Random NBA Observations 2024 - 2025

[pete clemenza]

cam getting frustrated with hai usuage in Houston. He’s Mr. Per 36 but nothin he does will warrant him a bigger role with Ime. Sound like he wants out of Houston. Rockets better sell high before he become a distraction noticeable by the league and kills his value

Clipps will take him in a heartbeat. I wonder what's the asking price?

damn, Ja really lost his momentum with last year's suspension and injuries, behind old ass Harden in fan voting

SGA number one with a milly votes. Ahead of Steph

Giannis with the most votes

Paolo top 4 ahead of Jaylen.

Fans love them some LaMelo. If dude could start winning and just stay healthy

It does reveal a bit about perceived popularity (Kyrie, Trae, Ja, Ant) vs actual popularity as far as who the fans want to see.

Interestingly, the top vote getters at each position (Jokic, Giannis, Shai, LaMelo) are all 30ppg scorers

Also, seems like both the actual NYK fans and the casual ones have chosen KAT as their guy to rally behind. Didn't expect Brunson to be that low

 

[Primetime]

Also shout out to Norman Powell

People don't realize he's been claiming he's an all star caliber player since he joined the Clippers; every year he'd make the claim that this would be his year.

Now look at him, 10th on the guard list

Since McCain got hurt, the ROY race hasn't been discussed or mentioned much, but someone has to win it

I'm guessing Zach Edey or Yves Missi is probably the favorite

He's 20 years old and can hoop, despite the slump this year. There's not a lot of room for minutes with all the wings in Houston, time to consolidate

Jsut play the wings(Tari, Amen, Cam) off the bench. Stop playing Reed, Tate, and Adams. And Tari been out since early December. Almost 10 games. Dillon Brooks has missed a couple of games over that stretch. Cam barely getting rotation minutes. Last night Tari and amen didn’t play and Cam still couldn’t sniff 20 minutes despite having 18 pts and heating up. He’s shooting 50-45-90 over the last 7 games averting 14 pts but only 15 minutes a game. His defense has improved since coming back. Hes not having that mental breakdowns for easy buckets. He’s getting stocks. Like eh sis’s what more he got to do show he belong in the rotation. He’s probabaly feeling disrespected. Got disrespected by the league when he clearly was a top lottery talent. In the to6 selected only Wemby and Amen been better. If he was in Charlotte he’s be putting up better number than Miller. He had a solid rookie year and was looking to expound on that but upon entering his 2nd year, Ime breaks his own team code where he said minutes are earned, not given, and give all the developmental minutes to Reed in front of Cam despite Reed being the worst performing of the lotto picks this draft. That’s why he saying it don’t matter really. The coaching saying the culture works one way but then lying to you in your face with his decisions.


There’s no reason that FVV should be laying 40+ minutes like he did last night. FVV played almost the entire game and didn’t score his first fg until the 4th quarter

 

[Osmar]

yeah Thunder-Grizzlies should have been on National TV this past Sunday too

I know Sunday is for the NFL, but why not give national NBA fans a chance to watch top two seeds play?

Jokic, Giannis & Tatum with more votes than LeBron & KD

SGA, Luka & LaMelo with more votes than Steph

Since McCain got hurt, the ROY race hasn't been discussed or mentioned much, but someone has to win it

I'm guessing Zach Edey or Yves Missi is probably the favorite

It’s basically become a contest of who can average the most impressive 12/8 between Edey & Missi

 

[FakeNews]

at least put it on NBA TV Do better NBA and its TV partners.

Yeah about the NYK it seems like KAT has ascended over Brunson in terms of popularity.

Jokic, Giannis & Tatum with more votes than LeBron & KD

SGA, Luka & LaMelo with more votes than Steph

This dude Lamelo got more votesl than Steph, Luka, Kyrie, Ant, Spida and even Wemby

 

[iamduval]

Lamelo being more popular than Ja is something I knew already but this pretty much confirms it

 

[aceboon]

Steph slipping in popularity kinda surprising, especially coming off of that Olympic ending

Yeah the NBA’s national scheduling of OKC this year is a bit bizarre. They were a 1 seed with the MVP runner up, brought all their core back plus added pieces

Idk if the league was betting on them to take a step back this season or just don’t value them bc of their market or both.

As for LaMelo, he’s super popular with the kids

 

[JoelB]

Lamelo being more popular than Ja is something I knew already but this pretty much confirms it

We were talking bout this a couple weeks ago when the nba posted their most popular players list @42 Monks Even with LaMelo hurt all the time he gets the computers 'puting
