2017-18 NBA Season

Keep an eye on the Nets. They have a chance!

Pacers routing the Bucks early in the 4th early in the 4th.  Oladipo with a really nice step back to beat the buzzer at the end of the 3rd.

Are the Bucks as good as we thought earlier in the year?

It depends how good you thought the Bucks were.  They’re a better version of last year’s team due to more experience, and they can beat anyone.  But they are also inconsistent and put up some real duds from time to time.  Their last several games have been:

Beat Wolves at home
Beat Thunder on road
Lost at Toronto in OT
Crushed Indiana at home
Blown out by Toronto at home
Beat Wizards on road
Now getting blown out by Indiana on road

That’s a tough stretch vs likely playoff teams.  They’ll come out 4-3.  Of course, the two games immediately preceding this were losses to Charlotte and Chicago.  And they beat Cleveland right before those bad losses.

So yeah, Milwaukee could be a dangerous team in the playoffs.  But they could also get bounced in the 1st round as a 4-seed, and are unlikely to earn any better seeding than that.  Similar to Washington in that regard.

Gerald Green is having another electric game. He's lost on defense like usual though.

Cavs getting murdered by the Timberwolves. I guess father time is catching that team up.

Wolves decimating the Cavs 71-47. Their defense is just beyond terrible and cannot contain the Wolves. It’ll be really interesting to see how they play against the Raptors in their upcoming game, who could present all kinds of troubles for this year’s Cleveland squad.

The overreaction from the Portland game seems humorous. They will definitely be up and down for a while

Wow, what a dirty, punk move by IT there. That was Andrew Bynum/JJ Barea level dirty.

He'll be suspended for a game or two in addition to that flagrant two call. What a d bag move. That was a straight throat shot to Wiggins.

This Cavs team lacks heart and character. They're getting completely punked out there losing by 40, and their body language is terrible.

[Vox_Populi]

IT has spent less than 4 months with Wade and he's already doing cheap shots?

[MJohnnyboy]

Did IT ever do something like that in Boston?

[celticsclay]

Cavs down 41 and IT got ejected

[DefenseWinsChamps]

Anthony Davis just rolled his ankle coming down from an alley-oop finish attempt. He was fouled on the play.

He was uninjured enough to shoot his two free throws, but then intentionally fouled Tolliver as the ball moved up the court so that he could limp off the court and go to the locker room to get checked out.

I'm not a hot take type of guy, but that rubbed me the wrong way.

[blink]

That looked like a pretty dirtbag move by IT.  Completely deserved to be ejected.   Lets see what his fine is going to be.  Cavs probaby don't care if he gets suspended because he is out every other game anyway.

That Cavs/Wolves game is just one loss for The Cavs but it should count as two! Wow, what a beat down.

Cavs/Wolves 67-102 is a 35 point lead at the end of the third.

Yeah, that was a pretty Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ty move by IT. Pretty surprising for him imo.
