NBA 2020-21 reg season 1st half thread

Oh that wasn’t facts lol. But yah

i got to attend a steph & dame duel back when they were still kids (spring 2014 maybe?) and it's one of my better live basketball memories

yeah... that one game where he went off on them in the fourth quarter after coming back from injury and the camera cut to paul allen completely slackjawed in the crowd is one of my top 3 ever steph games

weird that you could just go to basketball games 6 years ago

lol these two taking turns hoisting now

Curry 50 w 6 mins left

so good... dray looking spry in these clips

2015-16 dray was a complete animal.

dubs really need just organize themselves around steph taking ten 30 footers a game this year

He might get his career high

oubre and dame should not fight! i like those guys!

focus on your true enemy: paul george

ahh steph broke 60!

Goat

he is very stoked, cute

He read the tweets lol

62 in 36 minutes.

so happy he's back. if they can get anything out of wiseman on defense this year that's a pretty good backbone

Payton Pritchard seems pretty solid, better than the other 87 other point guards they’ve drafted in the past 2 years

he seems like a good back up PG but i'm not sure i see anything more than that

something i didn't know:

he seems like a good back up PG but i'm not sure i see anything more than that

yeah pritchard was a nice find

kinda crazy he just started playing good his first day in the nba, and its good for the celtics that he did cause they dont have a lot of guys!

he's got 11 points and 3 assists in 11 minutes tonight so far. scores easily at multiple levels, plays in control. he's a little small but there aren't a lot of holes in his game.

Maxey is playing pretty well for a rookie out of the box.

mike muscala is really bad don’t get how he’s in an NBA rotation

it's good the thunder have 2 million picks bcuz they are very devoid of talent outside of SGA and bazley who looks like he could be a pretty good wing player

the type of shots jayson tatum is hitting tonight are ridiculous

on the one hand i feel like the raptors should prob be able to level out, they're too stable a roster/organization to really bottom out. on the other if you start thinking about their roster it's like... 35 year old kyle lowry who prob isn't an all star anymore, siakam playing well below all star level for a while now, OG who is a very good defender but doesn't do much on offense, van vleet who is a good player but not an all star, norm powell who is a nice 7th man... there's not a *ton* there

the celtics dominated them physically tonight and the celtics do not physically dominate very often. g. williams, r. williams, t. thompson were just beasting inside.

siakam has hit a bit of a development wall and norm powell is out of shape in the accounts i've heard so that's a couple strikes against a thin team.

xp they REALLY miss gasol's playmaking and D, and ibaka, too. their roster took a step back replacing them with baynes and boucher in the rotation.

yeah thats a pretty big downgrade

i know the raptors have the right to extend the game as long as possible for like a 2% win probability, but it is extremely annoying to watch

Really liking late career serge

Hey so Doncic is still really good

He should only go up from here once he plays himself into shape a bit more

Anyone watched any pels yet? Their record is good but they looked so bad in the bubble I kinda cooled on wanting to watch them. Fools gold?

i haven't seen much but sounds like a strong starting unit/suspect bench type of team

like their defense absolutely tanks any time steven adams is off the floor

zion continues to put up big numbers while mostly looking like hes just loafing around

brandon ingram is one of the best scorers in the league

they have a lot of talent, it doesn't fit incredibly well but they're going to be competitive most nights and will def be in one of the play in games at least

nurse mad

Nick Nurse, asked about Malachi Flynn: "He was OK. I think my bigger thing is that, if you wanna be honest about it, he didn't really do much out there. And if you wanna be honest about it, Norm hasn't played very well this year, TD hasn't played well, Matt hasn't played well."
