NBA Season 2025-26

I'm a day late on this, but I would love to see an OKC-DEN rematch in the playoffs. OKC having to play both San Antonio and Denver in the playoffs would be interesting, and it's likely if DEN stays around the 4-5 seed and SAS the 2-3 seed.

No easy path for OKC. The Spurs/Thunder rivalry and Nuggets/Thunder rivalry will be fun

Knicks have looked impressive today against the Spurs I'll admit

My gut is telling me that we're heading towards a Boston/New York rematch come playoff time.

Yeah in the second round. It'll be tough. But that series could also decide who wins the East. I'm not entirely convinced on DET/CLE coming out yet.

Minnesota looking good so far today. They aren't talked about as much in the DEN/SAS/OKC tier but I think they are there. They've been close in recent years and made deep playoff runs, so I assume they get a little bored in the regular season but are capable of turning it up when needed. HOU-DEN-MIN are all basically 0.5 of each other in the 3-5 seed range.

Nuggets shouldn?t have traded MPJ. Cam Johnson has not been good for them.

Kuminga has looked really good for ATL in his first 3 games there

SAN FRANCISCO -- Golden State Warriors center Kristaps Porzingis will miss a fourth consecutive game on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Lakers with what the team is listing as a general illness.

"I can't really say anything more on it," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "It's a medical issue way beyond my capabilities explaining anything. He's sick. He won't play. We will keep monitoring him."

This comes one day after Kerr went on local Bay Area radio and stated that Porzingis isn't actually dealing with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), despite Porzingis publicly detailing his battle with it in the last year.

The Warriors acquired Porzingis at the February trade deadline from Atlanta for Jonathan Kuminga.

"I read about the POTS diagnosis and called the Hawks [general manager] Onsi Saleh," Kerr said. "He's a good friend of mine and I said 'Is this POTS story real?' He said it's actually not POTS. That was some misinformation that was out there."

I feel for KP.

Yep, great trigger pull getting rid of him. I'd love to have Jrue back though

KP might not last in the league much longer if his illness is basically going to have him miss more than half a season annually. I'm happy we had him for 2024 and before POTS

And listen, if his market is nonexistent this summer, I wouldn't mind bringing him back just as occasional depth/end of bench on the vet. min, you can do a lot worse for that.

So he does not have POTS? Wonder what it is..

Marc Stein: Hearing some optimism in Dallas that Cooper Flagg is nearing a return from the midfoot sprain that has sidelined him for the past seven games.

You have until Friday night, Coop.

This week the Atlanta Hawks ?announced a special one-night collaboration to celebrate the city?s iconic cultural institution Magic City? during the team?s home game against Orlando on Monday, March 16. In its press release the Hawks failed to acknowledge that this place is, as the business itself boasts, ?Atlanta?s premier strip club.? Given this fact, I would like to respectfully ask that the Atlanta Hawks cancel this promotional night with Magic City. The NBA should desire to protect and esteem women, many of whom work diligently every day to make this the best basketball league in the world. We should promote an atmosphere that is protective and respectful of the daughters, wives, sisters, mothers, and partners that we know and love.

Allowing this night to go forward without protest would reflect poorly on us as an NBA community, specifically in being complicit in the potential objectification and mistreatment of women in our society. Regardless of how a woman finds her way into the adult entertainment industry, many in this space experience abuse, harassment, and violence to which they should never be subjected.

I?d like to encourage the league, its owners, employees and fans to hold the Atlanta Hawks to a higher standard of what they find worthy of promoting. I and others throughout the league were surprised by and object to the Hawks? decision. We desire to provide an environment where fans of all ages can safely come and enjoy the game of basketball and where we can celebrate the history and culture of communities in good conscience. The celebration of a strip club is not conduct aligned with that vision. Please join me in petitioning the Atlanta Hawks to cancel this promotion so as to ensure that the NBA remains a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for everyone involved.

First, keep comments appropriate and family friendly.

I'm pretty surprised that Adam Silver is allowing this from an image perspective.

My only comment is that I was unaware that Luke Kornet has an online platform.  I took a quick look at it.  Assuming it's legitimately his -- which it seems to be -- I plan to follow it.

[Donoghus]

Just our luck.
