The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

I didn’t know it was Natalie Sago. It makes sense. She shouldn’t be in the league, let alone college

JBs issue seemed to be moreso with Forte but yea lol.

Which Scal (understandably well past his prime) looks pretty basic lol. Seeing handchecking like that just reminds me how much of a hack that is defensively, low skill, just mugging.

Never will understand why anyone thinks hand checking should be part of basketball.

Very little skill or athleticism required.

Mavs may have to start forfeiting games.

Which clearly means the NBA needs to change the rules.

Ridiculous that they aren’t able to bring up a G leaguer to replace injured players.

Rules should insure teams are putting the best product possible on the court.

Yeah, at the least, they should be able to extend the 2 way guys beyond the maximum number of games in a situation like this where it's legit injuries.

Wild. Never seen a team hit this bad.

This.

Closest I've seen was in 2014 the Lakers started a game with the Cavs with only 8 players. Then, Nick Young and Jordan Farmar left with in game injuries and Chris Kaman fouled out leaving them with 5 eligible players...then Robert Sacre fouled out.

Sacre was allowed to stay in the game, but any more fouls would have been assessed as technical fouls.

 

[trojanfan12]

Looks like the Lakers are getting some guys back.

Luka and Jaxson Hayes are listed as probable...Gabe Vincent and DFS are listed as questionable.

Missed this....a few days ago Oliver Miller died.

May he RIP. Just 54.

Two podcats I've listened to in the last week on social media have stated that the Lakers are keeping quiet the potential fact that James may be out for the rest of the season. Healing of his groin is slow and he is having trouble bending and twisting similar to what AD experienced and carried to Dallas with him. Granted, there can be a lot of BS involved when the podcasters start saying things like: "My sources tell me..."

Whether any of what was leaked is true or not remains to be discovered but if it is true, the Lakers are going to have to get everyone scoring and everyone playing Defense and no taking-off the Third Quarter that the Lakers are accustomed doing.

As a result, the Lakers just might miss the post-season altogether especially with Hachimura, DFS, Doncic, Hayes, Vanderbilt, and Vincent in various states of injury presently existing.

TJ12 just posted it....

Luka and Hayes probable for today's game vs the Suns.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea, I read TJF12's post. Thanks DJ.

I am wondering why an increase in injuries with the Lakers has become prevalent especially when James went down with the appearance of starting an avalanche of injuries. Sort of strange, James goes down and like dominoes, everyone else starts to go down. What the....??

We shall see, bksballer, what is really is true and what the BS is.

Shams doesn’t usually bs so I’m sure what he said is accurate. LeBron was working out earlier today on the court

They just did an update that showed Lebron on ESPN doing some on court work and said that the Lakers plan on being cautious with him. Said it looks like about another week or so depending on how he responds to the on-court workouts.

Easy to keep extending it of course, but I'd be little surprised if they did.

Same thing as is happening with the Mavs...the basketball gods are mad about the Luka trade too.

The Lakers aren't being punished quite as hard because they weren't the team that traded him away.
