Exclusive Around the NBA: October 2022 - The regular season has arrived!

[Cugel]

The Pelicans with an absolutely horrible lineup to close out that quarter, lol

Pels are doing better than I expected but are starting to struggle.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Trade incoming…

Laker win incoming

If the Clippers are so deep, why can’t they handle the Thunder without PG/KL? We beat the Nuggets last night and we didn’t have PG/KL either.

Powell is playing terribly this season.

Wow, 8 players in doubles. Good thing Murphy was perfect, otherwise they lose that game.

 

[andalusian]

Entertaining gsw phx game

 

[OneSport3]

Man, Klay Thompson looks cooked. Those injuries might have been too catastrophic to fully come back from.

I love this game… preview of the WCF Warriors at Suns.

 

[MickZagger]

Chippy game going on between suns and warriors

They gotta get through Portland first

The warriors seem unsettled, unusual for them

 

[AldoTrapani]

Damn what happened to Norman Powell? He looks terrible this year

Jazz are winning too much. They need a tank commander.

If they really want to tank, would love to send Keon and Greg for Vanderbilt. We would be committing to small-ball, but I think we could make it work with the size and physicality of our 3s and 4s. The backup unit could be switch-heavy and feature Jerami, whose rebounding shortcomings would be covered up by Hart, GP, and Vanderbilt.

Lillard (32)/Simons (16)
Simons (16)/Hart (32)
Winslow (24)/Payton (24)
Grant (28)/Little (20)
Nurkic (28) /Vanderbilt (20)

Obviously we'd need Shaedon minutes, Hart seems to have the starting position on lock-down, and there are certain combos you just can't put out there because of lack of shooting, but that would be a filthy physical team.

I voted 5 in Oct....who are the other 3 and WHO are the 4 that voted 6?

Can't be me yet. i have changed my vote after every win so far. I'm up to 4 now. Makes me feel good to be right all the time.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Just saw Dame in my hood!

Was it really your hood or was it where you do that leaf blower thing?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Chill lol, I think it's super cool, it was just an observation

First thing i thought when i looked at it. "Why are the Shorts white?".

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Have not voted yet. Waiting for November. Hope to have enough data to get it right by that time.

It lets you change the vote. You can be correct right now and if they win another game.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Phoenix destroying Golden State. The Blazers beat Phoenix. The Blazers then must be better than the Warriors.

I did that right didn't I?

 

[OneSport3]

I don’t see this Warriors team repeating this season. Their defense looks terrible. They’ve allowed 70+ points in the 1st half 3 times this season. Klay Thompson can’t play D like before. They’re missing GP2 and Otto Porter Jr a lot.

I get he’s a hustler and all, but Winslow’s lack of shooting makes me not want to see him for more than 10mpg, let alone 24.

Keon + Brown isn’t going to get Vanderbilt imo. Another name to look at is Precious Achiuwa. He might cost less or more, I’m not totally sure, but a player of that type is what we need.

What does Achiuwa really offer that someone like Watford doesn't? Neither are really center sized. Doesn't seem worth the cost if we have a similar caliber player already here.

Chauncey for coach of the month!

Pels are doing better than I expected but are starting to struggle.

Thats what happens when you are missing 3 of your 5 starters thought right?

Not for the first 68 years of the NBA.

 

[Shaboid]

Dames never gone to the coast?!?!

CJ in full MeJ mode

Dude also had double-digit assists, and his team won without its two best players, so I'm not inclined to agree with your "full MeJ" assessment.

 

[Bob Dobalina]

Correct. Kind of hard to believe huh? Now you've got people actively coming out completely bashing the coast too. Like Chad Doing. @THE HCP went at him on Twitter about his comments though!
