NBA Season 2025-26

[Who]

Bad loss for LAL to ATL. ATL had no Trae Young. No Porzingis. No Jalen Johnson. No NAW. So they were missing their 3 best players and 1 of their key role players. On a team with limited depth behind their top 7/8 players.

Embarassing loss.

Indiana looking like worst team in NBA..Haliburton & Benedict are out plus Turner left will do that

Jrue Holiday is playing unbelievable in Portland..should kept him and traded White..I alway said he was the key to the Celtics team last 2 years

I don't understand Kel'el Ware.

He had great pre-draft measurements. He was 6-11 and three quarters without shoes. So you would expect him to be 7-1 with shoes. He had a long wingspan at 7 foot 4 and a half. A standing reach of 9 foot 4 and a half. He had a good vertical. Yet, everytime I watch him play he looks small. Not just small in terms of lack of bulk (but yes) but also small in terms of length as a shot-blocking deterrent.

He also seems to be getting slower as time goes on. That happens sometimes with young bigs as they put on muscle. But he hasn't put on that much muscle yet. He still regularly gets pushed around by other bigs.

You would think a guy with those physical tools would impact the game more defensively than Ware does.

Then his effort level & motor are subpar. I remember that being a criticism of him entering the draft. Then he changed the narrative with his play in summer league and early regular season appearances. But as time has gone on, he has gone back to lazy levels of effort.

It is all so ... disappointing.

It?s an ideal time to say that. When Jrue is injured or not hitting shots and DWhite regains his shot I think one will be able to make the opposite argument. I don?t think anyone wouldn?t love to still have Holiday, but given that 25-26 is not a contending year, it was probably wise to keep the 31 year old over the 35 year old.
