FFS 8 weeks out with a torn meniscus. That's such a shame. Im glad pelicans have better medical staff now as this would have been a huge worry years ago.(Eric Gordon). But still it's not a good sign. I hope he can come back with the same bounce he had before.
On a plus note I'm happy one of my favourite players buddy buckets got paid. He deserves it. Some big contract extensions coming out.

I really don't understand the slang. Like coming out of Sacramento.
Zion out 6-8 weeks. Does anyone see his future as Dukies wouldn't eve play him against N.C. for fear of injury of him having an Oden type future in the NBA as the first pick? Maybe three years tops in the league?

Yeah sorry I meant contract extensions from all over the league. Not the same extent as a few seasons ago but some players certainly set themselves up really nicely. Like d. Sabonis, that's big money for the pacers to spend on a second Center.
I don't think zion is bust. That's not just me being a hopeful fan. But how he comes back from this injury will certainly show if he can play up to the hype. I'm no expert but I don't think it's a weight issue. Maybe just bad luck. Maybe his knee just wasn't 100%. The Oden comparison will always be there. But what about Blake Griffin or Ben simmons. Came back strong after whole rookie season out. And embiid too. The kid is only 19. His body's still growing.

So after the first two days of games, who had impressed you to most?
You all know I'm high on NAW though he did shoot pretty bad.
RJ Barrett showed why he was highly regarded. (also those new Knicks jerseys are awesome)
Kyrie lighting up Brooklyn was fun.
So happy the 1st battle of LA went to the clips.

Yeah Spida will shine this year. Good vets around him and playing in team USA he would have learnt so much more. All star and maybe all NBA team this year.
Jazz getting the all star game is pretty cool. You going to get yourself tickets Barnaby?

Made big news here of course. Long way away still, hopefully will not be in prison during that time. But seriously it is a great vibe last time they had it here, and the Olympics, yes I am old, Just glad the Thunder don't have Westbrook. They could never beat them and they got their first W.
"Kyrie lighting up Brooklyn was fun.

Kyrie falling down on the last play down by one was amusing, not exactly Michael Jordan. And yeah, Lebron sucked, A.D. was amazing, and the Clippers won. Am happy.

That sucked. Glad the season is 80 plus games.
Liking the Mavs not for a championship team but I like their team. Enjoyable to watch. Knicks fuck everything up, always. Always get rid of their best players and get old vets. Horrible.
What is more sad is that in the East the Nets are picked as a 3 or 4 seed. I get the injuries but really? The East is that pathetic?

My beloved Celtics look so good this year. I like this team so much better then last year glad Kyrie is gone and took his ego with him.

Luka Doncič is unbelievable. Is he even 20 yet?
Yeah I'm glad its 82 games. Especially now jrue is out. This is a typical pelicans start to a season.
Trae young setting the tone early is good see. Hawks have a chance to make noise because of how crap the east is.

"After the first two games of the Jazz’s 2019-20 season, there was a popular meme going around social media, showing the Scooby-Doo character Fred having apparently apprehended Utah point guard Mike Conley (who had shot a combined 4 for 27 in those matchups), only to then remove a mask and reveal him to actually be former Jazz point guard (and notoriously fickle shot-maker) Ricky Rubio."
That made me laugh. Strange how some athletes have so much coordination and agility but can't shoot a fucking basketball. Minnie fans will get that one but they still gave him a standing ovation when he returned? Was a reason they got rid of them and same with Jazz.

Donovan 1 out of two at the line. Life is good in Jazzland. Lakers beat them but L.A. fake man Lebron is having problems with his wig. So makes up for the one L this year.

Bad luck for the warriors. I'm certainly not a fan but you hate to see injuries plague a team like that.
KAT v Embiid wow. Though after the punch it looked more like trying suck each others necks. I loved simmons holding him in a sleeper hold on the floor and Sixers claim he was a peace maker.

Look at this Celtics team go! I love these guys on par with the 08 team. Maybe even more, so stoked on this squad.

The Jazz are looking pretty good, too. I heard yesterday that Kawhi Leonard didn't play last night because of an undisclosed injury, but that the team doctors cleared him to play, said he was fine. Is all that nonsense that happened in San Antonio going to happen again with Kawhi?
