The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[thunderc]

Shocking result to wake up to

We will all survive

Butler gets to the line a ton and without doing weird stuff like Brunson or Trae. Not super fun to watch but efficient, and he is a really smart playmaker, always makes good decisions

Now that I see him every game I really appreciate that guy's game. First ballot HOFer even without a ring


Warriors in a dogfight, must win game on a back to back...

Yep that’s the thing I always said about Jimmy. He’s not a flopper and plays through contact so o don’t have issues with players like him getting to the line a lot

 

[shopson67]

Yeah but you saw it right? It is completely understandable that the ref thought the cursing was aimed at him. And once they make that call, they arent going to overturn it based on the "Wasnt aimed at you" defense. Because that is the defense given half the time anyways.

....and the league rescinds the tech the next day.

But Nico...

Executive of the year!

 

[thunderc]

Executive of the year!

It’s a lot more than a year for Laker fans

 

[dtgold88]

Same thing for CLE. If they want to advance far it is going to depend on Garland and Mobley. We know the stars are going to perform…the 2nd or 3rd options need to step up.

If by star you mean Mitchell not sure how we know that he will perform (obviously hope he does) as he has had many a disappointing performance in playoffs going back to his time in Utah.

and of course could use Mobley and DG playing as capable among others.

50 piece for Luka and a playoff spot secured for the Lakers tonight!

HOLY SEEDING DISASTER

Harrison Barnes just hit a 3 in a tie game with a buzzer beater lol

FML

Works for me!!

It’s time to project some 1st round matchups. Let’s hear it.

 

[eaglesnut]

We don't know if nothing happens to the ref...as @tlance has pointed out multiple times...the refs are graded on every game. If they grade poorly, they don't get "perks" like getting to work the playoffs. If they grade poorly often enough...they lose their jobs.

If they do get punishment beyond that...we won't ever know, nor should we.

Yes, we should.

It’s time to project some 1st round matchups. Let’s hear it.

I'll just do first round in the West:

(1) OKC vs. (8) Dallas - OKC in 5
(2) Houston vs. (7) Memphis - Houston in 6
(3) Lakers vs. (6) Clippers - Lakers in 6
(4) Denver vs. (5) Warriors - Warriors in 5

Of course this could all change. Only the top 3 seeds are pretty much set.

 

[dtgold88]

Yes, we should.

Well be sure to send a strongly worded letter to the NBA offices and make your request telling them you are entitled to answers.

Lol let them try to pay 60 million dollar a year contracts without the fans...

...without the sponsors who are only there because of the fans...

...without the advertisers who are only there because of the fans...

But we already know this is why they covered up their refs gambling on games instead of presenting a truthful reality to their customers. When your billions are built on a house of cards you get quite paranoid at the slightest perceived threat.

definitely......your personal angst could send the league in a downward spiral.

Tell them "I want answers.....I want the truth.!!!" and you think you are entitled.

They'd have to dig him up first....

I mean, you are the one who is demanding answers and thinks Stern is committing fraud?

You calling anyone retarded like Augustus Gloop telling a kid he's obese.

Stern was one of the best commissioners in the history of sports and some think he is still screwing up after death. You can’t make this stuff up lol.
