Random NBA Observations 2020 - 2021

West is 30 games up on the East in the head-to-head.

You're calling 14-11 as the 6/7 seed a "shytty record" in the West when that would be the #3 seed in the East.


There are 7 teams in the East that are at least 4 games under .500. Four of those teams are at least 6 games under, two of those teams are over 10 games under. Meanwhile, in the entire fukking Western Conference there's only ONE team that's more than 3 games under .500.

fukk, there's only 5 teams in the West that have losing records at all, while there's almost that many East teams that are SIX games under .500.

I swear some of y'all don't live in reality.

The west is shytty beyond 3 teams the records stink they are marginally better and its 25 games in....the records will balance out.

We both know those records are misleading in this debate and that said theres not much difference when u go outside the top 3 in each conference....

30 games better in the head-to-head after just 25 games played isn't "marginally" better, it's a fukking blowout.

One of those teams that you call "shytty" just beat the Bucks who are #2 in the East and now is only 1/2 a game off of them....in fact the Bucks are just 4-4 against the West. Sixers are 3-3 against the West. They're the only two teams with a good record in the East and even THEY can't beat those "shytty" Western teams.

The Suns/Blazers/Spurs/Nuggets that you call shytty are FAR better teams than the fukking Raptors/Pacers/Hornets/Hawks on the other side.

The West top-3 have played much better than the East top-3. The West #4-#8 have played much better than the East #4-#8. The West lottery teams have played much better than the East lottery teams. West is better than the East right now from top to bottom.

Better but shytty....nobody after 4th seed is decent and 4-6 in the east have just under performed for a variety of reasons...it.will even out over a full season....

I'm talking the real results, you're talking imaginary results.

You're calling the Suns "shytty" when they've beaten 4 of the top 6 teams in the East. If they're so shytty then how did Milwaukee, Boston, Toronto, and Indiana ALL lose to them?

The "shytty" Spurs/Blazers/Nuggets are a combined 14-6 against the East with multiple wins over Boston and Philly.

You moved the goalposts, your original post said that the West was shytty outside of Jazz/Clippers/Lakers. Now you're admitting that the #4 suns are kicking ass in the East as well.

Let's keep moving those goalposts further. The "shytty" Spurs/Blazers/Nuggets in the 5/6/7 seed are a combined 14-6 against the East with multiple wins over Boston and Philly.

Warriors in the #8 seed are 4-5 against the East only cause three of their losses came to the top 3 East teams.

The fukking Grizzlies in the #9 seed are 6-5 against the East with 2 wins over the Nets and one over the Sixers.

Kings all the way back in the #10 seed are 6-3 against the East with wins over Boston, Indiana, and Toronto.

Mavs are in the 11-seed with a losing record....but they're 6-5 against the East.

fukking Pelicans are the 12-seed in the West.....still 5-4 against the East with wins over Bucks, Pacers, and twice against the Raptors.

Rockets almost at the bottom of the West in the 13-seed....but 3-3 against the East.

OKC is the next to worst team in the entire West.....but they're 5-3 against the East including a win over the Nets.


Let's repeat that....Thunder just 5-11 against other Western teams but 5-3 against Eastern teams.

Entire Western Conference is running a train on the East and even your top-4 teams have taken a beating.

shot clock off 3 point lead and harrell has the ball just inside the 3 point line and you sag off of him and allow him to pass and set a screen to give lebron a good look from 3. its dumb not to foul there.

Game over.

I don't watch enough Bulls games but I'd be interested to see how he compares to Tatum, Booker, etc.. across the board. Not just stats, but eye-test, 'tangibles, etc.

Could Zach possibly be the best light skin nygga in the league after Wardell?

Tatum is a much much much better defender than Zach. And of course he's proven himself in the playoffs which LaVine has yet to do.

If you're talking about pure scoring, Tatum looks more polished but isn't necessarily more effective. It's difficult to compare to someone on a team that's been bad for so long though because the opportunities are just different when the stakes are lower.

Ingram is struggling this year. He’s still an all star caliber player, shouldn’t make it this year but I had a feeling it would take a while/won’t ever work with and Zion.
