NBA 2016-2017 Season |OT| What do the Liberty Bell and Ben Simmons have in Common?

Cavs so strong. Their 3 point shooting is so devastating. Honestly pretty happy with the Raptors performance. Holy shit though, can the refs fuck off.

Good job, good effort Raptors. Refs were absolute shit, but tough to win when you're giving up 120.

LeCavs still the only obstacle to a finals appearance.

solid win from the hornets. they continue to play exceptionally well in the 3rd quarter. probably because they always dig themselves into a hole in the 2nd quarter tho...they really need to string together full games. aren't gonna win many games against good teams giving away a quarter like that and it's a trend so far.

also how bout frank the tank! dude looked great tonight. hitting the 3, utilizing the shot fake, putting it on the floor, posting up, exploiting mismatches, and assisting his teammates. if he continues to get his confidence level up he's gonna be a serious threat night in and night out.
 
Julius fucked around and got a triple double. The way he has seemingly developed into the heart and soul of this team has been the most mind blowing part of this season so far.

I think Young and Lou being competent players is MUCH MORE mind blowing.

People just gave up on Randle WAY TOO EARLY after being with Byron fucking Scott for two years. Injured his first year and a double double in what was essentially his rookie season. He was definitely the biggest victim of any player on the team from Byron's shenanigans (followed by Russell, Black, and then Clarkson, etc).

Randle is a beast and has that alpha personality that will glue this team together for years to come.

5pur5 gonna run us by about 20 on Friday if we show up like we did tonight.

Or we will run on the Spurs by 20 like we did against the Warriors. :p

This team is capable of beating any team on any given night. Spurs, Warriors, whoever. So bring em on.

Although these next 5 games will probably be brutal so we'll take every win the team can get here.

Do you think if you took yourself and 4 friends that if you played a regulation game you could score (not counting FTs) on an NBA team even once?

just pull up from 10 feet behind the 3 point line repeatedly. they won't guard you and you're bound to clank in 1 out of however many you shoot.

GAF needs this to be a separate thread. I bet a ton of people would think they could luck into a basket while underestimating what they are watching from the NBA.

Who thinks they should take away the other sizes of basketball and keep it at 29.5 across all leagues and ages? I think they should because you'd start off at the official weight and when you look at other sports you don't have different size pucks or baseballs.

Best regards,

If it's super small you don't need to change the size like a tennis ball or a baseball.

If it's bigger you have to change the size or kids especially can't properly handle it. That's why there are different size basketballs and footballs.

Fair enough, I just think if you're going to start on a high rim might as well start with a big ball 💭

Most kids don't do that either though.

Like the rim is shorter. First to third base is smaller. Soccer field is smaller ect...
