NBA 2017-2018 Season

[gunnar hendershow]

Pels have some really bad contracts and I'm worried it means we won't get Brow/Boogie to last because damn they are fun to watch.

[Tyrone]

Pretty good All Star selections this year, dig seeing Oladipo and Beal make it in. Also yay for Aldridge being back in All Star form

EDIT: Also delighted that Parker's handed the reins over to Dejounte, kid is special.

Dejounte is going to be really, really good.

[Pooker]

DeMarcus Cousins torn his Achilles tendon tonight and is done for the season.

[Tyrone]

Damn  Pels have really started to put it together lately and get players outside of AD, Boogie and Holiday to contribute, and now this happens. Feel really bad for Boogie, he was having an absurdly good year and the playoffs seemed like a real possibility.

[gunnar hendershow]

Boogie is just not allowed to make the playoffs apparently.

I hope they don't panic button and blow this iteration of the Pels up. You can make a good team around Davis and Cousins, just gotta scrap all those other crappy contracts!

[Maxx]

And there goes my undefeated fantasy basketball season 

[Monkey D. Lars]

First Boogie and now Roberson? Even though he isn't a star we damn gonna miss his defensive impact

[Pooker]

Clippers have agreed to trade Blake Griffin to the Pistons for three players and a couple draft picks.

[Tyrone]

I expect he'll be gone next, but I didn't foresee DeAndre outlasting CP3 and Blake in LA.

Considering his track record with injuries, the Pistons would be giving up too much for Griffin. But apparently, they're getting two other players, not just Griffin.

Neither did Mark Cuban

Good luck with that. He's got a max deal until 2022. He's moveable to a team desperate for that missing piece, but that's a small market.

EDIT - This was actually Blake's contract. He was unmoveable yet still got moved.

The Pistons needed to make this move. The team is stagnant. Bradley was not playing well, Boban is trash, and Tobias is good but not Griffins caliber. 

[Pooker]

The Jazz's City jersey is so ugly, the Warriors are too scared to play any defense tonight.

Kevin Love injured his hand tonight and is out for six to 8 weeks. Would love it (pun intended) if the Jazz could somehow pull off a trade for him. Derrick Favors, Rodney Hood, and our first round pick for Love. Would even throw in either Rubio or Alec Burks. Pipe dream, but could be a great move for the Jazz. And gives the Cavs a pretty good start if LeBron does leave this off season.

Also, James Harden with the first 60 point triple double in NBA history. Guy is amazing.

I have a completely different view of Harden based on the last two years with him playing point guard. He's an amazing scorer, that's obvious, but I questioned his defense and thought he was a ball-hog. He's just been an amazing PG for the Rockets, gets all his teammates involved and Gordon, Ariza, and Capela have benefited so much from playing with him.

Also, sad news:

Lol, another injury for Team LeBron. Though if this curse somehow touches Aldridge  

[Tyrone]

Isaiah Canaan just suffered a serious leg injury during the Suns/Mavs game. Avoiding looking at any footage, but the thought seems to be that it was pretty similar to Hayward's.

Edited February 1, 2018 by Tyrone

[JasonM]

Yeah I saw it in a game recap before I knew he got injured, Canaan went up for the layup and Wes Matthews went up to defend it. Canaan landed awkwardly and a few seconds later you can see the leg bent out of shape. It's pretty horrible, but compared to the Hayward injury it looks less terrible, no close-up of the injury either like with Hayward.

Fucking terrible shit, though. And there's no reason to watch it.

[Meacon Keaton]

I am 100% dead serious.

If LeBron opts out and joins the Warriors, I will never ever watch another second of the NBA. I'll be done forever and I won't miss it a bit.

The fact that he even admitted he'd be up for it makes me lose a lot of respect for the guy, and I'm not even a LeBron hater. But that's pathetic.
