Yep - O.o


Can’t believe Gobert got 200 million. He’s the tallest guy on the court most nights and he’s a terrible rebounder.
Besides blocking shots he’s not great

Huge Conley three Jazz back up 6


Official: On 1-1-21, Laker victory, Clipper loss.

Don't look now but Nugs only down 2 with 30 seconds left vs Suns.

Easily Lebron's ugliest 4th quarter since game 2 of the Nuggets series. So thankful for this win.

Lucky he didn't get called for that offensive foul.


Yep it looks like this season Lebron and AD are on a mission to get more buckets.

Both of them putting up +25 shot attempts with a much lower field goal percentage from what we’re used to seeing.

If Nuggets beat the Suns, Lakers tied with Clips-Suns for 1st at 4-2. Would not that be funny.

Kinda funny that the Wizards win with Westbrook sitting out. I got downvoted into the abyss for bringing up Westbrook's efficiency on reddit.

Something I wouldn't have guessed considering how much we upgraded offensively.

And Clippers getting heads beaten in by Jazz...good times.

Clippers have come out with a major chip and motivation to win, we have come out coasting, out of sorts and looking to incorporate a couple of high usage guys on a team where AD-Bron still playing into shape. Yet 6 games in, both teams likely tied for 2nd. I hope we stay in striking distance of top seed until the new guys find their roles and understand the system.

Suns are not surprising me, knew they would start off strong with CP3. That team already had a lot of talent, you add CP3 to Booker-Ayton etc. and the Suns had played together for a while, now you add CP3, I saw that coming.


I don't think they'll win a ship but with the addition of John Wall to the Rockets and Harden being a professional and playing ball they're gonna be a team to contend with. They're one of the better back courts in the league.

I think the Suns and Mavs will replace the Nuggets as a Western Elite. Then you add Portland.

The nuggets lost a lot of firepower with Jerami Grant and Mason Plumlee signing with Detroit. Jokic is definitely Italy feeling their absence.

Denver 1-4 🥴

If you call allowing the Hawks to score 141 in regulation a spanking then lol

Well, as far as I consider it, its not the number of points scored, its the size of the loss. If a team wins 88-10 that is an absolute demolition of the other club.

18 point win by the Hawks is definitely in the "blowout" realm as far as I'm concerned. So, count me in for a "LOL" as well.

NBA is intelligently experimenting with scheduling that reduces travel and time zone burden on their players.

Either way Brooklyn has no reason losing to Atlanta and I do not care that their roster is revamped.
Rondo didn’t even play as well lol.

Imagine the scrutiny the Lakers would get if/when we come out flat and lose to a scrub team this season?

Good grind out win. Nothing seem to come easy and they still get the W.

I’ll take it.

Still would like to see some better team defense though. Still allowing too many easy baskets. Either layups or not contesting 3pt shooters is becoming a habit. One I don’t like.

It’s a win. Let’s see if they can get a streak going.

At least it's an anomaly, and we can expect Bron to be around 50% by end of the year. For Westbrook, it's reality every night.
