2024-25 NBA Thread: “you’ll never let me down like the team does” sad Heat fan says to giant pile of cocaine (25 Viewers)

Celtics playing like crap tonight. Giving up 17 offensive rebounds and have 18 turnovers. Giving the other team 35 extra possessions is not a formula for success.

Wow, can’t believe they lost. Weren’t they favored by like 15-16 points since everyone on the Hawks was out?

I guess some teams can’t handle the extra spotlight of the greatest tournament in sports.

And finish with 20 turnovers and Hawks have 20 offensive rebounds and Celtics lose by 1 to a Hawks team without Trae Young.

The game winning bucket was an offensive tip in.

My IST bracket in shambles.

I actually don't have a lot of confidence in Boston to care enough to try and win the IST. I had them with 3 wins in the group and then bowing out of the bracket early.
 
Wow. What a collapse by the Pistons. Awful.

Herro is out of his mind tonight.

Not so fast. Crazy ending:

 
Too bad all the losers not on the west coast are missing this awesome game in GS right now. Excellent playoff NBA Cup atmosphere.
 
Watched this morning. Dallas desperately needs to get healthy, Lively and Luka both look slow, still no PJ. Third one possession loss in a row. Love Steph still.

Warriors MVP and noted number one reason they are atop the West, for his incredible shooting and massive upgrade from three over Klay Thompson...somehow was a -21 and 2/8 from range. Klay, who i am reminded cannot shoot, was only 6/12 from deep. :lmao:

Wolves with an absolutely pathetic effort tonight. Probably need to look to package Randle and DiVincenzo with a pick to get star. Maybe KAT is available.

Yeah, I don't fear this version of the Wolves. Randle just isn't it but I really think McDaniels needs to get back to his playoff form if they want to compete.
 
please god tell me every page isn't going to be half posts about Bronny all season. please. i'm begging.
The Los Angeles Lakers have decided that Bronny James will only participate in G League home games, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

"He's only going to play in the South Bay Lakers' home games. He's only going to kind of be a part-time G League player, and he's not getting on United Airlines to fly to these road games," Windhorst said on the Hoop Collective podcast. "I know he's getting somewhat special treatment and nepotism. That's fine. Honestly, I don't care. Like I said, it's normal.

"Now, I think it's actually detrimental to him. I don't like that," the NBA insider added. "I don't know whose idea it was, but obviously, the Lakers are fine with it -- they're doing it. In this particular instance, I think that's gone too far, and I don't think it benefits Bronny. I don't think it benefits the South Bay Lakers, and I don't think it benefits LeBron at this point."

Bronny, the 20-year-old son of LeBron James, made his G League debut last Saturday against the Salt Lake City Stars. He played 31 minutes, scoring six points on 2-of-9 shooting from the field, including 0-for-4 from beyond the arc. The 6-foot-3 guard also contributed three rebounds, four assists, two steals, and a blocked shot.

Related - from Zach Lowe (who is starting to post on Twitter) Dyson Daniels is averaging 3.6 stl/gm. The NBA record is 3.7.

He has 76 deflections on the year. Number two (Caruso and Jokic) is at 44.

I saw a question on /r/NBA that got me thinking - who are some players that fans are going to see the stats for in 20/30/50 years and wonder how they were ever rated so highly? Who are those guys that you just had to watch with your eyes to understand?

The thread that got me thinking about this was comparing Iverson to a more contemporary player. Iverson is 100% that kind of player for me - take away the context of some of his inefficiency (team makeup, league inefficiency, arguably the worst rules era for small guards) and I can see it. You just had to see him to really get it.

I mean Marion and Battier jump to mind but maybe not in the right spirit?

Kyrie may be one. Jrue Holiday another. Draymond perhaps? Just guys without eye popping offense and generally excellent defense and always seem to be winning is where my mind went right away. But then the Kyrie take is more like Iverson - he doesn't like lead the league in stuff really but damn when he is in the game all the way and wants to win and pushes hard hes incredible.

Rudy Gobert comes to mind

I don't think fans in the future will understand how Iguadola is the only player to trust when the Martian death ray was pointed at us.

I know I've posted my disdain for Jabari Smith before but just heard a stat that on open 3s he's the worst shooter in the NBA at 15%. Shooting was supposedly his strong point but I haven't seen ANY improvement since he's entered the league. Udoka really needs to let the better player start (Tari) and if it wouldn't crush his trade value I'd be open to sending him to the G-League to join Cam. He's that bad :kicksrock:

 
Franz Wagner is that dude. Orlando is still a very good regular season team.

Also, really impressed with Lonzo Ball. I think he and I get about the same height on our jumps.
 
With a minute left in the first Q, Giannis has 20 of MIL’s 22 points. Lol.

ETA: 27-24 Pistons at the end of one. Giannis has 22.
At what point does Milwaukee consider trading him for a super-charged return for their inevitable rebuild?

He'll be 30 next month and they ****ing suck with no real hope on the horizon (Dame is 34- making 48.7 mil this year/54 mil next year/58.5 the next year, Middleton is 33 and semi dead- making 31.6 this year/34 next, Brook Lopez is 36 and unsigned for next year). They haven't developed a home-grown player under Giannis since... ever?

I suppose they can just play this season out and he'll still retain his value, but man.

He's no KCP, that's for sure.

Not before mid-January when the whole league is eligible to be traded. I could see them getting the best return possible this season on Lopez but shopping Dame and Gianni's this off-season.
 
Also, fwiw, they developed Middleton and Brogdon with Giannis. I would also argue they developed Lopez as well - he's a completely different player offensively and defensively than he was with LA. Overall, fair point though.
Yeah I suppose Middleton counts, wasn't really considering him since they didn't draft him but they did acquire him right after his rookie year.
 
Speaking of fantasy basketball, for those in dynasty leagues, Jared McCain has been a MF STEAL! 34pts 10 Assists.....not bad for the 16th pick in the draft.
