The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[lawdog1]

Jokic just doesn’t make any sense. Savant is an understatement.

We don’t have enough superlatives to describe him

There was a play last night where he had a guy sealed under the basket. The entry pass was bad so Joker had to play it like a tip-in attempt. Bucket. I can’t think of anyone else who would make that play. Special, special player.

Goober could’ve. Should’ve passed him the ball!

Heard someone say Giannis peaked already.

Dirk Gasol

The goof mockingly did that Dirk Gasol thing for a couple years like it was outrageous to compare him to those guys, and then Jokic turned out to be better than both of them.

Since I was unfamiliar with him before draft night, I have to ask the thread if McCain is really as good as he’s been performing? Or is he on a hot streak while the league figures him out better?

Really impressive how he's hit the ground running. One and done, small-ish guards drafted outside of the lottery don't do this. And he's not even a crazy athlete. It's like pure skill and pace. Very CJ McCollum-like.

Damn AD got locked up AND had 34 dropped on his head in a loss?

superblytrife think we talked bout it in the preseason but the center position is absolutely killing the Hornets

They shoulda picked Edey or Clingan

Yeah, I’m happy former Clipper Moussa Diabate is getting a chance to play a lot, but if he’s the starting center that’s not good news for the team.

He was a certified bucket in college and has alotta of confidence so I’m not surprised he’s ballin…Wanted him to play in Orlando

He's putting up poor man Rodman statlines. 1 point, 15 rebounds

I liked him a lot going into the draft. Strong frame for a smaller guard, smart, good shooter.

Didn’t think he’d be doing all this right away though.

Maaaan! At this point I’d be happy to have Nick back.

The good news is that both Nick and Mark are back to basketball activities, so shouldn’t be too much longer. That said, I wonder how effective Mark will be after so many months off.

Diabate is a dog. Not bringing much in terms of scoring, but his grittiness is MUCH needed on this team. I really hope they do the right thing and convert his 2-way. Dope to see someone take full advantage of an opportunity.

But yeah, him at C = you’re cooked.

Sengun, Sheppard/Whitmore, and Jabari, couple picks…everybody wins

Hard pass if we have to give up Sengun.
