NBA 2019-2020 season thread

The Mavs threw this game away. I was especially p---ed off about Maxi Kleber, he made a string of horrible plays to giftwrap the Lakers the game in overtime (missed his teammate cutting to the basket for an easy layup and attempted a crazy pass in the next possession).

Gotta think Carlisle hated that too.

KP was pretty weak down the stretch too

So was Doncic, he missed some runners that he should've made in OT (although he went nuts earlier on). The Lakers have been incredibly lucky so far imo.

Doncic also might have had a concussion at the end.  I was really surprised he was on the court at all.

Yeah, not sure if it was a matter of weakness after he and Dwight clashed noggins. Still, Dallas are young, whereas LA have two top ten players in the league and a bunch of experienced vets. Not a bad loss

Was checking out IT in that WIZ / HOU game - dude looked good.

Was GREAT to see him back...I think he had 17 points, too...I wish him well.

Just realized, but just 4-5 games in and there's only one undefeated team left in the NBA (Sixers: 4-0)

And every team has at least one win.

If IT keeps playing that well and stays healthy, he's going to draw interest from some playoff teams.

If IT, Beal and Rui keep playing well Washington could sneak into the playoffs...Wash just scored 158 points on a contender!

Which says more about the contender than the Wiz.  Don't expect the Wiz to make the playoffs but I guess they could still be in contention at the trade deadline.

Another loss against middle-of-the-road team for the Nets. I'm not even sure if Rockets are elite this season.

Good fun seeing Kyrie put up a triple double in a loss to a weak team

I don't know how good the Suns are. Was it really as simple as getting Baynes and Rubio? They defend their position well, are low usage, and are just smart players with a history of good +/- numbers, but I'm sure I'm missing something.

Monty Williams was a great hire for them.

Blazers up late first half over Sixers 65-50. They miss Embiid.

Which proves that talent can only take you so far if you don't have any leadership and good coaching.

76ers look dysfunctional without Embiid

[mr. dee]

Portland almost choked this one.

EDIT:
They did. lol
