OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD: November 2019

Not really. Porzingis has been rather average. Luka amazing, of course but there's no duo.

Wiggins and KAT have been great.

Kristaps is at 18-9 after missing like a year and a half seems pretty good to me, oh and he’s been ineffecient I know but it hasnt cost them that many games. He missed a year, I think thats pretty good, even if a bit ineffecient.

And mind you that’s a down year too

He has been all right I agree. But putting his name next to Luka as big two is not right for now, he has basically performed slightly above average of that team but well below Luka, and well below KAT and Wiggins. It's obviously expected with him being out for a year prior to that.

Kyrie got big mad about being boo’d by Celtics fans lol.

Really surprises me more in here aren’t acknowledging the great start by the Lakers. Especially because so many didn’t think they’d amount to much.

Im sure there are Laker support groups if you need one.

They get more than enough recognition around here, thanks to you.

I was saying all summer that team was going to be really good. They built that team perfectly. They’ll end up probably with 12-15 loses all year only. Historic team so far

This surprises you how?

 

[royo]

This surprises you how?

To be honest I've got just enough time to keep track on Blazers, with all crazy stuff happening and it's not even december yet. Don't have time for other teams, let alone Fakers and Fakebron.

 

[THE HCP]

This surprises you how?

Because with SO many basketball expert’s on here, they wouldn’t let their hate for a team keep them from recognizing quality play. It’s a bit surprising.

I try my best to just not recognize that LA has basketball teams.

[andalusian]

I believe what was said was "they would be very good as long as they stay healthy". So far, they have.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Why do people always say good white players are like Larry Bird? Tom Guggliotta, Dirk Nowitzki, Luka etc.

Somebody put in the work to support the comparison.

No it doesn't.

They left Minneapolis long ago...they're called the Wolves now...

Theyve only played 4 playoff level teams and are 2-2 against them.

Go read Bleacher Report, they got you covered.

Wait, they've only played 4 games against teams that would be in the playoffs currently!?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I think thats right, I thought it was 5, but their schedule has not been tough...

 

[BonesJones]

Not currently, because Phoenix isnt making the playoffs.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Some teams can’t even beat non playoffs teams lmao

Harden is so talented not only is he a perennial MVP candidate, he's also a perennial MOF winner. MOF is of course, Most Obnoxious Flopper, although MOF might be able to be plugged into other phrases

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Jazz, Heat (I think they'll be a playoff team...), LAC, Mavericks, Nets. Though if you wanted to argue the nets aren't a playoff team I'd probably agree with you.

Mavericks + Nets equal 1 playoff team IMO.

They are 17-2. They, like every team play the schedule they are handed. They have the best record in the NBA.
Not sure what the 2nd line means, is this an attempted crack aimed my way?
