    NBA 2016-17 Season Thread - Knicks in 6

    Popovich is for sure the greatest NBA coach ever, and most of the time the things he says make sense. But he's a hypocrite on this for being ok with Bruce Bowen making a career out of wrecking dudes ankles in much more blatant fashion as a member of the Spurs. Zaza's past transgressions to...

    Its good I can look back on these moments now and say if not for those the Warriors wouldn't be where they are today. Lets not forget the Warriors could have drafted KG in the first place but took Joe Smith #1 that year. Interesting thing about Chris Cohan (one of the worst owners ever)...

    I'm fine with it. Warriors owe the Spurs some payback for decades of getting beat down, and we don't have to watch Harden flop around for 5 games. Looking forward to a good series. Spurs are going to have to have some role players play well to have any chance. Jonathon Simmons had a career...

    Harden just looked at what lied ahead. Win that game, he has to make another trip to SA. Probably lose that one, but on the off chance they would have won, what's the reward? Get eliminated but the Dubs for a third year in a row. He's like nah, I'll start my vacation now.

    The Warriors were an entertaining pile of garbage for decades. They're only in this position due to 3 great draft picks which included some kindness by the likes of the Wolves and Kings for picking guys like Rubio, Flynn, and Jimmer ahead of Curry and Klay. The Chris Paul to Lakers situation...

    Right, because OKC traded Harden for nothing, a year lost to injury, an inefficient superstar teammates to have to play with in Westbrook, and above all having a tougher path to get to the finals every year than Lebron does. If KD had been on superteams in the East for the past 7 years and...

    No idea how the Dallas series should have been a win.. Yeah, on paper Miami should not have lost with their super team against an aging 1-star team. That type of shit doesn't happen in the NBA. But Dallas was clearly the better team, Dirk was the most dominant player of those playoffs, and I...

    LOL. Should be 1 and 5. Injuries are not a reason to say he should have won a finals. They happen, and most of the all-time greats may have missed out on title chances due to them. But its fucking stupid to say if Irving and Love were healthy that they would have won. Who knows. Irving...

    I wouldn't vote for him, as I've watched almost every Dubs game this year and he just wasn't consistent enough (and I thought KD was the Warriors MVP for the first half of the season or so). But this is an interesting article making the case for Steph in comparison to the other candidates with...

    You lost me at the Jordan comparison. In terms of being a physically gifted freak guard with a relentless motor, sure. But he's so much less efficient than Jordan. While Westbrook is not the horrible level defender that Harden is, he's not exactly great. I'd call him an average defender...

    ALSO has zero-all star teammates. I'm saying that neither guy has a great cast to work with. How are Harden's #'s not every bit as crazy? Because he's not going out of his way to get two extra rebs per game? Their numbers are basically the same except that Westbrook averages two more rebs...

    Not really. Westbrook having an impressive finish to the season which may put him over the top, but Harden's overall season resume is still more impressive to me. Also has zero all-star teammates, putting up numbers every bit as crazy as Westbrook while being a much more efficient scorer, and...

    No. Because when you draft a guy with a lottery pick because of his upside even though he has no skills, you can't really send that guy down to the D-League for extended stints. They're making too much money, you have to keep them with the team and hope they learn from the bench and practice...

    Jordan never had to lobby to the media and league to have his nemesis suspended in order turn a series he was otherwise going to lose. Lebitch is not Legoat. As was already mentioned, if the guy doesn't get a couple very lucky breaks he's 1-5 in the finals to this point. The only finals...

    Spurs keep teasing with near-losses and then winning in the last minute. It sucks. I don't know how you go down 28 in the first half at home to the Kings, but to do so and then come back without Kawhi and LA... why can't they just lose? Saturday is going to go a long way towards determining...

    Its the Star Wars equivalent of a horcrux. We find out in Ep 8 that Snoke = Palpatine = couldn't be killed because he bound himself to some bio hexacrypts! Ep 9 is Rey and her cohorts running around trying to find and destroy all the hexacrypts before killing Palpatine once and for all.

    No, I believe what they said is that these type of stars (including this one) are very active when they are young and it would have been rough on the planets at that time. But if they survived that active period ok, the star is now and will basically forever be quiet.

    Thing is, the Kings are in a poor position to start a rebuild. I think the Sixers may actually be the biggest winners of the trade. They have the right to swap picks with the Kings this year, a Kings pick that suddenly has a much better shot to hit a ball for a top 3 pick. They also have the...

    If the Sixers get a top 3 and the Lakers fall out of the top 3 that should be the scariest assembly of young talent since OKC before they dealt Harden, and could potentially end up better. But then there are a couple other teams with great young talent that you could say the same thing about...
