NBA Season - now 24/25
-
Last year's two finalists are now out after struggling through injury ravaged seasons. I think the short turnaround cost them. The Lakers will have many questions about their personnel for next year after off-season moves didn't pay off. They had 3 bigs in Drummond, Harrell and Gasol that didn't seem to compliment each other, they have no 3 point shooting, and Schroeder appears to be a bust. And the West is only getting stronger.
Miami need another prominent piece, and they have some players like Robinson coming off super cheap contracts

Some fascinating series coming up, headlined by Brooklyn vs the Bucks
Suns v Nuggets is one that could go the distance.
If you’re a stats nut, this season theses two teams offensively are basically identical it’s almost uncanny.
Suns - 115.3 ppg, 43.3 FGM, 13.1 3PM, 37.8% 3pt%, 15.6 FTM
Nugs - 115.1 ppg, 43.2 FGM, 12.9 3PM, 37.7% 3pt%, 15.7 FTM

Bucks handled the Nets comfortably in the RS
We'll see if play-offs with the big 3 make a difference

Yeah that will be a good one. Nuggets doing great despite missing Murray

Yesterday’s game was something else. Blazers went ice cold in the last 5 minutes of the game and barely scored. This was after being on fire in the first half. Joker came alive in that 2nd half given it was MPJ in the first half.
There’s a supporting cast there for Joker, but he still needs to score big. In saying that, that is what makes this match up with Phoenix so fascinating because they are in the same boat with Booker.

Their ace is CP3. Makes everyone better on all levels

@act-crusader it looks like Dame might be re thinking his place in Portland too. That man is easily my favourite current player. But he needs to stay with it.. They need to get a consistent 6th man and a scoring big body. Like Aldridge, previously.

Apparently he has 3 years on his contract. Probably not going anywhere, unless he agitates for a move
-
@raznomore @canefan and $100m+ left on those 3 years for Dame....
I think he will agitate (as he has already tweeted overnight) over the next few months not to move but for the organisation to make changes. Stotts is cooked. Melo, Covington, Powell and possibly CJ are all bargaining chips.
Nurkic on the other hand seems to be agitating for a move!
-
I love his game, but maaaan is Luka a whiner.
-
@act-crusader I hope he stays and the blazers put together a roster to win

Sounds like Stotts and the club have mutually agreed to part ways. He did a great job in a small market, but just couldn't get them over the top. I think that is a lot to do with the front office not being able to build a strong enough team

@gt12 said in NBA Season 20/21:
Mavs currently choking hard down the stretch, Clips will win this and then it will be all on.
Jeez, after initial promise in NY, KP just isn't the second option they thought he would be. Or the one they need

@raznomore said in NBA Season 20/21:
@canefan nah he's a bust. Easily broken as well.
Need to trade him to some gumby franchise
-
@act-crusader yeah I was alluding to that tweet. He's never been a guy to come out and do that with his organisation. Put them or his team mates on blast. But when you're as good as that in a small market as @canefan said, it's bloody tough to not speak out. I hope it's more about getting the right pieces and not about getting out. But can you imagine him at the Lake show...
-
@canefan he could be good for somewhere wins don't matter. Like OKC
Mavs where hoping for Dirk 2.0 but he's just not that guy.
Would be interesting to see what happens with Andre Drummond after his season. Hes only on a one year with the Lakers and he could fit in nicely on a lot of teams. Mavs included. I only just found out he's only 27 too. His game is evolving and he could give them a bit more hustle and edge.
