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!

 

[SirSamuel016]

All I kept seeing were app notifications about massive trades then one final one about a vetoed trade

Can't believe scav went out of his way to reverse me getting an injured LeBron man

Still genuinely disappointed my legit trade of Durant + Whiteside for Kawhi got reversed though

Why is Whiteside a plus in this trade? It's a negative asset, you literally picked him up hours (a day?) before you attempted the trade.

So then it's Durant (minus) for Kawhi and no one would ever do that, KD played 22 (and a half?) games so far this season. Kawhi not only has a higher average but also provided twice as many points this season, being the best in his position.

john wall out for good this season. rip bob

Did Wall ever play for bob?

 

[goldb]

Did Wall ever play for bob?

Yeah. Doesn't seem like a severe injury but they won't risk him for the rest of the season.

 

[Hardy]

It was a bad joke

 

[goldb]

It was a bad joke

He has been a bad joke this season. I fought every instinct to not drop him at the beginning of the season due to his previous injury and then this?

LOL to be fair though, when he DID play, he put up good numbers for me. It's a big loss for me. @Belserion I think it's only fair for you to bench Giannis for the rest of our match up .

After a "knee injury" that kept him out like 10 games but he had no trouble jumping around on the sidelines and lost me so many points? He owes me at least two 100+ games to make it up

She really wants to destroy me with just one player.

You know what's always funny? when you add a player who's been averaging good numbers to your squad, only for them to then drop 6pts. I'm looking at you Edmond Sumner.

Who the hell is Edmon Summer

happen to me all the time

 

[Hardy]

I had the opposite happen, I got Indy's backup big and he dropped 50+ fpoints '-'

 

[goldb]

The player who's going in my death note next.

 

[scav]

Noooo derrick white out for the season. This game is depressing

 

[M3J]

Three of my players are out, two are probably out for a while. I'm gonna lose to syx, even though I wasn't doing too bad

how you say you gonna lose when you have like 10 acquisitions left.? choose 2 guys easily replaceable and swap them everyday for people playing

westbrook totally back to MVP form. if they get 8th seed, 1st seed Nets are in trouble if harden not back

 

[goldb]

I don't think he's changed much since he got there but the team's results have finally started to match his numbers. So that's a scary sight because the team are now coordinating better and role players doing their part too.

It would make an tough and interesting match up if they get 8th seed, yeah. I'd probably still take Nets in the series, just because they have more experienced players, even if Harden is out for a while longer.

Also I'm really happy Suns are back in playoffs, especially for Booker. Someone of his talent, needs to be playing at that level each season to really test himself.

Well he wasn't healthy the first half of the season. his quad injury was bothering him and was out many time.
And you also right, the team got much better. Def gonna be a good first round matchup specially considering how WB turn into super sayan mode whenever he face KD

Sometimes watching Westbrook play is like he's got a chip on his shoulder. To me though, he doesn't have anything to prove. He could not win a championship (and it's unlikely that he will so late in his career now) and I'd still consider him a great player and definitely one of my favourites.

I loved his old match ups with KD, when he was still at OKC but I think that drama was mostly pushed by the media and fans. Russ hates every opponent equally; an equal opportunity kinda guy lol.

Also regarding the playoffs, there's a VERY good chance (with the way things are going) that the Lakers v Clippers could be 1st Round match up.

do I have a chance when I most likely won't get guys that will score enough points?
