NBA Season 2021-22

Pelicans have announced Zion is now 100% and cleared for play.

Only a month after the Pellies season ended but at least he is finally there.....until he gets reinjured before the next season starts.

I wonder what the Pels could get if they moved Zion.  Do they really want to sign him to a max extension this summer?

I hear Westbrook is available! 😂

I don’t see why they would try to move him now. His stock is at an all time low. Let him play for a month and if he looks good, test the market then.

It's a risky play because he could get injured again at the drop of a hat.

I don’t think a team is going to give up much without seeing how he looks on the court first. He’s damaged goods right now.

Zion has immense value.  Not as much as he would have had he stepped on the court at the end of the year but still immense.  They'd get more than the 1st pick in the draft from Orlando, as an example (assuming Zion would go there on course).

I have a soft spot for Orlando and would actually love that for them. Super-marketable and his upside is through the roof. He would obviously need to sign an extension to make it worth it for them.

Golden State is really tough.  We're in for a dogfight that should be a great series.

Dude, we haven't even made the Finals lets not get far ahead of ourselves lol

But yeah looks like Golden State is in cruise control now. Dinwiddie has 17 but Doncic surprisingly only has 6 points.

The defensive scheme on Doncic has been super aggressive. Double-teaming on PnR's and basically trapping him back to the halfcourt line. Dallas has nice role players, but Brunson is kinda limited as an initiator and Dinwiddie is super streaky.

I don't think our defence will give up nearly 70 in a half though...

Assuming the C's advance, I think something to watch out for is that Golden State's shooting is much better than Miami's and Milwaukee's outside their star players. Curry doesn't even have to go off every game, they got Klay/Poole/Wiggins who are capable too. Now I agree we won't give up 70 to them in a half but we'll have to really tighten up and can't afford to play sloppy for large stretches. Golden State is battle tested and has obviously "been there, done that".

But we can diagnose the matchups more once the C's officially take care of business

Miami was a better shooting team than Golden State throughout the season, and both Brooklyn and Milwaukee were within 0.3% of them. I don't really get your point when you say " outside their star players" - Milwaukee and Miami both have stars who rely entirely on inside the arc offence and we still have handled their shooting fairly well.

They will also go from having a huge advantage on the interior to a massive disadvantage. Timelord helping off of Looney will stop everything at the rim. I'm confident.

We'll handle Miami tomorrow too

Shameful performance from Luka tonight.
