Around the League: Week 6 1/25-1/31

[Split T]

Nuggets went 15/17 from 3 in the first half

Joker sheesh

[Indy]

MVP?

[Shabazz]

Jokic is unreal.

Denver is climbing the standings...if they can snag a top 2-3 seed he’s gonna be right there. Feels like it’s Lebron’s to lose though. Lebron checks a couple of boxes:

Best player on best team.

Lifetime achievement award(I’m not sure there is any one year he should have gotten it when he didn’t, but he’s been the nba alpha dog and hasn’t won since 2013)

If he’s anywhere in the vicinity stat wise and LA is the clear front runner, Lebron is winning it. Narrative seems pretty set right now.

The Nets......

[O_Gardino]

Houston has been looking good lately too. If they can stay healthy, they will be a playoff team.

Wow
Joker just went 13/17 from the field and has 33pts at half time lol (79-54 score). Nuggets looking to emphatically end Jazz 11 game winning streak

Clearly after battling DA, he is finding Gobert to be light work

After last year's playoffs, the Nugs aren't scared of the Jazz.

[bajanguy008]

I still can't believe they scored 146 in regulation last nite.....

and Lost.......

to Washington......
Geeez

Fair point

I saw a short clip of the end of that game. Did Brooklyn really lose after being up 5 with under 20 seconds left?

[ShelC]

It was a weird ending with Nash and the crew taking criticism for not taking a TO up 2 to advance the ball.

Strange that a team with Kyrie, KD and Harden, coached by Nash, Amar'e and MikeD aren't playing much defense and can't see to get stops when needed...

Lol!

The all offense and no defense strategy.

Ok this is my last post on this smh lol
I will get over it now but it's just all over my timeline and this makes it even more ridiculous

You'll never believe this, but they basically ran an 8-man rotation with only 8 guys getting more than 7 minutes. DeAndre Jordan, their starting center, got only 19 minutes.

They obviously have one of the best Big 3s in the NBA, but I don't really believe in them as a title team. I don't think their defense will be good enough, and I think the superstars will clash down the road in terms of who gets the ball and who gets to take the big shots when games are on the line.

Westbrook had a 41/10/8 in this game (!), in 35 minutes of play. He's had a rough season so far, but he can still fill a stat sheet when he's healthy. Beal chipped in 37 and 6.
