NBA 2025-26 Season Thread: THE NY KNICKS ARE CHAMPIONS! BING BONG!

They’re still riding high and said **** it.

RIP Frank Layden. He was one of a kind forty years ago. 85-89 Jazz goatish defensive team. Made Mark Eaton an All-Star but messed up with Adrian Dantley.

Please tell that to everyone moving here so the rents go down.

Chet has unlocked potential.
He’s also a significant perpetual injury risk.

I agree with fidstar (who’s pretty damn smart); they should’ve waited.

NBA o/u wins 25-26 came out.

Here are McMuffin's picks:

Clippers o46.5 DK -120 = 1.8u to win 1.5u
Knicks o51.5 DK -120 = 1.2u to win 1u
Spurs o43.5 DK -110 = 1.1u to win 1u
Heat o36.5 FD -118 = 1.18u to win 1u

Flags fly forever. Running it back is the easiest choice, the CYA choice, and probably the smartest choice. Over the next five years barring catastrophic injuries they’ll average 64-5 wins and either chip or lose to the chipper. And they’ve snuffed out all the Ghost Of Harden stuff while everybody still drunk.

Probably 50/50 on being stinky at some point but another rang and nobody will care.

Nothing similar to Beal’s toxic nonsense.

Ticket prices high to see Bronny play against former teammate Maxwell Lewis

Babe, wake up. Somebody almost dunked in Summer League.

lolol

ESPN could not have asked for a better game.

I really think lebron to knicks for KAT happens
1. He wants OUT of L.A.
2. He wants Eastern Conference due to West being strong at top w OKC n Denver n Houston
3. Why not live in NYC
4. If he wins a title for Knicks hes a NY legend
5. He prolly wants to play with Brunson
6. Mike Brown connection
7. He’s expiring and Knicks can have cap space in 2026
8. Knicks were frustrated with KAT’s lack of effort and blowing assignments on defense.

Lakers don't care what Lebron wants anymore. They just need to sit tight a couple of years

Bucks apparently adding another young depth piece in Cole Anthony. Horst continues to impress with his offseason moves.

Cole Anthony is actually underrated imho.

Great pickup.

Miami playing a rotation of eight guys in a SL game is remarkable.

Bulls did the same thing yesterday. Why is Buzelis playing 32 minutes in summer league?

You can always bet on teams who are 0-2. Players and coaches do not want to leave Summer League winless

Lakers scored 58pts total in a Summer League and their whole bench played a combined 68 minutes for a total of 2 points (2 free throws)

Clippers lock-in down that 2018 title!

Harden/Beal/Kawhi/Collins/Zu

Over/under the number of games that lineup actually starts?

20 games?

aren't summer league games shorter? regardless, doesn't seem like a big deal to not get into the bench much. not like many teams have more than 2-3 meaningful players there anyway, and it's not exactly high intensity ball
