@tekewhiffs Very good day! Even though sengun scored well i wouldn't doubt Tatum, was decent in a blowout so just have to hope the remaining 3 games aren't the same outcome.

#nbasupercoach Week 2 Day 1 review:

Good: Hali, Peterson, Maluach, Yaxel, Wilson, Giannis, Boozer

How good is this rookie crop man! They continue to show up night after night and today it was Yaxel leading the charge. Giannis and Hali scoring very well as well.

Ok: Tatum, Johnson

Tatum alright score in a blowout, hopefully the C's games can stay a bit closer. JJ shot poorly and didn't get his usual assist numbers, expect a bounce back.

Bad: Sasser

Wow what an awful pickup. Played 26 minutes a game in the first 3 to get a whopping 8 minutes today. Seems to have lost his spot to Walter Clayton who played very well.

Fair to say my trades haven't been great after day 1. Only 3 players that didn't go in "good" were my trade ins, and Brandon Miller drops a 40 after I trade him.

Was always going to be a risk trading him on a 4 game week, just have to hope that Kon and White are back soon to take some of his shots away.

Flagg, Sengun and Ant have been incredible premo picks so far so well done to those who have them.

Lauri and JJJ went down so look out for injury updates on them.

How did everyone else go to start Week 2?

[Nozz Talks NBA @NozzTalksNBA]

@Twittah13538791 Him and Sharpe went one up one down to Tatum and Sasser.

#nbasupercoach Week 1 Trades:

These are my trades for the first lockout lift of the year.

Sharpe and Miller bad reads for mid pricers. They simply aren't getting enough opportunity or not making enough of it. Getting rid of them to get a premo and rookie in.

Maxey was always a one week play for me as well. Still think hes fine to hold as he's a genuine premo but he's my guy to make way for Jalen Johnson.

Jalen Johnson is a no brainer for me. Has everything ran through him on offence, and has two 4 game weeks ahead. Easy premo pick.

Tatum is similar. Clear number one option with two 4 game weeks ahead. Should score very well as evidenced by his game vs the Knicks.

Sasser is my rookie pick for this week. Already have the must-have rookies, so I think he's next best. Getting 26 mpg so I think he has one of the best opportunities out of players that price. Also allows me to field Acuff which I'm totally fine with.

Hopefully can get a bounce back week next week. What trades are you all making ahead of Week 2?

[Nozz Talks NBA @NozzTalksNBA]

@corzab_213 Wow good start! And yep thats fair but would hurt to see him play well today.

[Nozz Talks NBA @NozzTalksNBA]

@Twittah13538791 I should've listened

[Nozz Talks NBA @NozzTalksNBA]

@walshjeee Yep not happy

[Nozz Talks NBA @NozzTalksNBA]

@walshjeee Nvm you already have Tatum! If it was a sideways like that then I'd look at D Mitch.

[Nozz Talks NBA @NozzTalksNBA]

@walshjeee Only move I'd 100% do is Mikel Brown to Sasser or a similar rookie priced option. Could also maximise schedule by getting giannis to a 4 gamer like Tatum or Donovan Mitchell but that's not a necessity.

[Nozz Talks NBA @NozzTalksNBA]

@Twittah13538791 It is hard for me to trade him on a 4, but it allows me to get a premo like Tatum, and Kon + Coby White should be back very soon and take some of his opportunity away.

[Nozz Talks NBA @NozzTalksNBA]

@tekewhiffs Honestly, looking very good and well set up for the next few weeks! Only move I'd definitely do is getting rid of Evans for someone who will make cash, but the rest is up to you if you really want to maximise this week's schedule or not.

[Nozz Talks NBA @NozzTalksNBA]

Yep sorry didn't literally mean rookie - just rookie price. Brazile is an interesting one for me. As much as I love him as a Denver fan, will he keep the same role when Cam Johnson, Spencer Jones and Alpha Diallo are back? He'll still be a good option though because he is so cheap.

#nbasupercoach Week 1 Review:

Scored 770 for the week.

Ranked 3430, Top 16%

Good: Luka, Hali, Acuff, Maxey, Wagler, Maluach, Yaxel, Wilson, Giannis, Boozer

Happy with most Premos as they scored as expected (Maxey very good, Giannis decent). Rookies played very well and proved they're fieldable.

Ok: Peterson, Wemby

Peterson fine score for a rookie on field. Wemby again fine score for a premo but would've liked a bit better.

Bad: Miller, Sharpe

Both of my mid pricers have not paid off. Definitely trading both out. Miller just can't hit a shot and will get less opportunity going forward, and Sharpe looks like his good games won't outweigh his bad ones.

N/A: Dybantsa

Fine with starting even though he didnt play.

Will post my trades later when I've thought harder about them and lock them in.

How did everyone else go this week?

P.s My name is supposed to be Steve Clifford's Men but got cut off 😭

[Nozz Talks NBA @NozzTalksNBA]

And now KCP is injured.

Today has been awful for injuries. Hate to see it.

[Nozz Talks NBA @NozzTalksNBA]

Is it time to panic for New York?

They're now 0-3 and just conceded a huge run to Orlando to lose.

Is it just a championship hangover that theyll get over or is there real concern?

#nba #knicks #newyork

[Nozz Talks NBA @NozzTalksNBA]

Jalen Suggs is now injured too.

What is happening this year? Way too many injuries already.

[Nozz Talks NBA @NozzTalksNBA]

Jalen Williams is down.

Absolutely heartbreaking stuff for a guy who's had such a bad run with injuries.

Stretcher coming out. Hope he's OK.

[Nozz Talks NBA @NozzTalksNBA]

Luka Doncic is playing like the MVP candidate we know he is this gane!

Shot making absolutely ridiculous. Up to 50 now.

#nba #lakers #lakernation

[Nozz Talks NBA @NozzTalksNBA]

@nbafantchat The way he skies for rebounds is so refreshing to see.

[Nozz Talks NBA @NozzTalksNBA]

Good overtime win for Denver's first of the season.

Shouldn't have been down 23 in the first place but a win is a win.

Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic with amazing performances as per usual (77 combined points)!

But my MVP of the game is Trevon Brazile. Played elite down the stretch as a second gamer and has quickly become a fan favourite for myself and many other Denver fans.

@mrmiyagisansan Yeah that Flagg injury is brutal, was looking so good to start

[Nozz Talks NBA @NozzTalksNBA]

#nbasupercoach Day 5 review:

Good: Maluach, Miller, Yaxel, Wilson

Rookies continue to show out an impress. Miller finally a good game but took 29 shots to get there and was inefficient again. Don't see how that holds up with Kon and Coby White back soon.

Ok: Maxey, Wemby

Wemby another below average but not disastrous game. Maxey a bad one but bound to happen with the talent the roster has.

Bad: Giannis, Sharpe

Both fouled out in relatively low minutes. Giannis first bad game so excusable. Sharpe has had 1 good and 1 bad game, so tomorrow really decides whether he was a good POD pick or not.

Jalen Johnson had an insane 16 assist near triple double, looks to be a great scorer this season.

Jokic owners can be happy that he scored extremely well like he normally does. Still don't know if hes a must get for round 2 or you let the price drop, will see after tomorrow's games with other options.

Trevon Brazile played elite off the bench and will get rotational minutes, but benefited from no Cam Johnson, Spencer Jones or Alpha Diallo.

The 3% that own Banchero will be gutted with the injury news after his great start.

Dylan Harper has proven himself as a scorer when starting, but the question is will be keep starting when Tobias Harris is back?

Mo Wagner has been a bad pick for the 22.7% that started him. Behind Sharpe and even though he fouled out still only got 14 minutes.

How did everyone else go this Supercoach Sunday?
