The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[thunderc]

For all you stats lovers, you know who you are. There is actually a stat for non charging offensive fouls drawn. Lu Dort has led the league for years but last year he took it to extremes. He drew 83 such fouls. Next was Brunson with 48 then KJP with 41. Now the Thunder have added another of the best wing defenders in the league in Caruso. People like to talk offense, but the defense is going to be extreme.

Other than a championship, what would you class as a success for this season?

Top 6 seed to avoid play-in. 2nd round of playoffs. At least give us a sweat.

Oh, then you are going to be sorely disappointed. It's time to admit that GSW have had a great run and start the rebuild by bottoming out. There are few cases of enjoying continued success just reloading.

Dear Clippers,
I hope the new arena is dope because that new logo should be dragged out into the wood burned and buried. Who would buy anything to sport that monstrosity?

I do guess it’s appropriate though; it looks like a ship in the crosshairs just waiting for something to torpedo the season.

Direct Hit! You've sunk our season!

That may be so but I don't think they want to go full teardown until Steph is ready to retire. Which may not be all that much longer.

All one @Mecca of the “B” Team

Not ready to say they're the second best team in the EC just yet but I do like their roster and looking forward to seeing them with the new HC.

Top 5 deepest teams in the league

There were 9 teams I debated putting on this list, some hard decisions but I believe these are the 5 deepest teams to start the season.
(Injuries will matter when considering decisions).
Other 4 teams not listed: Boston, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver

OKC Thunder - they are deep and young. Adding Caruso and Kenrich gives them a 10/11 deep roster.



Milwaukee Bucks - I thought MIL did a great job in the offseason. They got Trent and Prince on great salaries that added shooting and some defense. Is this the year they get back to the ECF's? I don't buy it but I love their depth.



Minnesota Timberwolves - I am not a big fan of Randle but I think in some shape or form Towns had to go and Donte is a great pickup. This team is deep and they got a lot of young talent too.


Indiana Pacers - This team is far from a top roster but what they don't lack is depth. They made a great run last year and I don't expect it to continue. Certainly wouldn't surprise me but they also got some luck. Great season and the depth is real.



Miami Heat - I had a tough time choosing between Miami, Dallas and Denver but I think Miami is a team that can survive lots of injuries. They can go 13/14 deep. Goes all the lines of an upgraded roster of Indiana. They might not be a top 3-4 roster but they certainly have a shot to make a lot of noise in the East.

Not only are the Thunder very deep but they are deep with guys that play the same way. This is going to be fun to watch.

He’s not saying anything people don’t know. No names are needed. Maybe he gets hurt and ends up getting laughed at by those guys but they know who they are.
