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!

round 2 just started, dont get ahead of yourself
Heat and Spurs gonna nail it

When the season started, you said "Spurs, that old men team, they won't get anywhere"... now "They are gonna nail it!"

You kinda do that with every sport/event

 

[scav]

Spurs still an old men team, i never said they gonna win anything
but they gonna pass this round

 

[TheMoa]

Spurs trashed the Grizzlies... I really didn't expect that, especially how it happened.
Tonight we'll have a game 7 and I expect the Heat to win... Wade and Bosh have been MIA, they'll probably show up.
I'll be cheering for the Pacers nevertheless

I think it's impossible for Wade to show up, he's been like this ever since he battled the injury this post-season. The best thing he could bring in the table is his defense on Hill and Stephenson. And Bosh is Bosh. I don't expect him to toughen up and battle it out in the paint against Hibbert and West. If ever, he could just hope those perimeter shots get in the basket. But we never know.

As a Spur, I wouldn't mind having Miami in the Finals (it'd be sweeter to defeat them) but I'm rooting for the Pacers on this one. For the sake of LeBron realizing he's back in Cleveland once again, lol. And to piss David Stern.

Oh, scav, you're in full Heat apparel. And I'm not surprised there exist such image on the internet. But wtf?

Man I hope they lose

enjoy while u can

What annoys me more than the collectively horrible play by the Spurs' Big Three (give credit to Heat's D) was T-Mac's 7mins to play in garbage time but never got the to have a score. FML

Too bad I won't be able to watch Game 4. Blame the time zone, I have to go to work. Anyways, Game 4 will be very important, especially for Miami. And if LeBron really wants to at least drag this series back to South Beach then I expect him to have a superb performance. Like 36-12-7 type of game. So yeah, I'm expecting (but absolutely not hoping) Miami to take this game.

And I don't know what's the update to Parker's "grade 1 hamstring strain" but the Spurs badly need him, if not for Game 4, for the rest of the series. If the Spurs win Game 4 then I tell you this series is freaking OVER. T-Mac wins his ring and automatically be included to the Top 10 GOAT discussion.

 

[xi0]

I can't see how T-Mac can be considered a Top 10 all time player, ring or not.

 

[raDar]

Nah, just kidding. Though I wish he'd have enough votes to be a Hall of Famer though. You can't deny he'd been great early in his career pre-injury.

Anyways, Parker was announced to play tonight. I doubt he'll get his usual minutes though.

And wow, JKidd was Brooklyn's new HC. I can see him taming DWill's ego, though. So it might be a good move by the Nets.

 

[xi0]

Oh yeah, I think he's definitely HOF worthy.

 

[raDar]

I knew it, I haven't seen the highlights yet but I was surprised Wade would have stats like that considering his past performance this whole post-season. Makes things interesting, and yeah, I'm a bit nervous for Game 5.

 

[scav]

good this is going back to MIAMI. know we all know how its gonna end
