The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[DJ Fieri]

Hoping for the best for D-Wade.

Ahhh he got 2 early foul calls , how’s that on coach?

Ever think the coach might of thought he was doggin it and sent him, the team a message?

Exactly what I said.

Benching him until 4 minutes left in the half is an incredibly conservative and stupid reaction to the 2 fouls.

Jokic is not a guy who regularly lives in foul trouble. Trust him.

He has no chance to impact the game on the bench.

Dude, I’m a player not a student!

You’re so fundamental …

I get it, he’s an MVP player, the team is better with him on the court , no shitt Sherlock.

And to what you continue to complain about , the coach, Doesn’t this support what I have been saying all along about that they’re not enough good minds in the game?

Hoping for the best for D-Wade.

Oh damn. Wasn't sure what you meant. I agree with you.

 

[Shanemansj13]

will say IF they can keep pace with the Bulls and somehow sneak in at 10 to play in AND be fully healthy......?

If Embiid is fully healthy...the world is coming to an end

Dude, I’m a player

 

[Pastafazul]

If Embiid is fully healthy...the world is coming to an end

2 forms of health

Physical & Mental

Don’t think that dude will ever have both at same time

I don’t know about that.

Every coach has strengths and weaknesses.

Being over conservative with early foul trouble is an old school idea. But it does nothing but limit the ability for your star to impact the game.

Because more often than not, your guy can get through his normal minutes without picking up the 3-4 more fouls required to foul out.

So why limit your stud so early in the game?

right.....you CHOOSE to limit him in order to maybe not be forced to later?

Which is a better description of pasta...




or Dr. Detroit?

Yeah, benching a guy after 2 quick fouls early in the game seems like an overreaction. Even if he has to be careful defensively, what you get from him on offense would make up for it.

Maaaaybe if it's a young guy or a player who is prone to foul trouble...but definitely not someone like Joker. He knows how to play through any foul trouble.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I don't feel like going back to check...but did this story slip through the cracks in here w/o mention or feedback?

Silver floats idea of 10-minute NBA quarters

NBA commissioner Adam Silver told Dan Patrick on Wednesday that he likes the idea of shortening games to 40 minutes by going from 12-minute quarters to 10.

Ftr: I'be be all for it...but I'd much rather see the elimination of b2b games.

Jokic played 33 minutes vs Westbrooks 37 which was the most minutes played for nuggets.

Plenty of time to have an positive impact

They lost, Knicks were the better team , it’s that simple .

Well I thought Malone's strategy on that actually played out very nicely...tyvm.

 

[msgkings322]

Not the playoffs or championships.
Not even playoff seeding.
If beating the Lakers in the regular season is your measuring stick you may be aiming a little low.

On the contrary, that's the only level they can aim at

East Reserves: Jaylen Brown, Pascal Siakam, Darius Garland, Cade Cunningham, Evan Mobley, Damian Lillard, Tyler Herro.

No Trae, Jalen Johnson, Bam, Lamelo, Maxey

West Reserves: Victor Wembanyama, Anthony Davis, Anthony Edwards, Jalen Williams, James Harden, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Alperen Sengun.

No Sabonis, Fox, Booker, Kyrie, Jalen Green, Norm Powell


Just a brutal year picking reserves. So tough with a lot of worthy guys left off. Happy for Herro, Mobley, Jalen Williams as they are really deserving but thought they may get left off. If I had to make changes, I'd leave Garland off and put in Trae. And then I'd leave JJJ off and put in Sabonis but I figure they needed to have a Memphis player on the team and Ja has missed too many games

Garland has been the best player on the Cavs this year. That can be argued but watching the games, he has been the most consistent. Basically 50, 40, 90. Trae is barely shooting 40% from the field.

Like I said, really tough. With the Cavs already having two guys, I'd leave him off. Trae is leading the league in assists.

Terry Rozier being investigated for betting on games.
