2018 Around the NBA - October

[HailBlazers]

Anybody check out AD's stat line. Holy moly! No wonder we lost to him!

And Jrue continuing his best GP Glove impression.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Dumping Vonleh will end up hurting more. Hopefully he keeps getting an opportunity. Portland fucked him over last season.

.

Vonleh 5 for 5 with ten rebounds and three assists in 16 minutes, plus 22.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Boban looks great. The problem is he can't last big minutes. But he dominating the last few minutes.

 

[hoopsjock]

Imagine not drafting Doncic.

Imagine drafting Doncic and then trading him for freaking Trae Young.

 

[illmatic99]

Boban unstoppable. Nugs aint winning 50 lol

 

[BlazerBeav]

This Denver team is predicted by many to finish ahead of the Blazers. This Denver team looks like the same team it was last year. Getting blow up late by Boban.

And Denver gave Malone a fucking extension today (or yesterday). They have a great roster but a shitty coach imo.

I think they have a coach and a bunch of players who just dont care about defense.

Dennis Smith Jr.'s off the dribble shooting still looks awful.

There's a lot of Nuggets haters in this forum...

Man the hype died fast with Smith. I remember there were Lillard comps a year ago.

I just dont think they look like they care on defense. They’ll win some games and maybe squeek into the playoffs.

 

[lawai'a]

Pelicans looking great.

they did look great, but with AD's and Jrue's injury history, a steady diet of 38-39 minute per night games each would seem unsustainable.

I had him #2 on my board...

It's weird though, I kinda hated watching him play at NC State but thought the combo of athleticism and skill level gave him a pretty high ceiling.

Still really young though.

 

[Rozay]

Denver looks better

They've given up 95 points on 96 possessions.

The Clippers are pretty average on offense, but that's a good defensive performance.

Yeah they pulled it out...guess malone knows what he's doing haha

 

[KingSpeed]

Rockets may not be good this year. They lost some key pieces and CP3 is starting to break down. They're going to regret that contract.

They'll still be very good because of Harden, but losing Mbah a Moute and Ariza and replacing them with Melo kills there defense. I've been saying this before today (when New Orleans dropped 130).

Speaking of New Orleans, I love their frontcourt. Randle, Mirotic, and Davis give you 3 elite but different skillsets. They all bring different things to the table. I'm jealous.

The three of them had great stat lines tonight. #1 seed material??

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Knicks' first basket of the season? Half court shot by a fan

Knicks start 0/10, Fitzdale calls a time-out

Random fan banks a half-court shot for $10,000

LoL

No lol.

 

[BonesJones]

So Allonzo Trier... this year's undrafted top level rookie? Should've seen it coming, he was a killer at Arizona.

Never liked his game, but bad teams need guys who can score so he'll get an opportunity.

 

[BonesJones]

I mean, if he can score efficiently combined with his energy, he'd be a good spark plug off the bench. Won't do much else but neither does Jamal Crawford, Lou Williams, etc.

 

[THE HCP]

Before reading tonight’s posts, should I guess that somebody thinks that NOLA will win the west and Houston is going to suck? Is that a good guess?

 

[THE HCP]

Or maybe Denver since they were down early aren’t as good as us?

 

[SIeepwalker]

Denver aren't as good as us for plenty of reasons

 

[LayneStaley]

Man I wish we woulda got in on Julius Randle.

 

[LayneStaley]

Melo Sucks.
