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!

Go Serbia! <3 It might as well be wishful thinking on my part. But I hope to see a good final along the lines of the ones that Yugoslavia and USA once had, 2002 mostly, tho 1/4 final:

 

[raDar]

Damn, the FRA vs SER game was nuts. Nicolas Batum almost pulled a comeback by himself. Too bad, I was rooting for France mainly for Boris Diaw. Serbia is just much more talented. If only they had Parker, Noah and others like De Colo and Ajinca playing, that would have been nice.

I'll be surprised if USA doesn't win the gold medal. This tournament has just been too easy for them.

 

[zelllogan]

Mark cuban is right. Those international competitions are a joke. Imo, it should simply be stopped.

 

[Kaiten]

Paul Pierce is my new favorite player.

 

[Faust]

Jordan X Slam Dunk, Air Jordan VI

 

[TheMoa]

Season just started, great game ins San Antonio

Lakers and Houston... urgh
no point guard production... actually, no wing production outside of jump shoter Kobe
The guys can't play defense and Scott isn't giving minutes to Randle and Ed Davis, I think they're the best frontcourt combo... long season around

 

[Faust]

Bad opening game for LeBron (5-15 FG, 8 TOs). 41 Bench Points by the Knicks while only 12 Bench Points by the Cavs.

 

[FrostyMouse]

Yeah, rather poorly played by the Cavs.

 

[M3J]

Bulls owned the Knicks, and the Knicks beat the Cavs. Hmm.

 

[zelllogan]

Bulls owned the Knicks, and the Knicks beat the Cavs. Hmm.

It's not like it's that much of a surprise. Cavs will need time to adjust. Complete new team from players to coach + the emotional weight for Lebron. It wouldn't be weird to see two first poor months from the cavs.

 

[Faust]

Bulls owned the Knicks, and the Knicks beat the Cavs. Hmm.

The Bulls lost against the Cavs at OT, 108-114. D. Rose sprained his ankle.

 

[M3J]

The Sixers are absolute trash.

 

[Faust]

Memphis vs. San Antonio Triple Overtime.

Mavericks acquire Rajon Rondo

 

[zelllogan]

The 8 best teams of the NBA are in the west.
In a playoff serie, I don't see any team of the east defeading any top west team (the current first 7 + OKC). This is ridiculous.

Rose did well (saved us thanks to Hinrich), but too many TOs. Dunno how we beat hte Warriors but lost the next two games, one of them against one of the worst teams in the league. But Mirotic played against the Warriors, while I don't remember him much against the Lakers or Sun.
