Just saying cheers to an awesome NBA season well done to all, can't wait for next season already, but let's bring on the CRAZY offseason.

•Your Team = Lakers

• Ups = We got Luka, Boston didn't repeat, Denver didn't win either.

•Downs= Not winning chip and getting bounced 1st round yikes!

• Longest winning streak = 8 I believe
• Longest losing streak = 4 I believe

• Best game = X-mass day vs Warriors, Reaves buzzer beater 26pts,10ast, 10reb didn’t see them all but this my fav

•Worst game = vs Bulls Giddey half court buzzer enough said

• New management

Now your turn... Peace out!

Pacers had one of the most enjoyable runs I've ever witnessed. Even if they didn't win, they are team I'm going to remember for the 2025 playoffs for years to come. Cheers to them.

Awesome? The playoffs maybe but the season was wrecked with injuries, the refs were…not at their best…and so many games with blowouts because teams were shooting 1000 3s per game. I’m just glad that it’s over.

Too bad most will basically only remember the crazy lopsided and suspicious Luka-trade that was followed by the Mavs being gifted the top pick.

1. DEN/OKC
2. IND/OKC
3. IND/NYK
4. LAC/DEN

were great, in that order. DEN/OKC was one of the best series I've ever seen. I didn't miss a second of it. The other two you mentioned were great as well.

meh, the league was in trouble and then they orchestrated the Luka trade to bring more attention to it. The playoffs were a nice surprise with tight series but too many injuries marred them and affected outcomes. The Finals were outstanding until they rigged Game 4 and thus the series ruining everything by allowing the Thunder to foul almost at will while simultaneously protecting the Thunder on the other end. Thunder fans might be ecstatic by the supposed quality but I doubt most fans agree.

Your team = Rockets

• Ups = 2 seed, Amen Thompson broke out, traded Jalen Green, rag-dolled Tyler Herro

•Downs= Sheppard didn't play, didn't beat GSW in 5, didn't win Cooper Flagg (and worst of all, DAL got him - that hurts our draft equity!; plus, SAS got #2)

• Longest winning streak = 9
• Longest losing streak = 6

• Best game = I'm really bad at this from memory, but the JAN game-winner by Thompson to beat Boston stands out

•Worst game = again, I'm bad at this, so I'll just say "the last one"

• Udoka extended, KD acquired, Green and Brooks out

This was one of the best playoffs in EONS. Fun high level basketball. Pacers run and gutsy free for all style of I will remember for long time.

And OKC a young monster of a team winning their first title of probably several (even tho they genuinely not fun to watch despite dominating).




Worst part of the season is same as every other year. Injuries.

It was like watching a terrific movie but the bad guys win in the end.

Knicks fans going ape **** for winning the 2nd round and Pacers epic run were awesome. Everything else about the season kinda sucked IMO. Slog of a regular season. Trade deadline defined by one GM going full-short bus mode. Tons of injuries to stars. Lots of teams with great talent (BOS, CLE, Phoenix) looking at offseason moves of trying to shed salary. You go to the T&T board and pretty much any team adding a player gets met with responses of “too much money”. A dreadful team to watch looking poised to start a dynasty.

They spent so much fear on super teams that they turned the league into one homogenous slab of bull ****. Can’t remember last time I felt the NBA’s future was so un-compelling.

Wudyumean awesome? First 5 games Paolo gave us that 50pt triple-burger(kinda) then he had an oblique next game..... then it was a never endig carousel of injuries for our team.

It was going bonkers for a minute, but injuries screwed a bunch of stuff up and then (as always) some questionable refereeing here and there through the playoffs wasn't great either. The concerns over the tax dictating everything make it all start to feel more like hockey, which I absolutely hate.

There were fun moments, and this was poised to be really interesting at the end at least... and then yeah, Haliburton's Achilles injury undercut everything. I was surprised it took until the 3rd quarter for OKC to really open it up, but yeah, that was a foregone conclusion after Haliburton went down, sadly.

Boooo.

The season was awesome IMO. I’m originally a Hawks fan but my fandom lies with whatever teams play to my basketball sensibilities, so I mostly watched the Grizzlies, Pacers, and Warriors especially after the Jimmy acquisition. Along with the Cavs and Thunder to a lesser extent I witnessed some crazily high level ball over the course of the season.

The Steph and Hali injuries turned my stomach in knots. Boston’s disgusting style of offensive basketball being eliminated fairly early along with uncertainty for their roster and play style next season almost made up for them.

Next season I’ll be looking forward to the Magic and Pistons taking their next steps, OKC polishing their offense, and obviously Cooper Flagg as I’ve never watched him play.

I can't hear anything anyone else is saying.

Detroit is back. That's all that matters.

•Your Team = we know

• Ups = Tobias came back to where he belongs, First playoff game win in 17 years, Cade's emerged as a franchise player, getting as far as we did without our 2nd option and best defender.

•Downs = The refs taking away our game 7, Beasley owned/disappeared

no idea on the streaks

Best game = Game 2 vs NYK, The Chicago blowout

•Worst game = Ivey breaking his leg, the game 4 missed call on THJ
