NBA Week 2- Where Aussies feature in 4 of 6 Monday marquee games

[peternorth]

kawhi has been ridiculously hot so far.

Surely that’ll die off.

Pretty amusing that lebrons minutes restriction only lasted one game they’re that bad he needs to be on the court.

If lebron doesnt play minutes they dont have enough players to play out the game. Prince, Hachimura, Vanderbilt.

Ham is a bad coach and Pelinka has constructed another bad team of cast off's that simply don't click together

LeBron was sold a lemon with this squad this season. And with AD playing one good game out of 3/4, and at his age, LeBron can't do it anymore. Take LBJ and AD out, Lakers roster is as mediocre as the Wizards

 

[peternorth]

OMG a foul called!

Lakers bench is their Achilles heel.

4 games in. 4 games.

This squad is better than that of 12 months ago.

I don’t rate Ham but these cast offs took them to the WCF last year for the most part and they are 2-2 to start this season… you are going so early

Schroeder was a big part of their playoff run last season and they let him go.

But it is early days, but I think we have seen a few other West teams improve considerably in the off season.

Lakers bench is their Achilles heel.

Lack of quality perimeter shooters too hurts the Lakers in a league currently where 3 ball is dominant.

 

[DT_35]

Josh Green seals it from the baseline!

4-0 Mavs

And yet to play a decent team

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Kings v Dubs is one of my favourite match ups that's happened in the last two years. Both teams usually put on an high octane, intense show. Wouldn't mind at all another play off series between these two California teams, get bit of a rivalry happening

 

[Sonny Hayes]

NBA players refusing to shoot half court heaves at end of quarters is the lamest shit.

Oklahoma are belting the Pelicans

Zion has to be close to the biggest draft flop

Interesting.

Pelicans are utterly rubbish

Life comes at you fast.

Wtf is going on with the grizzlies? Not even half time and their about to be 0-5 to start.

Games without Ja they went at a ridiculous win rate and now they’re struggling big time. I don’t expect this to last but going 0-5 after coming off a decent last season is a worry.

Lost their starting centre and back-up centre, both for the season.

They're bringing in Biymobo, but for the moment they're small, light on depth and relying on Bane to power the offence.

Doesn't take much to alter the balance in the NBA.

OMFG KLAY

Ayton.

But it’s a valid point re: the media hysteria/click-bait that comes with any number one pick (same with AFL) where hyperbole sells and the masses buy it without question.

Bron is cooking!

Not even close, he is elite when fit.

Zion has been plagued by injuries and weight issues throughout his young career,

Andrew Bogan is the shittest number 1 pick (who wasn't affected by chronic injury issues) in recent memory.

Funny how it's easy to forget the likes of Nervous Pervis Ellison, who was an absolute lemon of a number 1 pick.

Zion is fine. And the Pels are rolling. He may never live up to his pre draft hype, but still going to be a multiple all star and ALL NBA player (if healthy)

Can’t be something when you’re never something else. Part of the package.

Elite injury prone players > complete busts

He is not close to the biggest draft busts of all time.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Dubs still the 2nd best team in the West for my money.

 

[Sonny Hayes]

westbrook

Pls, Anthony Bennett existed.

Well in recent years he’s better than Ayton.
What would his AFL pick 1 equivalent be at this point? Cam Rayner?

 

[DT_35]

ClipLOLs.

They ain’t gonna win a damn thing against any team with a decent big

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Oh geez, forgot about him rofl
