The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[shopson67]

Sure, 1 game vs a team that somebody on here called a scary team recently....

LOL.

That 9 game winning streak came vs the Sixers, Hornets x2, Blazers x2, Pelicans x2, Suns and Magic. Even the best team of the bunch (the Magic) is currently under .500.

Proof the Sixers FO reads this thread

They should've read it a month or more ago when this was first suggested. Shut him down and tanki.

 

[shopson67]

they should be playing him 49 minutes per game….

That's enough out of you Thibs...

Fantastic game last night in Minny

Yep I was trying to go to bed early but that game didn’t allow me to. I think okc/minny is a fun competitive 5 game series

 

[shopson67]

That’s not better, just miss the playoffs with the 7th worse record and don’t get lucky in the lottery.

Sure, would give the Thunder a reason to not keep one of their guys due an extension. Just continue to turn over the roster by letting guys walk and trading away assets for more draft picks. They don't need SGA, they need those 5 draft picks more!

The Thunder are not drafting with that pick, but moving it will keep the war chest full

Clean slate but same weaknesses. I get it but if they meet Boston in the 2nd round I highly doubt they can beat Boston 4 out of 7 AND Boston gets homecourt

...and it's not a clean slate when your 5 starters lead the league in minutes played.

I see Trae is growing the pubes for facial hair too

He needs to go full Charlie Villanueva and get it over with.

Just like with New York, the Timberwolves are a better team when randle is injured.

Randle still thinkin he’s Bronjordan?

 

[shopson67]

What makes you think that can’t happen?

If one of those teams was projected to get an injury, you don't think it would be the guys playing too many minutes nightly?

 

[shopson67]

Mitchell was on top of Bane and Bane didn't like that....

LOL

 

[shopson67]

Is it possible to forget how to coach?

...or is it possible the Heat are trying to tank?

 

[shopson67]

In a game that is usually decided by runs, he is the ultimate run stopper. He has zero court awareness, zero basketball IQ, and zero instinct. He never feeds the hot hand, decides what he's gonna do ahead of time and never adjusts, and just kinda is there. He gets some shots and rebounds, but just generally makes the team around him worse.

Badly needs a strong-handed coach, but that probably won't happen until he gets dumped/bought out at some point and he becomes a reclamation project. Needs to be taken down a few pegs before he'll restructure his game IMO.

Stop with that

Thibs plays his star players the same as other coaches do

The Knicks are not a deep team


A coaches job is to give his team the best chance of winning

And, players today manage themselves

Turn the page with thibs burns his players out

Thibs is more the problem with the fact he’s a one dimensional coach.

 

[shopson67]

No one is a “contender” like the top 3 (OKC Cleveland Boston) though. Does Denver make 4?

Denver isn't beating good teams, not a good sign.

 

[shopson67]

And the current record has more to do with Paul George's injuries than Embiid.

Yeah, it's the guy that has played twice as many games, not Embiid lol.

I'll turn the page as soon as it doesn't hurt the Knicks again for 3 years consecutive under Thibs. The Knicks made it worse by trading thier depth to upgrade their starters in two big trades this past summer. It's not just a problem, it's their intention.

What are the odds they have all 5 of their starters available for their entire playoff run?

Knicks own Denver

To be fair, similar to when the Lakers brought in Westbrook, the idea was for him to be paired with Maxey so the Sixers could at least tread water while Embiid is out.

Unfortunately for them, much like Westbrook to the Lakers, for whatever reason, it hasn't worked out that way.
