2021-2022 NBA Season

[WiggyRuss]

1. Ja and JJJ

2. Towns and Edwards

3. Young and Collins... Hunter?

4. Mobley and Garland

5. Ball and Bridges

6.SG-A and Giddey

None of the others have really separated themselves and Ingram is alone because Zion is Dnp-HUSKY.

I do expect Halliburton and Duarte to be higher next year.

No Fox and Sabonis, Van fleet and Barnes?

I actually was going to go with Van Fleet and Barnes but then saw Van Fleet was already 28 years old. lol.

right NOW- maybe id take Young and Collins- not really- but I can see the argument I guess

long term- no way---- Mobley is going to pass up Garland and be unstoppable before long.

Towns and Edwards- right now those guys---- but like I said- Mobley is going to go nutso sometime in the next 2-3 years.

Dumb dumb play by Mitchell assuming the correct call is made

 

[WiggyRuss]

with Mobley getting volume shots now with Allen out- I highly highly doubt it.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Mobley was great tonight

big men barely ever perform like this so early. Guards seem to adjust to the NBA so much faster.

Mobley is playing close to All NBA defense - wouldnt shock anyone if he is 2nd team- and continuing to get better offensively. He is a beast and has really not even scratched the surface yet.

He was 13/22 for 30 points tonight and it didnt even seem like it was that hard- he didnt force it- it was just smooth.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Scoring 12 points in the first quarter at home?

Totally quit and have tuned out the coach and each other.

Again: Not blaming Vogel.

But, you can't change the roster.

So, change the voice.

they have all pretty much quit.

LeBron's defensive effort is pitiful right now.

9 games under .500. Best they could possibly hope for is the 9th seed. The Pelicans may pass them- which is just bonkers.

I think it would be insane for the Blazers- who gutted their team and dont have Lillard playing to pass them- especially down 3 games- so they are going to make the play in--- but shit.

the fact that they are playing with absolutely no heart and no effort is just inexcusable.

Was Draymond unavailable in December when he struggled?

I think you meant in January?
But that's also when the Dubs proved how important it is to have bench depth.

But that's also when the Dubs bench depth helped a bunch.

Nah i meant December. January was when his injuries started. Believe he only played the first week or so

Just watch and see my man, playoffs a comin'

Y'all still on here talking about Vogel if is or isn't the issue, whether or not to fire him? Wut? How many times I gotta you guys is definitely a problem and should have been axed like 10 games into the season. Yes, the roster is a mess from a construction standpoint. But a decent coach could have patched worked an F roster to a passable C. Three games into the season, you could look at this team and see Vogel had already failed. Despite having an offseason and training camp (unlike the covid seasons), the team had no distinguishable offensive system right from the get go. Defensively, his plans were nonsensical with unnecessary double teams and a lot of help/recovery for a team with players that would struggle with that. They didn't do any of the little things either. That was all there literally the first week into the season. To be that unprepared is definitely on the coach. He's not being scapegoated. He earned any shit shoveled his way. He's not the sole reason for the season, but he definitely played a big part.

They've let the issue fester so long now that it might actually provide a tiny bit of energy if they did fire him now. That's how toxic it is. Should have fired him back in November. But they didn't. Talked about doing it January but there wasn't really a point at the time. Now there is. He's gone out at the end of the season anyway (everyone in the front office and coaching staff should be gone then too). Just show him the door now (and do the rest later)

Dubs were 9-4 in Dec.
Curry led the team in scoring in each of those wins. Not sure I'd call that "struggling".
Draymond led the team in rebounds in 6 of those wins....and led them in assists in all 9.

You're missing my point. Of course curry would lead them in scoring. Who did you think would? Andrew Wiggins

Tell me what curry shot from the field and from 3 in december

My point is just because Draymond is back doesn't mean his poor shooting will just disappear. He is shooting career lows across the board. Wizards are a poor defensive team so can't take much out of this game when it comes to what it means for his shooting the remainder of the season

Splitting hairs just to prove some point that's now a few months old, and is neither here nor there isn't my thing...plus, it's pretty much moot currently anyhow. It's time to look ahead now.
That said.....they're gonna play Boston on Wednesday.
We'll see what happens against a "better defensive" team.

Steph Dray and Klay on the court together for the first time in 1005 days...2019 game 6 of the finals

I havebeen saying for months now Toronto is better

Cavs and Raptors play 1 more game- Cleveland holds the tie breaker as they are 3-0 against Toronto. With Cleveland's injuries and Toronto at full strength its going to be hard to hold them off.

Van Fleet has prob outplayed Garland this year. Siakam is great and in his prime. Barnes and Mobley are relatively even. Toronto is better right now with Van Fleet, Siakam in their primes.

If Garland and Mobley were closers totheir primes it wouldnt even be a contest vs. those 2 though

Cavs are going to take their lumps- the LeVert deal has done nothing for them since hes been hurt. Sexton of course out all year practically. Allen out the rest of the year probably. Thats a lot of talent not to have against a team that is ready to win and at full strength.

Markkanen did a good job gutting out some really important minutes- he has been beat up. Rondo of course hurt but its not like he is a key player- but without SExton he of course is more important then he should be since their only other PG right now is a street free agent that - I do have to say- in Goodwin- has outplayed expectations.

If Toronto beats Cleveand in the upcoming game- they will prob. pass them. If the Cavs win, go 4-0 against them and hold the tie breaker- the Cavs might be able to hold them off.

I think the Cavs can hopefully manage about .500 - go 7-7 in their last 14. That would get them to 46 wins which would usually be plenty good for a 6 seed in the East.

It's like a view back to the time before Covid...
