The 2025-2026 NBA Season

[TheFifthSet]

It's actually hilarious how many people he manages to p1ss off on here lol

And the mods just defer to the volume rather than acting on anything actually ban-worthy. Unfortunate.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Well, if anybody speaks to him in other places. Let him know I miss him, and I'm experimenting with a big again.

7 ft 1 with Rondo's passing.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

No kicking the ball away rule in the NBA.
That's because they don't kick.
Oh, I know. I do enjoy how the whistle is blown, then the player takes a shot anyway. A nice free shot, of course, if it goes in, I'd probably be annoyed.

I'm watching Boston vs Minnesota.

P*sses them off about what? Medvedev? He doesn’t even say anything controversial

 

[InsuranceMan]

“It’s actually impressive that they’ve made it a tied game with the pelicans right now”

…W’s broadcast…

Exactly, bro is pretty mild-mannered compared to others here

Just one more thing I have to say for now. I love him like a brother-in-law.

I'm done with the Cavs...they're dead to me

I watched yesterday certainly an ugly game and certainly not the team I watched last season. Quite surprised when I tuned in

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Lakers continue to cook. ''Luka out here playing like he's on 2k rookie mode.''

Garland, Ball, Allen, Merrill, Strus, Nance all out tonight...I fear Garland will never be fully healthy again because of that toe injury...apparently has a metal plate in his shoe and a toe clamp

 

[InsuranceMan]

wtf do you do about OKC

 

[marc45]

Cavs deserve to be relegated...Golden State, no Steph, no Butler, no problem...Cavs have five days off now...wish it were fifty...they don't deserve to be seen in public

 

[TheFifthSet]

First game without Shai, I-Hart Dort and Caruso are out too, alright, finally a chance to watch some competitive OKC basketball.

[checks score]

45-20 at the end of the first. tied for their highest-scoring stanza of the year.

 

[TheFifthSet]

wtf do you do about OKC

ensnare them in some kind of gambling honeytrap.

Realistically, nothing. They opened as 11.5 point favourites on the road without their best player and three other quality rotation guys, all four of whom are All-D calibre defenders. I’ve been following the lines closely for 10+ years and have never seen anything remotely like what’s going on with the Thunder this year.

 

[InsuranceMan]

Moments like these I almost wish the league was rigged. NBA antitrust governance, break em up. Clippers

 

[Oval_Solid]

nba cup!

 

[tennisjedi]

Knicks win their 1st NBA Cup!

good riddance

 

[Pheasant]

The game of the year was the Wolves vs Nuggets last night. Wow. The Wolves closed out regulation with a 24-9 run, which includes Edwards hitting 3 straight FT to cut the lead to 3, followed by Edwards hitting a trey with 1.1 seconds left in regulation to tie the game up. The Wolves raced out to a 9 point lead in OT, only for Jokic to hit a pair of treys to cut the lead to 2. Denver won the game, thanks to Jokic breaking Curry’s OT record by putting up a ridiculous 18 points in the extra session for the all-time record.

AE had a stellar game with 44 points on 56% shooting.

Jokic was even better with an outrageous 56/16/15 triple double on 71% shooting, which includes 4/6 from downtown. And he was 22/23 from the foul line.

Epic stuff

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Has Jaylen Brown beaten the fraud allegations this year? Celtics sans Tatum still one of the best teams in the East. And actually fun to watch.

Boston not even in the top 8 on any list? JB yammin on all of ya

Boston not even in the top 8 on any list? JB yammin on all of ya

They’re 9 points better when he’s off the court just like how they’ve had a higher win% over a full season’s worth of games he’s missed.

But yeah I definitely underrated them as a team. D:

You just hate his spray on hair.

Is JB himself doing it? TBH I haven't had the energy to follow during my hiatus. But am more than pleasantly surprised with the season thus far.

The same idiot who has no problem with the presentation of himself as a Harvard genius. I think he certainly doesn’t have an issue with it. Hell he was literally on mic this weekend saying he’s the best two way player in the world verbatim.

@InsuranceMan @TheFifthSet shame Kral isn't here to act scared of the 19-18 Warriors.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Alright JB is starting to whine and yap a lot, y'all have a point.

Do the Lakers need to sit Lebron to win in the playoffs? Have him come off the bench and reduce minutes?

LINEUP COMBINATIONS	OFF RTG	DEF RTG	NET RTG
Doncic-James-Reaves	108.9	118.7	-7.4
Doncic-James, no Reaves	117.5	119.6	-2.1
Doncic-Reaves, no James	124.5	110.3	+14.2
James-Reaves, no Doncic	121.6	124.2	-2.5

 

[onehandbh]

Over the years the NBA has legalized creative footwork like gather steps".

What is this move by Lebron categorized as?

The Thunder ball movement and offense is tough to beat in a full game.
SGA swatted Wemby so hard on a alley hoop attempt!

Many college players among dozens charged in point-shaving plot

A college basketball point-shaving scheme involving more than 39 players on 17 teams resulted in dozens of games in the previous two seasons being fixed by a gambling ring that included a former NBA player, according to a federal indictment.

Celtics could do something if Drederick Tatum ever returns. East is wide open. Pistons are barely keeping Boston at bay without him as it is.
