Random NBA Observations 2024 - 2025

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

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.

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:

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
