NBA Season - now 24/25

Celtics v Spurs is showing a championship calibre team playing a team still outside the play-in
Spurs are still a mile off contending. One 2nd year player with unlimited potential, one first year player with what looks quite high potential in Castle, a high level experienced player in Fox still feeling his way in, and a bunch of role players to end of bench guys. Oh and very old Chris Paul who probably shouldn't be starting now.
Not helped by having an interim coach out of his depth.Celtics look they are about to get moving for the year. And how did i miss my boy Torrey getting traded there?

He’ll be a very good fit as a 3 and D guy. If one of their frontliners look weary he will be able to step in.
It was quiet as the Celts made only one fairly insignificant move in the trade period (moving Springer to the Rockets to open a roster spot) and just waited to pick up Craig in the buyout market

It was only the Jazz, but thought Simmons looked pretty good today with the Clips. Played with a little freedom and back to a more attacking style circa 76ers.
What a game from Exum. Mavs with a good win without Kyrie, Klay, Washington plus all the bigs being out.

I love basketball, I played until I was 36, and have followed the NBA closer than schoolwork or uni or real work for 30 years now
But the last 5 years I’ve hardly watched a regular season game. This season I’ve found myself not even checking the scores
I just can’t bring myself to sit down and watch a game that the players don’t really even care about.
I hope I find the juice for the playoffs

@voodoo Steph and Butler have found a bit of life and have played the last few games like their careers are on the line. Has made watching the Warriors better.
OKC’s defence is worth watching. Have turned deficits around in the 4th on regular occasion.
But I get your point. Some of the games are terrible even for a tragic like me.
Mainly watch for certain players - like watching a few of the Aussies like Daniels and Exum.
Some of the players that I wasn’t a fan of have improved this season and I actually like watching now (Jalen Green being the main one).
The playoffs will be good because it’s wide open in my view.

that's very stink - unless you're a bookie

In somewhat good news, they are suggesting that it won't be Bosh-level bad. It seems to be isolated and they say he'll make a full recovery.

Hopefully. He was having an excellent season and the Spurs were making a run for the bubble especially with a rejunvinated Fox.

Spurs had a decent win today against the struggling Suns.
Spurs bench gave excellent impact.

Finally had a chance to watch LAL vs DEN from a few days ago. LA's defensive effort was impressive, and the three headed monster of LBJ, Luka, and Reaves had the assists numbers up high. Add some beautiful passing from Jokic and it was a fun game to watch. But LAL did a good job of crowding Jokic and the other Nuggets couldn't step up

ok, now this is the strangest NBA story of the season
Taran Armstrong just singed a two-way with Golden State

Really interesting timing. Played his college ball in California so is known quantity. Found a couple of obscure US basketball chat groups talking about him and how happy they were that he now has a NBA opportunity.
A ball handling combo guard is something the Warriors love!

I've watched him play live more than most
They'll be disappointed

a random Thursday night and Steph Curry decides to go for 56, shooting 12 from 19 from 3. Rest of his team hits 6 from 26.
With LeBron revitalised, the league may never get rid of these guys.
Also the Nuggets who aren't Jokic stink. You have the best player in the league averaging a 30-point triple double and you are going nowhere.

Westbrook hasn't panned out?
