2027 NBA Season

[LogitechMouse]

Draymond Green choking Dillon Brooks seemed a bit over the top. Draymond is getting a little crazier each year it seems. Only a matter of time before he hurts someone (again). I think the league needs to do something about it this time. I’m expecting at least a fine and maybe some suspended games being announced tomorrow.

Is it your first time to see Draymond like that? I don't think that he's getting a little crazier, but what I will say is that he's just like that, and he's been doing it for years, and I don't see him changing until he retires.

He did it with Gobert, he did it with Nurkic, and he'll do it with anybody because... that's just how he is. League needs to do something? Well, they're doing something about it like fine and suspension, but did it change anything? Nah. Even after he got suspended for many games after what he did with Nurkic, nothing changed about him. He's still doing the same things that he's been doing. Don't expect a fine or a suspension on him. Just a mere ejection is fine already.

The sad part is that he is not thinking about the team. It's somehow a loss for the Warriors when he gets suspended because they badly needed every piece to win games. 5 wins and 3 losses is not bad, but it ain't good either. But in that game against the Suns, the win made Charles Bassey shine a lot. 19 points and 8 rebounds. Those rebounds are very important, and the Warriors need more players who will keep on stepping up their game.
The rookie Yaxel made 16 points. I want to see him go above 20 every night, but 16 is nice.

Draymond Green was ejected in game against Sun after he was assessed a double technical after he tackled Khaman Maluach. This is not the first time Draymond got an ejections. He already has 26 ejections in his career, just three short to tie Rasheed Wallace 29 ejections. Though Warriors won their game against Sun but what Draymond has done is against the spirit of the game and totally unacceptable. Warriors are doing good in this season and there management must take strict notice of this act by Draymond to avoid such situations later in the season.

LOL, this whole reply is classic rainbet signature campaign participant.  Everybody here know this was not his first ejection! It's Draymond Green for Christ sake, that's what he does. If Dillon Brooks didn't charge at him and touch him the whole situation would have ended in a flagrant foul type 1 and no ejection. If Green gets approached he is retaliating, liking or not. GSW will do shit, they know how he is. His temper was always an issue and they didn't really do anything when he punched his teammate (only traded the other guy, haha).

He probably needs a rehab either at Power Slap or he needs a debut in the UFC ring. If NBA hasn't gone soft with all these fines and whatnot, I think players would really be wild some of the time in the court, but we're in the soft era basketball already and what makes it hard for players are these fines imposed on them. I guess suspension and fine will be good but I doubt if he'll learn a lesson until there's someone who will probably match his energy to start a brawl. Anyways, I don't think he's that tough.

Regardless of the circumstances, such violence should not be allowed in any sport. I believe this action deserves a very severe punishment; I don't think a fine is a deterrent, as all players already earn a lot of money. If the NBA management cannot take tough action on this, I am sure we will continue to witness things that are completely unbecoming of basketball. In recent years, the level of physicality in the NBA has decreased; we don't see the kind of playing style we saw in the 90s, but if a player intentionally tries to harm another, this mistake must be prevented. If you want to be tough on the court, you play defense, you don't choke your opponent

There might be a time and a place for it, but throwing one guy to the ground in a dirty play and then choking a teammate that came to his defense is not it...  That's my issue with Draymond.  He wants to be a tough guy so bad, which would be fine if he weren't a dirty player.  At least his target this time was Dillon Brooks, who is also a troll and dirty player.  So they both got a taste of their own medicine.  I personally wouldn't want either guy on my team, which is why I stopped watching the Suns play.

Houston Rockets is much better this year with the return of Fred Van Vleet and the transfers of Bogdanovic and Marcus Smart. They had a good win against the Celtics. Paul George was missing in Boston, but they’re a system-driven team anyway; keeping a team like that to 93 points is a tremendous achievement. Their previous lowest total was 108 against Orlando, who are also a formidable defensive side. The system is really coming together at Houston. Provided they stay injury-free, they’re starting to look like serious title contenders. OKC’s injury problems, New York’s lack of depth are all working in Houston’s favour. KD is doing great but he is not doing the heavy lifting. Alperen Sengun seems like he improved from last year. He played good against good defenders and he is much more efficient this year. He had one turnover last night against Celtics for example and almost a triple double with 26 points. I have high hopes about them this year.

^ I saw Jayson Tatum refuse to give Marcus Smart a handshake. Turns out Tatum is kind of a dick. I always thought Brown was the problem on that team, but now I’m not so sure.

No games today because of voting day. A bit disappointing but I guess that gives me a chance to see what movies are out there.

Weird though, Smart has been out of the Celtics for many years, but it could be that they have beef when Smart was still playing with them. I remember that Tatum though said that he didn't know that Jaylen Brown will be traded.

But Brown just reply with a cryptic message in his X account. We will see, if the Sixers are going to travel to Boston Garden and they let Brown play, we are going to witness how Tatum will react if they will give Brown his props being a Celtic in a video tribute.

It looks like that game will take place in January on the 21st.  You make a good point that this will be a side quest to watch for their behavior towards each other.  I think they would be dumb to be anything but appreciative of each other, but egos and emotions are real. 

I think Brown just got sick of the narrative that Tatum was the best player on the team and after getting the Finals MVP and seeing his name in trade talks, he had every right to be mad and want to get traded.  Ending up in Philly with a superteam was just good luck I think.

They should give him the respect he deserve he carry the team and give them a championship, if they don't then that shows what kind of organization and if the fans booed him that  also shows what low class fans they are, the celtics is the one who traded JB.
JB should burry the Celtics with a great performance showing what they have traded a away was a mistake, lets see also how Tatum responds to this challenge for him he needs to prove that he deserve to be retain instead of JB.

I’ve been following the NBA for a long time, but for some reason, Brooklyn always seems to be near the bottom of the standings.
I don’t recall them ever having a championship as their goal.
A long time ago—if my memory serves me right—they were in the league under the name "New Jersey." Back then, they had Steve Nash and were contenders at the top, but since they became Brooklyn, I don’t remember them ever assembling a strong roster. I’m not sure why that is. Or perhaps I’m mistaken?

Actually they did try to make a run of it, getting Durant, Irving and Harden. But it was not enough as there was a lot of problems with their big 3. And so after that, they've lost so many future picks getting them.

And so up to now, they have a hard time getting good players in their team. The best that they can have is MPJ. So it might take some time for them to rebuild and acquire great picks and good players to compliment.

That was not the first time they stake all they have. Before they also acquired big names like Kevin Garnet, Paul Pierce, Joe Johnson, Deron Williams and Shaun Livingston for their first five and have a big bench...
Andray Blatche, Andrei Kirilenko, Brook Lopez and more.. They stake all of it and did not turn good.

The main issue of their paired up is injury, Irving at that time always got injured. Then Harden is not happy with situations happening in Nets.

If Durant, Irving and Harden just played together for long time, maybe they get more better result. But lacking of time for not playing together cause a problem and one of the reason why Harden asked for a trade.

MPJ is good player. Maybe they should focus to get a good back ups, to possibly help their team at least to get some wins.

yeah they seem to have solved a great majority of the troubles they experienced last season with the arrival of FVV and Smart.
imo return of Steven Adams along with FVV and the additions of Marcus Smart and Bogdan Bogdanovic are the right moves. we'll probably watch a much stronger Rockets this year.

That position that Fred has been holding is their problem when he was injured because of his experience in the floor as a point guard, other players now don't have to worry about playmaking because he is now back they can now focus in the position they are assign, unlike before that no one is making right plays because they are not born point guard, so they sacrifice their position just to fill the void that is missing now its a different story, maybe that is why they have more success in this season.

It’s true and most importantly the adjustment made by Amen Thompson for the PG role which is not suitable for him while the Rockets lost a lot of potential hustle from Amen when he is not on the PG position.

I still don’t check the current Rockets roster but I hope they already have a good PG on their bench since Reed Sheppard still lack of experience when it comes on crucial time ball handling.

Most of their lost last year is due to turnover especially when they are just killing time to protect their lead.

The Houston Rockets’ only defeat so far came against Dallas a game in which All-Star Alperen did not play due to injury. Given that one of their most important players was sidelined, a 5 point loss is understandable. They have had a very strong start to the season, and I completely agree with your point about Fred. He is the game exceptionally well last year, we saw several players try to take on that playmaking role in his absence, but none could do it as effectively as he does. It looks like we’re going to see an even better Rockets team this year.

The Golden State Warriors have refused to pay Kristaps Porzingis and are saying that he has refused to render services. I’ve actually never heard of that happening before. An NBA player not getting paid because they refuse to come to work. I get he’s struggling right now, but leaving 20 million dollars on the table because you don’t want to come to work and sit with doctors is crazy to me.
