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!

 

[Hardy]

I want to Rockets to win, they can give us a good surprise in round 2 if WB play like he did before getting injured. I'm positive if the Thunder win, they might be swept by the Lakers in round 2

...I think the Lakers will walk over either tbh ^^'

 

[Ramen]

Wow.............Utah just blew that lead.

 

[scav]

but if they sweep they gonna go to the final well rested. i want the lakers out

 

[Hardy]

Honestly I think they will barely have a hard time up until the finals when they play the Celtics. I much rather have the Lakers do well than these Clippers fwiw

I feel like the Clippers are the most hated team since GSW Durant era. I don't know if because of one particular player or just their band of misfits who now have championship calibre players in PG13 and Kawhi.

I of course want to see the Lakers win it all but it'll be tough playing Clippers in the Conference finals; they have to get a LOT better to get through a best of 7 and then possibly playing Celtics who are already playing so well. It's gonna be fun, there's 3-4 teams with very good chances of winning it all.

 

[scav]

People hate Clippers for 3 reason
1. Pat bev
2. Marcus Morris
3. Everyone love Doncic atm

The whole team has awful personalities, not just those two, but yeah.

Also it's easy to dislike superteams.

Never hated the warriors fwiw

If Denver can overcome being gassed I can see them upsetting the Clippers in the first place.

I would love that. The rest of the roster need to step up their numbers to help regularly; the likes of Bol Bol could be could for a few mins to change things up (especially since he can also hit threes...kinda) but Porter Jr really needs to step up and join the other two guys on a more consistent level.

Lou will and kawhi are likeable.

 

[goldb]

Yeah can't really hate Lou Will; besides him going to the strip club when he left the bubble (which was dumb), he's a likeable guy. Kawhi is Kawhi, you have to be a dick to hate him. Fun guy. I used to like PG13 but he talks too much, he needs to take a page out of Kawhi's book, be humble until you actually even make a conference final.

 

[Hardy]

Lou will and kawhi are likeable.

The same Williams that broke quarantine with a "personal matters" excuse to go to a strip club?

Same Kawhii that forced his exit in san Antonio?

 

[scav]

PG is an ass even before his comments, he cheated on Doc's daughter with a stripper ( that he married now i think ). Funny Seth curry is currently married to Doc's daughter so it added another layer to the Clips - Mavs serie

still Lou is quite a nice guy. he made a mistake and expressed regrets.

forgot you're a Spurs fan. Well Uncle Dennis is a pain in the ass

Oh there was a clip of Seth after a lay up and he said something to PG13, it's not until now that you wrote this that I remembered he married Doc's daughter. Oh wow...

Fuck brook lopez starting hot

Refs trying hard to keep Bucks into the game

 

[Hardy]

So uh, where is Giannis playing next season? My money is on the 76ers

 

[goldb]

Giannis AND Embiid together? Damn, that'd be powerful.
Did Bledsoe play last night? Because I don't know if shooters are the problem for Giannis or needing a good PG.

Well, they would probably have to give up on Embiid for the trade to work '-''' that or Simmons and a very fat package.

Hoping he doesn't go to the warriors. They would have to give their soul to get him but would basically have a guaranteed chip (and if Giannis likes it there... Several more lol).

I couldn't even follow the game, I assume scav knows better

Giving up 2/3 of the Big 3 in the Warriors is a deal-breaker. They could maybe let Draymond go, but they would probably have to get a really, really good offer to give up one of their foundational pieces. Klay is off-limits. If the Warriors learned anything from “the Last Dance”, it’s that you don’t undercut the #2 guy on your team, who’s also the guy your team’s Alpha is closest to.

Was thinking mostly of anyone but the Splash bros and the 20 picks they have amassed these years.

If your core is Curry-Klay-Giannis-Dray-FA big your bench could be filled with us and still win lol.
