Random NBA Observations 2024 - 2025

Damn this is double garbage time and we still can’t get no Cam in the game

He might be out of here

Murray really a Jokac merchant dawg this is crazy. I thought I got him at a steal where I drafted him in fantasy. nikka been complete ass he owe alot of that contract to Jokac. If Murray was best player on a team he'd be a worse Zach Lavine we never would hear of the nikka cause he'd be deep in lotto every year.

Told dudes this all last playoffs and prior to that.

In his own way and style Jokic is on that prime Shaq/LeBron level of dominance but you don’t stack rings without having a borderline talent monopoly like they did. The equivalent would be Jokic having a Tatum or SGA as his “sidekick”.

But as things stand, Murray/Porter looking like a poor man’s Parker/Ginobli Jeff Teague and Kyle Korver

The 1-10 in the West legit might be solidified already in November, would not be surprised at all

MPJ can't even lead the Nuggets past the Pels. @Squirrel from Meteor Man are you done or are you finished?

Norm Powell has to be an all-star this season. He’s been carrying the team every night on efficient numbers.

Harden sold big time tonight; Coffey is being forced into a role he’s just not good enough to play

Powell's numbers before you made this post - 26 ppg, 52% FG and 50% 3-PT.
Powell's numbers after you made this post - 13 ppg, 30% FG and 32% 3-PT.

You are the cotdamn Devil.

This is probably the most basketball I've watched this early in a season and the games have been great.

Yup. The box scores have been very entertaining also.
I can't hate on this season.

Pistons might get one of them play-in spots

The problem is a lot of these good games aren't on television in any sort of capacity.

Plus Silver being a fukking idiot and still promoting players over teams.

This is probably the most basketball I've watched this early in a season and the games have been great.

The quality of basketball (for me) has been great post all star game last year when the league decided to call less fouls. We see less flopping, players still complain to the refs too much, but that has gotten better too.

damn it feels good to be a rockets fan again. Can we get Cam in the game

Next five:

MIL
IND
POR
POR
MIN

I’d be pleased with 3-2. For me the minimum barometer of success this season is 10 games above .500.

46-36 were the 9th and 10 seeds last year. 49-33 was the 6th seed.

So if we can get to +10 early on, that’d be a big confidence booster for them, without hopefully ever a big slump during the dog days

Depends on Bucks and Sixers. I don't believe that Sixers and Bucks will be so bad entire season. They gotta get to play-in spots at least. That's two places reserved. Now if one of those two or both of them actually make it to the top 6, I can see Pistons in the play-in. Pistons in top 6? Would be really surprised.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Is Mitchell gonna be back for that game?

Yes.

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

I fear Cam is getting traded by the deadline

he doesn't strike me as someone who wants to sit on the bench or play in the g-league. wouldn't shock me if his team starts pushing for a trade. we won't get shyt for him tho

What are you guys doing? Didn't you hear? You're just supposed to complain about the NBA and basketball, not actually enjoy it. Forget all the talent and competitive teams, youre supposed to say how football is better or how 3 pointers make you too sad to watch a basketball game
