Season starts tonight with Knicks and Celtics followed by Lakers and TWolves.

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

Here’s a real stat, as of 2023, LeBron was 7/12(58%) in his career in game tying/winning FGA in the final :01 of playoff games.

Kobe/Steph/Durant/Kawhi/Harden/Westbrook/Dirk/Wade/Jokic/McGrady/Nash are combined 6-50(12%)

So you are saying that number isn't accurate? This guy doesn't sound like he doesn't like LBJ.

Yes, it isn't accurate. Such is the state of "journalism" and social media these days. People just make up total bullshit and it spreads without any checks/balances (which also, by the way, helps explains the current political climate as well).

It's LeBron's fault

Why beat Charlotte when you can blowout Denver on the road? Luka owns the Nuggets.

The Bobcats are a tough team.

Denver was so bad that it's almost hard to take much from it.

I'd have preferred see a better effort from Denver there. That was just an ass-kicking.

Warriors 5-1 since the Butler trade. They look like they have a new hitch in their step.

Yeah, it's called adding a top 20 player in the NBA

Unclear why some thought Butler ceased being a good player just because he got in a massive fight with Pat Riley.

I thought he would be disgruntled having to play with Golden State. I thought he would actually tank them.

Well the Warriors didn't think he ceased being a good player. Dude can ball and the Warriors are back to being a contender.

Tank them? They were a complete dead end team without him.

Contender? Bit of a stretch considering Steph and Draymond's decline.

They're not hopeless like they were with washed Klay last year, though.

DJ's left nut · 02-23-2025, 09:34 PM

Wait.

The Rockets gave Dillon Brooks 4/$86 million?!?!

You could've told me he was on a minimum deal and I wouldn't have been shocked by it. What the ****?
