Around The NBA:2016-2017

[spearsy23]

So today's had a 4 OT game, Indy beat Houston, Orlando beat Toronto, and Philly's in the midst of a 20 point comeback. Weird.

Coming in Houston had lost 6 of their last 10, Toronto 5 out of 6, and Chicago 6 out of 10 plus their dysfunction. Results seem weird but based on the way teams are playing it's not surprising. It seems like only the wizards and warriors are really clicking right now.

The mavs are about to beat San Antonio so nevermind, bottom feeders rise up.

I didn't think they'd do it, but looks like it.

Ibaka is just not the defender he used to be. He had a stretch where he looked great, somewhere between mid November and mid December, but apart from that he's been quite average (or worse) on that end. Given how terrible we've been this season, trading him now to get something for him before he wisely walks away from this dumpster fire of a roster in the summer is pretty much inevitable.

Ugh. Sorry to hear it, I knew he wasn't a good team defender but didn't think he'd fall like this. I think the knees really are an issue too.

What is it about the Thunder that bring out the best in the Cavs? They're about to lose to the Mavericks (down by 13 with 3 minutes to go in the 4th.

Their last 11 games they are 4-7 with wins over three of the worst teams in the NBA (Nets, Suns, Kings) and OKC. This will make four losses in their last six games, the only two wins coming against the worst team in the NBA and the Thunder.

We got a badly struggling Cavs team, who's been struggling with everyone (even in their wins), but they have two comfortable/blowout wins against us and the Nets, the latter of which is the worst team in the NBA.

I think this pretty much means that Hennigan is gone. That trade looked bad at the time and now it looks like one of the worst heists in recent memory. They can't recoup the value they lost back and if they wait, he can just leave. Probably will be a new regime at draft time for Orlando.

What is it about the Thunder that bring out the best in the Cavs? They're currently losing by 7 in the 4th quarter to the Mavs.

I'm convinced the Cavs/LeBron's team could lose 20 games in a row, play the Thunder in their 21st game, and they'd still win by 10-20 and follow it up with a few more losses. We have a knack for bringing out the absolute best in LeBron and his team no matter how badly they're struggling against everyone else.

1. We don't matchup well.
2. Up until this year LeBron liked to remind everyone he was better than durant.

OK, going to read now, but here's my guess: Reggie went full iso-Reg? I really thought they'd be better this year. I'm kinda over the whole Reggie thing and like KCP a ton and Drummond seems like a good guy. Still don't like RJ, but as a team I don't mind most of their players.

My work blocked it, and since I'm pretty much by myself all night I'd go crazy without it and Reddit. The poor optimization and Swype are also why half posts are barely understandable now

Wow he's worse than I thought. Might watch the replay of it tonight b/c I missed it earlier. Last year he was getting people calling him a top 10 PG...kinda never bought that. I went over there a whlie back and their fans are pretty cool but for their sake I kinda hope they trade him.

I like Detroit, I Just want to see them trade RJ and go on a big winning streak.

And i am just now getting over Vince quitting on Toronto, and I wasn't even invested in that situation so....

Same, and they're trying to trade him on the trade board too.

Well, to be fair, the Mavs, Anthony Davis-less Pelicans, and Blazers don't matchup well with the Cavs, either. That didn't keep them from getting in on the "beat LeBron and the Cavs" spree.
