NBA Season 2016-2017

[SHAQATTACK]

Re: commentary, I also really dislike the Hawks and Cavs crews. Those guys are just awful. I like the Nets crew, and the Detroit guys the other day were good too.

The worst jerks are the Rockets crew .  They are muted from the get go .

Jamal Murray with another great game.  We finally have an early standout prospect from this dud of a draft class.

Does anyone feel like they might have undervalued Dwight Howard in free agency?  His early season play in Atlanta deserves more credit than he's probably going to get.  23 points and 20 rebounds tonight.

And the team down 23 points. How about winning actual games? Utah isn't exactly title contenders.

Well Murray has shot the ball extremely well the past few games. Typically top drafted rookies play for bad teams.  Hence why they were drafted so high...   We were off to a pretty shocking start to this season... none of the 2016 draftees were doing crap.  The #3 pick played 4 minutes tonight, for instance.  It was looking pathetic.  Looks like Murray might be the first 2016 draftee to start stepping up.

I would have been perfectly fine with Dwight as a free agent.  The hate for him as a player made no sense.  Of course, he is 31 and is averaging the fewest minutes in his career so far this season.

I've always been a big fan. I would've been happy with him had we missed on Al, but I'd much, much rather have Al.

I had really hoped that if we weren't going to sign Durant that we could have signed both Horford and Howard.

I think they would be nasty together. Howard controlling the paint and Horford doing everything else.

But I think Howard had his mind set on going to Atlanta. I think the Hawks wanted to pair them, but moving Millsap wasn't going to happen that quickly. It was a very haphazard plan, even if it was great in theory.

Davis is unbelievable.

Same here. I do think we might legitimately be favorites for the title if we signed both of them. That'd be one hell of a two-way team, and it'd be the kryptonite for both Cleveland and GS.

However, I'm not sure that Howard would ever really consider Boston. He seems to be a "nice-weather" guy through and through.

Would love both

Golden State scored 80 points in the first half. Did a double take on that box score.

8-19 in a game where Denver lost by 25 points..... to the Utah Jazz.

Very impressive!

All of our rookies sans KO and Smart got the same treatment. Last year, it was Rozier. It's hard to have consistent playing minutes for rookies on this team. I doubt Brad would play Murray more minutes here if he was drafted by the team. Defense and versatility is the primary requirements in order to play for Brad.

If Jaylen is playing for these lottery teams, he would have the green light to be aggressive and average 5x the numbers he have here. In this team, he needs to be more aware of the flow of both offense and defense.
