The Official NBA Season Thread: HO HO HO

Watching nuggs offense where they get great shots every possession and then watching Mavs/clips go on droughts from iso ball. . Talented guys in both teams, but there were long stretches of just dribbling and standing around only to miss a three

i am honestly surprised to see 6 games actually got replayed - anyone know the years ?

him, Nash, lebron

Trae is nice with the alley oop floater as well

Clips/Mavs is an iso competition, Mavs won and will win like that.

The Clippers have a skilled 7 footer who puts all Dallas’ centers in the rim, but they still want to play 1 on 1

They likely win last night if Kawhi sits again. If Luka isn’t playing Zu off the floor, he needs touches.

Relax. These last two were just 48-hour suspensions. They’ll be back for Game 3.

Nah **** that boring ***

I'll take boring, physical grind basketball all day long. We ain't ever seen this in Dallas in my lifetime - a fun change of pace.

Biggest thing that's gotta change for them this series is Luka looks... indecisive? IDK what it is... Feels like he's overpassing around the rim... Just looks like he's unsure even when he's got people beat - and he hasn't really put his head down and slammed Zubac or Plumlee off switches yet.

Damn everyone has active hands on the Timberwolves.

Very tough defense.

Wolves will only double Durant if he gets one of the point guards on the switch and Phoenix/Durant don’t hunt mismatches like that.

Beal has been much better on the ball than Book but he concedes point duties to Book when they share the floor.

Biggest thing is they’re STILL not running the PnR high enough, or utilizing Nurk’s passing out of the high post often enough.

This is an elite defense, Phoenix can get good looks but they’re gonna need to alter their play style a bit. They’ve been unwilling to do so

friendly reminder that in a formal protest, you have to show the misapplication of a rule as opposed to an incorrect call/non call

we're on to game three.

Looks like he needs to be saved from himself. Which will probably happen if game 3 doesn’t go well.

Steph and Bron should team up.
