NBA Season - now 24/25

well, it's all going well in Laker land
Blown out by the Suns yesterday, who weren't even playing that great.
The Lakers are poorly put together, the fan base is piling in to Westbrook, Davis is hurt again, and was playing shit anyway. LBJ carrying them, and that's going to take a toll on that old body.
Still a very even season, with only the Magic and the Pistons being really shit teams.

BBall is a young man's game, and LA got rid of all their best young guys. It reminds me of the Kobe/Nash/Howard LAL, really good on paper, but less so in practice

Wins for favoured teams everywhereI only watch him when Adams is playing him, but shiny cow the bloke can shoot. Never saw much else from him, but you don't need much else when you can drain it from 30ft with 6'7 of muscle in your face.

Offensively looked very at home and was okay defending the bigs. He was found a little wanting on the switches though.

Looooool Lebron
Jesus christ how can someone so good at this sport come across as such a petulant bitch all the time
Apparently thr only reason the Warriors and Suns are at the top is because they are the only teams not affected by illness and injury
The Warriors, no injuries...

@mariner4life it’s hilarious some of the talk about how the Warriors have been “unscathed” and that’s why they are on top.
Get this, the Warriors had a lineup during their game against the second best team in the Suns and on Christmas Day, that had Chiozza, Toscano-Anderson, Kuminga, Bjelica and Draymond Green on the court at once - a combined scoring average per game less than Curry’s!
Their system is off the charts and no name guys play with a lot of confidence!
-
Little purple patch for the Spurs too

Celtics lose after shooting 4 for 42 from 3. Yikes.
And Jaylen Brown just kept jacking them up! Was a terrible game by them.
A few first season coaches this season finding things a little tough…

And Jaylen goes off for 50 today, albeit against Orlando.
Just finished watching Josh Giddey play and get a triple double against the Mavs. No SGA or Dort and they were in the game with a bunch of absolute no names.
Youngest player in NBA history to get a triple double.

LOL yes, and the Suns just went through a patch without all of Ayton, McGee and Crowder. What a fucktard.

Great to see Klay back on the court after consecutive big injuries.
What will be interesting is how he plays with the second unit which all of them are different to when he last played in the 2019 finals run.
The mechanics of that jumper still look awesome though.
-
@act-crusader and that dunk!
And for anyone who missed this:

@voodoo Ja’s certainly on a tear at the moment. Not an AI level one, but maybe a Derrick Rose Bulls-like one 😉
Great seeing Stevie Adams make important contributions. His passing has taken a step up this season. Not sure about stats per game/48 mins, but to my eye he is the best offensive rebounder in the league. It’s the way he anticipates and then uses his feet to get to the ball.

I'm still calling it - check out the Year 3 comparison:
AI: 26.8 / 4.9 / 4.6 on .41 / .29 / .75 shooting, with 2 steals
JA: 24.7 / 5.7 / 6.7 on .49 / .38 / .77 shooting, with 1.4 stealsUncanny similarity, both absolute warriors. No question Ja is on the right path and has what it takes - biggest query will be whether he can stay healthy as he seems to have a total disregard for his body!
As for Adams, he is averaging 6 offensive rebounds per 36mins - #1 in the league ahead of Drummond (5.7) & McGee (5.2)

I think Adams always had these skills. He's just played with teams who didn't let him showcase them
