that, though.

Unless he's willing to sign an extension immediately I'd be too worried for him to leave for the Lakers in a year. On the other hand, the Lakers should be worried another team takes the plunge and he decides to stay.

[archibaldcrane]

Also,

Gordon Hayward is in the same boat - if he had made 3rd team he could've signed a huge extension, but he didn't.

[Moss]

I can't decide if I want Hayward to stay with the Jazz or come to Boston to help give the Cavs some competition

[Siccmade]

The Kings got 5th and 10th, first time in the SAC era with 2 lottery pics. I wonder how impressively bad they can turn this scenario...

To add, as a Warriors fan I hated to see Kawhi go down. I love basketball and he plays the game RIGHT.

[Moss]

Ready for the finals! -_-
