I think the Clippers will be fine in the long run and they still remain my favorites in the West.

But yeah, these are some surprising early losses for them.

[Phantom255x]

Also, it's still way way early in the season. But it's actually funny when you look at the standings. The Top-6 teams in the East are all 7-4 or better. Everyone else under them is 4-6 or worse

Wouldn't expect the Mavs to lose to the Knicks twice, but here we are.

[CelticSooner]

So Paul George in his return game comes in and drops 33-9-4 in 24 minutes. 

I don't care what the Clippers record is right now, that's scary for the rest of the league.

Me neither but Kawhi and PG needs to gel as early as possible.

In a loss ... Now 7-5 on the year.

Jokic is so lazy.

Jokic is so lazy.

He isn't called "Fatkic" without a reason.

Plumlee sits and the league evaporated, lol. I'd argue that he's the reason why Denver is competitive for the last 2 and a half years.

Yeah he's a really good high energy big man.

Nets fall to a 4-7 record

Nets fall to a 4-7 record

anyone see kyrie chew out his coach on the 1st quarter? Lol they're imploding

10 games in before today and there's been reports of Kyrie Mood swings, kyrie yelling at teammates, pushing teammates, chewing out KA during a game, hero ball. This is who Kyrie is


After the summer free agency moves every hot take was that the nets were way better than us

I'm reading a lot of nets fans wish they kept russell

Has Ben Simmons improved at all since entering the league?

His stats are remarkably similar over the course of his career so far.

I think he recognizes defenses and coverages a bit better.

But I don't think he's really added much to his game. Still primarily a transition player. It is shocking how steady his stats are.

His stats are actually down quite a bit across the board in every category except steals (both adv, per 36 and advanced). He isn't really even in contention for an all star birth right now with Irving, Walker, Young, Beal all significantly lapping him. Definitely concerning given this is his third year (and he had some extra developmental time after being drafted to work with professional staff)

Who the heck is Young?

Trae Young

Averaging 28 and 8 with 46% shooting, just led hawks over denver in denver.

Oh, I feel silly now....gotta get used to the new generation of stars. God I miss Pierce, Dirk, Duncan, KG

At least the new generation of stars are fun to watch! But yes I miss KG, Pierce and Duncan as well.

Kyrie is a team chemistry killer.  So glad he is gone.
