Random NBA Observations 2024 - 2025

If they can maintain some consistency, they’ll be near the top of the East. I forgot about how well Cleveland is playing, but Pacers got valuable playoff experience last year. Only team that matches up decently vs the Cs in the East in my opinion.

Tyrese Halfaburden is not clutch at all, which may end up as their downfall

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

So called eastern conference contenders have losing win-loss records and are struggling right now. Is it just Early season blues or they are just that bad ? I know these teams have injured players( embiid for the Sixers, banchero for the magic ) young players(magic) and new players( Knicks, see the karl-Anthony towns trade ) It takes time for teams to gel and build chemistry. And winning without your best players (embiid and banchero) is very difficult.

Bucks 1-6
Sixers 1-5
Magic 3-5
Knicks 3-3 (playing for .500)

the Cavs and Celtics are the only contenders and the only teams period to have winning records in the east. The other 13 teams are playing for 0.500 (equal numbers of wins and losses) or have losing (win-loss) records. In the east, teams seeded 6-15 have losing records. The 3rd seeded Miami Heat are 3-3. In the west the 9th seeded, 3-3 spurs is the first team in the conference to have a 0.500 record.


By comparison the first 8 teams in the standings in the west have all winning records. And the 9-10-11th seeded teams play for 0.500. The bottom four teams in the western standings have losing records.

Fam, it's not even Thanksgiving yet. Knicks are still fine tuning their chemistry. Sixers just got PG back and will take time to gel once Embiid is ready, and Orlando lost P5 for the foreseeable future. Only team that should really be worried is Milwaukee

Peyton Watson you’re up.

Maybe being in the starting lineup might help kickstart some of those young guys development.

Grayson bytch-ass is transforming into Ted Cruz in record time.

He gets away with it every time too. Truly fascinating to watch really.

 

[Street Knowledge]

Chets defense is incredible if healthy hes top 3 dpoty imo

He gonna be a perennial top 3 defender in his prime but also a 20 PPG scorer which is scary

this is low key an amazing amount of anticipation, body control, and awareness of where all the officials are

grayson could be a generational fighter pilot

I’m technically a Heat fan so why do I follow the heartbreak of the Clippers every season? They end up roping me into their spiral - am I psychological masochist?
