Seems this post is pinned so here are the 2025/26 award predictions that I've received so far! If you haven't sent already then feel free to shoot me your list!

Rose was awesome and clutch, that floater was beautiful. I seriously laughed at the Knicks losing, I'm actively rooting against them because of a friend.

Also heard the Heat lost two games. Nice start there for LeFlop.

someone still having trouble getting over the opening game

No need to read too much into the games, but Nets-Heat was still a good game, especially the last quarter and a half, to be specific. Even at this point, I can easily say Nets will have chemistry troubles, since they have too many guys to share the ball with. They made some promising plays and they made some terrible ones. The key for them will be (staying healthy aside, since it's the key of every team, basically) Joe Johnson's place, since he has been accustomed to the go to guy in the iso role for more than half a decade.
Not much thing to say about Heat. They are the same team, with no major changes. If Oden could hit the floor and do something, it'd be brilliant for them, but that's a long shot at this point, apparently.

Rookie Watch: Oladipo and Caldwell-Pope have been silently solid. Nedovic can't find a niche for himself in the rotation of Warriors backcourt so far. Last but not least, Gal Mekel had a pretty good game last night. Cheering for him, since I've always been a fan of his play.

SIXERS FYEAH!! UNDEFEATED!

MCW is awesome. They're all awesome. I'm bandwagonning now.

And while we're at it, I'll leave this here for scav's pleasure...

it's funny how m3j is nowhere to be found after game like that

 

[M3J]

The Heat and the Bulls are 1-2. Funny thing is, Rose is likely rusty given he hasn't played in a long time, while the Heat aren't. Plus, they have far more good players than Bulls or most of the teams.

But 76ers are doing well, goin 3-0.

 

[Hakuteiken]

Rose will need a lot of time to be more effective in the offense. Right now, he's struggling a lot. He isn't your typical sharpshooter, but he can shoot the ball better than this.
Sixers are off to a nice start. If Turner can play like that consistently, my draft-day guess that he'd end up being the best player of his class (ahead of J.Wall) will have a chance to pan out.

They're looking awful so far. While the Bull's are hitting almost all of their 3's.

They're quite good at killing streaks.

 

[scav]

He always had little basketball IQ. Now that his athleticism is letting him down, he just can't play the game at all.

 

[raDar]

Really terrible night the NBA had. Three elite players suffering major injuries (and they're all players I like!!).

I feel for Bulls fans, especially DRose fans. But be glad it was not his other ACL.

NBA should really think about reducing the number of regular season games.

 

[scav]

didn't watch tonight game, rose got injured again?

 

[raDar]

Actually it was last night against Portland (non-contact). Based on his MRI today, it was a torn meniscus.

The other two were Marc Gasol (Grade-2 sprained MCL, also non-contact), which is estimated to be out for 10 weeks, and Andre Iguodala with his hamstring, not sure if torn or just a sprain.

 

[scav]

is it bad is i laugh at Rose? xD

Bulls are just that awesome. They killed the Heat's streak last season, and now it's the Pacers' turn. Glad the Knicks are playing like shit though, they're suckin so bad.

Man, it's horrible to see Rose being injured again. Hope he, Marc, and Iguodala recover as soon as possible

stopping a streak ain't awesome, doing a streak is the awesome part. at some point, team having streaks get tired cuz every team give them their best and it's always a little team that come and stop the streak. pacers streak not a big deal, people already forgot that. u get proud cuz they're stopping streak? how bout they start doing streak if they're that awesome?
