Random NBA Observations 2019 - 2020

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I don't think it particularly matters if the Lakers schedule has been easy or not; the discourse around it is largely irrelevant.

What should be the point of emphasis is that they've got arguably the best defensive personnel, combined with the greatest game-manager to ever play the game, and another top 5/10 player who's one of the most skilled big men in the league.

The Lakers are legit.

they were supposed to be right there with the Bucks for unquestioned best in the East, but Toronto & Boston have had something to say, and that was a shytty way to end the half as well

Jokic so far this season

16.1 PPG, 46.7 FG, 23.2 3PT

What the hell happened?

[The G.O.D II]

Pacers need to stop BSing and flip Sabonis for some assets, especially since you don’t know the certainty of Oladipo

 

[LezJepzin]

Kings got that comeback W on Denver

Why would they do that? If they're going to trade a big it would be Turner

Kings got that comeback W on Denver

We winning games without Fox and Bagley too.

I definitely owe Luke Walton an apology. He has the Kings competing and playing defense.

Turner a better scorer and rim protector

Nah Sabonis a much better scorer, Turner already unhappy because Pacers got better scorers this year(including an improved Sabonis) and his scoring opportunities have decreased.

Still don’t think they should have fired ole boy

 

[Flight]

Shots haven’t fell but I have liked how aggressive Ben has been offensively. Need to see that more.

 

[Nero Christ]

Giannis is cooking

and Robin Lopez is hitting 3s

Lakers have had a relatively light schedule but you can’t take away the fact that they’re dominating and/or winning against opponents they’re supposed to beat.

In an NBA game anyone can get got, especially if teams get hit from 3. You see how last night the Clippers got caught sleeping and got smoked, or when the Lakers got whooped by an undermanned Raptors squad.

The Lakers had a few lucky wins, but they’re pulling out W’s and creating some cushion for themselves. We’re not sure how they perform against upper tier teams yet, but it’s pretty clear both LA teams are top 3 in the NBA.

This is probably true, but it’s good for the league (revenue and marketing-wide) that the Lakers are on top again.

Even with the soft schedule there was no guarantee the Lakers would look this good this early.

I can’t say dominating. They’ve been in dog fights with a lot of bad teams
