NBA Season 2025-26

Keyonte George is averaging 20pts/10ast. Another great draft pick by Ainge.

Clippers having some bad losses to start the season. Blown out by GSW last night.

No Bradley Beal so they started Bogdanovic. No guard defense and they are playing Steph Curry. Why not start Kris Dunn?

The box score is ugly. Only 1 assist for James Harden. Only 1 assist for 4 of their 5 starters with the 5th having 0 assists. Only 10 assists as a team on the whole against 30 FGM.

Problem is Clippers is lot of players getting paid big money & they really don?t care about winning

Bull are now 4-0. Josh Giddey is averaging 19pts/9rebs/6ast on 43/42/71 shooting splits. That trade was a steal for Chicago. Josh just turned 23 this month.

Given that Caruso helped OKC win a title I'd say the trade worked out fine for them as well.

OKC didn?t win the championship because of that trade. Caruso averages 8pts/2rebs per game. They have plenty of guys that could step in for him on that team.

He was 5th on the team in total minutes played during the playoff run, he may not have scored much but he was their primary on ball defender. I'd bet OKC makes that trade again if given the option.

Its one of those things where Giddey was never going to do what he's doing now if he's still in OKC, everybody needed to move on.

The East looks wide open for everyone lol. Also the Bulls being the 1 seed right now is hilarious

Teams are shooting 26% from three against the Bulls. By way of comparison the best 3-point defense last year allowed 34.2%. So 26% is completely unsustainable.

Same with 76ers to a degree, they are shooting 42% from three which is best in the league. The best team last year shot 38.7% from three. So that number will come down.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball fined $35K for flipping off referee in loss.

The 3 late games from last night

* Grizzlies 114-113 Phoenix
* Lakers 117-116 Minnesota = A Reaves with the game winner. 28 points. 16 assists. Wow. 16 assists. No Ant for Minny.
* Portland 136-134 Utah

Three nailbiters. Two 1pt victories and one 2pt victory.
