NBA Season 2024-25

[Who]

I like Jericho Sims. Not much talent but that guy works his socks off. I love the way he pursues rebounds.

[Who]

Cleveland playing great.

They are too much for Milwaukee.

[Who]

Cavs now 10-21 from 3PTA. Red hot.

Brook Lopez has been invisible. They stuck Evan Mobley on Brook and are having Jarrett Allen defend Giannis. Giannis is playing great but they have taken B Lopez out of the game. Kuzma has been quiet too so MIL's offense is almost entirely down to Giannis and Lillard.

Whereas Cleveland are shootin the ball and moving the ball brilliantly. Everyone involved.

[Who]

Milwaukee had so many opportunities to cut the lead to 5 but a combination of bad luck and a comedy of errors has seen the lead pushed back up to 10.

Milwaukee should take heart from this. They have hung on in there. They haven't played that well. They can play better. They are missing Bobby Portis. They are doing okay.

I think a Milwaukee/Cleveland series would be a good, hard series for both teams. I'd give the slight edge to Cleveland, but could easily see Milwaukee winning that series.

I would also say that I put both Milwaukee and Cleveland in the same tier as opponents against us. I think we win either series, but while in a vacuum Cleveland is the better team, I imagine that Milwaukee will present differing challenges for us and put up as much of a fight if not more against a healthy Celtics squad.

Philly beat Utah last night. They're 3.5 games back of Chicago for the 10th spot with about a month to go. I'm low-key hoping they win a few more of these games down the stretch to keep their odds of a top 6 pick low. The funniest thing that can happen is if Philly misses the play-in and loses their pick.

The more I watch Dort, the more I dislike him given how much he flops. It's ridiculous.

Denver taking it to OKC tonight!

Denver taking it to OKC tonight!

Suddenly they?re up big in the fourth! Can?t count a Joker led team out.

[SparzWizard]

Brooklyn Nets got the dub 👏

[Phantom255x]

OKC had a massive 4th quarter yesterday vs DEN. DEN tonight responds with a massive 2nd half to get a win. Still think DEN is a threat in the West, especially if Gordon comes back and they stay healthy. I don't see them as pushovers, Jokic/Murray are capable of turning it on in the playoffs.

LOL Luka postgame is blaming the refs

There's a 4.5 game gap between the 10 and 11 seeds in the East, and it's 5 games between the 6 and 7 seeds. So basically, I think the play-in teams are already determined (ATL, MIA, ORL, CHI).

Hopefully we play anyone but Orlando, they've been inconsistent but I still think Banchero, Wagner and their size can make things tricky. Not worried at all about the other 3, we'll beat them in 5.

I hope IND-MIL is a first round series, that is very entertaining with those two forming a rivalry as well. NY-DET would be fun too.

[Who]

Orlando have now lost 20 of their last 28 games.

All the way back to near the start of January.

I'm starting to think that their duo doesn't work together. They are a worse version of Tatum and Brown. The supporting cast exacerbates the issue, but it is still a core issue.
