NBA Season 2024-25

Cleveland struggling and about to lose against the Magic - a team with big wings and who can also defend them well - at home.

They jut really, really struggle with teams that have big wings given their personnel. Would love to see this as a first round matchup for Cleveland to make them work for it. Similarly, that is the one team I would not want to face in the first round, as they'll make you work for wins.

Whomever draws Orlando are in for an annoying mug ball series. I?ve already prepared myself for the matchup because I think that?s what the league wants. That game before Christmas was an absolute joke.

Please let it be Cleveland vs Orlando round 1. Let Boston take any of Detroit, Miami, or Atlanta and I'll be fine.

I would want to avoid DET too lol. Hoping for MIA/ATL/CHI. ATL can be tricky but without Hunter and Johnson there I don't really view them as major threats to push us to a long series. They don't have Dejounte Murray either like they did in the 2023 series.

Pistons are up 4.5 games with 14 to go. I don't think they're going to drop into the play-in.

Oh wow these standings change fast every day lol. I'm pretty sure a week ago DET was only like 1.5 up on the 7 seed. Even out West, LAL was the 2 seed and they dropped to 5 pretty fast.

How do the Suns lose to a Lakers team without LeBron or Hachimura?

Phoenix are fighting for their playoff lives. How!?

What's hilarious is, Dallas might have to forfeit games soon and they could still make the play-in because Phoenix sucks too

Luka effect and Jaxson Hayes is back in the starting lineup.

Also the Suns are garbage.

[Who]

Quentin Grimes last 4 games

- 25pts 6ast

That is 26.1ppg 4.4apg 5.0rpg 2.1spg in 8 March games.

OKC vs Milwaukee will be a great test for Milwaukee's playoff credentials. A good test for OKC. We'll learn more about MIL than OKC.

59-41 Thunder, guess it's not much of a test for OKC lol esp at Milwaukee

Impressive showing by OKC. They have shut down the paint and shut down the three point line.

Milwaukee still within striking distance but they gotta find something that will work for them offensively.

[Who]

I feel sorry for Kuzma having to defend SGA. Tough cover for a big forward like Kuzma.

Hartenstein's floater / teardrop is beautiful. More bigs should follow his example. It gets him so many easy points over the course of a year.

[Who]

Hartenstein is the new Joakim Noah.

His passing & movement on offense opens up so much for his teammates. Efficient low volume complementary scoring. Then the defense. More physical than Noah. Not as quick. Better one-on-one defender. Strong team defender but doesn't cover as much ground as Noah.

[radiohead]

OKC is legit, but are they peaking too soon?

OKC is legit, but are they peaking too soon?

They look like Boston from 2023 - 2024. Just dominant all around.

But I still think OKC has that choke factor in them in the playoffs. They're a "see it to believe it" type for me.
