NBA 2025-26 Season Thread: THE NY KNICKS ARE CHAMPIONS! BING BONG!
Lettuce NBA!
and lettuce lol @ James Harden
The league is in trouble.
Buzz buzz
Clippers started 6-21.
Soon enough they’ll be back at 0.500
Thunder fans everywhere are disappointed.
got the tickets, excited to see a potential #1 pick play

Yet they are only 5 and 5 over that stretch. That stat almost certainly is driven mostly by the 150-95 drubbing they dropped on the LOLJazz
Or maybe beating the Thunder 124-97. Or the Lakers 135-117. Or the Magic 124-97. Or the fact we’ve given up less than 100 points in 7 of the last 11.
They still have a consistency problem, but when fully healthy, and they have been recently, this team is much better than their record.
Another good one.
So, in the All-star USA vs World, does Greenland/Venezuela playing for the USA or the World?
Is this life now? Minus 24 if Steph minutes when he's going for 38 on 67 EFG%.
The Clippers need to trade Chris Paul to a college team for prospects.
game is sold out, just discovered that jamal crawford is the assistant coach and his son jj is only a freshman
should be fun
jamal crawford is probably my favorite nba commentator.
Yeah he's good.
Ayton is terrible. Lakers need to run more Luka/LeBron PnR. Defensive intensity is an issue.
They were saying the same thing when Luka was in Dallas. Luka spends more time bitching to the refs than getting back on defense. I think he has the ability to be good on defense, he just doesn't have the want to.
Doncic vs Flagg through their 1st 40 games with the Mavs.
Average minutes per game
Luka - 31
Cooper- 34
Field goal percentage
Luka - 43%
Cooper - 48%
3 point percentage
Luka - 37%
Cooper - 29% (needs work)
Free throw percentage
Luka - 71%
Cooper - 82%
Points per game
Luka - 19.8
Cooper - 18.8
Rebounds per game
Luka - 6.6
Cooper - 6.3
Assists per game
Luka - 4.8
Cooper - 4.2
Steals for each about 1 per game and each about half a block per game.
Fairly even except for 3 point percentage which as noted Cooper needs to work on.
But I would take Cooper over Luka on defense all game every game and I don't think it's close.
Dejounte Murray is sitting 2 rows in front me
Tyran has like 5 dunks already

I’ve been saving this for the right moment:

I don't need any convincing on Knueppel. The three-point shooting is very, very real. The only question is how much additional volume he can handle without significantly degrading his efficiency. Offensively, he already looks the pre-injury version of Klay Thompson, which is really impressive for a rookie who only played one year in college.
Giannis is (fill in the blank)
GO!
Giannis is going to Toronto.😆
Giannis is a ****ing dumbass for trying to play on an injured calf (1Q he went back to the tunnel but came back out right away). Did he want to tear his Achilles???
