PG popping like crazy.


Doncic's been on fire recently.


It's shaping up to be an even better season than I expected.

PG is picking up exactly where he left off last year before he got the shoulder injury, add to the fact that Kawhi hasn’t played with him yet and the Clippers still look very good. This gonna be one of the top dynamic duos to watch this season.

what can I say about Doncic, besides the high turnovers this man is doing it all.

He was MVP level before that injury, putting up crazy numbers iirc.

When he and Kawhi play together it's gonna be good imo. Two best two-way players in the league rn.

Spoiler

Let's see if that's enough to stop Caruso

True. I've been watching him play since he was in Real Madrid, he always racked up numbers in all categories, but he has improved his scoring and shooting a lot. Dallas is gonna be fun to watch in the next seasons.

Doncic is muh fav player, this dude is what people predicted Zion Williams will be. I think he will be the Messi of the NBA. Pure talent.

Lmao Westrbook’s interviews always got something going

“running around doin nothin”

 

[Nidai_Kitetsu]

Rockets are looking pretty good

It's too early but it seems it will be again Giannia vs Harden for the MVP

 

[Light D Lamperouge]

Doncic is on fire tho
near 30 points per game, 29,5
10.7 rebs per game
9.3 ast

If he can keep this up, imo it's unrealistic, but Brodie won the MVP with similar number


and the Mavs are number 5


I guess the top 4 are untouchable tho
Lakers Clippers Denver and Houston

Aye, don't do my boi Brodie like that.

U gotta love Sports analysts cause this is what they said about Zion before injury:

"Analyst: He is already top 50 NBA player."
"Female Reporter: Will he reach playoffs?"
"Analyst: Don't know, Western Conference looks scary right now."

If Zion was putting in Luka's numbers & if Pelicans were top 5 Western Conference media would have already named him Lord Zion, future GOAT.

This is true. Media tend to influence a lot. Luckily, true fans and enthusiasts can differentiate.

Ben Simmons makes 1st career 3 pointer. One more & he surpasses Shaq.

Warriors lose by 50 to the Mavs. Can’t wait ‘till they get the #1 overall pick!..

Lmao the Warriors could legit be an all star team again if they use that pick to trade for a star lmao.

I smell Raptors double ring.

I smell Raptors double ring.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they made a run to the Eastern Conference Finals, that’s the best case scenario for them though.

Nah b. Anything less than an ECF would be a disappointment.

-Finals would be an overachievement (realistic best case scenario)
-Championship is out of reach but not impossible

I think the the top of the east (Bucks and Sixers) got much more firepower than the Raptors and teams like Miami and Boston are proving to be better then expected, and could compete for a conference finals as well. Raps more than likely get knocked out in the second vs a legit finals contender in the Bucks or Sixers (Ik Philly sucks right now). But it depends on seeding, thats why I think they can make the conference finals and it wouldn’t be a surprise. Too early to tell tho.

I think the GSW staff is incompetent. They don't know how to assemble a good team. It was Mark Jackson who created the championship team.

Dont be so cocky.

- You lost a generational talent
- Raptors has always been great during regular season since Derozan-Lowry era
- The championship team always starts the season with a lot of momentum, dont jump to conclusion

ECF will be a great achievement for this team.

I think they wont reach ECF

I think the GSW staff is incompetent.

I agree, they thought Curry alone could win them championship and Draymond is a max player. They let Iggy and Livingstone go at the same time which was a big mistake.

I know its not a popular opinion, but Steve Kerr is overrated.

If Zion was putting in Luka's numbers & if Pelicans were top 5 Western Conference media would have already named him Lord Zion, future GOAT.

Right, lmao. The media even hate light skin players. Physical attributes are way more valued than skill in NBA.

 

[ZenZu]

Just saying. Anything short of ECF will be a disappointment. Teams too good to be happy with a 2nd round exit.

I agree they shouldn't be the favourites over Sixers and or Bucks, so if they end up facing either of these 2 teams earlier on that's understandable. Depends on the seeding entirely.

 

[OmegaPsyche]

Right, lmao. The media even hate light skin players. Physical attributes are way more valued than skill in NBA.

There is discrimination, no doubt.

Zion is a jumping bulldozer. He'll be dominant for 4-5 years when his body will reach its peak maturity & afterwards he'll disappear into da sunset cause of injuries.

 

[Noyman]

Lmao the Warriors could legit be an all star team again if they use that pick to trade for a star lmao.

They're lucky that they're all injured at the same time, lol. @Brix Are you a tank commander now that your team is done kicking all our asses?

If Zion was putting in Luka's numbers & if Pelicans were top 5 Western Conference media would have already named him Lord Zion, future GOAT.

Spoiler

I'm still in the bandwagon that he'll be better than Luka, who's averaging a near-TD in his second season and Zion has had injury problems in his 1st season.
