Year Round Basketball Thread + NBA Fantasy League

[SirSamuel016]

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!

Do you guys watch Game of Zones?

that's one of my favorite episode this season, "half the defense, double the offense". typical D Antoni xD

 

[goldb]

There's a very strong chance the Warriors could sweep Cavs BUT I dislike Draymond Green too and I want rings for my man Kyrie...and LeBron too, I guess.

For Cavs to have a chance, they have to get that first game and gain momentum, otherwise I worry the doubts will begin to set in and I don't think a comeback like last year will be possible again. Even without Curry at his best, they have Durant.

 

[Kefka]

I don't have much against the Warriors, but fuck man! I don't wanna see Durant with a ring.

Looks like game 1 will be a blowout, but I hope the Cavs can come back.

 

[Sakazuki]

As a basketball coach, thats what I have to say about game one:

• No team focused on defense at all, it was a game decided only in errors. I would be really pissed if I was any of the coaches;
• KD did what LBJ did not: he came to the finals. LBJ did a double-double indeed, but was responsible for 8 turn overs. KD did more than 35 points without one.
• GSW had a bench, CLE not even closer. Korver has only one thing, and he not showed it tonight.

After this game, GSW has a sequence of 13-0 in the playoffs, and if they win sunday, will have the record of longest win streak in history.

I believe that they will achieve it. Green, whos is the hrart and spul of GSW is someone who really likes to proves himself, and will be very nice os his resume.

 

[Kefka]

Damn... That was such a demoralizing game for the Cavs. They fought extremely hard last night, with Kyrie finally showing up. But not even that is enough to beat one of the best teams of all time.

Can't see them coming back after that. They'll win game 4 only if the Warriors let 'em.

 

[goldb]

Like I said before, the Cavs needed to win the first game to upset the balance a bit and gain that upper hand but they were comprehensively beaten at the Oracle Arena and this was their last chance to get back into this series. It's gonna be a sweep now.

It's a shame to see Kyrie and LeBron putting up 35+ and near triple double numbers only to lose, but Warriors have more quality and Durant has been their MVP for these finals.

 

[scav]

Was out yesterday, could only watch the first half. Cavs played really well, can see those guys didn't give up. That been said the refs were disgusting.

@Belserion don't ever say shit again, he's a scrub. 3-5 in finals and he will never be Jordan. Where were you under the impression that you guys were gonna win? @Aizen

LOL what even is this? Some great players never even reach the finals. Hats off to Warriors they deserve it but this doesn't take anything from Lebron imo.

Now we gotta be fair, Lebron is a legend regardless. Warriors just were great through and through, gotta give it to them. Not really Lebron's fault IMO. That said, I never saw Jordon during his playing days, but from what I heard/saw (from highlights and such), he seems like a very different player. However, he seems to be the more consistent one in crunch time by a large margin, so I will agree with you on that.

This article says it all but the haters will see what they want to see to suit their ridiculous agenda. Guess it's not a team sport.

Warriors in 5
Celtics in 6

I thought it was a bad move for the Raptors to fire Casey but we will see what happens next season.

 

[scav]

Wasn't a bad move to fire him. he's a good coach but he choked and couldn't make any good adjustment. Brad Stevens got robbed. That been said i'm still surprised OKC didn't fire Donovan.

Suns and Kings got 1st and 2nd pick, i'm kinda curious who will draft Doncic and who will take Ayton. I kinda wanna see the duo Booker + Ayton but i'm pretty sure the Suns will take Doncic.

Rockets have a chance against GSW if they can win tonight.

Been saying it since the playoffs started, beside Lebron, Love and Korver Cavs this year are a bunch of scrubs with Lebron carrying them. And Ty Lue is an awful coach. Not sure why he didn't bench JR yesterday, cost them the game.

 

[ZeroKing]

I think it was a bad move, I think DeRozan is the one that choked and Casey is being scapegoated. Casey needs to get better at in-game adapting but it's mainly the failure of his star players.

I'm a Kings fan, I believe they will draft Doncic but I hope not. I think the Suns will take Ayton as he already has a fan base in Arizona and they need someone to replace Chandler.

If the Rockets win then yes they have a chance but if they lose then I believe it's over for them.

Ty Lue is the second worst coach in the NBA to me. LeBron James can't carry them for much longer especially against an athletic team like the Celtics that are lead by the second best coach in the NBA.

Cavaliers vs. Warriors again... for the fourth fucking time...

My condolences go out to Kobe Bryant's/the other passengers' family & friends. Events like these always feel so surreal.
