The Official NBA Season Thread

I don’t think Houston has anyone good enough to compliment Giannis and contend for a title. As good as he is, you’d be relying on green and Jabari smith to be something they aren’t good enough or even ready to be. When the playoffs get tight Giannis needs another shot maker and Jalen green isn’t going to cut it.

Ehh, I saw Jamal Murray just be the first scoring option on a championship team. I definitely think Green has at least that level in him. Depth and young guys who play D>>>”Superstar” teammates.

OKC would be the best winning situation obviously but Rockets would be his team, and he’d get to be with all the other Nigerians in Houston, it would be a good fit.

Damn Jalen Suggs hair

Jokic outscored Jamal in the regular season, playoffs, and Finals.

Magic vs Cavs eh? Interesting choice for a nationally televised game. Woudve thought Boston vs Charlotte woudve been a more “popular” choice. I dont mind, but not even excited all that much since Paolo is injured smh.

Definitely the same eyes that see the Rockets finishing top 6 in the West this season

Absolutely unhinged take by Austin Rivers. The simple question to ask is "if KAT is a more skilled scorer than Jokic, then why doesn't he score more efficiently and score more points than Jokic?"

Lakers are staying in Toronto over the weekend. Trying to get this game over with before they wild out.

The whole take is completely ridiculous, but I’m especially bothered by the “other than passing” bit, like it’s unimportant that Joker is one of best passers ever

Damn, Paolo out 4-6 weeks

"Other than making all his teammates better, why is he a better offensive player" is certainly one of the...takes of all time

Are the Raptors the worst team in the league this season ?

They're missing four rotation players.
Worst team belongs to the Jazz so far.

They gotta chill.

That's like the 10th time they've played the D.Mitch Skims commercial

Very glad the Lakers got an easy game after a tough schedule start to the season.

Jokic the #1 player in the world four years running but he was not tbe team’s main shot maker. Stop the cap, y’all know the truth. Healthy Jamal was the one creating shots iso on the perimeter to score under five minutes in the game, y’all pretending that ain’t the truth.

Nuggets had two playoff runs, and both times it was cause he was healthy. They fell off the cliff this year, and it’s cause he’s cooked. Let’s stop the cap.

Never said it was a given but they probably have the best depth in the league. After watching can say they are comfortably a lock at least the play-in, I’ll even say a lock for top 8.

These conversations can be frustrating because "skilled" can mean anything anyone wants. Defense is a skill, passing is a skill but some people only focus on shooting and ball handling.

Whoops.
