NBA 2024-25 Season Thread

COBY WHITE!!!!!!! 37 career high on 14/19 shooting! 8 reb 6 asst

42/9/6 15/21 fg 9/10 ft with ZERO TURNOVERS

COBY is the NEW KOBE!

I'm sure they all talk about it with each other.

Especially with Jimmothy out. Getting dogwalked 4-0 by BOS hardly seems like a just reward tho

Well we got Miami at 11:1 to miss the playoffs. So that’s nice

And here we go

the bulls are turrrible. plz fast-forward this game so we can get to the ceremonial lighting of tha beam later on

lol "sample of last 10 games" especially when everyone is tanking/resting starters

nice catch i was thoroughly confused

derozan mic'd up talking to teammate: "they're crowding me. even when it looks like i'm looking for a shot, i'm looking for y'all. someone's gonna be wide open."

derozan irl two minutes later: *drives and leaps into quadruple team*

*chef's kiss

as a boston fan, genuinely unsure if i'd rather see MIA without Butler or a healthy Chicago team that looks like they don't belong in the NBA

hype!

is sofi at 40% capacity?

heh

Wouldn't there be criminal charges for Porter? he rigged games

I guess his riggage was reduced to his bum ass checking out for props but college players in the past have been convicted of point shaving

hedake smith, the BC guys back in the day, sure there were others

What a difference a few days make.

So the East play-in tournament this year served to:

1) Injury Jimmy Butler

-End of list

Cool?

Can't imagine NBA ever gets rid of the play-in, its a huge hit, makes last 5-6 weeks of the season way more relevant

but def sucked this yr jokers like bulls hawks had to waste our time in the east

Play in is awesome and should stay forever, it's just funny that this year it was fait accompli because of the PHI situation and the gap between MIA and CHI/ATL.

and the west play-in only served to injure fatboi

but hey, on the plus side it killed the woyas

you cannot stop jonas valančiūnas, you can only hope to contain him

vegas totals are noticeably lower in playoffs than regular season. is this most attributable to:

a) trying harder on defense
b) refs allowing more physical play
c) other

probably those 2 yeah. also everyone more locked in on tactics, everyone who can play is, etc. think a lot of regular season scoring comes from good players going up against bad ones because of injuries and load management

its a continuation of the post ASB scoring plunge as well though, thats the main reason

good read and im sure the players are noticing this as well and playing more physical on D lately
