I have also watched a video and he has achieved many things in their game against the Warriors and Spurs. Lemme enumerate some:
  • His 40 pt triple double against the Spurs I think is the 2nd time that a 20 yr old has made and the first who did it? His Idol LBJ
  • He and KAT are the only players in the past 15 seasons with 20 pts, 5 reb and 5 assist in a single quarter. Source
  • He is the first player to outscore, outrebound and out-assist a team in a quarter since Allen Iverson on Feb. 19, 2003 against the Bulls. Source
There are some more but you can just visit the twitter page @ESPNStatsInfo

The Lebron Era is over and now its the Luka era right now Cheesy. His name has been in the MVP list already. From ROY to MVP Cheesy.

Credits to your efforts Sir for enumerating all of that.

Luka, damn Luka.
I am a man with a wife and 2 kids but I really have a crush to this guy.  Grin
His presence and cleanliness is something that lights the whole floor when playing.
Add his intensity and his skill set when he is playing. Wise and a good team player.
Yes he is a star now. There would be no question when he suddenly become this season MVP.

For why, well LogitechMouse said it all. Thank you.

It is really weird to see Golden State Warriors being trashed like this, after years of dominance. At least they will have solid chances to get nr1 pick in the next draft. With a bit of luck  and healthy team,   they might be contenders again next year.
With their key players out for some months, I expected this to happen already with the Warriors. I'm a warriors fan as always but this season, I will pick another team who will be champion and I believe that they will make a comeback next season when their key players are back + their draft pick.

Luka Doncic is taking over the NBA one triple-double at a time

Its unusual to see those teams on bottom ranks yet we already know on how they do perform on past seasons and as you said they are usually
placed on top spots but now what happened? We cant still conclude yet since its still a few number of games though and as said anything can
switch up from bottom to the top but we can really make some comments and views with these unusual events. This years season is very unpredictable
due to those player switch ups.

There are not much changes in Phoenix and Blazers but these teams switch positions in the standing. Although in Blazers, there is a reason as Lillard is out, for Suns on that Top 8, we can say that they are a rising team in the West today.

But right, too early to tell since the rank 14 Spurs is just 3 wins away from the top 8 which is the Timberwolves. And if we put the rank 14th Spurs into East, they will be at rank 9th to 10th so it's really hard to catch up in the West if the team is always losing during the early period of the season.

As stated previously in this thread I do enjoy watching Denver play and cheer for them (when they arent aying the knicks) because they play good basketball which is nice to watch.  But you wont catch me with a denver hat on or anything

An underrated team, I think they even have a chance to beat the best teams in the West with the way they are showing now.
Jokic will improve and matured, so as his teammates and that would help them to compete in the tight and strong competition in the west.
We've seen them keeps improving and the blend of chemistry is really giving them the types of games they wanted to showcase. Denver is very quiet but yet a competitive team, they can bring good competitions against those so called super teams.

Jokic being the main man is doing his best to lift his team and brings out the best from his teammates, if they continue being healthy they have a good and competitive chance.

Seems like hardcore fans of GSW is too quiet now. Cheesy

Let them take a break for now. And besides, for me, it's not surprising after all if the Warriors ended up on the bottom since we all know what happens.

What's more surprising to me is those who are in the bottom last season are now in the Top 8 on the West. So unusual to see the likes of San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers at the bottom since they are used to seen always in Top 8 even at the early phase of the season.

Anyways, we are not even yet on half of the season so expect that changes will surely happen. The gap between W/L is not that large. The competition is really tough as always in the West so every win matters.
Fact!

Just to post the current season standings.

And there goes the Nuggets once again.
Although I have been losing quite some money betting on them (lose because of handicaps) I dont regret it.
I am being more pumped watching their games with my bets on the line.

I guess I just need to be more careful by now, or I will just win the other games. Grin

I am also a GSW fan. I love Curry. But this team is just broken down. We may not see a good event in this team.


For this season, they are done, hard to accept for most fans but that is the reality.
Curry and Thompson may come back this season but they will not push Curry and Thompson to the point that they might get injured again.
They are in the bottom of standing now, it's hard to catch up in the playoff spot as when they come back form injury, it doesn't mean they are already back to their normal form, some adjustments will be made and they need more playing time to finally back in shape.

Yeah you will be hard pressed to find golden state fans this year.  In the bay area they will still come out for their warriors but this country wide golden state fan bull will end.  I live thousands of miles away and last coue years seen jerseys on "fans" all the time.  Now, not a one of them.
There is no sense of wearing it if you are not proud of what they are doing lately, maybe the sales would also drop significantly this season due to the problem the team is experiencing now. But don't worry mate, if they can't come back this season, they will surely have a good next season as long as Curry, Thompson, and Green will all remain healthy.

That's not real fandom.  I've been a knick fan all my life.  They've sucked for 20 straight years.  I still rock their wool hats in the winter and jerseys/shirts.  And yes I agree when those guys come back they will be fine it's just funny to see all those people disappear within 10 games of them sucking  Cheesy

Luka Doncic is taking over the NBA one triple-double at a time

The 20-year-old Slovenian sensation has been running roughshod over the NBA so far this season, and the guard dominated once again Wednesday night for the Mavericks, recording his seventh triple-double in 14 games as Dallas destroyed what’s left of the Golden State Warriors, 142-94.

This is a bit of an old news but I'm surprised no one has talked about Pau Gasol being waived by the Blazers. The reason was that he's recovery from surgery seems to be longer than expected. They are currently looking at a possibility of giving him a coaching role instead while recovering in Portland.

It's probably a good call by the team and for Pau to retire. He's already accomplished a lot when he was a Laker.
Giving him spot inside the coaching role is a good call instead of trying to recover and play back, he already proven he's worth he should give his spot to another players who can help the team. Considering the performance of Blazers even after adding Melo they need another quality player to help them up and make a good impact to the team. The team barely need to have good adjustment to whoever player to fill the position.

Again, let's do the talk after several games. Their next game is against the Milwaukee Bucks. One of the tough teams in the league that needed a serious approach in terms of defense. Let's see how Melo will deal on this.
Okay, let's see his next performance. I really hope *crossing my fingers Melo could add more points to his team for their upcoming match against Greek Freak's team which is also one of the strong teams in Eastern. Honestly, this would be a tough one and I have a gut feel (just a gut feel so don't be triggered again, chill Cheesy) that he won't get a better result not only because of strong opponents but also due to homecourt disadvantage. It seems that everything is in favor of Bucks this time so Blazers should definitely make extra efforts if they want to win Smiley.

Lol okay he has 24 minutes of game time under his belt now we can see this game and base the decision if he is worth it or not.  Good thing you arent a gm, as previously said all the starters sucked.  Would you boot them all off the team too now.  And they had 10 games to play plus preseason plus training plus, etc etc.  Everyone just needs to chill.

With that being said, does anyone follow next year draft prospects, it it expected to be good year?

I think they are literally doing this on purpose just to get a higher chance of getting the first pick. First of all seeing their stars injured like this as well with a very long time frame for their recovery is something to be suspicious off Curry, Draymond, and Russell are all gone and they really have the worst roster right now to win some games. Another point is that one of their healthy players which is DLo (injured as of the moment) is on the trading block to lure in some draft picks or some key pieces its obvious that they are really preparing more for the next season rather than win some games this season.

What makes Doncis such a weird enigma is that his defense is not horrible neither. Now we have seen a ton of players who are amazing on offensive end but some of them don't even work that hard on defense, Lebron didn't even cared about defense in the previous couple years (he does now) Doncic is not a black hole on defense tho, that is a great deal for him.

People being shocked about Doncic always gives me a laugh, this kid was always great, I watched him since he was 15-16 years old and I watched him on euroleague as well and was there when he got the MVP trophy too, dude was magical and I expected him to be this great easily. However, I could have been wrong, I thought Ricky Rubio would have been a super star in NBA as well but he is just a good player, not a star.
