NBA 2025-26 Season Thread: THE NY KNICKS ARE CHAMPIONS! BING BONG!

Ayton looks like a flaming trash heap.

when has he not?

lolkers

Marcus Smart needs to believe he's not washed.

Ayton has to be the worst starter in the entire association.

by far

Was more a reaction to just changing the thread title rather than new season new thread.

So which rookies do we think are gonna come out of the gate hit to start the season?

Flagg, Bailey, and Harper have been the obvious hype. Could Edgecombe be legit? Sleeper candidates?

Will Richards is a seasoned vet and will be a great bench player for the Warriors this year. IMO, the biggest steal of the draft.
I also loved Rasheer Fleming coming out of college. Great value for MEM.
I love DQ but I think the fit in New Orleans is terrible.
Hornets seem to like Liam McNeely as well. Kalkbrenner should also get some solid time at the 5 for the Hornets this year, that's the one position in flux for them.

Kalkbrenner gonna get all the blocks

Rasheer on PHO**

Do you believe in Magic?

Not shocked that skinny Luka was awesome.

Love this time of the year. So much hope around the league.

Mitchell Robinson out today due to load management. Amazing.

Wrll, not ALL around the league...

Ben Saraf will be the best Nets draftee of this year, IMO. I love his play.
VJ Vencombe is a beast.
So is Kon.

Edgecombe is the most athletic player in the class. Reminds me of Ant a little bit.

Klay needs to retire immediately.

You truly hate to see it.

i think more teams will do what Warriors did
let Luka score 40+ and shut down everyone else.

Cooper u suck. go back to Duke.

I agree, but only until Lebron comes back. That's always been the way to defend Luka when he doesn't have a strong supporting cast because of injuries or whatever.

0 pts 0/2 fg. why is he even playing?

Look out dudes, the Hornets beat the likely worst team itl and looked good doing it. 9 players in double figures.

Bucks 1-0! Giannis 37 Points. Queue Shams making up more ****.

Edgecombe 34 in his debut!

Shams has a very punchable face.

Edgecombe is the truth. Cooper is a fraud.
