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

[Shaboid]

You seemed to have had a negative slant on his injury. Mentioning his shot being blocked, but not the crash to the floor from 10 feet up. My bad.

Him falling was a result of the block. He is skilled, sure. His biggest problem the entire time he's been in the league has been his health, or lack there of. The best ability is often availability...

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I'm sure it's just me being a hater, but I can't watch that Zion injury video without thinking that the ball wouldn't have been available to be blocked if he didn't try to cock it back for a spectacular one-handed tomahawk jam. Had he just gone straight up with two hands, he'd likely still be uninjured (for now).

Why would any team help the Lakers?

 

[THE HCP]

People don’t understand that this is a business. Other teams don’t HATE other teams. They don’t look at it as if they are “helping” the Lakers.

Why do the shorts not match the top lol

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

He injured himself when he fell wrong.

If he keeps trying to be like Kobe instead of like Barkely, these type of injuries will keep happening.

Thats what you got from the pic?
The place opens up this weekend. I assume they are going to paint the shorts black when they finish.

Yeah it's obvious. Not a good move by Zion. He put himself where he could get seriously injured without even a foul by the defender.

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

Dennis Smith Jr. had a nice game for Charlotte in their win over Atlanta.

I really liked Jeremy Sochan in the 2022 draft. He's a starter for the Spurs and had a nice game against Minnesota. Although the whole Spur roster probably did in that game.
He was defending KAT in the portions of the game that I watched.
Wish we could see more Jabari Walker. He might be just as good overall (with his 3-point shooting) as Sochan.

5 fouls in 23 minutes? BUST!

 

[andalusian]

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

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

 

[Eastoff]

I agree, the contrast is a little jarring.

...isn't that where Russ has the most admiration amongst fans? I think he will love Utah!

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Where do I find my crow? I need to eat several servings!

Don't eat this one. He's as least as smart as some of the people i know.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Who voted 0 for Oct" Identify yourself

That was me.

I like to set my expectations low. That way I’m almost always pleasantly surprised.

4-0! Whoop! Whoop!

 

[DDolla]

Bandwagon Stephen A Smith

 

[Eastoff]

I voted for 1 win.

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

I like the guy but we needed someone with a higher ceiling.

The Spurs led the Timberwolves by 35 points early in the 4th quarter in tonight's game in Minnesota. 35 points.
A recap of the Timberwolves trade to get Rudy Gobert:

Timberwolves receive:
• Rudy Gobert

Jazz receive:
• Malik Beasley
• Patrick Beverley
• Leandro Bolmaro
• Walker Kessler (No. 22 pick in 2022 Draft)
• Jarred Vanderbilt
• 2023 first-round pick
• 2025 first-round pick
• 2026 pick swap
• 2027 first-round pick
• 2029 first-round pick

This might be one of the worst trades in NBA history. Gobert isn't worth close to that much

 

[SIeepwalker]

Damn I predicted 4 wins, but now I want 5...

 

[Pinwheel1]

So Zion and Ingram and Jones are out tonight for a national TV game? That makes it less entertaining.

 

[DDolla]

Trade incoming…

 

[Cugel]

cj dishing dimes like crazy tonight

cj dishing dimes like crazy tonight

CJ showing Luka what a PG looks like? Crazy.

 

[Wade Garrett]

Cj will get his 25-30 almost every night.
But dam..I do not miss the dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble shoot that eventually infects the entire offense, that it takes for him to get it.

 

[Predator]

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