NBA 2024-25 Season Thread
Lettuce NBA!
and lettuce lol @ James Harden
Why the hell is Gordon Hayward playing so much, he’s awful and stealing minutes from far better players. I really hope Daigneault is just experimenting and he’s realizing he should be the 10th man.
Is there anywhere easy to find players' "points generated from assists"? Like, FG% is basically obsolete these days compared to eFG%, shouldn't we be thinking in terms of eAst too?
Assisting on two 3PM is basically the same as assisting on three dunks right? (and all things being equal probably came from roughly the same number of assist attempts?)
Why is everything still in raw assists?

Jalen Williams was on the injury report and only played 7 mins, thats probably why. And also he wanted some reps with Hayward with the starters I guess.

I agree it's very archaic. I've also wanted hockey assists as a stat for the LONGEST time. We have the technology!

Yeah that’s why he started and played 29 mins today. But even before today he’s been getting more mins than Joe, Wiggins and Wallace. He’s way worse than all of them. I don’t even think he’s better than JWill at this point. I thought they traded for him to dump Bertans salary but it seems like they actually think he’s not washed or something.
Plumlee just tried a corner three lefty, lol
Check out 2:04 , you see BobboFitos made a post on the forum he talks about.
Pretty sure we discussed this issue in a year prior TZ.
Clippers were up 20 in the 2nd, Kawhi leaves with back spasms, end up losing by 18.
Just can’t have nice things.
Never bet on the Clippers.
Presti Alert
Auburn has a 6’8 super senior named Jaylin Williams. Second team all SEC. 39.7% on 2.6 threes per game this year.
Looks like another backup center to me. Get Kenrich out of there
sabonis >>> labald
sabonis is such a pimp
Deebo DeRozan the new favorite to win the Jerry West trophy
BOL BOL is on FIRE
But seriously his general presence is ****ing the Cs up. And Nurkic is a problem for a team like the celtics
Bol Bol always had that potential.
Unicorn qualities.
dunno how Celts survived all the matchup problems nurkic and bol bol presented to score 127 pts
I think if Suns are healthy, I'd have them as #3 in the West (maybe #2) but it is hard to see them being close to decent defensively with this personnel. And they have no depth whatsoever if anyone goes down.
One thing I have noticed this year is it seems like every teams bench sucks? Like no contenders have more than 1-2 playable guys off the bench at the highest levels. Going to be a lot of burning the candles at both ends/7 man rotations come playoff time, probably creating war of attrition/more injury variance.
That's where the Knicks come in with a healthy-ish Randle coming back and a healthy OG.
With the resurgence of Precious Achiuwa they would then be legit 10 deep.
I could be wrong cause I've watched little NBA this year but who'd have thought the Warriors could actually have a deepish bench?
Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong tho. Of course most teams run 8man max rotation in the playoffs anyway
Two timelines

Our bench has been good this year. Our starting 5 has been ****.
