Random NBA Observations 2020 - 2021

[Primetime]

The lakers got the jazz tomorrow night

Phoenix lookin at that 3rd seed like

It’s whoever the media wants at the time Chris Paul should be in consideration but he won’t because of numbers

Give it til next Tuesday.

Lakers next 4 games: UTA, GSW, POR, PHO
Suns next 4 games: CHA, CHI, MIN, LAL
LAC next 4 games: WASH, MEM, MIL, BOS

Suns could have sole ownership of the 2nd seed going into the all star break if they clean house this week, at which point the media wouldn't be able to ignore Mr "year 15 at 36 years old (in May)".

I was saying that too.

 

[CarltonJunior]

Idk...i feel like the Lakers gonna gut out a W on Utah and Phoenix to prove a point. Probably will lay down vs GS and POR tho

 

[blac_da_rappa]

Nah the worst one go to the rockets iirc

Nope Okc gets choice out of Rockets and the Heat picks .. but not Rockets pick from the Nets trade.

Rockets pick is Top 4 protected and Heat is unprotected

Glad to see russ back on his shyt.
nikkas quickly forgot that he was injured and threw him in the bushes way too fast

Russ is the only reason the lakers had a chance to win

If they lose that groin might start acting up again

Lebron spends 2 million on his body every year he gotta drop atleast 500k to hire a live in shooting coach that will force him to stick with one style and stay with it. His lack of free throw making cost them the game.

What exactly is the criteria for MVP anyway?

If Embiid leads Lebron in points, rebs, blks, stls, FG%, 3%, FT% and has the same team record, why is he under Lebron when Bron plays alongside AD?

shyt makes no sense. Goofy ass award system in the nba.

That's exactly the points I was made yesterday in the previous thread. A lot of players are going use their stats as measuring stick as to why they deserve to be an All Star and make All NBA. Well, everybody in the NBA is putting up numbers and can make that same argument. So what criteria are we using to make those determinations?

That's also why it's bullshyt that the NBA tied contracts into making All NBA teams and winning awards.

You could make a compelling argument that he is the MVP even over Embiid and Jokic for what he's doing for the Suns.

He's the exact criteria of the MVP should be, but can't even get a mention in the conversation. I thought he should have been top 3 in MVP voting last year with what he did for OKC.

For some reason, the refs have always been on some love shyt when it comes to the Jazz and playing in Utah.

Goes all the way back to the Stockton/Malone days.Might be some kind of Mormon connection going on somewhere.

I always dread when the Suns have to play there.Refs will run a train on you in Salt Lake.

The Suns can be weird, tho.They play great against the good teams, but tend to struggle with those middle of the pack squads.

We'll see if they've gotten over that mental hurdle.They're still learning how to deal with success after a decade of ineptitude.

Very true. This upcoming week is a minor but purposeful test of their maturity. Beat who you're supposed to beat, go 4-0, and you're the 3rd seed going into the break. They should beat all the teams in front of them so it comes down to can they sustain the focus.

Went from all pro to journeyman status in the blink of an eye.
