OT: 2017-2018 NBA Season Thread

[CardiacAndre7]

They need to trade for a secondary scorer or something, no other go to shot maker on that team.

 

[tzznandrew]

Jaylen Brown tonight...

Jaylen Brown tonight...

He has to be in the conversation for MIP AND DPOY

If that guy learns to shoot FTs and make a couple more assists, he's a perennial all-star. Absolutely an elite defender. And his scoring is really coming along.

He just turned 21. Tatum-Brown-Irving are going to be so good together. If they pick well with the LAL/SAC pick coming up...wow.

Andre just ate KAT up in a come-from-behind 100-97 Pistons win on the road. Andre finished with 20/16/4 as well as a steal and 2 blocks on 8/15 FG, 4/5 FT. KAT went for 16/9/3, no steals or blocks on 6/13 FG, 2/2 FT.

In the 4th quarter Andre had 8 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and held KAT to 2 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist as the Pistons rallied from 84-73 down for the win.

Huge, huge performance from our guy.

He's gone from Stud to Overrated back to Stud. The Pistons wouldn't have gotten anything good for him this off-season; his star had fallen. Now look what he's doing.

 

[superjohn]

That's a big win for the Pistons, this was destined to be the road trip from hell for them.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

He needs to do this. He needs to start getting consistent 18-20 point games to further his game. He’s already the best rebounder in the league and a much improved defender, offense
is his next step towards absolute stardom.

 

[Matrim55]

Look at this man pass the ball:

 

[FartMan69]

Who was that clown-ball who said Jaylen Brown was an awful pick? Need him to be exposed.

[James]

Napier looking like a 6th man of the year candidate recently, hopefully he can stay healthy because stotts is giving him lots of minutes.

 

[aceboon]

Bazz with 16 through 3, will probably play important minutes in the 4th with Dame hobbled with an ankle injury

Celts have to spot every team a double-digit lead

Celts have to spot every team a double-digit lead

Its like they do it on purpose.

 

[husky429]

Call me a flat earther.

47 pts on 72% shooting. 71% from 3. 6 assists.

Talk about clutch. Kyrie is an iso god. The man scores at will. All other teams can do is try to tire him out

Could very well be the MVP hes got a very good shot at it, if the Celtics win 60 games hes lock for MVP.

I don't see it, personally. My gut says Harden has it in the bag this year, if only because he's been so close for so long

Yeah I could see that, guys a can't see are Curry because of the team hes on and he shares the ball with KD, Lebron partly because hes a victim of his own success, Kwhai because hes hurt and like Curry the team hes on.

 

[superjohn]

And Drummond follows up a great game last night with 8 and 8 as the Pistons lose to the Cavs by nearly 40. He should never have those type of games anymore.

Harden's stats are way better and his team is going to have a great record as well.

I'm probably in the minority with this opinion but I hate this Celtics team and the fact that Boston fans of all people appear to have stumbled into a perennial contender for the next decade + is nauseating.

Well Boston has been the most successful sports city this century soooooooooooooo are you not used to it yet?

Sounds like that Haterade isn't going down too smoothly.

Yeah, you're actually in a pretty tiny minority. Even if most non-Celtics fans think this team is overrated (of course it is), virtually all of them think the team is fun as all hell to watch.

As to MVP, Kyrie's gonna have to do what he did last night a bunch of times, and the Celtics probably need the best or second best record in the NBA. Harden's the clubhouse leader and Kyrie has a lot of ground to make up.

 

[the Q]

No love for al horford in here? Guy is one of the top contenders for DPOY right now.

Man I wish smart could shoot...all that work over the summer and he just can't get it going.
