NBA 2024-25 Season Thread
Lettuce NBA!
and lettuce lol @ James Harden
my favorite ep of the shop was back in 2019 when lonzo ball was on, maybe like 2 months before the lakers traded him
lebron calls him "the kid" like 6x in a minute span right infront of him, like he isnt even there or something
To be fair Lonzo Ball hasn’t really been “there” in several years now.
LeBron was ahead of the curve on that one!
I'll take the 5th best player of either of these lineups over any other 5th best player in NBA history.
Billups, Rip, Sheed, Wallace, Prince.
Isiah, Dumars, Laimbeer, Aguirre, Rodman.
Interesting exercise.
Iggy was pretty good.
Maxwell from the 80s Celtics
You could probably cheat and go with a HoFer from one of the Russell Celtics teams.
Cooper/Worthy from the 80s Lakers
KP day to day with some injury that I can't pronounce
doesnt sound good
people weren't meant to be 7'3'' (He's actually 7' 1.5'' barefoot so thats his real height). I pray daily for Wemby (who is actually a legit 7' 4'' now).
how caitlin clark being left off the olympic team didnt make its way into this thread at some point? i have no idea
but kudos to everyone involved for that

Bitches be hating.
Everyone would potentially make more money if Clark continues to blow up.
Win win.
Terrible decision by those involved.
Celtics +25 in KP minutes
Series even when KP doesn’t play.
Verdict: Celtics in 4 still, ldo
I'll be surprised if Christie Sides survives the Caitlin Clark furor as coach of the Fever WNBA. Looks like a classic coach takes the hit situation.
the fantasy football doc guy Chao says he thinks KP is done fwiw
You saying Kristapa Porzingis isn’t walking through that door?
The words torn and dislocation were used. No way that dude is playing.
I got Celtics to win Game 3 by 7, lose game 4 by 5, then win game 5 by 12.

I think he tries to play, its the finals. AD tried to play 3 years ago vs the Suns and he couldn't even walk.
Probably gets the minutes that went to Kornet when he was out. But I think Horford is back to Pacers series level workload. That should help Gafford and Lively a lot. Think Mavs probably get rid of the Kleber at center minutes unless they get down a lot.
I guess this is why you get a 7'3 guy who can protect the rim, shoot 3's and post up mismatches along with 2 1st rd picks for Marcus Smart....Cause he's gonna die.

Here's an interesting article on the Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck
‘We will be paid in parades.’...
Grousbeck set the tone with his partners early on. The Celtics would not be run like a family business. His pitch: You’ve made your money elsewhere. We won’t lose your shirt, but ownership is about hoisting banner 17 and many more to come. They would need to spend to win.
“I don’t want your lunch money or your college fund. You’re all very well-to-do people. I want a small percentage of your net worth. You put it into the Celtics and alongside me, I will run it. But I will treat you all like partners,” he told them. “But this is not about a percentage return or anything like that. This is about winning championships . . . so we will be paid in enjoyment. We will be paid in parades.”
...But titles can be expensive. The Celtics are losing money, Grousbeck acknowledged, because the team has exceeded the NBA salary cap, triggering a luxury tax the league levies to encourage competitive balance. The Celtics are expected to shell out nearly $48 million in luxury tax next season, the third highest in the NBA, according to Spotrac. That number is likely to grow larger if the Celtics re-sign Tatum, whose contract is coming up for renewal.
“We are losing money,” Grousbeck said. “We are unconcerned by that.”
Guy worth $400M is losing money.
Here's the thing, he's not losing money. It's a tax write-off via his (very) high paid accountant (which his services is also a tax write-off).
