The Official NBA Season Thread

[pmatic]

That might’ve been the worst Steve Kerr coached game I’ve ever seen . Big fan of dude, but it seemed almost intentional. How you up 18 for the second night in a row….watch the lead slowly dwindle. Refuse to call any timeouts, and then put Steph in, down 5….like 30 minutes of real time later

These are the dumb *** games that cause teams to fight for play in’s etc.

Warriors blowing huge leads is incredibly concerning. Dennis is a warriors killer too. Nobody can stay in front of him, and you let a team get momentum in the NBA…curtains.

They had a bunch of games like this last season but Steph bailed them out on his way to the clutch award.

Not sure if Elfrid Paytons 14-7-21 after 2 years of not playing is a credit to him or just shows how easy it is to stuff the boxscore in today's NBA

You knew it was March when he got triple doubles in his younger years.

Forget being a vocal leader - I’d start with asking Murray to stop publicly saying he had better things to do than get ready for a game.

If it were that easy wouldn’t it be done more often? Give that man his credit. Passing was never the issue with him, he couldn’t shoot.

They blew hella leads last year, and lost some truly stupid games….but what I’ve seen 15 games in, is more concerning than last year blown leads.

They straight up giving leads back in record time. Like go on a 12-2 run, and then the other team scores 18 straight points, and completely cancels it out and striking distance ain’t even that close anymore

Strange. Still got hella faith, but they need to make a change. Buddy shot selection is what keeps him inconsistent. Surprised by his ball handling and defense/toughness actually. But he for sure do some dumb ****, that get you parked on the pine for a min, especially if it’s not his night.

He was always truly pass first. Doing it with that team missing players and in his second game is crazy.

Should we talk about the overrated West?

Those types of PGs just need a rim runner (missi) a shooter (Murphy) and a CS off the ball scorer (McCollum) plus an opportunity.

35 year old rondo put up 13 assists in like 20
minutes is last season. Those guys will always be able to pass

Pacers/Kings always give up crazy nights to guys.

The issue with Elf is he can dominate the ball and fill a box score but you’re not a very good team with him in that role. No different from Russ.

Is it really overrated though? I think the West has more been touted for being deep with good teams than for having a lot of really great teams, which is accurate.

And the West overall is still numerically and eye test better than the East. (Currently 138 - 122 West over East in head-to-head match-ups this season).

And then there's also the matter of a number of West teams having stars out due to injury.

But the East had a good night last night though.

16 of Steph's 17 shots tonight were 3's
51 of Boston's 88 shots were 3's

I think we're a couple years away from every team in the league shooting more 3's than 2's

The old heads are gonna hate it

Its not going to get that way because rule changes are coming. Just a hunch. The difference between good basketball and entertaining basketball is widening due to the math. Only rule changes can fix it. MLB made changes and it did wonders

It's for the ad issue. I spoke with Meth about it last week.

Anyone who was really having crazy issues with the ads let me know. I've committed to covering $100 of subs so 1 month for 20 people while it's being fixed.

Since when has dominance been confused with being overrated?

The East is trash.

Jamal Murray & Andrew Wiggins fall off after being the second best player on a Championship team should be studied. Must be something in that water after all.

Jamal Murray, Wiggs, Tory Lanez, Drake.....

this is even more shocking when you factor in that Towns has allowed his opponent to shoot 109.4% at the rim this season
