15-16 NBA Thread

[UMFan83]

Weird that I didn't see a thread created already.

 

The Warriors are really good and might beat 72-10.

[Cubswin11]

Curry is playing out of this world right now and the Warriors are so good and fun to watch, still don't think they will get to or pass 72. The West is too hard of a conference on top of I think the Warriors will value health for the playoffs vs topping 72 and will probably take the necessary measures to make sure guys are getting rested.

I did look at their schedule so far and they've played 2 game they've against the Clippers, Spurs, Rockets and Thunder. The Rockets game was a 20 points blowout, but the Clippers game was a 4 point win in Oakland.

Huh? They haven't played the Spurs or Thunder yet. They've played New Orleans x2, Memphis x2, Houston, LAC, Detroit, Sacramento, Denver and Minnesota. Not the hardest schedule in the world, only Detroit and LAC are over .500.

[Thurman Merman]

I think he was just channeling HCCF to point out that theyve only played 2 games against the best teams in the West.

The Warriors are amazing.

 

Clippers put up 41 in the first quarter and were up by 23 midway through the second quarter. The Warriors are -9 in turnovers tonight and -21 in points off turnovers. And yet they're going to leave LA with the win.

Luke Walton can coach, bro.

[Ryne Ween]

I really hope the Bulls can get a win in GS tonight.

 

For some reason I hate this warriors team. I think it's cause I hate dramond greens face.

Yep, if you don't like watching them play then you're not much of a basketball fan. They really are fun.

Well I'm not, Doug.

Coming into today, Steph Curry has made 41 more 3-pointers than anyone else in the league this year. There are only seven other players in the league who have made 41 3's and the second best is at 46.

Man... I really thought Ray Allen's career 3s made was gonna be untouchable, but at this pace, Curry is going to beat it in like 3 years. Just unreal.

Kerr gets the credit for all the wins in the books somehow

Kobe officially retiring after the season.

[davell]

Kobe officially retiring after the season.

 

I was kind of thinking he'd retire during the season honestly.

[UMFan83]

Random factoid: Robert Parish who began his career in 1976 and Karl-Anthony Towns who began his career in 2015 both played games against Kobe Bryant.

 

I'm sure there's an even better one with Kevin Garnett, who debuted a year earlier I believe

[SpongeWorthy]

oh god lol @ the lakers and kobe's line in particular

That being said, he better make it to Jan 7 because I have tickets to Kings-Lakers that day.

In a way that was a huge loss (in a good way) for the Lakers tonight. Puts them only 1 game behind 76ers for worst record and with only playing them twice they likely have to at least lose 1 of the H2H match ups if not both, also their pick is only top 3 protected this year so they really need to finish in the bottom 2 of the league to have a top 3 relatively secured.

If Kobe's last act is helping the Lakers get Ben Simmons, then he take 17 3's every game for all I care.

Agreed. For as bad as this team looks this year if they get the 1 and Simmons, suddenly Russell/Clarkson/Simmons/Randle as building blocks with a ton of cap space is maybe the best young core/brightest future team in the league. Also looking at their schedule right now, I honestly don't even see a potential win until they play Philly next on Jan 1.

First time we've been in a playoff spot since Dwight left...

 

We don't stinks!
