    NBA 2016-17 Season Thread - Knicks in 6

    For starters, I heard Steph say it two weeks ago when he said Splash Brothers with their second title. How are they not sold on locking him up long term? They locked him up to a four year extension three years ago. He's absolutely the ideal SG to be a second or third option on a team. These...

    Livingston did re-sign for a deal though. 8 years 24 mill. It sounds like Iguodala is not down with giving a deal though. Livingston, whose career earnings were probably more than halved due to his catastrophic injury, was fine taking a discount to stay even though he had every right to try...

    Yeah, not a fan of Rubio, but I'd be less than excited about replacing him with Teague. Would have rather taken this season to see how much improvement there is with Butler added, try to get the best playoff seed possible, then would still have had the option of trading Rubio next year to try...

    Wouldn't be next year, Klay is signed til 2019. But yeah, there's a real chance he goes to the Lakers then no matter how much his dad or anybody says he isn't going to leave. They're going to be able to throw a lot more money at him, obviously LA allure and nostalgia for him, maybe the chance...

    Of course its understandable from the Rockets perspective, it does make them a little better. But I don't get it from Paul's perspective. You'd figure he wants to finally win, and joining the Spurs would have been such a great fit for him to have that chance. The value of his half court play...

    CP3 to Houston deal agreed on. Just glad he's not going to the Spurs. Kind of a weird choice for him to want to go to the Rockets. He thinks they can win something with the typical D of D'Antoni teams?

    This awards show is horrible, not sure why I'm watching. It could be worth it though if Kawhi somehow wins the MVP by getting all the vote of those who love winning 2-way basketball while Harden and Westbrook split the ball hog stat-padder fan vote.

    I'd just call Lebron my PG, Butler at SG, Giannis SF, Kawhi PF, AD. Yeah, Giannis can't shoot, but with that D and his other playmaking abilities it wouldn't matter. He'd kinda be the Draymond of that offense.

    Pretty happy the Warriors were somehow able to get Jordan Bell without even having a pick in this draft, same as they got McCaw last year.

    Really surprised by that. I've never been high on De'Angelo, but he's still young and has upside for a #2 pick. Giving up on him so soon just to use him for a salary dump is horrible. I'd be so angry if I were a Lakers fan. At the least you'd think they could have used Russell to get George...

    No it isn't. In Lorenzo Romar's tenure the past 15 years they've ranged from average to very good with multiple Sweet 16 appearances. This was the worst record they've ever had under him, and the only significantly sub-.500 season since his first as coach. I watched a fair bit of them this...

    So satisfying. Haters can eat a dick. The NBA made this happen. Said on page one of this thread what the result would be and enjoyed the fuck out of it. Cavs made the Warriors earn it. Don't think there's ever been 4 better performances in one finals than we saw from KD, Steph, Lebron, and...

    So speaking of bitch moves, Lebron had his people call the NBA league office after game 4 last year to get Draymond suspended because he knew he was going to lose the series without some sort of momentum shifter. It doesn't get more bitch than that.

    The guy who was a 29-year old superstar in his prime, arguably 3rd best player in the league at the time, and who as far as Lebron knew would be healthy for the next 4+ years so that they could wreck the league together. You made a point about Durant's initial move not being competetive, don't...

    So when Lebron joins up with the 2nd best player in his conference its ok, when Durant does it he doesn't like competition. Got it. Lets not pretend Lebron wanted competition. He knew damn well that that team was going to make the finals every year, and he thought it'd be enough to win it all...

    Seriously though, not sure I've ever watched a finals game with a higher level of play than we saw in that one. I was fully prepared to concede that game and say Kyrie and Lebron were just too much tonight. It was very physical for a game with that much scoring. A lot of good D was played...

    I'll be surprised if Curry signs a supermax anyways. We've already heard KD is willing to take less than a max to stay. I don't see a situation where Durant takes a discount and Steph doesn't.

    I think this was the second time two guys had triple doubles in the same finals game? And honestly, this may have been the best game Lebron has played against us in the finals the last 3 years offensively. He's had games with bigger numbers, but he was really efficient tonight and going to the...

    Wonder Woman (2017)

    8.5/10 As good, maybe better than any solo marvel movie, just a step below GoTG1 / Avengers 1 because it lacks that larger cast of interesting characters. Gal Gadot was a complete bad ass as Wonder Woman in this. The intro section was good, the action awesome, and the story felt pretty epic...

    He can get his own shot. He's a 6'7 guard that can shoot over the guys guarding him a lot of the time. Lol at saying he's not an all-star. He's been in a slump, no doubt. But there aren't many shooting guards in the league you take over him. He carried the Warriors through the first few...

    Serious, Klay easily had a better season than Derozan and in no situation would I ever take Derozan over him. Klay pretty much had the same season this year as he did last year, he's just been bad shooting the ball in the playoffs. Still plays the D though. Enjoyed the fuck out of that game...

    It'd be most accurate to say the east is bad because Lebron has been joining up with the best talent he possibly can from the East for the last 7 years. Joined a top 3 player in the league (from the East) and a top PF in the league (from the East) in 2010. When Wade started showing his decline...

    I'd be very surprised if they looked to ship him this summer. He's had a bad shooting playoffs, but he still plays the D and always has the potential to go off for 30+ without needing the ball in his hands a lot. Time and again we see that the Warriors org rates Klay higher than most fans. A...

    Man. Playing with his band that he created 27 years ago in tribute to the passing of his friend Andrew Wood, a song in tribute to Layne Staley just 6 months ago. You can see him share a moment with McCready, who was also in Mad Season with Staley.

    Cornell wrote all the Audioslave vocals but the songwriting process was totally collaborative. He took the lyrics into the studio, and they'd all sit together and create songs around them over just 2-3 weeks for every album.
