Around the NBA (and other Sports), 2024-25

Now 17.

Maybe OKC isn't that good.

[NYCelticsfan136]

I still don’t think golden state is legit. Crazy . Curry already has enough titles.

[Gant]

There's a titanic battle tonight between brawny undersized ground-bound wide-body non-starting former-Celtic power forwards. It's Yabusele vs Grant Williams. Both are putting up decent stats with the slight edge going to Yabs.

The game's going into OT.

[Shak_Celts]

So, you’re saying we aren’t terrible for losing to GSW? Oh ok.

[Bar Fight]

Jokic is winning MVP and there isn't a damn thing anybody can do about it. 37/18/15 on 75% TS. My **** goodness. He's been on a tear comparable to only the GOATs

[shackles10]

Suns get a ft to send to OT as they call a foul before the inbounds on review. What don’t, or likely can’t, review at all is Grayson Allen sticking his ass out and backing several steps into the defender causing him to grab Booker. Reminiscent of the missed challenge as DWhite fouls clearly due to an illegal screen. Hope Kings pull this off in OT.

[shackles10]

Kings getting absolutely hosed on a 4 point play that never should have been. How is an out of bounds save attempt possession??? Suns cannot stop Fox at all though lol

Every time I look at box scores, Jokic stands out with his video game numbers. Nuggets better be a 7th seed or something for JT to even stand a chance.

When you watch him, it doesn't even look like he tries.

IMO it's likely BS if anyone but Jokic wins it. I hate how voters decide someone has already won enough. He's the most valuable player by a mile and should continue to get the award regardless of how many he's won if this remains true.

You aren’t wrong and I still want Tatum to win it.

Sheez Chet out for 2-3 months (minimum) with a hip injury.

Time for OKC and Presti and cash all their chips in on Giannis ? I think they should tbh

[24SecondRule]

Just looked at the standings for the first time this season: only 2 teams with winning records in the East!

[ConstableGeneva]

Cavs remain the lone undefeated team. 9-0 is their best in franchise history. Health is really a major factor in racking up wins now. Also see Warriors and Suns. OKC and Celtics have done well with key guys missing. Lakers won't do damage without AD. Sixers are just pathetic without Embiid (also pathetic in playoffs even with him). And of course, none of the Bucks games count without Middleton.

I just cursed the Suns and OKC. Warriors and Cavs still going strong. People just brush aside the fact that the Celtics have been missing their All-Star calibre center in his prime (and Finals MVP for a few games) and yet have the 2nd best record in the league.

Right now

1. Jokic
Sizeable Gap
2. Tatum

I like Jokic as a player & a dude too so I can’t be too mad if he wins another MVP.

Bucks aren’t going to trade Giannis

If.their season continues to bomb and they end up with a record of 3-25 (for example) they will have to consider it, especially as they don't have any first round picks till 2031

[Fierce1]

It will be hard to trade Giannis as they are a 2nd apron team.

[Smart2Nesmith43]

Luka Doncic is putting up the worst efficiency of his career (53.1 TS%), the worst rebounding numbers of his career (11.4 REB%) and the worst passing numbers since his rookie year (34.7 AST%) while his team, allegedly an improvement on an NBA finalist, sits outside the play-in. Yet he gets zero criticism. The media bias is egregious.

[playa-hater]

Joker is my favorite NON Celtic ever. He literally makes me feel better about where Larry Bird stands or should stand on any all time list. I still have peak Bird > Everyone. Bird's career obviously not top 3 or 5 anymore.

But the Joker is continually proving that not being an elite athlete (in his case way down that list) but having all the intangibles/skills/IQ etc... on the Highest level is still so underrated.

Bird - Joker = same player, different position, different ERA.

As far as Tatum goes, I have stated my desire for him to win the MVP. But to do it he literally needs to crank up his efficiency. And Again number thing in that regard is stop taking so many lazy-step back 3s. It just totally plummets his 3% and overall %..
