2016-2017 Around The NBA

As miserable as tonight's loss was for the Cavs, and it was bad, weird night all around the league. Warriors lose on a Dion Waiters(!) game winner. Knicks go into Indiana and win. Bucks beat the Rockets by double digits. Clippers, without Blake and CP3, win in Atlanta.

Not to mention the Raps lost to Phoenix at home last night. While the Celtics lost at home to the Blazers yesterday afternoon.

Dion Waiters had a career night even (with accompanied theatrics). Sad!

I keep seeing a lot of people say they're relocating to Seattle, or getting a new arena. No one knows.

Yeah, no one is coming to Seattle anytime soon. The arena continues to be a dead letter. Last I checked no one was liking the Renton idea.

Although the Sound Transit measure did pass so there is hope.

"We're wearing all black to the game. You know where we're going with that," Wizards forward Kelly Oubre Jr. told reporters in Charlotte, North Carolina, following the Wizards' 109-99 victory over the Hornets on Monday.

Reporters also asked Wall about the dress code, and he responded, "All black everything."

So the Celtics and Raptors both lost while the Clippers blew a 19-point second half lead in Philly, getting outscored 62-32 over the last 21 minutes. "Weren't they playing without Chris Paul?" you might ask. And yes, no CP3... but Philly was playing without Joel Embiid.

The Spurs are so good...a real team that everyone can contribute...No Parker...Gasol or Leonard tonight and they roll into Toronto and beat the Raptors

Gonna just ignore DeRozan not playing?

I can see it now Spurs going to have to play 2 of the Clippers(7)/Memphis(6)/Rockets(3) just to get to the WCF while Warriors waltz right into the WCF.

Hell Thunder will probably make it more easier for them and knock the Jazz out in the 1st round.

The Raptors are getting absolutely smoked by Charlotte right now. I think @Rich is right in his Boston is the #2 seed call.

And then Boston proceeds to lose to the Knicks, Blazers, and Wizards.

It's slumptown in the NBA. Almost like the guys on playoff teams who were trying for All Star spots whiffed and now they want to cruise until the first round.

Why not? Because neither did Kawhi play.

Pop is GOAT. Basically the equivalent of having LeBron and Kyrie out, plus technically a big (but they have LMA still with Gasol out, so it's not like losing Love). Pretty comparable to no LeBron, JR, or Ky though maybe.
