The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[king j]

Jalen is a superstar on the rise.Rockets got 1 maybe 2 more years of tanking before they gotta start building a real team around him.They got a lot of young talent,but some of the pieces don’t fit.

Jalen Green a certified bucket but he’s still lost on playmaking for others and knowing when to get his teammates involved…Maybe that will come with time or the Rockets can help by getting a legit PG moving forward

Once the ball in Green or Porter’s hands the rest of the squad minus well crash the glass or start heading back on D

I feel so bad for Jabari having to play w/ that backcourt

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Has sims just not been good enough to play this year? Thought he was gonna be a thing this season

Worse possible situation for a prospect like him…The dudes that need to develop ball skills need reps if they on a bad team or to perfect the role player stuff on a good team to build confidence for an expanded role …Having to be a limited touches type role player on a bad team not the best recipe for development

 

[Mister Meaner]

Sims is 3rd on the depth chart and will see time when Mitch or Hart are out.

This is coach Thibs here and Jericho despite being superhuman is still very raw.

79-73 at halftime

Jabari is in a bad situation but he is also terrible. Playing for Orlando or Detroit wouldn’t change the fact that he has no burst or lift at all, cannot dribble, can’t score inside the arc, cannot create for himself or others etc…

Those mock drafts were a joke and I wouldn’t have even taken him in the top 5.

Got Damb

Belated note from Clips-Nets yesterday - KD is still a monster. Makes getting buckets against really good defenders look easy.

 

[ill steelo]

Scoring 50 in a quarter & still losing would be impressive

 

[Mister Meaner]

15/24 from 3

Knicks need some Deuce.

 

[elpablo21]

Shai really ascended mane

 

[ballinsam23]

SGA is too good. Should be an all star every year.

 

[datznasty]

Same vibe for Knicks/Thunder on a Sunday afternoon

SGA bout to put up a 50 piece though if the Knicks dont let OkC run away with it

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Shai really ascended mane

Lord carry him now

 

[Mister Meaner]

Knicks can’t throw one in the ocean & OKC shooting 88% from distance.

This is some Sunday bull.

 

[lawdog1]

Nice stat-like for Giddey as well. 20-7-10 on 9-11 shooting.

Really sucks Chet got hurt.

 

[Mark Antony]

Scoring 50 in a quarter & still losing would be impressive expected

 

[Mister Meaner]

At least we’re not the Lakers.

 

[nick.]

one of the worst defensive performances i've ever seen across any sport

Only his 2nd year on a trash team

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

Even though there are no blatant tankings this yr so far…

I think a good way to remedy it for the future would be to actually reward the team with the best record that didnt make the playoffs.

 

[MVP]

At least we’re not the Lakers.

You should be hoping for that so you could get a chance at an actual franchise player in this year's draft.
