2016-17 Running NBA Thread

I like to think Charles Dolan demanded JD & The Straight Shot be the house band for a half, so they stuck them in a soundproof, windowless room and told him he'd be live over the PA system before cutting the mic.

 

I like the idea, but strange that they would try it: 1) in a nationally televised game; which 2) was the only visit the Warriors were making to MSG.

 

Less than a minute into his Cavs career, Bogut fractures his tibia. Jordan McCrae is not amused.

 

I didn't think of myself as superstitious, but Bogut makes me think "Born Under a Bad Sign" was a song based in reality.

 

Full playoff share, though, right?

 

It's funny cause it's true.

And 2 days after LeBron and Kyrie forfeit a game to Miami they lose to lose Miami, at home.

Kevin Love must be the league MVP

 

Westbrook 58 points, 9 assists, 21-39 FG ... loss.

His fate for many years to come, it appears.

 

Warriors get run off their home court by Celtics. Game and a half up on Spurs for top spot in West.

If this keeps up a bit longer, we're going to be allowed to say things aren't perfect.

 

For whatever reason, Celtics are a bad matchup for Warriors. Beat'em out there last year and played them very tough at home.

 

Avery Bradley is a terror on the W's; as expected, just not playing as well w/o Durant. I thought they'd do better since its only no Barnes and Zaza and West are upgrades IMHO over Bogut/Speights.

After the pre-injury play, and now the downward trend, still have to remind myself remember 1976-2015.

 

In the pregame newser, Kerr called the game the fourth game of a seven-game roadie. They looked dreadful from outside.

The payback comes at the end of the regular season, with seven of the final 10 at home.

 

Celtics number one weakness is rebounding, not one the Warriors can consistently exploit.
