2017-18 NBA Season

[MJohnnyboy]

Spurs are washed up, they done.

It would be interesting if they did miss the playoffs they make a mutual decision with Kawhi to trade him. They are capped out and any other trade would weaken them, although i'd say the team that took on Kawhi would have to take on most probably Pau or LMA's bad contracts.

LMA's contract isn't bad. Pau is partially guaranteed $6.7M for 2019-20, so not too bad either. The contract I don't like is Patty Mills who is in the first year of a 4-yr, $50M contract.

Sixers currently in a massive meltdown

This is the craziest meltdown I have seen. 25 point turnaround and they are turning it over every possession

It's been their story the whole season.

They are immensely talented but their inexperience is going to kill them in the playoffs.

What exactly is philly paying Brett brown to do?

He still thinks he’s tanking?

[MJohnnyboy]

Shout-out to old friend Tyler Zeller. He looks like a great fit in Milwaukee.

No accountability there.  Hinkie died for everyone's sins.  If Holmes gets in and spurs a run, I TP myself.

Curious what hinkie has to do with brown not calling timeouts

The Celtics best chance of avoiding Cleveland is likely them falling to the #4 seed

Cavs could fall pretty low. They have been playing worse than the teams below them for months and finally are just about caught. Cavs could end up 6

I don't know.  And if the answer lies in a game thread, I may never know.

Or 5 or 6 seed too.  Cleveland as seed 4 through 6 would mean they'd likely win and have to play Toronto in second round.  Cleveland as seed 4 or 5 both seem possible...I haven't checked the standings to see if they could still end up the 6th seed but obviously it's unlikely.

Honestly I would give up the whole roster except for Kyrie for Giannis Haha...maybe in 4 years

LeBron James hasn't had an early playoff exit since he first left Cleveland.

Could that finally change this postseason?

This team is similar to his first teams in Cleveland. In Miami he had 3 legit stars. In Cleveland the second run he has always had Irving. This year the second best player is Kevin love trying to come back from injury.

Funny I just thought about those other Cavs teams...overpaid former stars as role players killed any roster flexibility trying to get there too quickly/win now. Came up short and were screwed.

Yup. Same thing.

Yes, they like him there. Able to contain Embiid. Not many centers can do that.

When is Love scheduled to return? IN time for the first round of playoffs?

[jpotter33]

Nance was easily the best addition for the Cavs at the deadline. He's a perfect system player off of Lebron and for the Cavs in particular with their lack of D. Would love to have him on the C's.
