Wonder why Siakam is randomly having a big year after 2 kind of disappointing ones?


2? he had one bad year - and it wasn't even that bad in tampa.

he was 3rd team all nba last year.


I thought he'd take a bigger leap after that great 2020 season, but you're right last year was really good so it was more one year.

He's been on the ground several times today with no contact.

Melo and amare should thrive in this offense. If Jeremy Tyler and cole Aldridge looked that good in summer league then us knick fans have a lot to be excited about. Make room for all the bandwagoners when we take off

As good as Mobley is defensively, Horford just owns him in the paint each time. It’s a guaranteed bucket for Boston anytime they get the ball to Al in the paint with Mobley on him.

OG Anunoby should've been on an all defensive multiple time before.

has anyone ever been defensive player of the year, without previously being on an all defensive team?

Im not sure, but remember reading the reason they didnt extend him was bc if he makes an all nba team he qualifies for a super max.

Moses Brown playing like prime DeAndre Jordan with 11 3rd quarter points off 5 dunks... wasn't exactly what I saw coming.

So, like twice? Where he made some pretty difficult shots?

Was the Toronto Spurs game left out of the poll on purpose?

Pascal was amazing last year. His first 10 games were not great due to coming back from injury…but after that he was great and got 3rd team all NBA

I think he does that on purpose to avoid injuries in drives. One of the concerns was how he landed straight legged in the G league and high school

Garland is so clearly better than Mitchell. Mitchell just isn't a good enough playmaker for nights his shot isn't falling.

Spurs missing a lot of guys tonight, but the Raps defense is stifling. I am not sure if they can play defense like this all season though. They need to save some of this energy for the playoffs, because they will be very difficult to score on if they're healthy.

Unfortunately it's led to multiple weaker calls. Like one where PG just stood there arms up and got called for one.

Embarrassing no call. Clear travel. Mobley is the man showing insane leadership on both ends for the Cavs. What a terrific player

Wall behind the back drive into a no-look pass to Brown for a dunk! His 20-minute restriction is **** dumb and has zero reasons. Wall taking 10 of Reggie's minutes a game would probably be worth an extra win.

We got a better whistle in that 3rd quarter but Boston has benefitted in this 4th.
