NBA Season - now 24/25

Now that was a fun game - Warriors v Mavs, Steph vs Klay. Tribute to Klay to kick off proceedings and all the fans wearing Klay captain hats. Plenty of emotion before and during the game.
Went down to the wire with Steph having to go Olympic mode in the 4th. Klay hit six 3s himself and there were some cheers from the Duns crowd when he hit some of them too!
Warriors have good depth and they are playing as a team with Kerr trusting his bench going 11 deep in most games.

because the fuck else is there? cricket hasn't started. there's barely any footy. NFL is not often enough.
I wouldn't say i am excited. And i know nothing really matters until after the All Star break. But it is still elite sport, and some lads are sticking up huge numbers.
-
Boys, I honestly don’t know how you can get excited about NBA regular season
It’s a complete farce, it’s barely watchable stuff.
I love bball as much as any of you guys, and it pains me that I can’t get interested until the playoffs start
@voodoo definitely get that, but I’m a tragic and still love it. It’s the games within the game that I like. The games yesterday had a bit more feeling with the NBA cup starting.
That Hawks win against the Celtics was a fun watch too. Aussie Dyson Daniels is one of the best defensive guards in the league and he had a night out on the other end. Plus I love seeing Boston lose these days.
Then Spols doing a C Webb and calling a ghost timeout and losing the Heat the game at the very death. Crazy.

The NBA Cup is a success i reckon. For all these dudes have too much money, and too little motivation, wave a trophy in front of them and they fucking go for it.
-
Also, do you reckon there are a heap of NBA teams and players just waiting for LBJ, KD and Steph to finally fuck off? 40, 37 and 36 and they are still dominant forces in the league, and the best players on their team. It should not be happening, and yet here we are.

@mariner4life it’s a make or miss league and as long as thise guys can score consistently, they will play until 45!

This made me laugh. The LeBron haters will appreciate

@voodoo love the Lebron jab because it’s true!
I don’t think it’s overused. It was an intense game against the reigning WCF champs, who everyone has said got stronger by adding a splash bro. Given the 4th quarter Steph was having it deserved it.
What I find cringy is when some random from the Sydney Kings or some dude in the China or Philippines leagues do it.
-
the biggest rivalry in the league right now is Doc Rivers v Giannis. Can one's ability and will to win beat the others opposite of those things.
-
yes it is too early to really make any bold claims.
But the Spurs stink and Wemby is playing crap. boooo.
Look at the league records. The East has 2 good teams and a bunch at .500
The West is a shitfight of winning records.Lots of Superstars playing well early in the year. Jokic is miles in front as the best player in the world, currently averaging a triple double.
Three players averaging 30 or more points.@mariner4life said in NBA Season - now 24/25:

in Spurs coaching news
Concerning reports out of SA that Pop has had a minor stroke and this might be it for him. Absolutely nothing confirmed as yet so hopefully all bullshit.
And based on the above i should be considered for the role. Since my crack at him Wemby is on a tear. Scored 50 tonight in 28 minutes.
He's spamming the 3 button hitting 20 from 36 in the last 3 games. So what's coming is pump fake, one step, alien dunk.

That is below their game average too….
Averaging over 50 attempts per game this season. Coach Joe wants them right around there.
Some crazy numbers today:
Greek freak - 59 / 14 / 7
KAT - 46 and 10
Wemby - 50 piece
Jordan Poole - 42
Rookie Jared McCain got 38. 76ers Big 3 were out and he almost got the win against the Cavs.Cavs are now 13-0. Best all round backcourt so far this season.

See Stewart get ejected for the fragrant on the Freak? Shit like that would turn my hair grey if I were a coach or owner; imagine having your star get hurt from a fluffybunny play like that.

Agree, hate that shit

Classic Stewart though. Was dumb as it wasn’t even near the end where in a close-ish game you might see an obvious foul. And given how the game played out, they could’ve done with his size.

How much (how long) for this?
I was watching that game today and l it was a scrappy one. Plenty of frustration throughout from the Rockets, not so much at the ref but how the Blazers were making runs. This was the second of a back to back mini series between the teams and the Rockets won easy in the first game.
Fred will likely cop 5-10 games I reckon.
