Good luck with that, that is one of the worst games I've ever seen the Lakers play.

Pistons look very good. In fact, as I recall they were expected to be a playoff team last year but grossly under-performed for a variety of reasons. It's no surprise to see them playing well. That said, it's early bro. 78-79 games to play.
It's early but I can see them being in contention for 6-8 seed. Especially if Jennings looks good when he is back later this year.

That's exactly what is expected of them, yes. DET and Milwaukee will be right there. 7 and 8 i think. with Washington being 6.
They aren't going to a contender for the finals or anything like that but they are a young team on the rise. Similar to the likes of the Jazz, Bucks, Wizards, and Pelicans (when the Pelicans are actually healthy that is).
Cleveland is far and away the best team in the east unless LeBron gets injured they will win the Eastern playoffs. In the west the Warriors, Thunder, & Spurs are the best bets to win the West.
Madridista you should watch the Thunder vs Magic game from last night as well. That is the most entertaining game of the season so far by far. That is a good representation of what makes the NBA so fun.
Watch the Thunder vs Magic. One of the best examples of what makes the nba so fun.
Such a fantastic game.

It's funny... Someone on this thread called it super early that the Pistons were a going to make the playoffs and the bucks were going to suck. So far that poster is dead on.
As someone who has watched a lot of Greg Monroe I knew people getting all hyped about Monroe going to the Bucks was going to be over blown. He is over-rated.
Bucks have a lot of room for growth but they aren't going to be as good as many hoped. They have a very solid future but Monroe being their key to quick success just was not going to happen.

do Rocket fans really believe that there will ever be a chance that Houston ever wins it all with Harden as their best player ?
I'm gonna watch that game first thing when I get home, thanks for the suggestion guys!

Lakers got scorched by Rondo and Rubio in the first two games. Lol
It is going to be a long season Lakers-GAF.

Roy Hibbert was supposed to help that to. I don't know what happened to that guy. He had like one amazing season as a D anchor and then fell off a cliff. He's killed his FA chances.

SVG is a smart guy. Letting Monroe go may have been addition by subtraction.
Jackson taking better FG attempts this year too (even though turnovers remain).
I agree with you! Everyone was really high on the Celtics as a dark horse team, which may have allowed the Pistons to sneak past unnoticed.

Let us get this clarified, Stan the Coach has always been brilliant. However, Stan the GM has been bad.
I don't know why people are high on the Celtics this year. East got better with the Pacers getting PG13 back plus the Pistons if they stay healthy they should make the playoffs like they should have last year. Miami Heat is making it this year, so that is one less seed for the Celtics. Celtics just need to tank. Washington backcourt is legit, Beal has been great, and John Wall is John Wall he is playing more and more like a PG should.
So Celtics in 8, meaning the 8th pick in the Draft.

I could've went to that game too... ugh I fucked up lol I bet it was so hype in the arena.

I have never seen anything like this. Those 3 pointers in the last seconds was unbelievable. We were jumping and shouting here in the living room at those moments!
Woooooooaaahhhh what a match.
Now I'm gonna watch LA Lakers - Sacrimento Kings.

NBA Gaf I am enjoying seeing the up and coming teams play this season. The Sacramento Kings are deep as hell with a solid big 3 and tons of great role players, The Detroit Pistons are looking very solid as a team as well and also the Minnesota Timberwolves. I live in the Sacramento area so I am getting Kings games locally and look forward to seeing how well they can compete this season.

Each person gets 6 personal fouls. You're ejected from the game after you commit 6 fouls. So if you pick up say 2 fouls in the first quarter, generally you'll have to sit otherwise teams will attack you in an effort to get you to commit more fouls or get easy shots because you can't aggressively play defense.

Steph has 14 3's thus far for the season. Dude is on pace for almost 400 3's...The record is 286 from last year.

Steph is making the Pelicans look like the Washington Generals.
43 points

Seriously anyone who doesn't find a way to watch warriors (curry) play at least here and there are doing themselves a disservice.
There's no way to describe what Curry does. He's on his way to be the best offensive player ever in the NBA. You can't contain that dude.
Johnny Flynn was taken over this dude in the draft ! Lol

That's what's mindblowing to me...dude is better than he was last year. There's a level past Super Steph...He's gone ascendant Steph.

Not too far off until he breaks the record for three pointers made in a game by the one and only Donyel Marshall off the type of my head. Hmm....kind of hope he doesn't!
<_<
EDIT: So....will Curry be a greater player than Kobe? Be honest now. If it happens, it happens. I already think both Lebron and Duncan are greater players than Kobe.

It will take a while for that. More years similar to the last two then maybe. Kobe's an all-time top 10 guy.

I just noticed that the Warriors have a huge history of scorers, among the best. I mean, Wilt played for them the season he averaged 50 fucking points the season (still blows my mind, I don't care how bad the competition was back them).

Oh yeah, I know that one as well. Really, Wilt is a fucking mythological figure. He also happens to be my favorite player of all time.
Yeah, they have had some great offensive players. Run TMC, Rick Barry, Wilt, etc.

We've also whiffed on some big time talent...Joe Smith over Rasheed Wallace or KG....Antawn Jamison over Vince Carter..
