***Official 2024-2025 NBA Thread***
Season starts tonight with Knicks and Celtics followed by Lakers and TWolves.
Will history be made early in the 2nd game? |
It’s football season.
Who cares about this crap |

The question isn’t if Lebron is the GOAT. The question is how much distance he adds between himself and second place this year.

I remember he had some falling out with Shannon Sharpe then tried to start up another one of those hot take machine shows with other grifters like Richard Sherman but afaik that flamed out spectacularly too.

They shouldn’t be starting the season this early. Move it to Christmas time.

I have seen enough the Knicks aren’t beating the Celtics in a 7 game series. You can’t trust The 76ers so who else can? Honestly haven’t paid much attention during the offseason

Hoping for a much healthier season. Excited to see what Ja and Edey can do with some nice pick and rolls this season. Just hoping Edey doesn’t get shredded defensively! |
End of the Celtics game was hilarious.
Tie the 3 point record with like 10 minutes to go. Clank every attempt after that. |
National Blowout Association is so back baby.
|
Knew it was going to take time for the Wolves to play with this new lineup, but Christ, just because you traded KAT doesn't mean you stand around holding your dicks when trying to get a rebound
|
Also I thought DiVincenzo was some 3 point ace? Lord he's had two airball shots already
|
History.

It will be hilarious if the lakers lose by 1 and can point to the bizarre idea of letting Bronny take 2 shots with the game far from over

Man.
Lakers bench is rooouuuugh. And James still has some juice, but this is so completely Anthony Davis' squad at this point that it's a little bit terrifying. Because he's no sort of iron man and is going to take about 15% of the games he does play off in any given season. And now they're getting just whupped on the glass. I think they'll finish above .500. Maybe challenge 48 wins on the high side. But this team ain't very good. |
Truthfully, I'm hard pressed to name anyone (apart from Davis) that's actually played well tonight for LA. Rui has been solid, I guess. Hayes has been good, especially as a rotational big.
But Russell is doing that "shoot them out of the game" shit. Reaves doing his best to aid him in that endeavor. Lebron's offense has been pretty inefficient (though his downhill game still looks pretty good). His defense has been...Lebron. I like what I've seen from Knecht but he's a rotation player at best. Even with the lead, this team's giving me more questions than answers right now. Looks better coached than last year's version but I really felt like they needed Vincent to be a fairly significant contributor to have much success and they don't seem to be using him much. |
Even when Edwards misses, he impresses the hell out of me.
|
Quote:
|
There’s also no way a 40 year old can continue to average 35 minutes a game so that will inevitably need to be cut down too. They don’t have the bench to really handle that.
|
Feels like Davis and Edwards are about to make this a 1v1 showdown over the last 5 minutes.
I've said it a lot, but the Lakers cannot lose ANY games where Davis plays like this. He has maybe 35-40 games/season where he decides "Yeah, I'm just gonna be the best player in the world tonight. See if you can stop me..." Gotta win all of 'em. Because when he's not, you aren't winning many. |
Quote:
They'll try to make those lower use minutes where they can by going through Rui a bit more when the starters are out there as well. Oh neat. My feed died. So that's cool. |
{and p.s. the Lakers have been better with James on the bench than they've been with him in the lineup tonight anyway)

AD is singlehandedly winning this
|
Sweet Jesus, Anthony Davis.
This is a goddamn clinic. You really can't play any better than he's played since he checked back into this game. This is unbelievable. |
Randle just feels like an awful fit for this team.
|
Quote:
But honestly, he's an awful fit on ANY team with designs on winning anything. There are just too many things he doesn't do well and the things he's good at, he's by no means great at. I do like DiVincenzo for them, though. So, that's good I guess. |
"What did you say to Bronny before the game?"
"To understand that this isn't given to you and you'll have to earn it every single day..." Honestly, I'm impressed as hell he managed to keep a straight face when he said that. Dude should ****ing run for President with that kind of ability to shamelessly lie. |
Quote:
Still waiting for the day where somebody prominent actually tells the truth about what Bronny is and I expect we will keep waiting all season long. |

Vince holds the record for another game. |

It's not even really gaslighting. Not a single person thinks they're convincing anyone of it. It's like talking about Santa Clause around adults because there are children in the room. Nobody believes it, but everyone just kinda gets through it for the sake of the kids. |
I will never not laugh at Shaq holding a microphone.
Can you just make him an oversized one so he doesn't look like he's holding a children's toy up there? |

OKC is so much fun to watch. Incredible defense and depth. Once they get healthy and start hitting shots, they're going to be lethal.
|
NBA is unwatchable.
|
Still not in the Top 2 All Time lulz if he was a certain poster would shut the hell up about it. True greatness doesn't need to be advertised

Ochai’s ceiling is probably like James Jones or Danny Green. Something like that. |

If Ochai could improve his shooting to that extent, he'd be Danny Green in like every respect. |

The Oklahoma City Thunder are the best team of all time.
They are the only team to win their first 7 games in a row by 10+ points. Watch out 97 Bulls. Watch out 2016 Warriors. And Hartenstein hasn't even made am appearance yet. |

Back to back losses for the TWolves to Portland. Randle seems to have destroyed that team.
