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!

Looks like the baby goat Tyler had himself a game last night.

lol saw the recap, Herro did it again

One more game until the Celtics drop out of playoffs! I wouldn't mind seeing the Nuggets go to the finals though, if they do well against the Lakers. The last game was not it, they were up by 10+ points and then lost that lead for a while.

Lol people on reddit and twitter saying the officiating was garbage in the last 2 minutes. It was Scott foster and Tony Brothers, i dont know what people expect. they're the 2 worst refs i can think of. the good thing is, we won't see them again this serie.

 

[goldb]

I've just seen the highlights and one of the commentators was going nuts about a foul or something called on Butler but I think Tatum travelled.

You need to do 5 steps to walk in the NBA lol

Miami being one game away from the NBA Finals is something none of their fans could've imagined as a possibility coming into this bubble season, but you really can't say that they don't deserve it or were lucky to get here. They bounced the 2x MVP-led team with the best season record in the NBA for the last 2 years and could've swept them too.
They came in as underdogs still against Celtics, who are a very talented young team with a great coach and they're still showing that their team is just as talented and maybe even more determined. Outside of LeBron getting his 4th championship, I'd be so happy if Miami not only got to the Finals but also won the whole damn thing. Just love their work!

AD has 12 of LAL's 20 points. Crazy

i picked the Heat at the start but i didn't believe we'd go that far. thought i was reaching thinking we could beat the Bucks. But Butler have been huuuuge for us, nobody expected Herro to be that good or Dragic to be healthy again after 2 season of injuries. Bam is Bam, no surprise there lol. But nah i don't think we came as underdogs against the Celtics after beating the Bucks. People been acting as if the Bucks are bum.

Good thing they have Howard lmao

At least tonight Superman been doing his part

I was thinking of D'Antoni. Bucks should hire him, he's a genius when it comes to offense and that's what they need.

--- Double Post Merged, Sep 25, 2020 ---

As for the 76ers, their FO don't understand basketball. so it doesn't matter what coach they get unless they put a proper team together

--- Double Post Merged, Sep 25, 2020 ---

lol saw it on reddit

sadly its meaningless, scott foster will be back again and do his shit

 

[M3J]

Man, unless the Nuggets start doing better, I kinda don't want to see them in the playoffs only to get swept.

 

[scav]

lol i fear the nuggets. you can never count them out

 

[M3J]

I mean, they were well in the lead and nearly blew that to a 3-point difference at one point

 

[scav]

when the nuggets had the lead??? you're not talking about the current game?

--- Double Post Merged, Sep 25, 2020, Original Post Date: Sep 25, 2020 ---

that been said they're coming back, im not gonna watch 4QT tho. too sleepy, hope they win

"Nearly blew" would imply the previous game where they won. The current game is just proving that they may not be ready for the finals, but it could be about matchups as well. I just want a hard-fought finals, yanno?

Nuggets gonna have to do something otherwise they're out

 

[Newkerzy]

From this point on in the series, it’s all a psychological battle. Nuggets have been through this twice, all they need to do is remain locked in just as they have before. The Nuggets playing this cool would and should unnerve opponents.

Narrative dictates that LeBron, who has played this game before and seen what Nuggets can do in the last two series, wins the series. But that entirely depends on the rest of the team......and the Nuggets’ bloodlust.

 

[M3J]

LeBron and Rondo have playoffs experience, and I don't think the Nuggets do.
