The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[dtgold88]

Have to think this is a different game with Chet coming from off the ball against Allen. Really good game though.

Yeah that's fair. How it is in the NBA as you know with guys out and ironically might have been the first time we have been this healthy.

Well....missing Merrill but that's it.

 

[dtgold88]

I miss him

Guy does seem like he's mad at the world at times in interviews and would love to see him lighten up......but if this is what makes him who he is then so be it.

 

[dtgold88]

Mitchell been in a shooting slump for the last couple games. He needs to break out of it

Agreed.......but what I loved in watching the post game interviews was way he was talking would not have known he had a bad game (at least shooting). Genuinely just seemed like W was all that mattered and was thrilled for the many who did play well and picked him up.

Love this group.

i’m watching the Cavs lol

I watched ESPN....have always liked RJ. Don't care for Burke much as an analyst.

 

[dtgold88]

Mitchell 3/16 and they somehow pull out the win. It just shows how KA has installed team ball. They don’t need Mitchell to score 30 to win

I mean, love how they look but beat Denver, Dallas, MN, the Cs and Philly (with Embiid) without DM last season.

Will say cannot see us going on a roll this year (like last) if we had to go a long stretch without Mobley and Garland.....can argue they might be our 2 best so far this season.

 

[dtgold88]

I bet against the spread both over and under +200 for each. Couldn’t decide but figured it would either be a lot more or a lot less.

Also got Dean Wade for +1500 for making the first shot. He always takes the first shot the last few games.

Ended up still losing because Mitchel was such a scrub tonight and couldn’t get 20 points. Ruined 3 parlays.

I just needed one more rebound from Hartenstein (and didn't have one for a while at end).

 

[dtgold88]

The Cavs are not going to lose many games when Allen and Mobley combine for 46 points IMO.

and 13 assists.

 

[Shanemansj13]

That was awful. It didn't look like Zubac attempted to box out

 

[Shanemansj13]

I miss him

 

[dtgold88]

Pfft.

Lakers were down by 5 and lost by 21.

So ther...

Nevermind

so you've got that going for you?

I watch on Fanduel Ohio anytime I can. Some of those announcers are fine on ESPN and TNT but not a fan of Burke either. Knowledgeable, yes...exciting, no.

 

[dtgold88]

looks like he didnt want to have Ice break the Ice too much in this game. He is prob our guy we put on the best offensive player at times....Wade has really stepped up defensively too. Strus looking scrappy too.

Yeah...have to think on a minute restriction.

My guess is at full strength Merrill may lose some minutes.

Was curious what a national crew would say and also FD not available (until postgame). I do like our announcers a lot when it's Daugherty.

Sadly for some reason I see Boston repping the East again this year.

We can all probably agree that the Knicks will implode at some point, so it isn't likely to be them.

 

[dtgold88]

Right…

But 4 teams with really 2 head and shoulders above the rest really isn’t brutal.

That is actually not all that strong IMO.

Happen to agree with DJ East pretty tough at the top. I guess maybe brutal could be seen as a stretch.

 

[shopson67]

No

He’s such a bad defender he shouldn’t be untouchable

But his salary will make it hard to make a deal

Not untouchable, but it would need to be a trade for someone at his position that is a considerable upgrade (Fox for example might be that line). When his next contract is imminent, things will change for sure.

 

[shopson67]

I’m running unlike you couch potatoes

I run all the time.

....to the fridge, to the bathroom, etc.

Some are getting excited that this means Chet is coming back soon. I am wondering if it means he still can’t tie his shoes. Won’t even mention the color of the shoes.

So, Jimmy is apparently retiring after next season.

Tough at the top no doubt.

But if we are comparing?

I think potential 1st round opponents for 1 and 2 seeds out west are potentially just as dangerous as potential second round matchups for the 1 seed in the East.

Now, OKC does not have a challenger on their level (yet) as it seems Cleveland and Boston do because they have each other.
