Welp, there’s the death sentence for the Blazers, getting props from Charles Barkley.

And I’ve called the Blazers “Wizards West” for maybe 3 years now. The current 6-2 and 1-6 records will even themselves out come towards the end of the season
 
I was reading just now about how referrees this year are instructed to call physical defense away from the ball more strictly. This means teams that are really good at moving without the ball, like GS, are just going to have that much more of an advantage.

100% rule change to make GSW even tougher. NBA loves having an Evil Empire for casuals to slurp over and serious fans to detest.

Makes for an ugly game with all these whistles for incidental/inconsequential contact.

The scoring has been beyond ridiculous thus far. They’re gonna need to move the 3pt line back or raise the hoop lol because 3/4 of the teams play All-Star-Game-level defense.
 
John Collins need to hurry up and come back for the hawks...these lineups are garbage...Vince need to be on the bench and bembry in his spot..

See: Rockets. It directly impacted them with all their switching. Can’t speak on the last two games, but they’ve been called for an irrational amount of fouls simply by rotating.
 
Damn every team is averaging 120+ ppg

And I personally don’t like it. I rather have a happy medium where you have teams scoring high, but with some form of defense being played. But hey, the paying customer doesn’t seem to mind so eh...

I was watching the ‘98 Finals, and both the Jazz and Bulls scored less than 100, yet you didn’t notice due to the tempo and intensity of the game.

Joel Embiid is averaging 29-12-4 with 3 blocks in 34 MPG on 50% shooting and 82% from the line.
 
I feel like he's single-handedly carrying this team.

Simmons is becoming way too predictable and Fultz is Fultz.

You’re 100% correct, it’s just him and Redick. Until we get a major piece this team is basically the Blake Griffin Clippers. Peak is WCF until we get another major piece who can score at a high level.

If we can move Dario, Covington and a couple firsts for Jimmy we should have done that yesterday.
 
Team didn’t go far with Simmons AND shooters lol
Well, fultz can also get to the rim, which J.J., belly and sova etc could not do. Simmons needs a shooter who can create

Fultz running the point would be a shorter and worse Simmons right now

The offense is at its best when Fultz is running the point :evil:
