NBA 2021-2022

This Rockets team is everything you expect them to be. Fast, energetic, fun, but also haphazard, disorganised, chaotic. Looks like they're playing off the cuff.

Very fun to watch but frustrating at times.

Yeah they have no idea on how to hang onto a lead and close out a win yet. If I ignore the win/loss column, I might just enjoy the season for what it is.
 
Westbrook shot 7% from the field last night. No LeBron, AD played about 7 minutes.

7% :lol:

To be fair, he has shown flashes that he can make it work with the other 2 but he can't be shooting 7% ever!
 
He's a one man band for Dallas. Poor sod is destined to barely advance in the postseason until they can get some top tier talent around him. Or Cuban can bribe his way to realigning in the East.
 
Interesting to see the Jazz struggle vs Miami. They looked so good last season, and have so far this season too, but against a good defensive team they just can't score enough.

You're reading too much into one game, the Heat shot the ball well at an unsustainable rate. 60% from 3 and over 50% from 3! The Jazz are the better team and 115 is enough points to win with the way the refs are calling games so far this season.

I didn't see the 4th quarter, scoring 37 did make the stats look better.
 
It's early but......



BEST RECORD IN THE NBA BABY!!!!!!

Woohoo!!!!!!!
 
Lakers are such a funny team this season :lol:
 
It seems that my take on Westbrook and Lakers was correct? :angel: @Deery

Yeah he’s struggling to get going thought he would be much better with the players around him maybe all just getting older now.

Do you see the Celtics are interested in Ben Simmons might trade with Jaylen Brown I like brown but he’s injured a lot what you think?

I don't see the fit for Boston and with time I'm actually siding with @Sarni when it comes to Simmons value.

Philly win that Trade hands down. Jaylen is my 6th favourite player in the NBA. Would love to see it. Maybe they think Simmons will break out like Giannis if they clear the paint for him. you never know

From what I saw, it's the 76ers that want Brown not the Celtics that offered him. The Celtics apparently just inquired about Simmons.

I don’t think Brown has missed that many games in his career to be fair and he’s twice the player Simmons is. He also comes along quite bright and doesn’t have much drama around him. Maybe if Sixers throw in Thybulle, Maxey and about three unprotected firsts it would make more sense.

Wouldn’t even trade CJ for him now. CJ has been better than Lillard (last game aside) and I don’t really know much much of Lillard’s awful form is down to him deep down not wanting to be here anymore.

It crossed my mind that even trading CJ would be questionable if the return is Simmons, particularly when Lillard isn't supporting your offense as well as he used to. The same applies to my Wolves who somehow improved their defense but the offense struggles badly, imagine what it would be with Simmons?

I went on a 180 in a couple of months. :lol:

It would be sheer robbery. Unless the Sixers are sending a ton of picks along with Simmns.

Forget CJ, I wouldn't even trade Anfernee Simons for him now.

Your value can plummet very quickly in NBA, especially if you are on max contract and especially when you are a non-shooter, which both apply to him.

See Porzingis, once one of the most valuable players in the league, right now with his contract Dallas would probably struggle to offload him without attaching a pick.

He’s always missing games here and there, I like Brown too and he’s still relatively young so maybe keep him, the Celtics have said the rumours are not true however and there is no intention to trade Brown.

Simons has been so good this season. Exciting to see him get so many opportunities.

Yeah he's been good, in general those late first rounders taken recently by Blazers have been all right. They fluffed the 2017 draft which was a great opportunity by drafting Collins and Swanigan but have otherwise done fine with Trent, Simons and Little.

BTW hope Swanigan can get back to playing but it doesn't seem like it. He's about 400 lbs now... he's had tough life.

Lillard had a post commenting on Swanigan and his issues off the court. I really hope Dennis Smith Jr works out for us. I always liked him and felt he was hard done by the Mavs FO.

He looked good in his first season with them, once Luka came that pairing was impossible to sustain but DSJ went the wrong way.

I remember their core post Dirk was supposed to be DSJ, Barnes and Noel. None of them survived Luka. :lol:

And now they are stuck with Jason Kidd. Gotta feel for Luka :lol::lol:
 
Stayed awake to watch some games, went for Nuggets vs Miami, dunno are Miami players drunk or what but expected much better game. They are no where near showing top 5 offensive and defensive team.
 
Good comeback going in to half time. However, being on the second night of a back to back and having to exert so much energy to get back into it could hurt us in the second half. Bit worried.
 
Jokic just killed Morris, after Morris smashed him in ribs from a side.

Good win that. 50 from Steph. First game in a while he's put it all together shooting wise.
