NBA Season 2016/17

Jerry Krause, the polarising architect of all those great Bulls teams has died. I can't believe he is not already in the Hall of fame, it is a travesty and now it is too late for him to be able to accept the accolade
Bulls dynasty architect Krause dies at 77

@canefan he'll have to double that for him to drag the rest of his ordinary side to wins

You mean the side that is currently 6th seed in the west, top 10 all NBA and has a .571 WR?
They are doing pretty well. -
The Thunder are doing better than I expected and I like the acquisitions they made before the trade deadline. Gibson is a solid pro and if the 2nd unit can gel a little better i.e get better shots for McDermott, they could get past the first round of the playoffs
-
@ACT-Crusader I just can't see them getting past the first round(likely against the Spurs or Rockets).
-
So as a few may remember I decided to switch NBA allegiances as my Warriors had become too good/hard to support.
I made the call to support the Milwaukee Bucks, and I'm pretty happy with that decision right now, as they steamrolled the Raptors in Toronto to go 1-0 up in the series.
Still a long way to go, but if Giannis keeps his form up then anything is possible...
-
Westbrook drops a 51-point triple double,
and the Thunder still drop the 2nd game of their series with the Rockets
-
@mariner4life Yeah that will happen when you jack up 43 shots. But he got his triple-double so it's fine....

So the eventual NBA finalists Golden State and the Cavs have breezed through unbeaten and are waiting on their respective opponents for the conference finals.
Spurs v Rockets is awesome, SA in front by a game, but no Parker for the first time since the 1800s, and Leonard hurt at the end of the last. Both teams have nicked one the road. Patty Mills now a starter, and drained 20 yesterday.
The Celtics and the Wizards are winning at home, so Boston also up 3-2.
-
What about the block by Manu. Harden made a great move to get what looked an open shot, but the old man came up with the block.
Very risky play by Manu, but he had a big time game with Parker out and Leonard not 100%.

More amazing is that Manu wasnt called for a foul for looking at Harden ....

Leanard out for this morning. Surely the Spurs can't win without both him and Parker? Patty mills to score 35 and have the Aus media coming in their pants.

They will play hard and save Leonard for a possible game 7 in SA
-
bloody good first half!
-
Harden has shat the bed.

@Baron-Silas-Greenback Manu is in his head!

Spurs just arent letting him get those cheap fouls and he has gone to pieces. I dont like his play style, so I am very pleased.
Made the MVP narrative change as well.. SPurs winning without Kawhai, Harden folding.. and Westbrook rolled in first round. -

MVP award is a regular season award only, playoffs have no bearing, but yes perhaps what it does is highlight the lack of importance of the award, or at least how they seem to judge it by giving it to the biggest regular season stat monster.
