What are some of your takes so far? Any surprising or disappointing teams this season? Unexpected stars? Future takes for the rest of the season?

Here are some of mine:

  1. The Thunder are the most surprising team so far, and moght be genuine contenders. Chet will win ROTY

  2. If the Rockets make 8 seed and keep up a top 5 defense, Udoka is a lock for COTY

  3. I think the Clippers will combust and might scrape 10 seed with how good the West is

LMK some of yours

    The Suns are a great team when missing 1-2 of their Big 3.

    We don’t yet know how good they will be with all three of them.

    My take - any Spurs fans complaining about this season and calling for Pop to be fired aren’t true fans and can go support some other team.

    You know our motto is pound the rock, right? This is going to take time - years maybe. They’re the youngest team in the league and they are battling hard - I’ve seen every game and this is a team that gives their all. There’s real cameraderie and talent there, just going to need time to figure out what we’ve got and how it fits together. I love watching them despite the blowouts.

    We’ve got our generational superstar in the making ( who, despite what you might read here, is everything I hoped for and more ) . Sure, everyone’s getting their hits in on us right now but they’ll regret it when we’re back winning titles.

    Maybe I’m biased but if the Wolves remain a top 3 seed, top 3 defense and the bigs continue to work, I think Chris Finch should be in the convo too. Especially because many people didn’t understand how Rudy and KAT would work and were adamant that the Wolves made one of the dumbest decisions in NBA history trying to pair the two. If Finch proves everyone wrong then I’d think that’s COTY-worthy.

    you’re taking a 6 game sample size where the clippers were integrating harden while it practically being their training camp

    they’re 4-1 since then btw and have started to figure it out

      they’re 4-1 since then

      Two of those games were against the Spurs though. They’re only 3-8 against non-Spurs or Blazers opponents this year. The Dallas win was impressive, but the Clippers still haven’t had a good road win this year, 15 games into the year.

        There’s a lot of time left, 15 games is nothing. Let them figure it out and we’ll see what happens

        People were pounding the table saying Rudy and KAT would never work and turns out with time and chemistry, they can work
