NBA - Main

FUCK the Clippers and fuck the Lakers. And FUCK the Clippers, I love it!

Maxey was always a bucket. But it's been apparent that he was preparing to be the primary ball-handler and keep the 76ers in contention

The bucks got worse

The Pacers putting up 130 a night.

Jokic is definitively the best player in the league. Maybe Giannis gets the title back if he has a monster surge throughout the year & the bucks win the title, but right now it’s not close

WOLVES BACK.

I think Philly has looked best in the east(pre season I had them behind the Celtics and Bucks) and they still have the scope to add a high quality player with a bundle of draft picks and a player post the Harden trade.

Clearly Doctors are overrated if a nurse is doing the job much better...

Teams that are surprising me for good things: Twolves, Rockets, Hawks, and Sixers

Teams that are surprsing me for bad things: Lakers, Grizzlies, Clippers, Cavs

The wolves might have a historically good defense.

Rudy obviously wasn’t himself last year. I was worried it may have just been either a straight up decline or him needing a system catered to him, but the back injuries seem like the obvious answer now. His athleticism is night and day from last year. Back problems for 7 footers are no joke.

We never had a great (or for most part even good) cast of perimeter defenders around Rudy, and we still had amazing defenses. Their ceiling with McDaniels and Edwards hounding guards is scary.

Not much, really.

It's goofy to overreact this early in the season barring major injury.

The Grizzlies being AS bad as they has been a surprise. And, sure, a large part of that is Ja being suspended. But, they've had Bane, JJJ, Smart (three proven NBA players) and Williams for all eight games.

They've lost against the Blazers, Jazz and Wizards.

4-4 or 3-5 would have been a fair guess based on their early season schedule. And, funny enough, the one Finals-level team they did play (Denver,) they barely lost.

But, overall, just a lot of early season overreaction. Like the Wolves being "red-hot" with a 5-2 start. The Suns being "disappointing" at 4-4. The Suns are a whopping 1.5 games behind. With 74 games left to play. I'll take a wild guess and say PHX will finish 10-15-20 games up in the standings.

Sixers looking good but i think they will implode soon.

I don’t think Wemby is an all star

How much more fun life is when basketball is going on

That will can still interrupt our tank just to mess with the Suns, as per tradition.

That there's still 90% to go.

TBH, the mid season tournament and the other BS has got me watching a lot fewer games and keeping up less with the sport

Healthy Pelicans == good

Injured Pelicans == bad

Pelicans != healthy

Steph is the GOAT

The 2 balkans, the 2 rookies

the stupidity of this sub.

That the regular season doesn't matter.

I fell for the Ben Simmons offseason workout photos..🤦‍♂️ he's still the same player.

Joe Mazzulla is still in over his head

There are going to be a lot of teams in middle of the pack around that 45 win mark
