The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[Shanemansj13]

They are the one team in the west if they are at full strength I think can beat OKC best of 7. They have something on them

I said it from the start

 

[Shanemansj13]

Sixers are 0 and 3 so far with Cavs on deck.

They could be 8 to 9 games back of 10th by the time this stretch is done.

They should just sit him all year and tank it out. But watch them tank and end up 7th and have to give that to OKC lol

Kinda worried tonight. Sixers eager for a win and some guys out again for CLE. I ASSUME Philly is full strength now but that is kinda like a little person (not midget) thinking the growth spurt will kick in eventually

Really just going to ride this out

How does pelinka still have a job

 

[Shanemansj13]

Maybe Dort doesn't know what to do without Luka to stop? Mav should consider sitting Luka if they meet in the playoffs. lol

maybe they should sit all their starters and play some of the g-league guys. That’s what they did last night lol

No win situation for the Celtics

They've won enough lately

MVP

It is still SGA for me for MVP even though Jokic is having his best season (which is crazy).

Makes me think though…

Where does Jokic stand among best offensive players of all time?

Who is better?

Not sure anyone is.

MVP

I watched a Nuggets game the other day and the announcers said Jokic had four straight trip-dubs and didn't play a minute in the 4th quarter.

As far as centers go no player at his position has ever had the court vision he has.

Lebron pressuring him
AD pressuring him
even JJ was nudging him in a recent presser

Rob just pulls out his Disney season pass and ignores it all

 

[Wamu]

This is just insane.

14 of Joker's league leading 20 trip-dubs this season have happened before the 4th quarter.

Last night he had 35 pts, 20 rebs & 17 asts. That was only the 2nd 30/20/15 game in league history. Wilt's was the first in '68.

Anyone see him hit that one-handed 66-footer to close out the 1st half?

He is up there for sure. And yes unless the Thunder fall off a cliff SGA has the MVP

Easily the best offensive center of all-time. I won’t go into the debate including all positions.

Like I said weeks ago, SGA will win it bc of team record. It doesn’t mean he is the real most valuable player. It’s not like we haven’t seen this for decades anyway.

I will say Denver is 12 games over .500 with a ton of injuries and little depth. What Jokic is doing SHOULD win the MVP but team record and seeding matters so much with the award

Yeah, I agree with this

Shai is No 1 in the league in 9 statistical categories. That and the eye test are all that is needed. Voter fatigue will be a factor as well though.

Yeah, Windhorst used to be better than this click bait...

He correctly doesn't want to burn first round picks for players who won't turn them into contenders.

It's funny, every time there are trade proposals for players that can actually turn them into contenders, people say "there are other teams that can easily beat anything they offer" then those same people criticize them for not wanting to use their first round picks when they're unlikely to bring someone who will make them contenders.

A lot of these same folks talk about what their "needs" are, but never about how they're supposed to get them.

Additionally, the last time Pelinka listened to Lebron and AD...they ended up with the Westbrook debacle. Maybe if Lebron and AD didn't push for that...they'd have more assets now to make a trade for a player or 2 that could turn them into real contenders.

Also voter fatigue matters a LOT
