The Denver Nuggets are 5-0 since acquiring Aaron Gordon.

Gordon is +69 in +/- during that span, the highest on the team.

I really like Denver and Phoenix in the West. It's a toss up to me. I'm sorry to my Utah and LA Clipper friends.
Although if LeBron James and AD come back healthy for the Lakers they're still the defending NBA champions.

LOL, I'm just a miserable Houston Rockets fan. Forgive me for feeling a little excited when I actually see some great basketball being played.
I still think the Brooklyn Nets are going to win the 2021 NBA Finals if they're healthy. That team is just too talented. All that superstar power.

Hey “miserable Houston Rockets” fan, get on my 17 year struggle level before you complain about your team sucking

Dude Curry has 39 points on 13/20 shooting, just made a crazy ass 3 and has been cooking one of the best defenses and best perimeter defenders in the league.. Going to the rack with ease as well..


Witnessing greatness.

In your honest opinion, whats his ceiling?

It may all be worth the struggle if the Rockets win the NBA Lottery (14% chance) and land the #1 overall pick.
They have a top four protected pick and also have the first-round picks from Portland and Milwaukee. We'll see.
We should be able to draft a really good player with a top four pick. I'll trade the other two for a mid-teen pick.

The Houston Rockets should pounce on the 2021 NBA draft. A great chance to add some young talent.
We're also loaded with first-round picks in future drafts. From now until 2026 we're in excellent shape.
While the Brooklyn Nets sacrificed their future to win a championship this year we'll load up for the future.

Also a couple other tidbits I forgot to add. Very impressive big man play. Kevin McHale just talked about that presence in the paint on NBATV.

Joel Embiid vs the Boston Celtics this season:

— 3 games
— 96 minutes
— 115 points
— 60.4% shooting
— 3-0 record

He has attempted 56 free-throws in the matchup. The Celtics have attempted 58.

Zion Williamson has scored 20 points on 50% shooting in 25 straight games.
No other player has had a longer streak since the three-point era (1980).

Between two legitimate MVP candidates like superstar center Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic. Add in a young stud like Zion Williamson.
It may not be what it used to be during the '80s, '90s and early '00s (rule changes) but the big man play today is still A+ exceptional.

I grew up watching an NBA that featured a superstar center or power forward on every team. So I was greatly spoiled but I appreciate today's talent.

Lets pull this fucking win out man!!!!!!!



Honestly the fact that we have decided to baby him and the circumstances of missing the whole training camp and a few games have made us tip toe him in the league.. I don't like it. I hope his confidence isn't shook from it because to me, running a pick and roll with him and Curry or Klay is damn near unstoppable.. But if we keep BABYING him because we don't think he is ready we will stunt his growth..

If we don't stunt his growth, he can be a 20pts+-12rb-3a 3blocks a game big time center with a shot..

Beating Jrue is no easy task. Impressive.

3 blocks a game for someone who appears to be allergic to contact seems a stretch

A glorified Nerlens Noel. Just kidding. He's already way better at this stage of his career.
