NBA's Initial Week: Assessing Its Impact and Performance
The NBA 2021-2022 season is underway, and teams are already making their marks. Here are some highlights from the opening games:
- The Denver Nuggets have started the season strong with a 3-0 record, but the specifics of the drama and intrigue in the NBA this season are not mentioned.
- The Milwaukee Bucks have bolstered their roster with the addition of Myles Turner, who reached the NBA Finals last season with Indiana. They also signed Gary Harris and Cole Anthony during the summer break. Additionally, they extended the contracts of Bobby Portis, Taurean Prince, Gary Trent Jr., and Jericho Sims.
- Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded a double-double with 23 points and 12 rebounds in the Bucks' season opener, while Jrue Holiday is averaging 13 points and 2 blocks over the first two games.
- In the Western Conference, Nikola Jokic is once again a popular MVP candidate, averaging 26.2 points, 11 rebounds, and 8.7 assists per game. Jokic threw an impressive lob to Aaron Gordon from the opposing side's three-point line.
- Out in the West, the Denver Nuggets' Jamal Murray has been shooting well in the first three games, while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Michael Porter Jr. have been effective behind the three-point line.
- In the Eastern Conference, the Boston Celtics' new "top six" has been performing well, and Jayson Tatum's pick-and-roll game with Porzingis looks unstoppable.
- The Memphis Grizzlies, on the other hand, have struggled with a 0-3 start, their first since the 2004-2005 season. Ja Morant is suspended for the first 25 games, but the team has signed Bismack Biyombo in hopes of improving their rebounding. Jaren Jackson and Desmond Bane have been phenomenal for the Grizzlies.
- Elsewhere, Tyrese Maxey has averaged an absurd 30.3 points off of 56% shooting from beyond the arc in his first three games. Damian Lillard dropped 39 points in the Bucks' season opener.
- Effects of the coronavirus have been felt in the NBA 2020-2021 season, with teams faltering and trades being made. The details of the Jimmy Butler saga are not specified, but the Philadelphia Sixers look better than they did a season ago.
- The specifics of LeBron's move to LA are not mentioned, but Aaron Gordon provides intensity on the defensive end and has made tough finishes at the rack for the Denver Nuggets.
As the season progresses, we can expect to see more exciting performances and developments from these teams and many others. Stay tuned for more updates from the NBA 2021-2022 season.
