NBA discussion thread

[Noyman]

So the Jazz just dropped 49 points in a quarter and were still down by 21 points lmfao. NBA this year is wildin with some of these numbers.

It's gotten a lot more strange but exciting at the same time. Like T-Wolves and Suns have the last 2 playoff spots in the WEST. Andrew Wiggins aka Maple Jordan is balling for MIP! Hopefully, MIN makes the playoffs.

Whatchu mean? Lebron ain’t playing like father time has to come him, not yet. He’s still playing like he has played in recent years and he’s been more active defensively this season with AD shouldering some of the load offensively.

I don't think he's wrong tho when it comes to some load management for LeBron. Can't expect him to be the same every year when there are already signs of him breaking down from last year. I'll wait and see but it's wise for LA not to tempt with fate even though he might not like it. He's superman tho


Btw, congrats to Melo on being WC player of the week! Harden averaged 47 on better shooting also Doncic with a near triple-double but whatever, lol.

I think we’ll see load management on Lebron towards the end of the season but the Lakers seem to be content with mainting the 1 seed in the West and they’ll need Lebron to play for that.

Btw I added a poll, I might be forgeting some teams, there’s more cases to be made this season.

 

[Nidai_Kitetsu]

Harden's ridiculous scoring streak continues this season. He will get more sympathy vote this year than Giannis in MVP voting

 

[Light D Lamperouge]

I cannot decide who to vote for. Some teams surprised me over the course of the season.

I guess Clippers and Lakers stand above as the ones who invested the most and who will probably push for the title the most. The champ is 90 percent going to be from the West imo, unless some wild shit happens lmao.

Harden's regular seasons games don't impress me anymore lol.

 

[Noyman]

Lol, Rockets blow a 9 point lead in 2 minutes and Harden with an offensive foul in .8 secs. Shades of Celtics/Marcus Smart *facepalm*

AD - 50 points.

I give it to LeBron, It seems that he uplifted AD, rubbed some of his aura onto him, made AD look like mvp candidate.

He did same thing to Irvin when they were playing together, who ain't shit without LeBron.

I find it funny how Kings beat Mavericks using their own former yugoslavian.

For real, why Are all good white nba players former yugoslavians? Wtf happened to white American players? I actually think there must be a Conspiracy against white American kids who wanna play basketball cause diversity or some shit like that.

 

[Haoshoku]

If this mans ain’t fired by the end of the year Imma legit stop watching the Bulls, its been unbearable.

Wtf happened to white American players?

+ Kevin Love, Brook Lopez, Nick Collison, Kyle Korver, Pat C, Donte Divenco recently Tyler Herro (this dude can ball) etc. I would say there’s a good amount of White Americans but yeah they’re not the majority, but its because of multiple factors.

The Raptors outdid themselves with this one, the use of lighting to remember that game winner on Philly lmao was very sleek. Nice tribute to the fun guy.

 

[Noyman]

Back-to-back 50+ point games with 5 FTs only from Harden. Heard he only scores from free throws.

Damn, that pic is a long time ago... :LOL:

Don't forget about Alex Caruso. He's the best from all of them!

Shit, Luka got injured. Hopefully, it's just a sprained ankle and not a broken one or an Achilles tear.

 

[OmegaPsyche]

Mavericks beat Bucks, Porzingis stepped up his game now that they don't have Luka. Porzingis loves dem deep 3s.
Also, Seth Curry can ball, he has potential to become a great player. I like him better than Golden State's D'angelo Russell.

 

[TheoryKing]

Where are the Dallas Mavericks in the poll?

Their bench is giving +53 without KP & Luka, this squad is deep and deadly.

@Noyman Think it's probably for the best that Luka didn't get drafted by the Kings. Hard to see Luka & Fox playing well together, seeing how dominant Luka is with the ball.

I mean I don't think Luka would be averaging a near-TD with the Kings but I believe him and D-Fox would've worked just 'cause they're great players and also it depends on the offensive style of the HC. Obviously, Luka and KP fit better together but SAC would be better this year had they drafted him, imo. If anything, it's more on Vlade that I was worried for Luka. He might screw up the young core that he has.

Playing in Indiana seems to be a place that bothers Lebron lmao, Lakers got blown off the court last season there too.

he's been beating them in the playoffs tho
missed two free throws
then went for a bad three instead of taking it to the hole.

Yeah it would have worked, Luka can play off the ball and serve as a catch and shoot in some plays and also serve as a secondary creator in the offense with Fox bringing up the ball. It’s just that when Luka plays his best as the lead ball handler but he’s shown at times he can make an impact without that.

And also if we gonna be honest Kings highkey one of the worst front offices in recent memory, they had no reason to fire the coach they had last year who really gave the young core an identity offensively. They replaced him with Walton, who ain’t bad but they just themselves back.

 

[LANJI CUCKSMOKE]

Luka will be scary good if he keeps it up.
looks a lot like magic , lebron did. less athletic but more of a shot.
giannis could become kevin durant esque as well if he works on that shot. so many possibilities.

Giannis has heart & puts in a lot of effort, but he don't have KD talent.
