NBA Season - now 24/25

@mariner4life Curry ain’t going nowhere. He’s got 2 years left on that mammoth contract (final year is $60m, just crazy).
Klay is off contract so unless they can convince him to take a considerable haircut, there’s no way the Warriors should pay him even close to $43m they’ve just splashed out this season for him.
Other teams will definitely pay him $30m+ as he’s only 33yo and still has good years left. He could play under a different system and flourish in a new role more akin to what we saw post All-Star game (not tonight).
Dray and Wiggins both have 3 years left so unless they want out and do a Simmons, they will be there. Their contracts aren’t what you would label as attractive to other teams!

Warriors played like trash today. Was pretty lack lustre. Gave up too many offensive rebounds and gave away too many turnovers.
Klay was brick city. Kerr was messing with the lineups. Not enough out of Kaminga, Wiggins, CP3.
It’s a tough old road in the West and this version of the Dubs got found out.
Predictions:
Tomorrow - Heat and Bulls win
Saturday - Pelicans and Bulls win -
This is the best time of the season, 2-3 games of playoff basketball every day. Some great series going on as well.
Yesterday had a couple of outstanding finishes. The Nuggets may have broken the Lakers mentally with that comeback and that last shot.

Two cracking games, and lots of whining from the losing teams.
I don’t think my Mavs are going to get to the 2nd round. I fucking hate Harden, so they’ll be hard to support moving for forward too
Little faith!
I have a wager on them to go all the way at $41 - so I'm staying positive!

Low scoring but a good intense defensive game. I’m a Clippers supporter but I thought the Mavs bought the heat today and deserved the win.
@gt12 Clippers version of Harden is far more bearable

Watching the second half of the Wolves v Suns, Minnesota are a fun team to watch. They have Ant Man of course, but they pass the ball and find the open man regularly. KD looks like he will fail to lead a squad to the finals again. With lots of young squads, looking at you OKC and Cleveland, doing well in the playoffs, the youth movement is trying to push past the old guard

No way that will continue.
People (fairly) talk about Kyrie being a weird cat - but he's actually pretty consistent on the court these days. Kawhi on the other hand, has had one of the most bizarre careers of any current player. Can be so incredible, but you really just can't trust him.
Let's go Mavs!

Wolves are very good, and have genuine size to trouble Denver.
Boston are pretty lucky to be in the East...

Suns are the first out.
T-Wolves v Nuggets is going to be epic

I loves Ant Man. He's a beast, and plays the game with a big smile on his face
-
I’m not sure I’ve ever disliked a player as much as I do Embiid
He makes constant excuses for repeat failures in the post season, and he’s a fucking dirty prick

the NBA stars of the twenty teens are dead. This is no longer their league.
Curry didn't get out of the play in. LeBron nearly got swept. KD did get swept. PG, Kawhi (who is constantly hurt anyway) and Harden are now getting a touch up from Luka and the Mavs. Butler is gone (and didn't play).
This league now belongs to Wemby
Ok maybe a few other guys like Jokic, Doncic, Ant Edwards, SGA, Tatum are quite good too.

Did you watch it?
They looked gooood! Kyrie had one of those terrible box score / amazing games. Jeez he was good in big moments. But the whole team looked energised too, even Kleiber was great
Clippers by 10 in G6 in Dallas 🙈
-
And now the Bucks, with no Giannis, but a Doc Rivers, are out too. You could see that coming a mile off.
