There are a lot of things happening in the league right now. So the Celtics getting off to a 5-1 start has kind of gone a bit under the radar.
Eric Paschall of the Golden State Warriors scored 34 points in… an upset over the Blazers. (Yes, I know the Warriors have had the Blazers’ number for years.)
John Collins of the Atlanta Hawks gets a 25-game suspension for violating the NBA anti-drug policy. Yikes.
Power rankings are stupid. That’s why we have them here. But why go with the usual best to worst team when we can just look at all the NBA hijinks?
LeBron has held the crown as the best for so long. Right now, a lot of people are about Kawhi Leonard. Some are for Giannis and Harden. But Luka Doncic is likely the next in line for that spot.
The Golden State Warriors had 17 players in their Finals roster last year. On Saturday night, only ONE of them was active. Insanity.
LeBron James is 35 years old next month. He is in his 17th NBA season. Yet he can still do numbers like he is still in his prime. Maybe he still IS in his prime.
Stephen Curry will be out for a while. And those Warriors are going to look REALLY different for possibly the rest of the season.
Oldheads like to say, “BACK IN MY DAY, NBA PLAYERS PLAYED ALL 82 GAMES!!!” But honestly, that’s probably not the wisest way to go.
The two large guys in the center of the melee don’t get to play the next two games. Ben Simmons is labeled as a “peacemaker” and gets nothing.
While the Houston and Washington pro baseball teams put on a World Series to remember, the Houston and Washington pro basketball teams put on an NBA game to remember.
Trae Young hurt his ankle Tuesday night against the Heat. But he’s expected to be back sooner than later.
Anthony Davis went to the foul line. Then he went back. Then he went back again. And again. And again. And again.
Why do people make fun of Kyrie Irving for how he is feeling while we praise other pro athletes for revealing what they go through?
There are four teams left who are undefeated after a week in the NBA. Are they really that good? Or maybe one of them is a mirage?
Power rankings are stupid. That’s why we have them here. But why go with the usual best to worst team when we can just look at all the NBA hijinks?
