The Week 8 NBA Thread - where we should all congratulate the Lakers. Salt and vinegar optional.

Big weekend for the MVP race

• SGA game winner
• Luka 40 pt triple double (passes Wilt for 4th all time)
• Giannis 60 piece franchise record
• Embiid 40 piece with under 10 free throws

Kawhi Leonard has thrown his hat into the MVP Race. He has been absolutely killing it in the last 2 weeks and the rise of the Clippers is no coincidence

 

[Memphis]

I think it was yours to lose last year as well, truthfully.

Same applies for this year as well, although I think this year the Celtics will actually get it done.

I'm not calling anything at the moment but we have a new team and they look so refreshed.

 

[Memphis]

It's pretty crazy. I'm still not convinced we can sustain it yet, I've been burned too many times, but this team is so different to any Wolves outfit I've seen before. They look so mature and determined. Everyone's got their roles down, it's clicking beautifully, and there is a welcome lack of ego that is surprising for a Wolves team. We are so hard to score against for the most part. Fingers are crossed this is the year we can make some kinda splash in the post-season.

Finch has them rolling.

 

[Memphis]

JB been on a tear as of late.

 

[LewisHall]

Clippers looking good.

Not surprised harden gelled.

Westbrook is a handful when used in short bursts off the bench.

Bit surprised how many wrote off kawhi

 

[Memphis]

Another great with against the Magic.

Celtics jelling well.

14 undefeated at home.

The Week 9 NBA Thread - where Draymond says goodbye, and Ja says hello

Hello, and welcome to the brave new world of this week's NBA. Now that the in-season tournament has come and gone with great success - or at least that's what the league and its media partners keep telling us - it's back to the regular, uh, regular season. Not that anything is standing still...
