NBA 2020-2021 Season Thread

So if seeding holds, the Nets will have to play the Heat, Bucks, and Sixers to make the NBA Finals.  Whereas the Sixers would have to play the Hornets, Hawks/Celtics, and Nets.  Egads the Nets messed that up resting Durant in that Sixers game.  He should have skipped the front end against the Wolves and played against the Sixers.  That is where a first year head coach doesn't do your team any favors.  Just a terrible decision from Nash.

2 things,
1. who says when to sit Durant is Nash's decision?  Durant and Kyrie were pretty open about their ideas of wanting to run that team.  I have little doubt Durant played a bigger part in that decision than Nash.
2. Nets won't have to play the Sixers - C's are going to polish them off in the second round thus the Nets are doomed to miss the finals when they play the C's in the ECF.

The Pistons are rolling a three rookie starting lineup tonight. Hayes, Bey and Stewart all getting the nod. They're also starting Tyler Cook (a sophomore) and Josh Jackson. Two 19 year-olds, one 21 year-old, one 23 year-old and one 24 year-old.

Crazy young lineup

Isaiah Stewart is currently eating Jarrett Allen alive. Showing why he was such a highly touted HS prospect

It is definitely Joel Embiid's MVP to lose....to lose to Steph Curry.

Curry is a better player than Lebron and doesn't get the recognition he deserves.

It's Jokic's award. Jokic has played 56 games, Embiid has played 38, and Curry has played 49. Denver is significantly better than Golden State but slightly worse than Philly, and Jokic has been a better player this season than both of them to boot.

This may be the worst foul call I've ever seen.  And that is saying something.

double OT nuggets/griz, jokic with 47/14/8 40 seconds to go up 3

Dennis Schroder talked an awful lot of crap the other night when the Lakers barely beat the Jazz in OT.

They're getting smoked in LA.
