The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[trojanfan12]

Thought he retired

Me too. lol

 

[trojanfan12]

I’ve been following this team since their inception. Never seen a season like this one.

Been following the NBA since 1970 and I've never seen a team go through what the Mavs are. lol

Sixers doing a masterful job keeping these guys rested for the playoffs.

Paul George with a sweet 13 minutes last night.

Sixers win again.

 

[trojanfan12]

Nah...just an off night.

That's what I thought too. Spent the whole 4th quarter pulling for the clock because I was sure he was going to start going off any second.

Even more big brained move though?

Just rest during the playoffs.

Lose enough games and get all the rest they need?

I finally got to the bottom of the Jimmy thing and now it all makes sense why those rumors started in December

 

[Retroram52]

Holy Shit...a Vando sighting.

And he played very well on both ends of the court. The Lakers are playing better Defense as well.

 

[Retroram52]

After last night's contest with the W's, the Lakers have plenty of players that they should continue on with the Redick agenda (including Redick, himself) and develop them rather than thinking about a trade for a Center just because James, AD, and the public are crying for one.

Christie, Western Knecht, Kokolo, Jemison, and even Bronny are coming along nicely. Vets like Reaves, Vanderbilt, DFS, Vincent, Hayes, and even Hachimura and Milton are signiciantly contributing on Defense and Offense.

The Lakers get Wood back and they will have all they need to make a decent run at a post-season. Trading away future draft picks and players who are starting to click is an old habit that got them into a mess they are finally coming-out of recently.

The Lakers are very happy to have forward Jarred Vanderbilt back on the court after he was out for nearly a calendar year.

They definitely need to trade wood and other salary, ideally with the seconds for a center

That’s what brow wants as well

 

[Retroram52]

Yea, Q. The Lakers may need to trade Wood, Reddish, and JHS along with maybe a Second Rounder for another Center but if it doesn't happen, they have what they need to be def competitive in the post-season. Maybe Myles Turner is the guy that finally comes to the Lakers. Maybe?

[Retroram52]

Yes Indeed.

Jarred Vanderbilt provides Lakers with much-needed boost in win over Warriors

Jarred Vanderbilt makes a small, but important impact in his season debut as the Lakers also benefit from a big game from Anthony Davis to defeat the Warriors.

The kid is coming along nicely and perhaps in the future, he may be pretty darn good to actually visit the playing roster on a more permanent basis, but we shall see.

Bronny James had his best G League game to date with a season-high 31 points in a win over the Rip City Remix.

So does that mean if you add your age to @Black Adam 's it's about 234?

I'm rooting for the kid. I hope he succeeds.

Oh, eat a dick...I mean, hope you enjoy the games today...

 

[Wamu]

Cavs lose again

Well their season is over.

Should probably consider firing Kenny.

And maybe trade everyone and start all over.

 

[Wamu]

Wow was that waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay outta line. You almost hurt my feelings in the bigliest of wayz.

Just for that I hope the game ends in a tie! Aw shit that can't happen today.

If K.C. loses it's all your fault!

From the nobody gives a shit files cottonmouth has gotten me again.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I didn’t watch the game, so maybe there was a minor injury I am not aware of.

But damn Steve Kerr would be so difficult to play for.

Just no rhyme or reason for his substitutions sometimes.

Curry started off the game fine. But after the first quarter he never got an extended stretch on the court. Would get like 3-4 minutes, sometimes less and get subbed out.

Kerr deserves a lot of credit for setting the culture that built the Warrior dynasty. But he is an awful in game coach. None of his players know what to expect on a nightly basis. Really hard to perform like that.

Agreed.

Yes Kerr has been a bit unpredictable and erratic with some of his decisions lately. Not sure if there’s any rhyme or reason to it other than him trying to maybe overcompensate for their injuries and lack of depth. Sometimes the matchups work out and other times not so much or even at all. It’s a little bizarre that’s for sure.
I’m also unclear about Mike Dunleavy’s approach as the GM…. But we’ll see where it all goes in the coming weeks.

If they make the deal for Kessler it helps now and in the future because he's only 23.

Problem of course is Ainge (so far), is sticking to his high asking price.

For a team that "isn't being aggressive", they and the Jazz are in a stare down over Kessler, and they continue to express interest in Vuc.

Vuc would help now and wouldn't cost them a first rounder...but he has a $20 million contract they'd have to match. But he obviously doesn't help the future.

He has talent. He's not going to be an all-star, but if he's allowed to develop, he should be able to become a serviceable NBA player.

He's quick, fast and can jump out of the gym. Biggest concerns are that he's only 6'2", his offense is pretty inconsistent and the expectations that his name brings.
