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

Haha Miami

What an miraculous game winning rebounding buzzer beater from Sabonis, which had no business going in but he made it anyway!

Always enjoyable watching the Heat lose like that

[Smart2Nesmith43]

Cavs playing well early but who have they really played? Knicks? I know they have handled the bucks more than us but they haven’t played any good team to be honest maybe with the exception of the Knicks.

They can only play who is in front of them and credit to them for handling their business. That being said, it's a bit much when people try to paint this as a completely different team from years past. They have been a top 4 seed for the last couple season and even had like a 17-1 stretch or something last season. They have been killing bad teams for a while now.

Told a couple of Knicks fans, who came to our board before the season started, that the Knicks will lose their toughness after that KAT trade.

Look at the Knicks now.

Congrats to the Jazz, who won over the Bulls. They were the last NBA team this season to secure a win. Now tied on the win column with the East contenders Bucks and Sixers.

Cavs and Thunder might just go 82-0. Yawn.

My guy Zach Eddy just clinched ROY with his performance..

Who's more legit, CLE or OKC? I think OKC is more legit and most likely will be in the Finals.

Too early.

Only legit is the Celtics.

OKC choked against Luka in the semis last season.

Havent been watching the thunder, but the Cavs have been getting pretty lucky thus far.

Sqeeked out 2 wins against the 1-7 bucks (1 game missing Giannis, both missing Middleton so they dont count)
Toronto missing Barrett
Magic missing Banchero
Washington
not good knicks
terrible Lakers
Detroit


And the OKC Thunder
Nuggets - suck
Bulls - suck
Hawks - Suck
Spurs - suck
Blazers - suck
CLippers - suck
Magic without Banchero suck

Not claiming the Celtics have met stiff competition but Pacers are the best team anyone has played, imo.

Thunder. They still don’t even have IHart back yet. They’re the goods and who i expect to see in the finals

Cleveland is NOT legit.
Dont think OKC is, but they are a far better team than the Cavs.

Cavs are not better than
Boston





OCK
Dallas
Healthy Bucks
Healthy Orlando
Suns
Warriors
TWolves
Pacers


They are in the 3rd tier with
Cavs
Knicks
Denver
Lakers
Kings
Grizzlies
Rockets

They might make it, but I think they get cooked in the playoffs when the game slows down by Minny/Dallas

Old friend Guerschon Yabusele is playing well for the Sixers after an impressive Olympic performance. I always liked the dancing bear. Too bad he didn't work out for Boston.

[phincsfan]

A healthy Laker team is very good, but if AD's foot injury lingers throughout the season they're gonna struggle to be a 500 team. Foot injuries and basketball players, especially bigs is a bad combo.

6 asts for a backup Big man shows some Euro-type of BB culture.

JT being on this list makes me happy. He can still get better imo.

If I was the Bucks, Lopez, Middleton and Portis would all be gone by the trade deadline. Try to convince Giannis that it could be a one year turnaround. Bucks should probably go after Ingram to pair with Giannis and Dame. What else can they do?

IMO Bucks 3 biggest issues are healthy available players, they're slow/older, and lack shooting. Ingram is a good enough player but has missed a lot of games and lacks shooting.
