@raznomore said in NBA Season 20/21:
haven't seen much of this season. Moved house a week before Xmas and still waiting for the internet to be set up.
What I have seen is Trae Young is a great player. Wiggins is a bust for sure now. Curry is still the player that changed the game and people need to throw some respeck on his name - that is not a typo... The Pelicans are a fun team to watch but too young, probably. Zion is not a bust but might not be the next player to lead the game into the next phase. LaMelo Ball is NBA ready. I think he will be the rookie of the year. For once Westbrook is not the problem at his team. The Knicks haven't figured shit out and people need to just wait for them to implode instead of thinking they've turned some type of corner. Fultz is a very good player and Im happy he's found his feet.
Shocking jinx by you @raznomore
Did his ACL today. Out for the season.

@ACT-Crusader Pritchard had 23 points vs the Raptors earlier this week. Early signs suggest he's going to be a better pro than many thought.
-
Playoff feel to the Nuggets and Mavs game today. Big plays down the stretch and the two stars making plays
-
@ACT-Crusader pretty happy with that result. I picked the mavs as a slight under dog and they came through and kept my multi alive.

The regular season results are all over the place so far. Who expected the Spurs to beat the Lakers away? And a KD and Kyrie-less Nets beat the 76ers.
I reckon it’s going to be all over the place for the whole season with more guys getting Covid and having to sit out games and then the protocols around testing etc.

Watching the Pelicans now and one thing I noticed is Adams is looking more athletic this year compared to the last couple.

Might have something to do with the way they use him too. No more standing around watching Russ run about

That was Steph-effortless....

LaMelo Ball gets his first career triple-double(22/12/11). He was also one assist away from a triple-double in his last game.
Seems like he will be a better player than his brother. In their head to head Lonzo was inneffectual. But I haven't seen him on a regular basis so maybe I'm talking out of my ass

Youngest in NBA history to get a TD too. His best shooting game as well.
His influence on both games was pretty big. I think one thing that really helps LaMelo’s game is that both starting guards are shooting/scoring types and allows Ball to run the plays. Add on a dependable Hayward and an improving PJ Washington and they will be competitive in most games.

@ACT-Crusader I'm rooting for him because it makes the NBL a viable path and we may see more talent come this way.

Agree.
It will be interesting to see what happens with Jalen Green next year after his alternate pathway from High School to D League to Draft.
-
@mariner4life it'll end up being a secondary pathway IMO. the NCAA is going to let players make money sometime in the next year. Once the colleges figure out how they can exploit this then we are only really going to see G-League players in the NBL. We might end up as a Last Chance U for wayward superstars but I think just because of the corrupt bastards timing, of changing their stance on player payments, it's highly unlikely we will get blue chips again.
-
I just finished watching the Warriors v Raptors game, Curry hit his first shot and then didn’t hit another until there was less to an 3 minutes to go in the game.
Had plenty of good looks but just couldn’t hit.
Raptors are in a massive funk right now, but nonetheless a decent win for a Warriors team trying to get any sort of win!
-
Kyrie Irving has gone AWOL for undisclosed personal reasons. He was snapped at his sister's birthday party without a mask. There is no timetable on his return, and he will probably be stood down for not wearing said mask. Doing nothing to dispel the idea that he is a locker room cancer and allround bad teammate. I have no sympathy for KD though, he knew who he was getting into bed with

I feel sorry for Sean Marks, he must be spewing after carefully building a strong team culture
He knew what he was getting into with signing Kyrie.
Yes he did. Seduced by KD who wanted Kyrie as well. He swung for the fences but chose the wrong stars to hitch his wagon to
