NBA 2024-25 Season Thread

gonna be wild when thibs pulls a hoosiers after another player gets hurt and he just chooses to play with four guys

Probably not a bad strategy because Carlisle seems like he has a Richard Pitino club in his bag.

1. It was clearly not a double dribble by Hartenstein.
2. Willis Reed 2.0 LFG!!!
3. Pacers never thought Brunson would come back in for second half. They were SHOOK SHOOK SHOOK!
4. Love the Happy Gilmore references.

Honestly amazed NBA teams still entrust Thibs with anything

If he turns brunson into rose 2.0 the man deserves to be executed

i took pacers -3.5 at open thinking OG is out

its 5.5 already now

could almost see the knicks quasi punting gm 3

or OG could just be ****ed

butler was called "Jimmy Minutes" earlier in his career and he turned out fine really

Eh, didn't Jimothy have meniscus or ligament surgery earlier in his career? That's the kind of **** that can run the risk of taking years off if it doesn't work out.

Brunson is already 27 tho, he's in his prime Thibs years now.

He was “48 Minute Jimmy”.

Re: OG

Could be more of a cramp than a straight up hamstring issue. If anything I’d prefer him not playing til game 4 unless he’s gonna be 85%+.

the twitter doc bros (and also the line having pacers -6 when im not sure they should be -6 over the best ballers who post in this thread) are saying hes out for sure gm 3 and likely beyond

nate duncan also said he thinks 1-2 weeks

OG is one of the best and strongest athletes in the entire NBA.

I’m not counting him out for any time period until the Knicks give an official report.

He also doesn’t have a large contract. Don’t be a hero, brother.

Knicks will pay him. They will pay that man his monies.

Shout out to somebody way early in the season on here that said the Knicks would be a contender if they just got rid of Randle. I looked at that and said, "Well, that's one opinion. NOT." I kind of like Randle. Admittedly I watch very little NBA. Enough to take the Lakers +2.5 games against Denver and Minn -1.5 games versus Denver. I guess I'm kind of a Denver specialist, you might say.

Anyway, I was a big Knicks fan back when Willis, Walt, Debusschere, Bradley, Barnett, Riordan, Phil, Monroe, Lucas, Meminger were rocking the Garden. I wonder if NYC is rocking this month?

Well that aged badly :p
I must say congrats on seeing Brunson potential so early far back .
I’m a believer now .
A 4th quarter bulldog .

Have to imagine Jalen may not be great either after the horse tranquilizers wear off.

JB prob just had a testicular torsion. They worked it out (slowly, ffs slowly), and he came back fine. Dude's a warrior.

Hi

The upgrade from Randle to OG is like Chris Childs to Jalen Brunson

Shout out to Leon Rose who had the foresight to draft a dude who runs like a ninja turtle and does through the leg dunks in playoff games at the Mecca over 6 pt game 1 USA basketball bum Tyrese Haliburton knowing who could then flip Donatello/Michaelangelo/Leonardo/Rafael for the goat OG Anunoby while simultaneously putting bum ass ObiWan in meaningful playoff games for the other team. GM masterclass

Yeah I don't think Frank was the issue...

Lol Ishbia

But good news for the Lakers so they can rehire Vogel

if the wolves keep rolling everyone then it is going to look dumb considering it was bring some revaluing of the suns and realizing maybe their issues were were about the team they were playing

but nba coaches pretty expendable these days

OG out for Game 3. Probably best for the Knicks. They can punt the game and run a literal G League line up for rest OR run their best line up out and they're still live to win

You don't punt a playoff game when you can go up 3-0. That's laughable. That would be like if Thibs were at a steakhouse and he ordered nothing but a salad.

Looks like Budenholzer has the inside track to be the next head coach of the Suns.
