NBA 2018/19

So many 50 pt games this year, so entertaining

Warriors lost again. Clear as day steph is desperately needed

I don’t wanna hear anyone ever say that KD is better than bron. How are you 2-4 as soon as the pressure falls on you , your shooting percentage falls to 42% and you haven’t even won a road game in this run. Joke

Top Rookie Performances

Takeaways

Grizzlies continue to impress.

Jaren Jackson has been one of the more slept on rookie performers this season.

LEBRON WENT OFF

Magic are now officially RED HOT

Vucevic is playing out of his mind recently.

Wizards are just flat out embarrasing themselves.

Big night for Dame.

Warriors just can’t win on the road without Steph

KD hasnt been shooting well.

Spurs got a much needed win.

Interesting Stats and Facts

Grizzlies have the second tied best record in the West at 10-5!

LeBron’s 51 pt game was his 12th 50 pt game of his career

LeBron became the 5th player ever to drop 50+ pts for 3 different franchises

The Lakers had lost 9 straight games in Miami before last season. They’ve won 2 straight there since.

The Heat have lost 4 straight games at home.

Orlando Magic are above .500 at 9-8! They’re one of the hottest teams right now with 7 wins from their last 9.

Vucevic is averaging 31 ppg in his last 3 games

Warriors are 2-4 without Steph and are averaging 104.8 ppg in this run compared to 10-2 and 122 ppg with Steph.

Durant is shooting 42% and 18% from 3 in this 6 game stretch. Ice cold.

Warriors have lost 4 straight road games.

The Wizards had a volatile practice this week with “verbal altercations” among players

Bradley Beal told team officials he’s “been dealing with this for seven years

😲😲😲

Lol Embiid 😄

THERES MORE TO THIS NOW

John Wall has been fined by the Wizards for his verbal exchange with coach Scott Brooks, including Wall saying
“F—k You” to Coach Brooks, per Woj.

My goodness the things have unravelled in Washington...

Watching too much Zion Williamson 😄

God I hope the Lakers dont go for any of them. Rather wait for AD KD

Utah blown out by Oladipo less Pacers.. what is wrong with this team

KEMBA WALKER. DAGGER

He dropped 43 after dropping 60... MAAAN I’m glad they got the W tonight can’t waste another one of those performances 😄

Kemba is unbelievable this year man

Trae young just had himself a 25/17 game.. 17 assist game a month into his nba career. So talented

Nuggets just can’t win atm , what happened to them.. from 9-1 to 10-7

Pelicans dropped 140 on the spurs and Randle had a trip dub off the bench.. man they’re explosive

How many times have they had 140 this year, I swear this is like the third time 😄 so many weapons in that offense

I’m not sure actually, I know they dropped 149 on the Kings and I think that’s it alongside tonight. They’ve had loads of 120-130 scoring games though. They’re exciting

More interesting thing that Spurs this season already had the games where they were allowed teams to score 140+ points. First time against Lakers (142) after overtime and this night was the 2nd time.

The last time they allowed opponents to score 140+ points in 1990-91 season. Seems that Spurs experimenting or just rebuilding their system and strategy in to this new style of basketball nowadays. I cannot believe that they are really that bad on defense.
