NBA Season - now 24/25

On another note, all three of those top contenders are 'international' players, across two continents, neither of which are even North America. Speaks volumes for the growth of the sport globally.

Grizzlies beat the Suns without Morant, Bane, Jackson Jr and Adams.

Great to see Brooks back and firing.

They are not going to be able to hold on to all these great young players. Teams will come knocking with the cheque book

Clippers torch the Bucks (they didn’t have their big 3). Covington on fire with 10 3s.

Nash: Simmons out of regular season, play-in

Still dealing with a herniated disk in his back, Ben Simmons has been ruled out of the regular season, according to Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash, who also said he would be "shocked" if Simmons appeared in the Nets' play-in game next week.

Clearly the Nets didn't trade for Simmons to help them immediately..... 🙄 🤷‍♂️

The Lakers have been eliminated. LBJ picked the wrong time to get injured.

Probably for the best

There is talk that the best thing for them to do is waive Westbrick and spread his salary over three years.

@gt12 Russ will get the blame for the poor season but AD was more of the problem.

Absolutely but they need need to do something about Russ too

I was thinking, with Lebron on contract for another year, MJ should trade all his stars for him as one last "fuck you" to the GOAT-pretender. Imagine the ignominy for Lebron of getting traded and playing for MJ in Washington on a team with no help.

Absolutely savage. Do you mean Charlotte though, not Washington?

@tewaio oops

Final day of the regular season, and first string players will be watching everywhere

In the West the play-ins were decided a while back, with the T-Wolves hosting the Clippers in the "major" and Pels hosting the Spurs in the "minor". Clippers suddenly look really good and i expect them to win. Spurs will win too if Murray is healthy.

Nets v Cavs and Hawks v Hornets in the East

After that the fun starts.

Oh, interesting stat i just read. Trey Young the first person to lead the league in total points and total assists in a single season in both the NBA and the NCAA

@mariner4life Regular season points totals before todays games
Minnesota For 9387 Against 9167
Clippers For 8752 Against 8800

Will worsen a bit with Minnesota currently getting woopped by Chicago.

@mariner4life You know the rules, you pick the stats that support what you want!

Minnesota Timberwolves - Chicago Bulls 120:124

USA: NBA

On January 6 Celtics were the 11th seed in the East.

They finish the season the 2nd seed in the East.

Impressive turnaround.

Looks like Frank Vogel has been fired as Lakers coach. It's not really his fault that they assembled such a flawed team, but as always it is easier to fire the coach than get rid of the players. This will not be the end of the pain, as LBJ AD and Westbrick command a huge chunk of salary which will hamper any attempts to retool

[voodoo]

This is one of the best passes I've ever seen
