Random NBA Observations 2019 - 2020

French Hibbert is 3/7 with 6 rebounds

Nobody is scared of this dude and he makes no impact vs. the rockets.

Rockets small ball plays him off the floor like the warriors did capela.

I agree...

If this ends up being the matchup eventually and this continues Rudy’s stock may fall dramatically around the league

72 pts for Westbrook and harden combined. Most productive duo this season but ppl don’t want to believe it

Pocket Rockets are the best show on earth. Morey did it again.

Should've been a 20 point blowout but Clarkson morphing into MJ in the 1st half & them flopping their way back into the game prevented that.

RoCo had 3 blocks in the 2nd half tonight. Each one on Gobert.

He's averaging over 2 blocks a game since he was traded here.

I'm not certain it would be the same way in a playoff series. Harden/Westbrook have a long history of struggling in the playoffs and against the Jazz specifically. You would think that with a bunch of time to prepare, the coaches could work out something that will allow Gobert to continue to be an asset against this offense. We'll see though.

@AvadaKadaBreh next Ben Wallace coming like I said

Freedom Fries Golbert gonna get eliminated one more time by the Rockets and may quit the league after he is never picked for another All-star game. Needs to see if Charmin will start sponsoring him

It's still the saddest/most hilarious thing to me that for the past 3 years the NBA media pencils him in for DPOY by default every season... only for him to get played off the floor immediately once the playoffs start. Like how you the best defensive player in the entire league when you're literally unplayable when it comes time to actually compete against elite teams for the championship?

I'm sure y'all see me each year talmbout this Frenchy bout to go cry in his locker after they talk about his defensive ability. Harden/Capela had their way with him damn near nonstop but he could out rebound teams with losing records

Amid concerns of an injury, Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons will undergo an MRI on his lower back on Sunday, league sources tell ESPN.


There is some level of concern surrounding the possible nature of the injury, league sources tell ESPN. A clearer picture is obviously expected after testing on Sunday in Philadelphia.

Simmons left the Sixers' 119-98 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks after tweaking his back in the first quarter. Sources described Simmons as emotional upon leaving the X-ray room at the Fiserv Forum late Saturday.

Simmons left the game after playing less than five minutes, which included five points and two rebounds.

Simmons missed the Sixers' victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday with lower back soreness.

Simmons is averaging 16.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 8.3 assists for the Sixers this season. The 76ers are currently the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference.
