@canefan said in NBA Season - now 21/22:
I would probably shudder to be reminded of the players LA passed on that year in the draft.... A quick scan tells me Tatum, Donovan Mitchell, Adebayo were all in his class. In general it was not an exceptional class
There’s probably been only 3 or 4 exceptional classes in the last 35 years.
2017 hasn’t been too bad. My top 5 players from that have been picks 3 (Tatum), 5 (Fox), 13 (Mitchell), 14 (Adebayo) and 19 (John Collins).
Next best Ball (2), Kuzma (27), Jarrett Allen (22), Malik Monk (11)

It fucking kicked off in Detroit!!
LeBron with a filthy elbow splits Isaiah Stewart's head right the fuck open. Carnage ensues. Stewart wants every part of LBJ
LBJ got himself ejected for it. And it looks like the Lakers will still win because the pistons suck
-
And the Warriors go 22-45 from downtown with Curry contributing just 1 make.
And Klay isn't even back yet

Their balance is quite something

@mariner4life what Lebron did was reactive and easily dealt with on a flagrant 2 and automatic ejection. I will say Stewart was bringing the niggle throughout the game. In the very possession before that FT incident, he absolutely hacked DeAndre Jordan and there was no call. There was some niggle with Melo earlier too.
He’s had some run ins ol’ Stewart. Lebron might get something extra given the impact of the backhand.
Russ and AD actually played well in the 4th and Melo who has been a gun this season continued to hit big shots.

Did he though? Looked like the whole "wait 'till my mates are between us then pretend they need to hold me back"

I’m on Patty Mills watch and he had another very good game. Top scored for the Nets today in the win against the Celtics (in Boston). He hit 7 3s and some of those in 3s he hit where he pulls the trigger so quick, were sweet.
He continues to play really well with KD and with Joe Harris out, I like Mills starting.

Anyway, the Suns have won 13 in a row.
That was a good game today. Rubio missing two clutch FTs near the end didn’t help the Cavs. I quite like how the Cavs are playing this season.
During this stretch of wins, have been impressed with how Monty Williams has been using McGee. He’s been very good. Probably Booker’s best game this season.

@act-crusader Yeah the rotation in general has been really good thanks to decent bench depth. So many of our box scores feature 5 or more guys scoring 15+ points, kind of thing.

Suns have a good lead 48 - 29 at the moment. Durant back in and trying to influence things. Great slam just then PHX

Nets with a sloppy start and then expended a lot of energy getting back into it, then faded. Suns on an excellent run.

@act-crusader Good summation. Nets had KD, Harden, Aldridge and Millsap so some quality cattle and the Suns had come off a game the night before against NY. Great win. You could see there was some feeling.
Now the Suns play Golden State in a big match-up of the two best records in the league. The Nets are the best in the East but 3.5 games behind these two.

so we're effectively a quarter of teh way through the season. And yet it's still too early to read anything in to anything because, well, there's still 60 games to go
Warriors, and most especially Curry are balling. And they are doing it while waiting for Klay to come back. If he is80% of what he was they are serious.
The Suns have won 16-straight. Last years finalists are looking very good to have another go at it.
Those two teams look a mile in front of every other Western side. And the rest is looking average. For the first time in a fair while, you don't have to have a winning record to be in the 8.
It's starting to look a little like the Lakers aren't just cruising until the playoffs. They've had an easy start, and their record stinks.In the East the Nets are top, but hardly looking great. KD still killing it, but Harden is playing average, Kyrie is a lunatic on holiday, and the rest of the vets they signed are having to do too much
Bucks are climbing the ladder after a poor start.
The Heat, Wizards and Bulls are all far better than expected. Hornets continuing last year's trajectory.
You have to get to 12th before you find a losing record in the EastBut, for all that tying, it probably doesn't mean shit, and the Nets will play the Lakers in the finals

@mariner4life looking forward to Klay and Wiseman coming back for the Warriors. Wiseman for a big has good feet and movement which is important defensively on the switches.
Both of them have now been sent to the G league to get some playing minutes into them.

@mariner4life Yep, Nets vs Lakers for sure. Just like last year.
