    @shark said in NBA season 2019/20:

    Suns go 3-0 with a win over a Clippers squad featuring Kawai, PG, Beverley, Williams etc.

    Suns one of the big winners of the restart

    Bucks not so much

    A few wonky results the last few days. Nets over Bucks is a really odd one, even with the Bucks resting a few and giving their starters light minutes - the Nets rested blokes as well it seems.

    Suns have a bit to play for, even if they miss the 8/9 play-off. They have their squad in tact, good wins for Booker/Ayton can give them a real lift into 2020/21.

    The Suns should be using these games to sort out some squad make up niggles. Guys like Bridges, Oubre Jr, Johnson and Kaminsky have at times all looked valuable but have also struggled.

    Half-hearted effort from the Lakers today but if they're going to give that type of game to anyone I'm happy it was OKC..

    The team making a big run is the Blazers.

    They are closing in on that 8th seed and would be a dangerous match up for the 1 seed Lakers.

    Dame, CJ, Carmelo, Nurkic etc

    Adams was great today. I watched most of the game. Went down hard a couple of times but still came back onto the court with a handy lead. Be interested to see his +/-.

    Grizzles are outside chance of missing out on even the play-in as they have a hard road to the end. Pelicans have the easiest and Portland aren't too bad and are playing well. Spurs really needed to get the W today.

    @Magpie_in_aus Ja Morant is an amazing player. I think potentially he could be Jordanesque but that supporting cast...

    It’s all set up for the Pelicans and Zion now.

    Suns 4-0. The only team with that record. Edging closer but still a long shot.

    @ACT-Crusader each to their own. Athleticism, killer instinct to go at anyone and the ability to elevate the players around him is a good start.

    He was, but then the Suns held him to 16 in his grudge match. Looks like 'cash considerations' won that battle.

    Wouldn't be the NBA thread without your hot takes.👍

    Here's a similar one from a few years ago.

    @raznomore said in NBA Season 2017/18:

    Donovan Mitchell, in my opinion is the closest thing I have see to MJ in a long time. He is a amazing.

    Which is everything Stevie Franchise had as a rookie and early career NBA player.

    I love watching Ja play and also Dillon Brooks.

    I love Ja also. I'd liken his play to Derrick Rose pre-injury. Hopefully he maintains a better attitude although

    Meanwhile, does anyone else think the bubble is doing less than fuck all for Rachel Nichols? I think the natural lighting ain't flattering, and she looks like she has grown a thin moustache.

    Phoenix win again. Now 5-0 in the bubble. Helpfully, Portland go down to LAC and are only. 5 of a game ahead of the Suns in 9th. We're two games behind Memphis who simply just need to continue losing.

    Fun game between Nuggets and Jazz. Two fairly even matched teams. I don’t usually mind the Jazz, but was very glad they lost this one with the way Mitchell was flopping everywhere.
