Yeah but what is bogus imo is we haven't moved since last week... Not sure how we supposedly are in the same spot when clearly we are rising in the power rankings of this league...
Haha never said I agree. Actually I would put Dallas at 5 right now.

Not just that; they have both Rockets and Nuggets ahead of us. I don't see how. One is 3-3 and has gotten killed when they lose; the other we beat in their home and they lost to the Pelicans

The attitude of this team is refreshing.
Only THJ gives me a roller coaster ride of like and rage but he is trying as hard as his skill level permits.

Bleacherreport has us 12 and drop a rank somehow.

CP3 to Westbrook was a huge downgrade defensively. Houston is one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA right now.

rockets are unwatchable to me. Just Harden chucking threes and the other four watching him. We should free Gordon from them :-)
Gordon is having a terrible start to the season. His shooting% is at career lows, especially from 3. Rockets are starting Daniel House, over him, he's been so bad.
RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - Hypermav - 11-04-2019
Pulling for the Bucks and Sixers to give losses to the Suns and T-pups.
RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - jesusshuttlesworth82 - 11-04-2019
Brandon Ingram breaking out. Averaging 29ppg with high efficiency.
RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - HoosierDaddyKid - 11-04-2019
Harden hits Crowder in the nuts, Crowder goes after him in a scrum, and gets ejected. Harden the perp, doesn't. Freakin Harden gets away with murder.
RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - iolide - 11-04-2019
So, um; are the Suns for reals this year?
RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - HoosierDaddyKid - 11-04-2019
^^ They finally have a coach. Monte Williams is the reason for the great start.

Also Devin Booker is playing like he's inhuman. 24ppg on nearly 50% FG, 47% from 3, and 87% from the line. Booker was always a scorer, but he's never been efficient. Seems like that's starting to change and that's terrifying for the league.
Aaron Baynes is also exactly what they needed. His defense and rebounding has been a big change for Phoenix. Rubio has been super solid.
If Booker regresses, and Rubio starts to miss his shots, I can see PHX faltering after their hot start, similarly to Orlando back in 2016. But I honestly like seeing Booker succeed. He's one of my favorite young up and comers in the league.

Houston had a slow start last year. I just think Harden comes into camp out of shape and plays his way back into it.
I obviously hope Houston torpedoes down the standings, but I just think they're due to correct back to their regular selves. But I think their defense has gotten noticeably worse and that's going to limit them in making any sort of run in the playoffs.

Also beating the Sixers without Embiid isn't really a crazy thing for me. Sixers might be 5-0, but they aren't even close to the same team without Embiid. If Blazers had a Big, they could have easily won that game vs. Sixers. It was such a fluke win for the Sixers. Sixers had like 80 pts in the paint because Tolliver was basically the Blazers only "Big" available, and Sixers shoot like 29 times more than the Blazers ...
Simmons is such a disappointment after those offseason videos of him shooting the ball and if the Sixers cant get past the Bucks, he is gonna be the main problem. A PG in the dunker spot under the basket because he wants no part of the ball. That is a big yikes from me. No1 is talking about it, because the Sixers started great. But his offense showing no signs of any improvement so far.
RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - Kammrath - 11-05-2019
Having a real PG makes all the difference in the world.
RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - jesusshuttlesworth82 - 11-05-2019
As much as I like Boban, I wish we had signed Aron Baynes.
Ja Morant looks like the real deal.

Blazers losing to the Warriors and that rookie Paschall having a coming out party.
RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 - HoosierDaddyKid - 11-05-2019
The G League Warriors, beat the Blazers, 127-118 for their 1st win at Chase Center. Rookie Eric Paschall had a career high 36 pts and 13 rebs. Just shows you, you can lose to anybody on any given night. This loss, could haunt the Blazers down the road.

Morant is the favorite for ROY, with maybe RJ Barrett.

Man, Paschall was the one I wanted the Mavs to pick in the second round. Do you think he'd be as productive if he were in the Mavs system?
