NBA Week 1 - Tip off October 25

[Elmer_Hauser]

Problem is someone has to give up something for Harden to accomplish that. No one is offering anything remotely helpful.

If Chicago look to blow it up, Lavine would be an option i think (assuming they can get the contracts to work) problem is, Morey would want significantly other assets/picks as well.

Ideally DeRozan is a better fit, but apparently he wants to retire in Chicago.

Also i think Philly should trade Harden cause I feel like he is just hampering Maxey's own development and growth

I do not rate a Lavine/Maxey back court and the contract is awful.

Durant is still very good folks.

Would be foolish for anyone to write him off.

 

[Memphis]

Why are the lakers settling for the 3? Drive at them.

 

[DT_35]

Both these teams suck lol

 

[Memphis]

There goes that minutes restriction on Lebron lasted one game.

 

[DT_35]

Nurkic could be an unexpected weapon for The Suns, he was great tonight.

Bump

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Another good game in what's been a very solid and entertaining start to the season so far. AD and esp LeBron stood up for the Lakers when it matter, KD couldn't do it all by himself.

I feel like there is more to worry from a Lakers perspective than a Suns one going forwards tbh. But it's only the start of the season.

Thanks Nurkic for butchering my SGM

Had him for 10 rebounds and he finshed with 9 after 8 in the 1stQ

 

[Gigantic]

Eric Gordon the chucker with a -27

Laker nation!

Laker nation!

Yep good, close win against an NBL side.

 

[fidstar]

Anyone tanking

That would be the * checks notes * the Wiz.

 

[fidstar]

Depends on how you rate him I guess..

KD's still a top-10 player in the NBA at age 35. One of the best of his generation. Destined for the hall of fame.

But I don't think he's in the "all-time" conversations, certaintly not top 30 for me.

There's not 30 better players to have played the game than KD.

 

[The King!]

Giannis was average , odd shot selection. Dame was great

 

[Memphis]

Can't wait for the Heat tomorrow going to be a decent game.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Bit frustrating there is so many other good/entertaining games on at or during the same time as Heat @ Celtics.

I should do what Bill Simmons has and get 3 TVs !

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Going to start watching more Hornets game in future on League Pass, Ashley ShamAhmadi is rather cute!

 

[Memphis]

What a block by White.

 

[peternorth]

No, I just find it despicable having callers on a National Broadcaster (not a local station) actively pleading for fouls to be called against The Suns.

That's what I have an issue with. That crusty old fart yelling WOOD NO, WOOD YES, was the tipping point for.me.

Probably before your time, but Marv Albert made Jordan....YES! a staple.

 

[Memphis]

2 fouls for KP and joe leaves him in ffs.

Oh I remember Marv (and more specifically his scandal involving a prostitute in a New York Hotel)

Great caller but very weird man.

Spo taking him to the cleaners again..

Bam is killing us (again)

Need Jaylen to start getting his mojo back

 

[Jack Richards]

This is the Boston we know turns up (and it's not the good one).

 

[LB#16]

Thought I had the Celtics commentary on. Alas, no, just ESPN.
