I find it interesting that last year's ROY so far isn't on a trajectory to show improvement this season. Something to keep an eye on.

And the Bucks with a dominant win over the Warriors plus Curry went off with a groin injury, I'm reading. Go, East, go.

Feels like until something changes that any number of teams could be in the conference finals.

just last week I backed your Pelicans while chatting with other guys on the court to make the WCF, so you better secure that 2nd seed.

We'll need to start playing better then, i think we are capable but only really 3 players have continued from last season and arguably got better so far.

We'll see where we are come Christmas.

What's up EG

Just a casual destruction of Golden State hmm

Buddy Hield and Zach Collins would've looked great on this Pelicans team.

Neither solve our two main issues tbh hmm

I don't know about that. Collins is a great defender and think he'd fit perfectly next to either Randle or AD as he can defend the rim and space the floor.

Mirotic has been better then both this season lol.

In any case our two biggest flaws are lack of any real wing and a guard which can create and get to the rim.

Payton's injury really opened my eyes to the latter, without him we really have a lack of penetration on the perimeter.

You're a top 5 worst defense. That's probably a bigger problem than any of the offense I'd say.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Nov 09, 2018 2:05 pm

That's more a question of effort and communication than personnel.

Well some of them suck true lol, but i saw this team defend at a high level last year after Boogie went down and i don't see why we can't do it again.

Last year was the year it was supposed to happen... Sad

Houston offense looks way uglier now that they can't make ISO's anymore.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Nov 09, 2018 4:19 pm

Chris Paul is who I'm worried about tbh, so far he looks like he's got significantly worse over night.

I suppose it shouldn't be that surprising because being a small guard in year 14 is tough but i thought he'd look better.

Maybe I'm overreacting but it's hard to bet against father time tbh.

He's shot like 30% since Rondo punched him

Incredible really

Don't think you are overreacting at all. Sure he's going to have some amazing games once in a while but he looks finished as an elite player.

by Art Morte Fri Nov 09, 2018 4:35 pm

Rondo punched the talent out of him. And the Rockets just signed him to a four-year max xD

It's difficult not to think that it's a motivational issue with the Rockets, having gone close last season. Paul got paid and is 33, Harden won the MVP. Maybe they'll improve towards the spring, maybe they won't.

by Freeza Fri Nov 09, 2018 4:46 pm

That Chris Paul contract was the worst contract ever. And even the dumbest of the dumb could see that.

Guess they had a verbal agreement before the trade and Morey honored it.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Nov 09, 2018 4:49 pm

John Wall's is worse lol, way worse.

Well... John Wall will be younger at the end of his contract than CP3 is now

46m is 46m though lol.

Carmelo scored a big total of 2 fucking points yesterday

Only one of his 11 shit shots entered the basket would you believe, now i am starting to lose patience with him.

by El Gunner Fri Nov 09, 2018 9:47 pm

Houston should just space the floor for Harden so that he can rack up fantasy scores for me :coffee:

Pretty sure you guys shot better from 3 than us Laughing

Anyway I think it's just a bad matchup without Draymond. Bucks have, even at their most average the last couple seasons, always given GS trouble. I feel like we're kind of a bogey team for GS.

Giannis could do whatever he liked with Jones, Looney etc. and Bledsoe abused Steph with his speed.

Overall though GS were just sloppy. Happens to everyone.

Curse of Carmelo tbh @mole

Butler going to Philly.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Nov 10, 2018 5:51 pm

Deal is for Saric and Covington.

Covington is meh so that doesn't matter but Saric is good IMO.

by urbaNRoots Sat Nov 10, 2018 6:02 pm

My last hope... crushed.
