NBA 2020-21 reg season 1st half thread

nevermind i found the new one

kd looking pretty good!

the court looks likes its covered in grime with this color scheme

nets and warriors are both playing extremely fast, not sure i love it

Kd looks sharp kyrie looks sharp

i dont think id enjoy a league where every team played like this first quarter tbh

warriors defense is a turnstile

They are missing draymond baaadddd and starting wiseman was prob not the right move

But they just handed the nets like 8 points with some really dumb turnovers

Omg what is Wiggins doing out there he looks like a borderline high school player

his minutes have been AWFUL lol

steph is gonna have some of the most drastic on/off numbers in the league

did they make him promise to play like a pro

This Wiggins quarter may go down as one of the worst of all time my goodness

wiggins is not a good nba player, the warriors need to find a taker

They’ll have to include that minny pick obv

wiseman has no idea what to do out there but athletically he looks pretty special... looked pretty good dribbling in the open court too before careening into KD and getting called for a charge

Oubre and Wiggins combined like 2/20 smh

i don’t think they’ll give up that minny pick just to get off wiggins unless it’s also getting them an all star level player

wiseman looks absolutely huge and athletic obvs has no idea how to play yet but he does look like a baller

Hello Demar DeRozan

Xpost
(But I don’t want wiggins on the spurs- not with three years left on that contract!)

wiseman’s FT stroke looks good... curious how he plans on scoring during the normal flow of the game aside from rim running

I hate this

Chris and Marv in garbage time ugh

ive turned it off

the warriors look bad, but im trying not to overreact to one game. they def need oubre and wiggins to be real players and dray back asap.

they would def be a lock for the playoffs in the east

I'm not sure - but they ain't sniffing the playoffs in the west

i think they can make it in the west

the bottom end of the west offs has actually turned in to a big ol question mark

just watched the first half and first chunk of the 3rd before giving up and going live--

- i never really had a reason to scrutinize wiggins and mostly trusted what people tended to say about him, but watching him closely for a half and i totally get it. it isn't organizational, he's never changing. this is what he is. you don't suddenly learn how not to get backdoored by joe harris in year 6 or whatever it is.

- hugely impressed by wiseman's athleticism. such a fluid/fast runner. he'll figure it out but it's going to take some time.

- the warriors have had opportunities on offense but look really bad finishing as a team. that's not encouraging against a nets team that is not the most physical or imposing.

- the nets look pretty good. i enjoyed levert's 2nd unit minutes. withholding more judgement because to me this game is mostly the warriors not really playing competitive basketball.

Wiggins oubre and paschall all shot like zero percent and the whole team is brand new more or less. Gonna Give them like 15 games before I make any serious declarations. On the other hand the nets are flying on positive vibes and they look great. If kd is back for real then that’s so encouraging for Achilles tear sufferers going forward.

Yah cad otm. As bad as Wiggins was this is the worst I’ve ever seen him so it obv shouldn’t be this bad. Oubres energy was there but the shots weren’t falling for anyone in the first half.

there were a few plays where i was like wow kd moved extremely well on that play, he looked like himself, but we didnt get to see him for instance really lock in on D and have to jibberjab his feet all over and what not

Loving the early returns on wiseman he seems fun. The only way the warriors will really win is to rely on the curry dray pnr way more than in past years. And wig and oubre have to shoot league average at least from 3.

kd is also further removed from his injury than when most guys come back fwiw

yeah i was listening to something where there were saying maybe 18 months should be the standard layoff for achilles but it prob varies for different guys

there were a few plays where i was like wow kd moved extremely well on that play, he looked like himself, but we didnt get to see him for instance really lock in on D and have to jibberjab his feet all over and what not

xp my fear is that the warriors stick to this democratic offense stuff when they don't have the personnel for it. like i'm looking at wiggins and oubre's FGAs and they are pretty scary.

Yah Kerr has to adapt or this what it will look like.

Dubs gotta take on bucks next lol yikes

lol

wiggins shot looked good and he blocked some shots at the rim, tho his on ball defense wasn’t great. i still think he could/would be good in the harrison barnes role but they need more from him now and when they turned the offense over to him it was really ugly

i still think they’ll be in the playoff hunt all season... it’s a race for 10 spots now anyway. the problem is they need curry-oubre-wiggins-dray to get in a rhythm together pretty quickly & tonight they looked like a team that was still in preseason mode. and then you’re trying to work in wiseman, and the bench doesn’t have much... they don’t have a lot of time for it to start clicking. steph looked like one of the 10 best players in the league still tho

theres just nothing on the bench

hah i forgot that batum exists

batum is starting???????

what the fuck

looks like zubac is out? maybe when he is available ibaka will play the 4

he's in now. i don't get these lineup ideas but they're working.
