Inside the NBA guys arguing Schroder vs. Rozier for title of best backup PG in the league, as if those two are the clear cut only 2 candidates worth mentioning.

Hasn’t Van Vleet been injured and not as good this season compared to last? Or did he have some great games that I missed?

Could be, haven't watched more than like 3 full Raps games so I'm not totally sure what form he's in. It's so early in the season I was just going off his healthy form from last year.

Rozier hasn't been playing too well either.

Celtics offense is really struggling out there, they have many good offensive options, it really doesn't make much sense.

Agreed about Rozier too. Schroeder probably standing out cause he’s actually had to fill in quite a bit.

Celtics and Spurs cant get a freaking basket this season :lol: the amount of tribulations they have to endure to get to 20-25 every quarter is comical compared to the other teams in todays nba

Lovely opening quarter by Suns. What happened to the "best" defense in NBA?

One of the so call 'stars' on the Celtics team need to play the bench 6th man role, but all their ego are too high to do that

Boston needs a hierarchy for their offense. Baynes has the same amount of shots as Kyrie in the 1st quarter. Morris with more shots than Hayward or Tatum. I just feel like offense is getting wasted.

He thought he had been wronged on the previous play so he ran down the court like a mad man and hard fouled TJ Warren. Not that big a deal really, but amusing nonetheless.

Actually, it makes a lot of sense. They don't play well together. Everybody wants to be a star. Nobody wants to be a role player.
