NBA Season 2017/18

@canefan no one seems to like any of the NBA superstars. Look through this thread, and every time one of the really big names is brought up, almost instantly someone will pipe up with "i really can't stand ..."
I like Harden, he's a magnificent, bearded bastard who makes offense look insanely easy. And he looks at opponents with disdain that they are even daring to be on the same court as him.

Green may be a bit of a shit, but he's pretty useful.

He's definitely a guy you love if he's in your team and hate if not

I dont mind most of the stars tried to dislike lebron back in the day but hes boss. Westbrook is a beast at times but niggly and melo just annoys me. Makes it hard as i follow OKC as long as adams is there. Green is basketballs gregan (not as great though) but you want him on your team.
KD i dont hate but dont support wish he didnt jump to golden state. Unbelievable athlete.

Never been a Harden fan. Couldn’t stand him even when he was a Sun Devil. He can play offence no doubt and D’Antoni’s system is made for his game.
My like for CP3 has been up and down over the years.
Capella is a gun. That boy is going to get paid big time soon.
The big thing for the Rockets will be defending Steph and Klay. Whereas the Warriors will run a good diet of Klay, Livingston and even Iggy at Harden. Steph has usually played CP3 pretty well over the years.

Anyone watched that netflix doco on Vince yet ? Watched it yesterday before playing to get pumped up....still can't dunk

@magpie_in_aus Yep very cool. Was a shame he couldn't stay in Toronto and stay injury free.
Meanwhile Celtics just destroyed the Cavs in Game 1 of the ECF.
Somehow Celtics coach didn't get 1 vote from his peers for coach of the year - the dude is the best coach in the league.

He doesn't strike me as the type of guy who cares. Very humble, super smart and his players would run through a wall for him

Its so weird. Two big signings both injured. In CF and just dominated game one. No love....

If they win game 2 the alarm bells might start ringing quietly in CLE

This whole season was fun, but one wonders if GSW might just stand up and show their class, and in turn giving a big middle finger to the Sixers/Raptors/Rockets/Thunder/Cavs/Celtics/anyone who dared to dream in 2017/18.
Not really close on paper. They will flick the switch now and it will be lights out for Houston in 5 or 6 games

I can't be bothered starting up a new thread, the US supreme court are in the process of legalizing sports gambling on a federal level. It baffles me as to why they haven't opened it up earlier

The game today was ridiculous. I only caught the first half but it made every other play-off game look like the NBL.
Big players making big plays, over and over again.
I fear the Finals will be a let-down compared to this series.
Houston's iso offense was put under serious pressure by the warriors. They forced at least 4 shot clock violations I can recall. GS's team ball is harder to guard
