NBA 2025-26 Season Thread: THE NY KNICKS ARE CHAMPIONS! BING BONG!
Lettuce NBA!
and lettuce lol @ James Harden
76ers such an unpredictable team. 3 of their starters only played about half the season. If George and Embid play up to their capabilities they really aren't a 45-37 type team.
thought Celts clearly had the better run of play in the 4th, embiid was dead, philly had some awful possessions and the zone really messed them up
they just couldn't cash in any of those open 3 looks
then maxey was like wait this is embiid and pandemic P? umm i better take this **** over and he did
Orlando just needs to get by Stinktroit and they should be gigantic favorites to win the east
Started listening to Colin Cowherd again recently. He had the Sixers done and the Lakers making history wseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeo0099999999999999999999999999999Q
If the NBA first round was actually like this every year, I'd be far more inclined to tune in, but I feel like it's an aberration.
Orlando could win the East, but I don't see how any of these teams beat the Spurs or Thunder.

Don't get me started on Dort.
Most of them foul pretty much every play. And the insane thing is, SGA fouls baits, and then gets calls. Fk, if you're going to give them calls on one end and then not call on the other, how is any team supposed to legit compete w/ that?
I just don't get what the league is doing right now.
its a complete joke thats what it is, i want spurs to beat okc so bad and not just because it'd be a monetary windfall for me

Some Embiid redemption here. Worst contract in the league delivered (still probably worst contract in the league though, but daylight no longer second).
Anyone who thinks Jaylen was the main problem for the Celtics last night didn't watch the game. It's as simple as that.
The Celtics lost because Queta is a foul machine and Garza and Vucevic simply cannot be on the floor at the same time as Embiid. There were non-trivial stretches last night where the Celtics were asking Jaylen to be the primary defender on Embiid. That isn't plausible and it led to exactly what you expect--Embiid shooting over Jaylen when the Celtics didn't double and open 3s when they did.
Queta improved a ton this, but his lack of discipline on the defensive end was hugely problematic. At least three of his fouls were unproductive and stupid.
No. The only East team I'm cheering for is Detoilet, and that's saying a lot. Cavs a close second. Hope OKC or SA smacks this conference up regardless.
Only the cool ones.
I'd piss in the Cleveland River but it might catch fire.
It's practically a nuclear wasteland come to life.
Trash ass city.
Damn BI still out.
Ah well these Cleveland players ain't shyte. Donovan Mitchell is 6'1 and Evan Mobley still doesn't understand offense.
HARDEN WILL CHOKE ON IT AGAIN
Nobody. They are the craptors. 0 chance they win.
Yeah it's over. Raptors don't have what it takes for a comeback last this.
We would have won if Quickley wasn't injured so good thing we are paying him 35 mil a year to cheerlead on the sidelines.
I think my favorite stat on the list is that 49% FTs was a big outlier in terms of FT success for him.
