NBA 2020-2021 Season Thread

[Celtics2021]

Whichever of the top 2 seeds draws the Raptors as a first round opponent will not be happy.

Doing some scoreboard watching.

Heat with a big loss against Minny.

Knicks currently up in a close game vs the Mavs. Need the Mavs to pull that one out as NYK breathing down the Cs neck.

What is going on with Miami? They have too many good veteran players to be a .500 team. Crazy...

I do t think they are that great tbh. Last year distorted people’s view of them. They had a crazy playoffs and benefited from playing the opponents they did when they did. Plus, Oladipo looks like he’ll be out injured (again) so not sure they’ll have enough juice this year.

What flaws of the Heat are being exposed I wonder?

I don’t think they are great either, but they should be better than .500 with Butler, Bam, Herro, Dragic, Duncan, Nunn, Iguadala, Ariza... Plus an excellent coach.

Butler and Bam are good players. Herro has taken step back this year. Dragic is a year older. Robinson is a one trick pony. Iguadala/Ariza are ancient. Nunn is sort of a nobody. Spo is a great coach and very underrated imo.

Durant left the game today with a left thigh contusion

Durant left the game today with a left thigh contusion

He's not going to make an All NBA Team by missing so many games. But more importantly if he's not going to be able to play (all) games in the playoffs then the Nets may not be the favourites anymore to win the Championship.

Could that mean Tatum could make the 2nd team All NBA?!

BAM!!!!

[gouki88]

Since missing the Memphis game Jayson Tatum has been averaging 28.7PPG, 8.0RPG, 3.9APG, and 1SPG on 50.2% FG shooting, 40.3% 3PT shooting and 91.7% FT shooting. Not too bad

Dunno if anyone saw that Knicks game or the recap -

... but boy do I love watching D.Rose.

What an absolute constable of a unit this bloke is.

He really adjusted a game based on athleticism into a game based on fundamental Oldman skills now. He's a joy to watch. That Knicks team is playing way over their heads. Thibs is an amazing head coach.

All of this, plus Rose just oozes basketball outta every pore man.

I'm sure it's old news but I love rewatching that heartbreaking documentary about his career. It's one of the most gut-wrenching things you'll see.

After an Achilles injuries, players are not the same.. Durant still going be good but he going have a lot of leg problems

[Rondo9]

Miles Bridges is really taking off!

[Jiri Welsch]

Hawks, Knicks, Heat, and Hornets all win tonight. Not ideal.

Looks like the Celtics need to just keep winning.
