The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Begins | Embiid Debut | Klay Return

Lebron
Embiid
Giannis
Steph
Jokic
Zion
Luka
Tatum
Ja
KD

All mvp candidates. Not even counting tier 2 guys like Booker and Mitchell.

Why is this eras stats inflated when guys in the 90s played more minutes? Guys in the 80s played more minutes at the same pace? Guys were legit in the league to foul and be tall
The paint is wide open and refs as whistle happy as ever. You could probably sneak 4-6 points in a game today assuming you play

Defensive schemes have advanced. Yeah the league took the unnecessary hacking out of the game but it’s only a layup line for the elite and even still you need to have a finishing package. Just like it was a layup line in the 80s if you could just dribble between your legs. Guys are just better.

I wouldnt call making the easiest shots even easier advances in defensive schemes but to each their own
 
Jazz and Kings would be a good *** series

basically last year's Grizz-Wolves minus the million bonehead plays
 

I wouldn’t say smarter but yeah this.

Even on the last play. The paint was walled off. Clarkson was hand checking. Fox got to his spot and pulled up. Vintage basketball but if you only see the blown coverage and a dunk then you think it’s easy
 
marcus smart with the "we are down by a million, so i might as well get tossed"
He went to school an hour away, probably has friends here still. Get an early shower and you can get out the arena at 930 soon as the game is over unless Boston are one of those straight to the airport teams then best case you got them tickets and you can come holler before you leave. Same of course with 405 legend Blake Griffin-Rhoades
