NBA 2024-25 Season Thread

super stacked, yes. all around stacked, yes.

also helps having a top 5 player in the league as well.

Highlight so far is the Perplexity ad. They recently raised more money, doubling their valuation within 3 months and apparently want to go mainstream now.

What is this halftime show it's all ads where is the analysis?

I was thinking the same thing. If halftime isn't longer than normal, it's just a cash grab halftime.

it's steven a and wilbon n ****, not inside the nba ... i'll take the ads

Old man Horford with a pretty sick block.

Don't use the n word!

boston has let up on the "attack luka" strategy this quarter and i think it's a mistake. even with extra days off tiring him out is great long term goal.

lead down to 8, what the h

fatman feasting rn

mazzula senses game slipping away and goes back to iso ball vs luka.......imo, they should spam that strategy every possesion.

It's been a rough 3rd quarter for the Celtics. But, that run helps a lot.

When Boston gets in trouble they go right to the Katie / Beard flop tactics and shake these stripes for free points like a broken coin pusher machine.

welp looks like boston will easily win this

indiana was 90% or better to win in the 4th quarter 3 out of 4 games against them

Dallas won the 3rd quarter 24-23.

It felt like a lot more. (probably because it was for a while)

Mavs have been a constant disappointment for as long as I've been a fan of them.

while they obviously don't have the top end talent of dallas, i felt like indy's offense was harder to guard. i dont have stats in front of me but it also felt like indy shot the lights out. similar, but not as lucky as miami in last years ECF.

plus, porzingis.

Mavericks wore black to their own funeral

silver lining for mavs is even LAC blew them out gm 1, OKC as well

they tend to improve as series goes on in Luka Era

but man 1 teams supporting cast is Porzingis White Holiday

the others is Jones Jr, Washington, Lively

as Drake once said "The distance between us is not a closeable gap"

I'll go with, "The Mavs front office has failed Luka again. The team isn't constructed properly."

Tatum always has the most minutes on the Celtics. He must refuse to leave the court.

fat lever aint walkin thru dat door?

Prime Dirk ain't walkin through that door

From Three:

Luka Doncic: 4-12
Rest of Mavericks: 3-25 (2 makes were late in a 20+ Celtics' lead)

A lot of the team stats look the same.

The key differences are the Celtics shooting better (47.6% - 41.7), shooting better from three (38.1% - 25.9%), having more assists (23-9), and more blocks (9-1).
