NBA Season 2024-25

I only see two teams capable of beating OKC in a series. Cleveland and Boston.

Denver to me just doesn't have the bench to do it. And frankly, I'm a bit surprised when I see people saying they think LAL has a "good chance" to beat OKC. We can talk about Lebron and Luka, fine, but realistically who on LAL is stopping SGA? Because it certainly ain't Reaves and Doncic. LAL's defense to me is still very iffy.

I also think LAL not having a legit frontcourt will bite them especially if both iHart and Chet are healthy for OKC. Maybe a year or two ago I would have but I don't see it, I think OKC would beat LAL in 5 or 6.

I feel like OKC will fold and choke. They just don't have it in them. If they meet GSW or Minny in Round 1, tough luck for the Thunder

Oh I'd be ecstatic if that happened. I think the only teams capable of beating Boston are OKC and Cleveland. If we manage to get past CLE and face a non-OKC team in the Finals, sweet!

But if OKC plays LAL please beat them lol

The Cavs just never lose.

Hope Boston hands them one on Friday

Celtics will likely be up 3-1 on Cleveland after the game Friday.

Lakers vs Mav?s at 10pm ET tonight. Luka?s revenge, part 1.

That would be something else if the Celtics go up 3-1 against the Cavs and 3-0 against the Knicks, two eastern conference teams that are/were supposed to give them problems in the East

Max Christie breakout game at Crypto Arena!

Yeah Cs go 10-1 and gain zero in the Cavs. I think people are crazy to think beating them in the season series means anything.   That series in the ECF is a toss up.

Some nice defense by both teams at the end of the Bucks vs Rockets game.

[Goldstar88]

Luka is fired up!

I think people are crazy who think regular season wins translate to the postseason. They certainly didn?t last year when the Cav?s and Thunder were both second round exits. Celtics beat the Cavs 4-1.  Dallas beat OKC 4-2.

Luka is fired up! 

Bro is about to put up 50+ at this rate

Although Kyrie might as well

[Who]

The amount of attention Luka commands is incredible. His teammates are wide open spotting up.

I'd be more scared of his passing than his scoring. Make Luka beat you. Don't give shooters wide open 3s.

I never expected us to catch them for the 1 seed, but it's like we won 6 straight, and they've now won 8 straight lol. Scary. Them and OKC are on pace for 66+ wins, idk we make the mid-2010s Hawks comparisons but I think the best they went was 60-22. 66+ is nothing to sneeze at.

Kyrie's growth in maturity as a floor general / true PG has been remarkable to see. Strange to see it so late in his career. He has been playing very well for Dallas since he got there.
