The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[DJ Fieri]

Played 82 last season. The verdict is still out in my opinion. Playing 82 shows he can handle a full season, he doesn’t have the little nagging stuff that a lot of players never get rid of, yet anyway. He has had 2 very major injuries and those can be just bad luck. We will know a lot more 2 years from now for sure.

You won't admit this.....but that's okay.

It's not a good sign for a young big man like him to have those 2 bad injuries. Not a good sign at all.

Honestly, I wouldn't be worried about either. The foot injury is more of the type that nag big men and he played 82 games after coming back from that. The second was due to a terrible fall; a freak injury.
I don't think either will result in long term issues for him. The foot, to me, is the more concerning as it is the chronic foot, ankle, and knee or backs that usually do in bigs.

I’ve been a fan of the team since they were in Seattle!

I’m not admitting or not admitting anything, it is what it is. 2 years from now if he has played most every game it looks different. Thats called common sense right there.

This is the guy who said AD will be fine and his latest injury was minor

To be fair, when is he ever really healthy

Careful, you'll be called a bitch by the Kiddey booster.

I thought it fit but apologies if you were offended. I’ll ignore your stupidity with the rest of it.

Great. He played 82 games.

Doesn't mean it will not effect him in the future.

Nah he'll manage his injuries like AD. They're just minor anyway.

Just because you may not win a title doesn’t make you not for real/legit. They were trying to use okc losing to Dallas last year as such a bad thing like Dallas didn’t have 2 of the best offensive players in the world. Doesn’t make your season a failure/means your season is a failure if you lose to another really good team. If the Cavs lose to the Knicks in the 2nd round in 6 or 7 games, I wouldn’t consider the Cavs season a failure

 

[msgkings322]

Who said I’m not a Heat fan? I’m allowed to have a rooting interest after the Heat are eliminated in the play in round or first round of the playoffs. Didn’t know that broke any rules to root for another team to bring home a title when your favorite team is out the picture

Good to know though

shopson is extra bitchy today, wonder what's up

 

[thunderc]

Come on man, relative to the league they've been pretty healthy.

They most certainly have not been. Surely you see the value in having their two 7 footers at the same time.

I would have thought stealing Luka would have him happy for a lot longer than this. The phrase “wouldn’t be happy if hung with a new rope” comes to mind.

He's right though. OKC is in the upper half at least for injury luck this year. Bottom half is Dallas, Philly, Memphis, Orlando, etc.

 

[thunderc]

Some great quotes in that one

Of course I see the value, how many seasons do teams make it an entire regular season with their entire starting lineup intact end to end

Oh never? Lol.

I get there has been some definite adjustments at the 5 though.

Philly and injury has nothing to do with luck, its almost as designed.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The moral of this story is we need games to start back

The Lakers play the Hornets tonight I think.

 

[Wamu]

Some of those guys are a pretty big reach though.

Just wondering which are big reaches?

Luka (5x A.S.), J. Murray can hoop it up, SGA (3x A.S.), Kyrie (9x A.S.), Giannis (9x A.S.), Siakam (3x A.S.), Markkanen (1 x A.S. / 22.6 ppg last 3 seasons),

Porzingus (previous 7 seasons 20 ppg this season just under 20), Alpren Sengun (1st time A.S. this season), Franz Wagner (increased scoring average each year in league),

Jokic (7x A.S.), Embiid (7x A.S.), Sabonis- get rid of him, shouldn't have mentioned him, was thinking of his dad

I don't think this team is all that bad. Don't they they'd get blown out.

Maybe Mark Williams will go off
