The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

It depends who he has around him. On a great defensive team like the Thunder his weaknesses really stood out.

Positive on/off last year which for a good to great team is important.

Not off to a great start in that aspect this year though

I get that he was "hunted" some in big games because OKC didn't have another "weak" link.

Bronny gets his first bucket in the city he was born and grew up his early years

Good for him. Now he can go to the G-League to develop and everyone can stfu about him. lol

It was the greatest event in NBA history

Totally overshadowed the Dodgers winning the World Series.

Come on man, don’t be discounting the fact that we still only have one in season tourney champion.

Lakers were 28/33 from the free throw line--- the Cavs 5 of 8 and the Cavs win by 24.....dont see that every day.

Well, do you expect fouls on wide open shots?

How many more posts can you have complaining about a blowout victory? Talk about victim mentality...

How much of that is minutes coinciding with Buddy Heild?

Just waiting for that league to get going. First game is still a week out I believe?

True. I think that the Lakers having a game in Cleveland probably has a lot to with why he's on the trip too. Otherwise, he's probably already in the G-League to get some practice time in.

Sure, and he was able to get his first points there. If it was to happen on a road game, good spot.

Reminds me of the 2006 Finals and Mavs fans (with a few exceptions) complaining about Wade getting more FT’s than the Mavs team save Dirk. Local Talk show host noted perfectly...

"Refs don’t call fouls from where the Mavs are shooting”.

He was right.

Cavs are definitely looking good but to be fair guessing Lebron and some others were not taking the game as seriously. Good to see Lebron at 40 still thinks he has never made a mistake. Can throw a ball right out of bounds near no one and glare at the guy he threw it to.

The Lakers are one of the few post oriented teams left...of course they're going to have more FTA's than most...especially on a night where they apparently decided not to play any defense.

It’s nice to have a coach that isn’t a complete dipshit.

He couldn’t even figure out you can’t play Mobley and Allen together all game long lol

He didn't play Mobley and Allen all game long and staggered them like the current coach.

Serious question as to why the angst toward JB? Nothing special but the team improved every year with him.

Beating Lebron for the Cavs likely holds more cache than the Lebron beating the Cavs, especially in week 2.

There was some report that Lebron was under the weather the last game, don't know if that carries over to last night's game. I didn't see anything other than the box score and haven't felt the urge to read up any further lol. I do know JJ was pissed at the lack of effort.

You could definitely tell the Cavs cared more and that could be expected since their best players are younger, with a new coach and in a new system.

A good point but sometimes laziness leads to fouls. Did see some questionable calls on the Cavs but more annoying to me was lack of calls on LA.

But whatever.....didn't matter.

Giannis should come to Philly.

He can be our MVP until the true MVP comes back.
