Random NBA Observations 2020 - 2021

[Damnshow]

The Grizzlies remind of Sacramento in that they have a good collection of young talent, but no cornerstone that will help catapult them to higher levels. Jackson Jr was supposed to be that guy, but I don’t think it will happen. He reminds me too much of Brook Lopez.

Yeah, they don't have enough legit veterans to push them to top 8. They got exposed in bubble where they had a decent lead for the playoffs spot, but they kept losing games as other teams were more locked in to win. If they keep losing many games while Ja is out, it wouldn't be surprising to see them tank for upcoming draft.

It’s a been quite a few blowouts in the season already

Expect a lot of that. It's a rushed season with many games squeezed in. At some games teams just won't try and rest their players. Now with no fans in arena, they have excuses to sit their main guys.

Don't forget that Jackson Jr doesn't have a timetable of when he will be back either.

Orlando is really 4-0

Orlando is really 4-0

And they'll likely finish with less than 40 wins having another quick 1st round exit Orlando need to make a move, do they trade for an all star if that's possible or do they tank? Apparently now no tanking, but none of their pieces look like they could become a franchise player. Treadmill. Max. they could accomplish is maybe have Atlanta Hawks like team from about 10 years ago where they make the eastern playoffs yearly, but have no real shot at contending for championship.

@Damnshow theyre definitely treadmilling . I just had to look at the lineup and it’s such ragtag group


Like they threw darts blindfolded at a dartboard of available, budget-friendly nba player cutouts to create the team .

Teams needed a proper training camp after the long layoff Injuries are piling up by young players too cause they needed that as well.

Jokic might fukk around and win MVP

The Coli...

I didn't think about that. The fact we already have some notable Injuries and it's only 4 games in.

All about the money....

Over/under on this season ending in another bubble?

Another poor shooting game from Booker but the Suns didn't need his scoring. Booker finally has a squad now.

Monty has them playing team ball on both ends. Everyone moves the ball. No ego. Crowder just led the team in scoring. They aren't a team built to get one star his numbers.
