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

I think the NY market is capping how high their odds will get. The lookahead markets are still value to the Thunder

I don't even know if he was referring to a sportsbook but Reggie said emphatically that Knicks would be the favorites in the finals regardless of who wins the WCF.

He must not be on kalshi like Giannis and Kyle Kuzma

Thanks guys. ♥

Job isnt done yet!!!!

if i'm the wiz, nobody would beat me
but
im trading #1 pick to utah for #2 and ace bailey

That would be horrible. AJ is a 1/4” taller than Booz with shorter arms, a much worse shooter, and is 34lbs lighter. Booz supposedly beat Wilson in the combine agility drills, though obviously his vertical is an issue.

But Danny’s not trading Ace regardless. The tea leaves I’m seeing is they’re going to take Crampy and I’m coming around on it. But AJ on the Jazz without Ace lol who are the playmakers? But obviously the owner is in love so we’ll see.

You sad bro? You want SA v NY? How bad u want it?

Terrible look for the NBA when these mistakes keep happening and then the foretold “rigged” outcome keeps happening.

Has anyone bothered to explain why the NBA would want to rig the playoffs in favor of the Thunder?

I’m not claiming it’s actually rigged, just that they keep making mistakes that feeds into the NBA is rigged narrative.

I understand. I was asking whether the proponents had ever explained why the NBA would want to rig the league in favor of OKC.

NBA needs dynasties to sell its product would be the explanation. Not a coincidence that interest has waned during the longest period of parity we’ve ever experienced in NBA history.

It actually is a coincidence

5 moves to make the Lakers true title contenders next year:

Move 1: Walker Kessler
Move 2: Peyton Watson
Move 3: Quentin Grimes
Move 4: Mitchell Robinson
Move 5: LeBron James 2 YR $15M a year discount because if this team is built around him and luka he'll be really happy, and i really think he wants to continue to live in L.A.

Yeah. I'm a hard pass on that explanation, especially when the "dynasty" is emerging in the smallest market in the NBA.

Yesterday was fine reffing wise imo, except the two worst blown calls happened right when Spurs cut it to 8 and totally killed their momentum. Goal tend was so obvious too. The out of bounds, Spurs tried to game the challenge rule to save a TO and got screwed.

anyone see that clip of Wemby telling Plumdog and the Biyombo bomb to touch McCain up?

he was salty about being owned by a tiktoker

I thought last night was the worst officiated game that I can recall all playoffs. Probably some of thinking that is because it was such a massive game compared to like some East 1st rd series but it was pretty bad. And I'm not a refs this refs that guy at all.

Not that Thunder didn't deserve to win or anything.

How can we possibly know what he said?

It's not as if Biyombo or Plumlee is incapable of deciding on their own to commit hard fouls.
