Random NBA Observations 2024 - 2025

Tbh I think we're passed the point of "Oh if the Clippers are healthy they could..."

If they actually were healthy every time we've said if they were healthy, i'm sure they'd be going for their 5th straight title and Kawhi would be the GOAT with how we annually talk about what they could/would do.

At this point, 6-years into the experiment, i got zero expectations for them.

I'm worried about big Zu. Even if Kawhi, Harden and Norm magically all stay healthy and deliver, if Zubac gets injured we don't have a chance. He's not only a critical piece on both ends of the floor, he's also really the only good big that we have. If he gets injured, the drop off will be massive and we don't stand a chance.

No shade to LAC but I'm starting to feel being traded there stunted/delayed Zubac's growth a bit, offensively. Starting from the Doc Rivers BS not wanting to play him, to the constant injuries to their star wings and them overcompensating with wing-heavy roster additions with no traditional point guard, and Zu being an after thought on O.

We've heard for 5 years that Zubac actually got a 3-ball but still never been used. He's shown signs of post-moves/nice touch around the basketball for years now as well, but i mentioned earlier this is his first time in 9-years getting double digit shot attempts. Not saying he'd be Jokic or Embiid, But who knows, probably could've been a featured Marc Gasol type earlier. Granted he's still 27

He turned 28 yesterday but I feel ya, Marc Gasol is a good comparison. I hope he can stay healthy and in rhythm.

Houston been running this Sengun & Adams lineup recently or is this just trying to match the Magic size?

Cause the media decided Wemby was DPOY before the season even started and they don’t want to vote for Dyson Daniels so it’ll be JJJ again or Mobley

Should have unanimously won it last year
Should still win it this year

Dillon Brooks turned himself into a quality offensive player with feet work, post work & good touch…yet nobody cares

Caruso getting a night off too but not being put on the injury report to throw the league off
