NBA Week 4 Thread where Clippers are 0-4 under Hardens system

[srobbo]

Indy steaming home here. Trailed by 20!!

This is the most watchable Sixers side since the first year Ben played with Brett as coach... since then they have been a boring soul destroying side to watch.
I am sure we will regress at some stage, probably soon.. but so far really enjoying it
Maxey is an absolute delight

christ i didn't expect it so soon!

Rockets taking it up to Denver right now!

Great game

 

[Memphis]

The Porzingis and Jrue Holiday trades for Boston say hold my beer !

We have easily the best, most defensive and dynamic backcourt in the East now.

But Philly won the trade simply by addition by subtraction with Maxey's growth and improvement (prolly up there in the most improved player chances this year along with Sengun of the Rockets)

That trade stacked their bench which is why I give it the edge over us, our starting 5 got stacked but our bench is average at best.

And also the fact that they traded away jim who is putting up bad numbers for the clippers which he most likely would’ve done for the 76ers.

 

[Memphis]

Oubre's injury after being hit by a car (fractured ribs) is really sad for me, esp as he is in a contract year and playing some of the best hoops of his career at the Sixers.

Be interesting to see what Philly and Morey do with Harris and his expiring contract. Could be a decent piece for a potential trade for Philly to get either a 3rd star or improve the depth and bench

That is so unfortunate for him and not fair.

Man was going off whilst playing at a minimum contract.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Wow Maxey could get a 50 point piece against quality if young opposition.

Definitely going to be an An All NBA Team selection this season.

He might might be a 3rd team chance if he keeps this up but the league is so stacked even that isn’t a lock! All star looking more and more likely every game though

 

[hamG]

So Harden leaving Philly has elevated Tyrese Maxey to maxey contract territory. He's a giver old James.

 

[Iceman!]

What a way to bring up his first 50! Maxey is a stud!

 

[peternorth]

Another Suns game on ESPN.



(cause its a thuder game)

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Not enough hate on the Suns. I get they have injuries and what not but that ****ing bench is like a kick to the face. They just dont have the pieces around the big 3 at all.

 

[samFFC]

Maxey doing his best to outshine him!

Worried about no Oubre, but if these two keep cooking, we are looking good!

Still have moves to make so wouldnt worry. 76ers looking alot better. I feel PJ Tucker was a bit of a issue in that lineup too and having him out of it is helping also

You just know Chicago or the Knicks would be stupid enough to sell the farm and future for a broken down Kawhi or overrated Pandemic P

Paul George or Leonard would work on 76ers I think also

0% chance the Clipps are doing that surely.

They came in to the season with an insanely high pay roll and almost no picks until 2030. They decide to make that pay roll higher and trade the few remaining picks they did have. They are about to open a new stadium, no way they do that with no talent and no future.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Calling it now, Houston are making the playoffs (not just the play in, will finish ahead of the Lakers, Pels, Dubs etc)

Kawhi (If healthy yes) but Philly need a more pure point guard/play maker than PG with the rise of Maxey

 

[Gak Attack]

Uncle Jeff stepping up!

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Hope Landale likes his 8 mill this year as Rockets aint giving him another cent after June 2024.

Was a stupid contract to sign I thought from day one. Should have taken 3/18 elsewhere

 

[Gak Attack]

Oh we gonna choke this

 

[Gak Attack]

Big steal by NBL's own Tate!

Get in. Ime getting the Silas and KPJ out of these guys real quick.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Lol Denver

Well done Houston, see you in the playoffs again!

His play has been horrible to start the year, it's a game-by-game decision if he finds minutes in the rotation at the moment.

I'll give him a bit more time given his injuries and a new team but yeah has not looked great.
