The Official Bigfooty Week 1 NBA thread (2017-18)

Marks and Atkinson have done a bloody good job assembling that team considering how sh!te they were and no draft picks. Don't know about the 8th seed but finish higher than New York, Chicago, Orlando, Atlanta.

Wow the East is weak.

They won’t finish higher than Orlando, Orlando is our new overlord

Not really sure that's the way to go about it.

The thing that gets under their skin is losing. So, you got to beat them to upset them (e.g outplay them like the Griz did).

I was thinking the same thing. The only time Warriors look flustered is when they are behind on the scoreboard and not on their game. You're not going to worry them if they're ahead. Interesting how Kerr continues to warn them about the pressures of being the hunted this year. He's right, or course, because everyone will want to test themselves against the reigning champions. Not sure it needs to be said though. I still think people need to be nuts if they think GSW aren't going to be the final this year, something would have to go awfully wrong.

Roberson just got a rebound after playing 20 minutes with goose eggs across the board including 2 airballed free throws in a row.

Still giving up runs the second we get a double digit lead. Ugh.

It would feel weird if we didn't

Cutting KAT is best KAT. None of this chilling on the perimeter ready for a jump shot rubbish.

Cool.

Running lineups that force him to defend Melo is probably not a good solution

What the * was Jeff Teague doing?! Honestly. *.

 

[jdz101]

Been a while since I've seen melo this fired up...released from the shackles of the Knicks

 

[nahnah]

Butler has had a rough few minutes

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Can Jeff Teague not get stuck on a screen for once? Just once. One time. That's all I ask.

 

[Drummer_19]

I think I'd s**t myself if I was trying to back peddle and defend Westbrook in a 1v1 fast break situation.

Someone has a new whipping boy
