NBA early season surprises and dissapointments

[lakerboy]

Knicks- Melo left so not that big of a deal cause he is a cancer
Pacers- scoring like crazy, how?
Nets- playing better

Dissapointments
Cavs- good. Love seeing them lose
Okc- Melo again the problem. They will be better but zero depth
Heat- thought they would be better

Spurs look average without Leonard and Parker

Clippers are garbage team. Garbage roster. Will return to reality soon.

Knicks aren't good obviously. And won't be this year.

Embiid is the best big in basketball after Boogie.

Raptors? Wizards? How do they expect to compete with Cleveland with the same roster yearly?

Boston the usual. Win a bunch of reg season games. Get exposed in playoffs.

Denver -- sloppy on defense

Portland a 1 on 1 team. No chance in playoffs.

Embiid will be a better all around player than Cousins but Cousins is the best scoring big in basketball for sure.

Who is going to expose Boston? Yes they have flaws but they are clearly the best in the east as it stands right now.

[MinnesotaFats]

MINNESOTA starting to gel. Watch out

[lakerboy]

Denver is going to be a big problem later in the year. They are two years away from causing major damage.

[The Giant]

I haven't watched much basketball outside of Lakers games this year.

They're pretty entertaining. They need a closer though.

Lonzo can't shoot, but I like him.
Ingram is getting better.
Kuzma is the next Scottie Pippen.
Brooke Lopez is a good mentor.

Next year they'll be vying for a championship when Lebron and Cousins show up.

You want cousins(cancer)? Thats all we need two guys with that irritated look whining about every call

[KRIT]

Who cares, Warriors are winning it all again.

they're good. lacking a go-to scorer though. should make the playoffs this year.

I really don't want Cousins or Lebron.

Fukk them.

The problem is you need superstars in this league. I'm not sure the Lakers have one.

Paul George would be decent, but would he really change things? Probably not.

Ingram needs to gain about 20 pounds of muscle and start dominating.

I'm looking the kuzma kid. He has game. Ingram will be very very good. He needs time. George would give them defense. I really like George. I want no part of James.

[KRIT]

Can we all agree Lonzo Ball sucks?

[t-wizzle]

Can we all agree Lonzo Ball sucks?

Not surprised whatsoever by his early struggles. I said all along he'd have trouble getting that shot off in this league. However I also said his court vision is spectacular and so far that has proven to be the case.

I'm not a big fan but ultimately he'll turn into a good player who can probably handle the spotlight.

[lakerboy]

They are building with the warriors plan. They are stacked bro. They will get better as the year progresses. Jokic is a stud.

Tremendous passing big. Yea they are pretty deep. I like the coach Malone as well.

[PAULYPOKER]

Cavs are an early season surprise and dissapointment

[lakerboy]

Who cares, Warriors are winning it all again.

I know but the league has some really good young players. NBA in good shape unlike NFL. NHL, NBA and MLB on the rise. NFL now dead.

[Goat Milk]

Wiz, yeah Embiid could be better all around player in another year or two. Boston looks good now but these games don't mean shit. Could care less what happens in reg season. You know the deal. No team in the East beating Cleveland 4 times in 1.5 weeks.

[PAULYPOKER]

Lakers have been an ATM so far......

[Seto]

Bucks should be listed as a disappointment. Everyone raving over Giannis' early play but overlooking the team is 4-6 and not at all living up to the hype that had them as a potential 50-game winner. Obviously it's still early, but hey, we're talking early disappointments.

[lakerboy]

Agreed seto but they have had a tough " paper" schedule

Bucks aren't a good team Seto. Been saying that before the year started. I guess now that they got Bledsoe who is a borderline All star player, things should change. And they're missing Jabari Parker who is a scoring machine.

1 player can't beat good teams like Cleveland. Bledsoe is a big addition imo.

I know these games mean shit but no one on Cleveland plays defense except for Crowder maybe. LeBron doesn't even give a shit on D anymore. They are loaded with washed up stiffs. Korver? Lol. JR? Lol. Derrick Rose? Lol. Frye? Lol. Kevin Love is only good when his shot is falling. Wade is pretty much done but still worthy of playing 20-25 mins. Crowder has no offensive game at all but will settle in as a spot up 3 point shooter and defender when Thomas comes back. But of course when Thomas comes back he'll be exposed on defense too.

[PAULYPOKER]

I think it's their hideous name and puke green colors.......

I mean who's afraid of a deer?

Yeah they're horrible on D. But they should turn it up soon. Bro Boston starts Jaylon Brown and Jason Tatum.... those guys suck dick. They might be good in the future, but they're nothing to worry about in a 7 game series. I don't care if they average 18 a game or whatever. They're 20 year old no names. Will melt down on the big stage against guys like Wade and James and Love.

Irving would have a field day vs the cavs.

Irving...a guy who can't pass or play d....isn't gonna beat the Cavs 4 times by himself. I don't care if he averages 45. They still won't win.

[PAULYPOKER]

King James has peaked........

Can't carry a team on his back anymore........

Jaylen Brown is going to give LeBron problems. He's got young legs and he's athletic as hell. You think LeBron wants to deal with that kid every night? Hell no. Tatum is going to be a 20 ppg scorer for most of his career. The kid has a lot of moves. He's already scoring 15 ppg a night and he's barely stepped into the league. I guess you didn't watch him in college but he's good.

Experience is big but talent and athleticism is bigger.

Bro the cavs need to make a move. This roster is not good.
Granted in the playoffs they will have more time in between games but I don't like this roster

LeBron's fault. Never forget he put together this roster of washed up bums. That's why Irving got the hell out of dodge. He didn't want to clean up James' mess after he bolts for a better situation.

Stop. Lebron won't even guard Brown. Crowder will. And Crowder is better than Brown right now. He's more valuable. Just seems he's not because he has a small role on a stacked team. Bro think about what you're saying for a minute. You think a 20 year old kid like Jaylen Brown is going to give Lebron James problems? Lol. The guy who still puts up 40 a night at will and grabs triple doubles whenever he wants.

We know James isn't even trying right now. That Boston team will melt down in the playoffs. Mark my words. Probably won't even face Cleveland.

Bro Philly will beat Boston in a 7 game series. Embiid and Simmons are both nearly as good as Kyrie. Brown and Tatum are bench players on the Cavs team.

Yeah they're not beating the Warriors with this roster. But Boston? Lol. The guys in Boston's starting lineup can't even sniff the Cavs bench. Lebron has made it to like 7 straight finals? Think he's gonna lose to Boston who's elder statesman is a 25 year old kid?



Good luck bro

You completely misinterpreted my post. I'm saying Brown will guard James. Watch the next time they play. Brown gives LeBron fits. He has to work his ass off to get his shot. He usually just resorts to trying to back him down but that's not something you can keep going to when you don't have a mid-range game.

Sixers won't beat Boston but I would love to see that happen.

[lakerboy]

Goat you are overexcited about a garbage roster. I never said anything about Boston beating them.
