Official NBA General Discussion 2020-21 V1.0

I will never get how fans can come to such quick conclusion after one game (or 5 or 10 games).
AD and LeBron had no issues performing with Westbrook out there.
Last season after 10 games, same fans were saying the Wizards would be the worst team..they ended up making the playoffs.
The Lakers will be just fine.

I agree. It's only 1 game and the Lakers should be ok. However, one of their big 3 has to sacrifice their offense and I'm not sure which one will do it. Early on, it's looking like Russ should be the one taking a step back BUT his game isn't built for that. Logically, because he can do so many other things, it should be Lebron to pull back on offense in order to let Russ be Russ and AD still get his. It'll be fascinating to watch this season.

Westbrook needs to become a passer/ball handler exclusively. He cannot be allowed to shoot the ball. He's been a historically inefficient scorer the last few years. Basically, he needs to become Ben Simmons. Unfortunately, that's not the player the Lakers need, but they don't have a choice.

Not as pumped as previous seasons for some reason. The Nets vs Bucks was a snoozefest. Lakers vs GSW was so-so but kinda felt like watching a preseason game.

Was watching the start of Bulls vs Pistons and man I'm glad we're not the Pistons. I know Cade is injured, but what a crappy starting lineup. Bunch of G-League players. I thought Demar would make it exciting, but that died instantly.

Looking forward to our Raps in a little bit. Not really thrilled to watch the Wizards though, hoping it's a win for us.

Lmao, Knicks.

[Spates]

Very entertaining Knicks vs Celtics game!

[pingpongrac]

Brown with 43 points on 15/25 shooting while Tatum had 17 points on 6/24...and Tatum holds onto the ball for an off-balance air-ball midrange shot in a tie game and possession of the ball for 20 seconds at the end of OT lol.

[NotMyKawhi]

JV shot 3 for 19 from the field.

What happened to him. I can't remember a game he had for us shooting that bad.

[BBS22]

Stat of the day.

Demar made his first 3 pointer since March 2021.

The Suns are going to get exposed so hard this year. I never saw a team go on a luckier run than them last year.

Insane development.

This is what I want OG to eventually become but I don’t think he ever really reaches that level due to his stiff movements.

Of course Mobley went one pick ahead of the Raptors.

[Dr Positivity]

Much like Rose, Morant will have year 3 breakout

Good job by Delon to get into the defense to set up Huerter.

Never thought I'd ever say this, but I'm cheering for the Heat tonight!

Simmons for Westbrook. There's Morey's solution!

Hawks should consider trading Hunter, Reddish is ready to take his minutes

JB’s efficiency is insane. I’m still mind boggled at his numbers from last season

[And1+2]

Watching Doris Burke's monologue about the Bucks chasing their next championship makes me so depressed Kawhi didn't run it back.
