The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[The Q]

It's funny because the award started out acknowledging non marquee wings type guys like Alvin Robertson and then quickly became an award for bigs.

Aside from Artest (who is still a bigger name than Dort) there hasn't been a wing or guard defender win it that wasn't a big name (Payton and Kawhi)

If he won that would be great, but history not in his favor.

Nor should he

It would be more affirmative action for short people

Like the made for tv gimmick the 3pt line

Okc 8-11 vs Den, Dal, Hou, GSW, and Minny

Okc can likely knock the lakers into the play in territory if they sweep their 2 game set on Sunday and tuesday

Na he’s not winning it but he has to be first team all defense

Or they could lose both and pretty much guarantee the Lakers are on the other side of the bracket with the 3 seed. The Thunder don’t care though, I expect a split.

The biggest thing I get out of that is that the Thunder are 56-2 against 24 teams. Totally unreal.

I expect a thunders sweep since both are in okc and AD isn’t there anymore to cause okc trouble

Interesting. The biggest thing I get out of that is the thunder are in for some long series on their way to the finals

I feel the same about these next 2 as I did last night. If the Thunder can win with just normal effort they will, but if the Lakers have exceptional shooting nights they aren’t going to kill themselves.

Says about every team that ever won one. Just means more good basketball as far as I’m concerned. You have to go into those series for it to matter honestly. 56-2 against 24 teams, thanks for that.

The 2024 Celtics disagree with you

Who the Thunder are 3-1 against the last 2 seasons ooh, good one.

 

[Retroram52]

I don't see anybody stopping the Thunder from a title. Cleveland, the Celtics, maybe Denver and the W's might give them a run for their money but if the Thunder stay healthy, the chances are pretty good the Thunder will win the 2025 Title.

This is their year to stretch their legs imo. But the West is tough!

I’m talking about how easy their playoffs run was last season. 16-3 I believe

I know, would be nice to have a couple easy series for sure
