NBA 2025-26 Season Thread: THE NY KNICKS ARE CHAMPIONS! BING BONG!
Lettuce NBA!
and lettuce lol @ James Harden
The more I think about it…….
This is going to happen:
1. Knicks will lose in 7 games to the Pistons.
2. Thibs will be fired.
IT IS WRITTEN
A threeway where Bucks get Lauri+filler and dump Dame to Jazz, Spurs get Giannis, Jazz get picks might be interesting to someone.
But the Bucks not controlling any of their own picks until halfway thru Trump’s third term seems insurmountable. Luka not hitting the open market killed their best chance.
JMHO but unless Chet’s been sneaking with SGA’s girl, I don’t think OKC tampers with this whatever happens the next six weeks, and if healthy only Cleveland and healthy Boston have any plausible chance against them 4/7.
Doc rivers is without question the stupidest ****ing idiot who has a ring to his name
Thibs’ ring
Gary Trent going 8-9 from 3 in the final 16 minutes of game time only to drop the ball uncontested to cost the game sure is pretty funny
Im not even a fan of the bucks and I feel pretty piss about it lol …
Wonder what’s worst between the 2 .
Brunson clearly isn’t 100% and keeps getting hurt.
Hart def isn’t 100%.
Detroit Basketball!!!
Welcome 2 Detroit!

People not wanting to mess with what the thunder have going. like what are the details of that soon? SGA + Chet + Williams getting maxes going forward after next year? is that feasible dollar wise? Seems so much better to pool assets and have 2 MEGA ELITE players than having 1 plus 2 secondary stars especially with the new collective bargaining agreement making spending over caps harder/impossible
"There's no question in my mind that there are multiple guys on this roster now who can potentially be the best player on a championship team, given their age," Patrick Fertitta, 30-year-old son of team owner Tilman Fertitta and ownership's day-to-day presence in basketball operations, told ESPN late in the regular season. "You don't see guys at this age be that person yet, but I have a lot of confidence that one of these guys, if not a few of them, can become that.
LOL at this. I guess there is a 5% chance that Amen turns into Kawhi, and that would be good enough, but there is a 0.0% chance that Sengun or Jalen Green can ever be the best player on a championship team.
I'm not as high on OKC as everyone else, their offense looks gross at times just like it did in the playoffs last year.
Although going into playoffs I did think Lakers had the best chance in the West of everyone to beat them, Luka clipped them last year without much help and Lakers looked good against them in the regular season games.
So their road may be easier to get to the finals and win it

I mean what do you want him to say?
We're an offensively challenged regular season team that needs to make a deal for the next big dog who is on the market?

Probably nothing, but yeah, I understand that there isn't always a great answer to every question.

Yeah, but the thing about Luka tho
Murray dropped 43 points on 26 shots, adding three steals, seven assists, and five boards—according to Basketball Reference's holistic game-score stat, his second-best postseason performance ever
jamal confirmed big time back
Murray has the most 40 point playoffs games in biggest history now. He’s a HoFer if they win another chip in Jokers career
No player increases their scoring average more between the regular season and playoffs than he does.
jamal very clearly on #teamlolregularseason
It's all about point differential from the previous year. Cade is +2.7 and Powell is +10.3
Last 10 winners had an average of +7.9 and the lowest was Randle in 2020 at +4.6
Well I was right about PD being a factor, but definitely didn't see Dyson Daniels (who?) winning MIP.
Cade finished +3.4
Powell +7.9
Daniels +8.3
how often would yall say the player is right when calling for a challenge? i swear it's like 10%. most of the time they run the replay the guy completely rakes him, all arm zero ball style. seems bizarre for these guys to be so wrong all the time
