The Official Offseason 2016-17 NBA Thread: Waiting for Preseason

Them Rockets winning ugly but I’ll take it.

Whiteside was on the ground. Didn’t get up fast enough, and nobody rotated to stop Leonard.

Waiters has no business playing in these games. The guy killed momentum every time Miami got close.

Barkley said the Wizards are a playoff team, I wonder what he thinks of them now.

Randle gets close to 20/10 tonight, starting to see flashes of young Zach

Hornets fans are quickly becoming the corniest fanbase and you’re a prime example.

Liking the bulls plays so far. Will see if they can keep it up against a west playoff team.

Suns gonna Suns

at least we know now Dirk’s achilles is fine and it was just about some stomach issues …

James Harden is still a beast.

k.

Ugh…Curry been kinda quite…

KD straight up took over

Gobert just got paid more money than Whiteside, wtf.

Having the best player and the face of your franchise as a guy that’s only committed to offense and a coach who religiously omits defense is a recipe for disaster

You gonna catch the wrong team on the wrong night one of the games this season and I expect the nba record for points scored against a team to be broke

“The ghosts were all over me. I just accepted it,” Lakers forward Metta World Peace said. “They touched me all over the place. I’m taking one of the ghosts to court for touching me in the wrong places.”

Nuggets are going to be scrappy this year. Mudiay is gaining confidence and they have a decent bench, they still need to solidify the backcourt however

Mudiay is terrible atm and a big reason Denver lost tonight, he really needs to learn how to pass and shoot.

Blake has been taking/making threes and it’s crazy to see. Nobody could ever question this guy’s work ethic. Totally different player compared to his rookie season.

He’s improved on defence but playing defensive ball won’t ever be the Rocket way, it’s not how they’re built as a roster.

Harden had an incredible year last year and he’s off to a good start
