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

Watching POR at OKC and Ajay Mitchell looks like a good two way guard, right here. OKC has got nails on defense

I claimed plenty of guys at one point or another, lol, but by draft day Mogbo then Mitchell were my guys for 30. Mitchell would have been a slight stretch there, but I liked him enough and knew he'd be gone by 55. It's so hard to judge even in the first few years, but I like what little I've seen of him in OKC games I've seen. When Baylor gets his shot Brad will prove me wrong, I hope.

This is a Philly thing, right?

One of the saddest moments in film from my childhood, lol. RIP Apollo.

I still think the Knicks could be our biggest challengers in the east and not the cavs.

Paul George monetizing his team's demise is next level douchebaggery. Would be sweeter if he was the leak lol.

If they learn how to defend, maybe. They have the coach, just not the players. OG is their only top-tier defender.

Previous teams that eliminated the Jays-led teams had high level defense -- Heat (2x), Warriors, Bucks (don't really count, Kyrie quit). Cs can outshoot/outgun anybody in a 7-game series because of the 3-ball.

What happened? The monetizing part?

Hey don't be mean to Process P. He is trying to create good content for his podcast. Playing for the Sixers is just a side hustle.

Body wasn't even cold yet.

Have the wheels come off a team this quickly ever before? I mean, bringing a 34-year-old PG to a roster that already has an injury-plagued star was a risky bet, but the Sixers have barely played a dozen games. This looks like next-level snakebite.

Picking out that Brad the GOAT Stevens picked the Cavs as the best competition in the east is a pretty wild thing overall.

Not that they were expected to compete (coming off picking Josh Jackson fourth in the draft) but the 2017/2018 Suns fired their coach 3 games into the season after going 0-3 with a -92 point differential. Of course everything worked out for them in the end since they finished with the worst record and the number one pick where they went with the clear best prospect in the draft: Luka Doncic. Just kidding, they selected DeAndre Ayton because they had no clue what they were doing.

12th seed Spurs have a better record than 11 teams in the East. The disparity between the conferences right now is wild.

Toronto on a roll now.

Something clicked for the Raps when they visited Boston.

It seems like that towns trade has affected the wolves more than the Knicks. Sure the Knicks defense has gotten a little worse but still they’re doing much better than the t wolves.

True.

Teams are also aware of Ant now.

There's a concerted effort to stopping Ant.

Ant's size will also prevent him from becoming a top 5 player in the NBA.

At 6-4, he'll not have the luxury of posting up players.

Franz Wagner just broke the Lakers hearts.

Red would be so proud !

AD missing 3 of his last 4 free throws didn't help either..

[Fierce1]

Just saw the Lakers lose to a step back 3 from Franz.

The defense in today's NBA is just too good when the game is tight.

I think JT is right in trying to master the 3pt shot.

It's really very hard to get open in the NBA nowadays.

Even dunks are getting blocked.

So it's looking like JT is ahead of the curve.

JT definitely knows what he's doing.

[Sweet Serenity]

The Magic are going to our biggest competition over the next couple of years. Banchero & Wagner look like they’re on that Tatum/Brown trajectory, they just need time.

The Cavs are just the Raptors pre-Kawhi. A lot of nice players that will win a lot of regular season games but will always fall short of contention because their best player is about the 15-18th best player in the league. (Mitchell/Derozan)
