Random NBA Observations 2022 - 2023

I thought everyone was relatively healthy but Khris Middleton is still not recovered

Middleton still hurt?

 

[Ironman]

Agreed on all points. I'm not high on DEN's supporting cast and have my doubts on their core being as good as advertised. But that display of shot making Murray had at the end was a reminder of what he's capable of and the type of ish they'll need from him in a non-bubble playoff environment.

Memphis... just gotta hope Ja stays healthy. The shelf-life of these dynamic explosive point guards ain't great. Clippers... Kawhi looks like he ain't lost a step. Powell needs to calm his ass down with all the chuckin, lookin like he gunnin for 6th man of the year lol.

Lakers... Russ was impressively under control.

Too bad NOP and MIN are both banged up right now, no KAT/Gobert nor Ingram/CJ tonight.

NO isn't healthy either whoa

Watch him up in Utah or San Antonio

San Antonio seems like they're building that team around him because of how the roster looks, don't be surprised if Jakob Pöltl is shipped out by the trade deadline.

Utah on the other hand looks like they're building for Scoot Henderson

NO isn't healthy either whoa

Yup. Likely just Zion tonight



I'd imagine it's nothing too serious. innnshallah.

NO fans, just a heads up CJ has been injury prone his entire career.

That's so underrated, he giving out free baskets.

Left fifth toe soreness sounds like something AD would be out with.










For three months.

It's crazy, scouts who are really good at their jobs pay attention to stuff like this. Debilitating screens choke-pointing half the defenders on the court

Sometimes plays that end in a highly contested midrange jumper are because somebody 15 seconds ago makes a weak unconvincing cut or sets a wack screen that would've got buckets but instead the play breaks down and offense is now in disarray. Steven Adams is one of those guys that gets you points without even touching the ball, but nobody tends to realize it.

They really got something with that Ja and Steven Adams combination.

Steph and Jamal Murray are actually two other players who set up some incredible screens and use their height to sneak up and clobber multiple big defenders out of nowhere at once.

Celtics were on fire from 3 last night my god.

Hornets may be the worst defending team in the league this season

This sounds like it's off the cutting room floor of Thug Motivation 101.

Never seen this before it’s pretty dope

breh I was gonna say that earlier....somebody need to put some jeezy adlibs over it and I might bump that for real

This brother Ben Simmons is most definitely giving me born in the wrong generation vibes. This cat should of been in the 80s putting in work with alvin robertson or fat lever since he's not going to shoot from the perimeter at all. The good thing is I think the Nets may be the perfect team for him if healthy.

 

[NatiboyB]

get them a team (wish it were the sonics) put a team in Seattle and in like KC/STL or Vegas maybe?
