    OTG Roundtable: Who's Going to Start Hot in 2019-2020?

    Troy Taormina - USA TODAY Sports The 2019-2020 NBA regular season is almost upon us. Preseason has already begun. We've seen Anthony Davis - as a Laker - serve up 22/10/2 in 18 minutes against a depleted GSW team. We blinked, and TJ Warren had a 30-point game in a Pacers uniform. Buddy Hield is gunning transition 3's like he's a Klay-Curry fusion dance. With all of these stupendous performances being recorded in the preseason, you'd better believe that speculation is a-brewin

    Roundtable: Riskiest 2019 Offseason?

    The Ringer It's that time of year again - the crickets are chirping, sportswriters are yawning, and the curtains have (basically) closed on the 2019 NBA Offseason. With that being said, we'd be remiss if we didn't get some staff opinions on an absolute whirlwind of a summer; we're certain that our talented writers have some colourful opinions on what went down this past month. With that being said, it's time... for another OTG Roundtable! The question: Which team had the risk

    Rountable: Who Is Golden State's Biggest Challenger?

    Golden State of Mind You made your pick, now our writers make theirs! Dennis Dow: Houston Rockets Reading that team name makes you think that I might be confused and think that it is last year, but I assure you I am referring to this year. The Houston Rockets have had a difficult season and they have managed to stay afloat thanks to a historic stretch of scoring from James Harden, probably the NBA's least liked superstar. While the Warriors at times have looked unbeatable t

USA Today This is a league with many players capable of turning their fortunes around from one season to another with the help of their surrounding situation. The player who, in my opinion, has the best chance of doing so this year is Jakob Poeltl. He played well enough last season with the Raptors. But after getting dealt to San Antonio in the Kawhi Leonard trade, a change of scenery will help him fl

    Members of the Off the Glass staff make their selections for Coach of the Year! Justin Irvin Coach of the year: Luke Walton Via. ESPN My pick is Luke Walton. The addition of LeBron James will be enough to get the Lakers into the playoffs, which should be considered a successful season after the Lakers' last handful. So far, Walton has done a good job maintaining order in LA, where the media spotlight is always bright and hot. I think he will continue to do so and continue to

    Jac Manuell - @TheJmanJBT Luka Doncic Via. NBA.com The fact that the current rookie class picked Colin freaking Sexton to be Rookie of the Year over Luka Doncic is an absolute travesty. Luka Doncic is one of the most talented rookies of the past half decade with the accolades to match. He played an integral role in helping Slovenia win its first EuroBasket in 2017 and was the MVP of the best league outside the NBA at the tender age of 19. The fact he has proved it on the inte

    Roundtable: What If You Could Prevent One NBA Injury?

    Chicago Tribune NBA discussions are often times filled with ‘what if’ scenarios; injuries, teams staying together, and other key aspects dominate the ‘what if’ thinking. What if I told you that you could go back through NBA history to prevent injuries from hindering one player’s career? That question was presented to the OTG team; here is how they responded.

    This upcoming free agency class is headlined by LeBron James and is followed by names such as Paul George, DeMarcus Cousins and a boat load of restricted free-agents. However, last offseason, where we saw the likes of Paul George, Kyrie Irving and Jimmy Butler all traded. It goes to show anyone can be moved when things aren't smooth sailing. Now enter Kawhi Leonard and the San Antonio Spurs. A break-up between Kawhi and the Spurs seems like a possible road to be taken this of

    Roundtable: Who is the Most Improved Player of the Year?

    This is one of the most feel-good NBA awards there is, period. This award is for the guy who stood out the most from a previous season, the guy who took his game farther than most predicted, or sooner than most expected. It's not something that happens as often as it may seem, that being players taking their game to a level higher than most thought was possible. Here's who we at Off the Glass have selected as Most Improved Player of the Year. Evan Dyal - @EvanDyal Most Improv

Eric Gordon held this award last year, and Jamal Crawford has held it a couple times in the past five years. A past winner and runner-up last season may be a favorite this year, we weigh in.

A better example may be the revolving door of head coaches over in Sacramento or the amount of knee injuries Derrick Rose has suffered. Hopefully, one of them landed and hit home with you, the reader. This roundtable we discuss who our choices are for Coach of the Year, proudly, we all do

So, we hit the drawing board to bring you this roundtable! Players breakout all the time, some being role players, others being stars. It’s playoff-push time for some, it's earning a contract for others and for some it's simply about playing dominantly. In this OTG roundtable we talk about which Eastern Conference players we
