Ipsi said: Why no NBA thread i wanna talk nba trade deadline lol

There will be basketball. Everybody collected enough baskets, and we have a ball. Just don't hit anybody with a bat.

Cooper Flagg seems like he's going to be a two-way beast, but the team is mostly terrible otherwise and so hard to watch without competent PG play. The sting of the Luka trade still hurts. I hate loving Dallas sports.

 

[Ipsi]

Huzzah!

Also AD is sitting out the rest of the season

 

[Ipsi]

Been a while since we had a good nba brawl

Kawhi Leonard popping off during the World v Stripes game today

 

[DarkShadowXI]

I liked the new ASG format before the old dudes ran out of gas and gave up.

Good to see him back, hope they manage his minutes

Underwhelming numbers! JK. I think he looked good, want to see the 30 point JT.

I think closer to postseason. They are already doing well without him

[juliushandle]

remember when euro players were known as soft? then the eastern block euros came from war torn countries. you can't scare those fools, they've seen death.

 

[Celcius]

I saw this coming after the recent reports about him. I assume Giannis will be gone this offseason too.

 

[Celcius]

No Luka, No Austin Reeves, No problem
Luke Kennard looking amazing out there tonight for the Lakers and Lebron still ballin
Lakers go up 1-0 against the Rockets without KD
I'm feeling a lot more hopefully about this series now.

 

[Ipsi]

Wemby wins DPOY, in a first unanimous vote

 

[juliushandle]

so KD can't beat a Laker team without both Luka and Austin Reaves? Lebron is 41 yrs old and KD is gonna lose this series? wow.

 

[MaestroMike]

 

[Ozzie666]

Sometimes, big men are just too big. Bad luck for Wemby. Just look at the players similar in size and see how they held up injury wise. Not great, Yao, Porz come to mind. Bad luck for the fans too, he is really impressive. I hope he is back for game 3 or 4.

 

[Celcius]

KD came back and played 41 minutes but it didn't matter
Lebron at age 41 led all scorers last night with the 28-8-7
The GOAT isn't losing this round

 

[Celcius]

Lakers go up 3-0.
At first I was saying Lakers in 5 but I feel like a sweep is coming.

Rockets win a game, but it'll be tough to beat them in LA

Celtics' Brad Stevens named NBA Basketball Executive of the Year

Stevens has now won the award twice, after winning the award in 2023-2024.

sports.yahoo.com

Well deserved, and Mazzula should be a lock for coach of the year. No one predicted the Celtics would pull off what they did after losing Tatum for most of year, Holiday, Porzingis, etc. Was supposed to be a bridge year and they are favorites to win the East

Would love a Spurs /Celtics final

Good lord the Knicks/Hawks game

 

[DetectiveBananas]

3 games tonight that could be close outs or lead ups to a Game 7. I'll go with Magic, Cavs, Rockets.

 

[Celcius]

Lakers blow out the Rockets and make it to the next round. They really thought Lebron was going to blow a 3-0 lead lol.
Hopefully we can get Luka back against the defending champs next round though...

 

[FoxMcChief]

I'm very happy my Lakers pulled off the win tonight. I honestly wasn't expecting them to make it out of this round.

Hopefully you forgot your Fanduel password tonight friend.

If you could predict another Magic win before game 7 I'd appreciate it.

 

[DetectiveBananas]

And this is why I don't gamble on sports . At least the Cavs lost a close one with that crazy shot.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

No Tatum tonight for the Celtics

 

[Celcius]

Goodbye Boston!!
Glad to see Embiid have a great game and win game 7.

 

[Ipsi]

Dang would of loved a Tatum Wembanyama match up

 

[demigod]

That is some bullshit ejection on Wembanyama. He was held by 2 TWolves. Everyone who plays basketball has done that when they are being tangled up.

I don't know. In slow motion it looked pretty egregious. lol even his teammate looked shocked. I don't think they had a choice once reviewed. But fortunately there won't be a suspension for next game.

Western Conference final: Oklahoma City Thunder vs the San Antonio Spurs

 

[Celcius]

I'm glad that OKC is going up against the Spurs who are 4-1 against them for the season. Would love to see the Spurs win another championship.

Only caught the second half of the Cavs/Pistons game today and Cavs were already up by like 25 pts. Teams put their scrubs in the 4th and Cavs actually ended up winning by about 40. lol

A bit of dickishness. Cavs winning by probably 30 at one pt and Max Strus was still bombing 3 pointers. He nailed a 3 pt shot. Then next ball Cavs took up the court he tried to bomb another one. lol. And then he got into a small commotion with a Pistons guy.

Playoffs is fair game, bury them until it's done, dusted and burried. Leave no chance for collapse. Terrible result for the Pistons after a good year, they obviously need 1 more option for scoring.

The true final is in the West, it's a shame but are we in for a treat. I'm curious if the Knicks will maintain their level of play, or just get stomped by the West, if they make it that is.

I need another Danhausen curse.

 

[Toots]

Love to see Wemby win, hopes the spurs makes it all the way this year

 

[Ipsi]

Game 1 of Spurs/Thunder tonight

 

[demigod]

There was a conspiracy theory because ABC leaked an ad a day before showing it was Cavs vs Knicks. I wonder how many people bet on the Cavs and won from it.

Oh shit. Thanks! Habs/Sabres game 7 tonight. But I'll flip back and forth with NBA now.
