I know right! That is gruesome just watching their reaction.

I actually have my (Celtics) Crowder shirt on. I love that guy.

Tough grinder. He was the ultimate team player.

Celtics WTF??

Wow what a great game. The Celts shot very cold after Hayward's injury.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #217 on:** October 17, 2017, 08:54:09 PM »

TSN showed the replay of the full play, but only once. The snap was quite audible.

Samsara · « **Reply #218 on:** October 18, 2017, 08:40:28 AM »

Remember that logo well. Tonight starts the march toward June! Go Wolves!!!

>>>>>>>>Awful on the Gordon Hayward injury. I was watching, but had looked away on that play. Glad I did, after I saw the replay. Wishing Gordon a speedy recovery. Man...

TheOutlawXanadu · « **Reply #219 on:** October 18, 2017, 10:22:55 AM »

I don't ever want to see the Hayward injury. Sounds horrific. I hope that he recovers well and can continue with his great career.

Nekov · « **Reply #220 on:** October 18, 2017, 12:17:35 PM »

I was watching the game last night and the moment were Hayward got injured was just horrific. The Celtics were clearly hit by that but seemed to recover after half time. I was eally hoping this would the year we would see a different finals matchup but I guess it won't be happening.
I guess I'll have to just enjoy teams that I think will be great in the future like the wolves or the bucks.

Azyiu · « **Reply #221 on:** October 18, 2017, 09:21:27 PM »

Like everyone has said it, I too wish Hayward a speedy recovery.

Back to the game itself, the Dubs played way too loose last night especially in the 4th qtr; as if this was still a pre-season game. I think they will be fine down the road, but it was still a terrible effort by the defending champs... against supposedly the team that could challenge them in the West. Also, I hope D-Green is ok after he strained his knee late in the 3rd qtr...

The T-Wolves... not exactly disappointed at them, I know they are young despite their depth. I am most interested to see Thib's rotation. He is known for running his starters to the ground, but this year the T-Wolves are supposed to be much deeper than ever.

KevShmev · « **Reply #222 on:** October 18, 2017, 09:27:06 PM »

Charles had it right the other day when he said we can talk about this and talk about that for the next six months, but it's gonna be Warriors/Cavs again, and everybody knows it. Boston would have had a puncher's chance with Hayward, but now they have no chance.

The Wolves looked sloppy, which I expected. I am completely shocked at Thibs not playing Jeff Teague in the 4th. You paid the man to be your floor general, he was having a good game (a couple of costly turnovers, but who hasn't done that), and then you bench him for Tyus Jones in the 4th when trying to rally?

That was, frankly, dumb, and I don't understand it at all. You don't have to send a message to Teague -- dude is a vet. He gets it. And Thibs sat Butler WAY too long. It is one game, and I am sure the rotation will work itself out. But I can't help but put that loss on Thibs' rotation decisions in the 4th. Really poor.

Hopefully, that is NOT a sign of things to come. That was a game the Wolves should have won, particularly without Leonard playing.

This season blows so far!!!

Horrible. That guy cannot get a break. Seriously. I am pulling for him, but to be honest, I thought the Nets were likely going to be his last chance as a starter. And by the time he gets back next season, they'll have probably moved on, and he'll be a bench guy once again.

Giannis put up 37/13 and didn't play that great in the Bucks win over the Celtics.

What do you mean he didn't play that great?? Looked pretty great to me.

Azyiu · « **Reply #228 on:** October 19, 2017, 11:29:21 PM »

Man oh man... I knew Ball won't have an easy one going into tonight, but what a rude welcome he received, lol.

Poor guy, he has a target on his back and everyone is going to try to beat him AND make him look bad.

On the other hand, Ingram, Ball and Kuzma only scored 23 points combined? Good luck winning any game like that...

On second thought, maybe I should exclude Kuzma from the list... the dude played less than 20 minutes but scored 8pts himself... still, it was not a good outing, and I am sure there will be many nights like this going forward until Ball and Ingram can find ways to attack and score consistently.

Nekov · « **Reply #229 on:** October 20, 2017, 06:11:14 AM »

Being fair to ball, he had to play all night against one of the toughest defenders in the league and it was his first NBA game ever, this game shouldn't be indicative of anything.
As far as the Lakers overall, does anyone really expect them to be good this season? They're still too young and getting to know each other. In 2 or 3 years they'll be a threat, untill then people should be patient with them.

As a long time Lakers fan, I don't think I was being too critical on Ball last time, lol!

Either way, love the efforts @ Suns tonight, and I especially love Ingram's aggressiveness. That's the way to go, guy! Lonzo was spectacular tonight, and hopefully he can keep things steady and don't force anything even when we are losing.

Giannis’ first 3 games 2017-18

13-22 FG, 37 PTS
15-22 FG, 34 PTS
17-23 FG, 44 PTS

I doubt it will happen, but Curry should get suspended for at least a game or two. Just like the NFL suspended Marshawn Lynch because you can't have players grabbing and pushing officials, the NBA cannot have star players thinking they can throw things at officials. A message has to be sent.

Totally agree.

Watson got fired in Phoenix and broke Mike Brown's record of 5 games when he was still with the Lakers, lol.

On second thought, I don't feel too bad for him. The Suns aren't ready for the season, nor I see any improvement over the past 2 plus years in AZ. Dan Majerle might be the man for this gig?

black_biff_stadler · « **Reply #235 on:** October 22, 2017, 08:50:51 PM »

Ball shot a bit too many times, and I thought Ingram could have been a bit more assertive with his game. Oh well, live and learn...

Him being hired as the coach was ridiculous to begin with. He hadn't even been an assistant coach for a full year. The only thing they've been doing good is drafting players. They need to get a coach like Jason Kidd who is able to develop young players
