In this twenty-eighth very lightly produced installment of Barnards on the NBA, dad Matt and now 10-year old son Emilio dig into early storylines from the past week of the 2020-2021 NBA season, note the passing of NBA player James Hardy and reflect on the early MVP race.
This episode features conversation about:
- career high point totals (Hayward, Steph, Beal, Tyrese Maxey)
- Luka and the Joker matching 38s
- LaMelo Ball becoming the youngest player ever to record a triple-double (a night after almost doing so)
- eye popping early season stats from Paul George, CJ McCollum and Myles Turner
- Jerami Grant taking a step forward
- Andre Drummond and Domantas Sabonis going for 26/24
- Pascal Siakam rounding into form
- More injuries (Fultz, Bryant, Hayes, Bogdanovic) and COVID-related absences (Tatum, Sixers, Mavs)
- Chimezie Metu balling out in limited minutes
