The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

Luckily for you, I think they will get there.

Hope you are right. If a team is able to beat them in 4 without some Thunder injuries it will be a major accomplishment. The numbers cut both ways.

You think? I’d be interested in what you think could do them in because right now resistance seems futile. I agree it’s a problem if they don’t, very few have things fall into place like this team has.

I thought you weren't trying to jinx them?

 

[thunderc]

Just stay up and crash hard the next day.

I’ve tried that, it seems the more you sleep the worse it gets. They say it takes a day per time zone you jump. I’m almost 4 days in so hopefully I’m getting close. Bringing back a stomach bug hasn’t helped.

I thought you weren't trying to jinx them?

Definitely not, but I like hearing what some people think.

 

[shopson67]

....but he's worth two unprotected firsts in trade!

 

[trojanfan12]

Yeah I wasn’t talking in terms of dynasty, I’m talking about one season only. A title added to the massive regular season accomplishments would be huge. But there isn’t much without the title.

If they don't win the title, they basically become the 73 win Warriors who no one talks about.

Having said that, the "caveat" they will have would be their relative inexperience. Especially if the loss is to more experienced team like the C's or the Lakers.

Well obviously they will be the favorite next season, but you can’t let chances like this pass you by.

Am I the only one paying attention to what Deni Avdija is doing for over a month now?

 

[bksballer89]

Steph going off

No, you aren’t

Steph going off

8 3s in the first half. The record for a game is 14 (held by Klay not Steph)...Steph has had 13 before so maybe he gets the record tonight

 

[bksballer89]

No, you aren’t

Wiz gave up a damn good player. What did they get in return?

 

[trojanfan12]

No doubt. They're the favorites this season.

Even if the old man tricks of a more experienced team get them, unless something huge happens (some team makes a massive trade and/or FA signing or a season ending injury to SGA, they'll likely be bigger favorites next year because they'll know the old man tricks now.

But yeah, they definitely don't want to let the opportunity pass them by because being young and really good doesn't guarantee a thing. Any number of things can happen between now and next years playoffs.

Don’t be surprised if Memphis misses the playoffs

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wow..Steph went off in Memphis. 52-10-8.
16 for 31 FG...12 for 20 3PT....8 for 8 FT
Dubs win 134-125

Allowing 134 when your opponent shoots under 43% doesn’t make any sense to me

If the other team has a guy go 12 for 20 on 3s maybe lol

Good win, not sure it matters, the West is OKC's world and the other teams just live there.

 

[msgkings322]

That said, let's go Denver!

 

[msgkings322]

Curry now has more 50 point games after the age of 35 than any player ever

He also just passed Kareem for most 40 point games in their careers
