The 2019-2020 Around the NBA thread

I already mentioned that, but it was surprising how some came to his defense here.

I was being facetious. The truth is that pretty much no one can carry a poor roster to very many wins (especially in the loaded west). We just might end up seeing that this year with the Warriors, though I suspect they won't be as bad as they have looked so far.

At least until after we play them on Wednesday. Never wise to poke the bear.

And, as I'm sure Monty realizes, teams will start gearing up for us.

The curse of no longer being the laughingstock of the NBA.

That, in itself, will be an extra challenge for the Suns.

It will be a challenge for sure.

I'm thinking the Warriors will be extra hungry if they don't win at the Pelicans on Monday. Losing their home opener to the Clippers didn't help either. They are probably not as bad as their current 0-2 record.

Those Hield and Brown contracts are making what I wanted to give Oubre look better and better.

It's looking like passing on Coby White may have been a mistake.

a draft mistake... by the Phoenix Suns?!

With that being said...... Doncic is going to be the one that haunts us. He has future multi time MVP written all over him. And he could have joined our long list of MVP level PG's. Instead we took the empty-stat UofA homer with no defensive ability or killer instinct.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ja Morant is looking like the real deal. Too bad the Suns were not in position to draft him.

Wow. He must have said the same thing Oubre did. . .

Three and a half times.

Also I suspect Oubre can get away with more because of his disarming smile.

Pels look horrible. I know their big star is out but they still have a lot of young talent.

Soon to be 0-4

I think Alvin Gentry is in over his head with all these kids.

agreed... at least on Doncic. I know people don't want to admit it, but I think Luka is going to be the less athletic version of LeBron James, with not as good of D... except he's got a killer instinct.

Actually, that pretty much makes him the second coming of Magic Johnson, which is pretty much just as good. Whatever he lacks defensively he'll more than make up for it with the mis-matches, offense, steals and rebounds he gets.

Memphis LA...Lebron looks weird without a headband. That hairline...

He needs to accept the fact that he's balding and just shave it. I've heard people say he's waiting until Space Jam 2 gets released to finally do that. It's apparently been shot already and if he'd accept his baldness now then it would look weird seeing the movie next summer with him and his goofy sod look while he's bald in real life.

I hope they got it out of their system.

The same here but it's important for the Suns to be able the beat the good teams like the Clippers.

It's hard to see the Warriors not being ready to play on Wednesday when the Suns visit.

Now it looks like Trae Young could miss a couple of weeks. He is reportedly still awaiting an MRI.

Hawks’ Trae Young faces missing possible two weeks with right ankle sprain, with MRI coming Wednesday, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. Atlanta is expected to be cautious with its rising young star.

Mavericks beat the Nuggets in Denver last night. It looks like the bench played a prominent role.

You better check again. Almost certainly Doncic beat them all by himself, right?

Unless you are joking, Doncic had a mediocre game according to the stats of 12 points and 5 assists.

Really? You actually thought I could be serious??

With the Ayton versus Doncic debate, sometimes it's hard to know. I thought you were joking but I wasn't sure.

Good news for Atlanta guard Trae Young, per sources: Improvement on his right ankle today. No plans for an MRI. He could return as soon as next week.

Why in the world would you NOT do an MRI with an NBA player, just to be sure?
