NBA 2025-26 NBA Thread

The refs are gifting SGA again this year. If this continues all season long, the Thunder will be damn near unbeatable.
 
scott is losing faith in humanity's ability to decode sarcasm :p
 
I guess i’m the only one enamored by SGA’s style of play… his game is very technical, which I like. The way he weaves/slithers through defenses and his jumpshots are almost robotic like Nephew.
 
the fouls he draws aren’t fouls. The fouls butler draws aren’t fouls. The fouls harden used to draw weren’t fouls. If you design a play so that you jump into a guy, that guy didn’t foul you. If you lift your arms up into someone else’s arms - also not a foul.

This should be easier to figure out.
 
Comes down to this with Shai…if you’re a person who shoots a basketball without the intention of it going in, and with the intention of drawing a foul - you are a person without personal or professional integrity and deserve a hell of a lot of shit for it. Butler is the same. Embiid is the same.

You are trying to win a basketball game on technicalities instead of playing your opponent straight up. That is foul.

Shai deserves to the back of the top 5 for this, don’t care how many awards he won. The thunder should be considered a highly cheap team who does not deserve respect.

It’s not like every player would do what Shai does if they could. He’s a particular bitch.

Fouls in the current NBA? Yeah, obviously. It's a league where a player can leap into defenders and there's practically no defense allowed against guards like him. Against bigger players? Sure. But he can game the system.

What he does wouldn't work fifteen or twenty years ago.

You couldn’t touch the 80s Lalers

Jordan was the worse

You couldn’t breathe on that MF

“the current NBA”
 
Atlanta beat Orlando after the Magic were up. That sucks.

Dallas coughing up one to Washington at home. Maybe they just suck.

Detroit about to beat Houston in Houston, who start out two games in the loss column.

As long as Spurs can get good seeding (top 4 in west), Wemby definitely has a good chance to be MVP as he is also the best defensive player.

The media narrative would help a lot as well. ESPN hyping Wemby would definitely help

Yup agree. But luka averging 40 with almost triple double would be hard to beat as he plays for the lakers.
