NBA Season - now 24/25

Might as well been the Dallas Lakers today wit the cheers for Luka and LeBron coming from the stands.
Dropping 45 on your emotional return game and do it so efficiently will help the young man feel better.
Despite the loss, Mavs have sealed a play in spot with the Suns choking down the stretch and losing their 8th straight. Such a shame Kyrie is out who at an individual level was having a phenomenal season, but I would’ve loved to have seen him play with AD and the other very good pieces the Mavs have.
On the Malone sacking, the only shock is the timing. Thought they may have waited until the season end.
-
Look, I'm not going to choose another team and do a Nepia, but fuck the Mavs.
It was cool to see Luka light them up. I'll come around once that fluffybunny Nico has been pissed off.
West looks fucking cool, no idea who will be 3-8. How good.

Clippers v WarriorsThe Rockets did rest nearly their whole starting 5 in fairness, and I assume we will right until the start of the playoffs.

More that the Clippers got the win and are desperate to try and get home court because their road record sucks. Only Dallas has a worse home record of the top 10 West teams.

LeBron two shots shy of surpassing Reggie Miller on 3s. It was a big deal when Ray Allen surpassed him (about a decade ago, or so) and I think this moves Reggie down to 7th on the alltime chart.

What’s interesting is that over their respective careers LeBron and Reggie have averaged the exact same number of 3pt attempts per game (4.7). Reggie slightly higher makes of 1.8 vs LeBron’s 1.7.

@voodoo said in NBA Season - now 24/25:
Also interesting - if Klay retires or gets injured, Buddy Hield is a legit shot to climb to 5th all time…
Now, this is not interesting but excuse me I'm bored waiting for a flight...... all top 10 have a California connection....
1- Steph - Warriors
2 Harden - from LA
3 Allen - born on a military base in Merced
4 Lillard - from Oakland
5 Thompson - Dad was a Laker
6 LeBron - ended career as a Laker
7 Miller - from Riverside
8 Korver - from LA
9 George - from Palmdale
10 Carter - drafted by the Warriors (most tenuous one)To shoehorn Hield in there he won the 3 pt contest as a Kings player.
-
This is a funny stat simply due to the contrast LeBron is number one in career pts, Kareem Abdul Jabbar is number 2 - LeBron has 2,500+ made threes - Kareem has the single solitary one. LBJ has a 7,500 pt head start on Kareem, lol.

He’s a dirty little fucker - the move where he dribbles around someone in open court then stops right in front of them so they run into him to draw a foul just does my head in. It’s up there with kicking the leg out on a shot attempt (Steph), the reaching the arms through and up (Harden) and general flopping (Bron)
I’m all about TFG and Wemby, 7 footers with the right attitude 💪
-
some interesting Game 1s of the play offs proper
Pacers pumping the Bucks
As expected, fuck all separating the Clippers and the Nuggets
Knicks and Pistons looks a close series as well, 1-1 as of a couple of hours ago
Timberwolves blowing out the Lakers on the road
Thunder getting 50 in front of the Grizzlies in the third, and then making a statement by staying there
Celtics easily over the Magic, and Cavs the same over the Heat
Butler and Curry taking care of the Rockets on the road.Be interesting to see which series involves a team making adjustments and competing now.
-
@mariner4life some of those Curry 3s were Olympic Games esque. They’ll be pleased with the defensive effort keeping them to sub 90 points but they did ship a shed load of offensive boards.
-
One was fucking ridiculous. Any other player gets roasted for a fundamentally awful option
And Steph swishes it
