The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[Pastafazul]

Nah.

Says you based on your experience playing minor league baseball in the 70s

Get out of here.

70’s. WTF

Ya can’t even get that right

This loser should be suspended multiple games at this point

The Knicks just took care of the Nugglies 122-112 at MSG.

I did not watch the game.

But what Mike Malone did tonight (and many coaches do this) is just incredibly stupid.

Jokic picked up 2 fouls 2 minutes into the game.

Malone left him on the bench until 4.5 minutes left in the first half.

Just so dumb. One of the long time coaching strategies that just prevents your guy from impacting the game.

2 fouls? So what.

You got 46 minutes to avoid picking up 4 more. Trust your player to be smart and keep him in.

feels good to go into Miami with a bunch of guys out of the lineup and put it on them.

Guess I can’t blame Malone for tonight’s loss…

Nuggets a respectable 27-24 in bench points.

What?

You think bench points is all that matters in coaching?

Bench points don’t matter.

You just need more points than the other team at the end of the game.

Benching Jokic for 17 minutes in the first half because he picked up 2 fouls is preposterously stupid.

That is actually something you can be mad at him for. Not bench scoring.

Warriors are inexplicably competitive tonight vs OKC

 

[msgkings322]

Crazy win and really fun. Exciting finish. SGA balled out too

Incorporating the reserves with the starters... Yeah, that's kind of on the head coach. Not sure exactly what you were taught.

Finch got thrown out tonight from the same building he blew out his knee in last year's playoffs...

Soon as Conley and Edwards held him back he should have just walked out and not risk it happening again.

Meh...I was okay with coach Malone's decision there.
Especially considering Joker ended up with only 1 more PF the rest of the way for a grand total of 3 in the game.
