NBA Season - now 24/25

Low scoring but a good intense defensive game. I’m a Clippers supporter but I thought the Mavs bought the heat today and deserved the win.
@gt12 Clippers version of Harden is far more bearable

Watching the second half of the Wolves v Suns, Minnesota are a fun team to watch. They have Ant Man of course, but they pass the ball and find the open man regularly. KD looks like he will fail to lead a squad to the finals again. With lots of young squads, looking at you OKC and Cleveland, doing well in the playoffs, the youth movement is trying to push past the old guard

My Mavs win again.
No way that will continue.
People (fairly) talk about Kyrie being a weird cat - but he's actually pretty consistent on the court these days. Kawhi on the other hand, has had one of the most bizarre careers of any current player. Can be so incredible, but you really just can't trust him.
Let's go Mavs!

Wolves are very good, and have genuine size to trouble Denver.
Boston are pretty lucky to be in the East...

Suns are the first out.
T-Wolves v Nuggets is going to be epic

I loves Ant Man. He's a beast, and plays the game with a big smile on his face

I’m not sure I’ve ever disliked a player as much as I do Embiid
He makes constant excuses for repeat failures in the post season, and he’s a fucking dirty prick

the NBA stars of the twenty teens are dead. This is no longer their league.
Curry didn't get out of the play in. LeBron nearly got swept. KD did get swept. PG, Kawhi (who is constantly hurt anyway) and Harden are now getting a touch up from Luka and the Mavs. Butler is gone (and didn't play).
This league now belongs to Wemby
Ok maybe a few other guys like Jokic, Doncic, Ant Edwards, SGA, Tatum are quite good too.

Did you watch it?
They looked gooood! Kyrie had one of those terrible box score / amazing games. Jeez he was good in big moments. But the whole team looked energised too, even Kleiber was great
Clippers by 10 in G6 in Dallas

And now the Bucks, with no Giannis, but a Doc Rivers, are out too. You could see that coming a mile off.

I feel like Giannis kind of deserves this a bit - he pushed out their last coach, for Doc?
Silly organization

Let's trade our best defender to bring in one of the worst defenders in the league who used to be able to score a bit but is now pretty unreliable - and pair the new team with one of the worst coaches in modern NBA history - what could go wrong?!!
What a shame for Pat Bev too, one of the all-time dickheads in the league.

And now Embiid is gone too
Jalen Brunson is

If Philly spends wisely, they'll be fucking tough next year (assuming Embiid is healthy). Maxey can be a fucking weapon and they have heaps of cap space.

I dunno. How many playoff exits do we need from Embiid to figure out he's a playoff bust? He was terrified out there in the 4th again, wanted no part of dominating the end.
What about the line for Harris? 0-1 in 29mins. It's a fucking elimination game Tobias!!

One more, for me, at least.
I think his injury issues are the bigger concern for me - but if they recruit well I’m interested to see whether they can give the Celtics a much harder time.

Not sure of you watched the last couple of games (yay for WFH!), but I’ve never seen such misleading stat lines. He looks genuinely terrified in the big moments, and Maxey wasn’t able to take over and save him today
Today he had 33 through 3 quarters then made 2 baskets in the 4th, repeatedly giving the ball up. Last game he had about 700 turnovers
The worst thing though is the laziness on defense. That play today with 3mins to go when he didn’t box out, leading to the offensive rebound then to OG’s dunk and the and-1 foul on Embiid for pushing him in the stomach (another non-basketball play) really summed it up.
Probably the crowds fault again eh?
