NBA 2024-25 Season Thread
Lettuce NBA!
and lettuce lol @ James Harden
Rj barrett last 3 games is 33 for 49... I don't feel good about knicks i feel like they gave in there soul and heart to get og and committed to julius randle. I mean I would've held on to rj guy is still just 23 y.o. and has been through 2 playoffs already the guy just seems like he couldn't play with julius I think he'll avg around 22per game this season for the raptors than we let go of iq who is prob. Going to avg 18 and 6. Even if we win a chip I still won't root as hard as when we got iq and rj and were rebuilding our organizations core.
OG similarity that came to my mind for Haliburton was a pass-first Maravich
Pacers-Wizards went under by 40 points with Haliburton out last night
Klay and Dray have been taking most of the heat but Curry has also been playing like ass this year, didn't think he would decline faster than KD and Lebron
I just hate betting on the health of Kawhi/PG13. Otherwise +1400 seems like value (on FD, best odds aorn).
the injuries are already baked into the price, because if Clips were guaranteed to be healthy they would be right there with Boston and Denver as co-favorites imo
get em
caught the end of the game, and in addition to the ft disparity was a bs offensive foul (that he alluded to here) on a game-tying 3 with like a minute left. the player was set standing for like 3 seconds and the shooter was wide open, so brow just futilely ran into him & flopped and got the call somehow. ridiculous
Cost $25k.
Absolutely got his money's worth.
Boston/Milwaukee under 247.5
the IQ offensive flagrant was beyond ridiculous. I'm a huge IQ fan and have watched a ton of him over the years from him being on the Knicks. Even he was like "Ref, dude what are you talking about (respectfully)?
So many frustrating calls/non-calls
Spoiler
Especially that I went hard on the over 36.5 wins for the Rap's season... 😊
Glad to witness such a win-win trade thus far!!! OG was playing about at 80% capacity for the Raps the past few weeks before his trade, so nice to see him crush it in NY along with Barrett doing the same in TO and Quickley seemingly having an awesome future 
bucks doing their part anyway, up like 40 at halftime lol

Man why don't I think of these things *before* the game :P
wow, super low number there. thought you usually get spanked more like $100-500k when you question the integrity of the refs/league like that. maybe an admission that they agree with him in this case lol
Ya I watched this game.
This was awful awful awful
The last call that sealed the lakers win was two guys bumping into each other lightly, and
the laker going down like he'd been shot. Really did look fixed to me the refs were so bad.
Really made me mad. Such a good game too, like 27 lead changes or something. I don't
wanna see any game if the refs are going to decide it like this.
They had a review of a tic tac foul too. They took forever to decide, which also ruins the viewing
experience. But like if you can't tell after 5 replays that is a clear foul or not, then just let it go.
But they called it, a barely touch the guy foul.
okc 118, portland 56 after 3Q
not sure what the record for biggest blowout is but its gotta be in danger

The size of that fine can only be interpreted as an admission by the league that the Raptors got screwed. If he had gone on a rant like that after a normal game, I think he would have been fined $250K.
Definitely worth it for $25k.
Best $25k ever spent imho.

Curry started the year well, but has dropped off considerably in the last month. A lot of sht games with a few random great games to remind you of what he can do.
Love the rant but the whole "they had X free throws and we had less than X, rigged" point is a bit boring.
A team getting more free throws means nothing about riggage
I watched the 4th quarter and while the lakers obv got a good whistle, i also thought it was not that egregious to scream riggage. Them getting the call on AD's flopping was lol but it's also a moving screen
Reminds me the time Fizdale went nuts because prime Kiwi shot more free throws than his team while defended by 40 years old vince carter
Stay Classy Chicago
Big ****ing yikes
That's damn disrespectful. Krause was certainly disliked, but he made a lot of good decisions. The only thing Krause did wrong, imo, was not win more than 6 championships. MJ hadn't won **** when Krause took over. Krause made quite a few decisions against MJ's wishes that worked out. And as we later learned, MJ is god awful at managing team personnel. Remind me again, what has Chicago done since Krause left?
A 19 year run at GM is basically unheard of these days.

No ****, MJ had an entire 1 year in the NBA when krause became GM....
You mean , remind me what exactly Chicago has done when MJ wasnt playing while krause was still at the "helm"....?
yeah he made some good decisions and probably the worst ever in 98 as well.
I mean whatever you think of Krause booing him to his widow and having her bawling cuz your team didn’t win more titles 20 years ago prolly the shittiest thing I’ve ever seen
