Random NBA Observations 2024 - 2025

[Schadenfreude]

Lakers have a good narrative with damn near every team that's worth a damn in the West as well as the well seasoned Celtics rivalry the league was built on

And let's say Cleveland makes it out the east, you still got Bronald and Bronald jr. back in The Land about to win a ring for LWO

first ever father son championship AND first ever player to win a ring for and against their hometown, with Slovenia watching too



Refs gonna be on maximum bullshyt this postseason

that's a negative on that, a Lakers/Cavs finals is no bueno

I could go for 7 games of Cleveland vs OKC if all the games were like the first matchup in Cleveland though -- best game of the year by far.

Without our defensive anchor for every game but 1 as well

Mitchell Robinson aint the needle mover you want him to be Unfortunately. Sorry to burst your bubble but he has to come OUTSIDE of the paint and defend. You already have KAT and Brunson being bullied.

Brunson really putting in his claim for that 1st team spot



to Chauncey for hanging in there and turning that team around

I'm looking at Tankathon and the Playoff Standings, Portland is currently slotted in the 10th spot in the lottery with a record of 27-34

The Magic are slotted with the 15th pick with a record of 29-33. If Portland finishes with a better record than Orlando, but also lower in their respective conference, will they get a worse pick than the Magic if let's say they finish 8 or 9 in the East?



I only care because Portland's 1st goes to Chicago if it lands outside of the lottery

@42 Monks I want the names of these unserious players

The Athletic is reporting that Charlotte Hornets coach Charles Lee has tried very hard to change the losing culture there this season but failed on almost every level: “This is just a tesm of unserious players” 😳 NBAThreads #NBA #basketball

Its weird. I believe it goes by record for the 14 teams that dont make the playoffs. So even if Portland gets a better record, if Orlando makes it through the play in, they will pick later.

Basically, the lottery is the 14 teams that dont make the 1st round of the playoffs.

So the Mavs get rid of Luka, and THEN announce that they are RAISING ticket prices by 8.5% for next season?

They really trying to have someone burn that arena down, huh?

It’s over unfortunately. The spot is Mitchell’s
