NBA Season 2016/17

[RiOtChEsS]

Im going with anyone not Cleveland or Golden State :P

Who of Cleveland and Golden State are more likely to miss the finals? I think the Warriors have tougher competition, the Clipps and Spurs will be good as always. But if Boston fire they might be able to push Cleveland, don't think anyone else can.

yeah you are right, the law of averages suggest LBJ finally has a semi serious injury with the accumulative wear and tear, his age and the fact he has never really suffered anything serious is incredible, he is overdue and that team is just above average without him

just alluding to the fact he is well overdue for an injury, practically unheard of to be this elite and this durable in this game

Lebron has his best supporting cast ever and they will let him rest up in the regular season. it all hinges on Irving's health not Lebron if irving is healthy he will be the best player he has ever played with and i guy who could actually win the MVP. remember he is only 24 years old.

[elephants]

Irving should play for the Boomers just quietly

Lebron's an outlier, his greatest strength is his durability, hes a big boy who takes care of his body and realistically his risk of getting injured is far less given he can rest and he has Kyrie to actually score the ball.

Lebron will rack up the assists and driving and dishing out or passing the ball off is alot less risky then actually driving to the rim for a layup or dunk.

More impressive is it looks like Love has taken the confidence from last years finals and could be back to his double double best!  :o  Guy killed Curry when switched onto him in D last finals!

[jvalles69]

Lebron with a massive trip dub to kick off the season.  :o  Was against the Knicks, but just proves the guy can do as he pleases when he wants.

I think it's best to assume that this will never happen again.

[RiOtChEsS]

weve all seen how random injuries are, Curry's knee off a slip last year, random...

I doubt there has been a superstar in the history of the NBA who didnt tear a hamstring or roll an ankle badly (off the top of my head)

I could be wrong and im not "hoping" it happens, it's just how it is, isnt it?

[RiOtChEsS]

Karl Malone is literally the exception to the theory, dude was an Ironhorse

So of the greats i just looked up, all have had seasons where they have missed over 20 games at least once

Like i said he is due to have some trouble

Prob not, but it might've been enough to awake him for this season, if so Cavs are going to be tough to beat.

Fair bit of pressure on GSW to get out the gate with a win...

imagine the mini shower storm if the lose by 10+

Karl Malone was prob the guy in that era that took care of his body the most.  Did you check out Ray Allen at all?  I know he's mad about treating his body like a temple, can't recall him missing significant time off the top of my head due to injury?

Yeah, I guess you only have so much control over injuries anyway.

exactly, they can be random, apart from the fact that they rarely miss anyone :P

Pop just said Timmy is being fined 25k a day for every day he doesnt show up ;D
