The Official NBA Week 1 & 2 thread - Chauncey's here, place your bets

[Constantgin]

Not sure if NBA would be totally happy thou umpiring has been horrible so far.

Plus having league mvp flopping around constantly and him setting record for most free throws in first 2 games of season. At least half of fouls on him are just plain flops by him. Its ridiculous and embarrassing.

I think there's enough data to date for Denver to make the hard decision to hand the team over to Valanciunas.

He was +4, Joker -10.

It was a good run Joker, but data is data.

 

[fidstar]

Seriously though, Denver certain for a top 2 seed. They aren't going to suck when Joker is off the floor.

 

[Deliverance]

NBA could not be happier with what has happened so far.
Wemby had me cheering by myself, one of the most jaw dropping performances I have seen.
Edgecombe big debut.
Two games today, two 50 pieces and OT thrillers.
What a start, welcome back NBA.

Meanwhile, we get stuck with Richmond v Carlton every year

Like we get stuck with Hawks Cats every Easter Monday public holiday which has sucked for at least 8 years now.
Anzac Day the list goes on. The AFL is the most stupid and uneven fixture competition in world sport.

Aaron Gordon 10x3s on the ball clubs opening game.

He ties someone who in his clubs 2020 opening game did the same feat. Who? Terry Rozier

What a bunch of clowns. This is what I meant about gaming interests worming their way into every aspect of (USA at least) sports distribution.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Still hoping Spurs pull the trigger a bit more and look for a upgrade on Harrison Barnes.

At the time I wasn't sure about Clarkson signing but already I can tell its going to be a positive. Already we are playing more bench players early and not afraid to get them having shots. Pretty good to have Clarkson, McBride, Kolek and Shamet as those 4 that will probably rotate and all aren't scared to take the shots.

Couldn't find the over/under for Terry today. Disappointing

They could have one for his suspension

Over 2.5 years - 1.40
Under 2.5 years - 1.90

Need to make the odds bad just in case

Im not sure about the Yabusele signing. Dont see how he fits

Club kind of needs to plan for Robinson not to play more then they have

Bam 18 points with 5 mins left in 1st lol

Jock Landale starting at C is fairly wild

I mean losing FVV hurts but Ime really needs to get someone in to run an offense. It's horrendous, honestly looks like they have no sets at all to run. He'll be too stubborn to do it.

You have a talented passing big in Sengun and when he has the ball it's stand and watch. No cutting or off ball screens at all.

Bam is playing 4 today. Ware 5 and Jovic off the bench. Seems a better mix as Jovic needs the ball

 

[Nicho50]

Poole looks like he will do well at the Pels.

Dont really have that style of players though?

 

[Nicho50]

Pritchard isn't a starter. He has been god damn awful for the Celtics.

 

[Gak Attack]

Clogged for cuts but still room to get sneaky backdoors and certainly move and screen for shooters. Bari, KD, Reed and Okogie can hit a reliable three.

 

[Gak Attack]

Duran you dirty campaigner. Might get games for that.

High odds of a brawl in this one.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Giving up 86 pts in a half is certainly something for Memphis

Used to seeing this as a final score for Miami. Still could

Anthony Davis legit must have lost 30kg. Guy looks like the dark version of Kristaps Porzingis out there
