NBA Season 2026-27

76ers beat the Knicks on ring night.

[Goldstar88]

Spurs/Thunder game is getting chippy..

[SparzWizard]

Looks like the 76ers' Big 5 all had near double-digits, wow. VJ was shy of one point.

So is 76ers the team to beat in the East after spoiling Knicks' banner night?

[SparzWizard]

OKC imposing their will against the Spurs on the road.

This was supposed to be the team to represent the West last year, and likely repeated.

Not exactly the statement you want out there if you're looking for leverage.

Golden State has started exploring trade routes for Kristaps Porzingis, who is now seriously contemplating his future in basketball as he deals with recurring symptoms from the autoimmune condition termed as POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), sources tell ESPN.

Porzingis is on a trade-flexible contract for $20 million this season and a small partial next year, serving as essentially an expiring deal that the Warriors can utilize, potentially with their pool of assets. He first revealed his POTS diagnosis last year and has had ups and downs with the issue. If there is no breakthrough in recovery, stepping away from basketball -- for good -- is possible.

That really sucks. KP was such a fun player to watch. Feel awful for him.

T-Wolves putting an absolute beatdown on the Heat. I love it.

A healthy Giannis (and Portis) in Celtics green would've curbstomped the Pistons last night. What could have been Brad...what could have been. Would have solved some interior game issues.

[snively]

Ty Jerome dropped 45/7/6 on the Jazz. If he can stay healthy for once he could have a monster year.  That Grizzlies team could cause some teams some problems. Lots of skilled size,  some very good wing defenders. Light in the scoring department but Jerome and Grant looked good tonight.

Raptors beat the Bulls by 40+. Yeesh

Ewww. Caleb Wilson 7-21 FGA with 9 turnovers. Ouch.

[Who]

Cooper Flagg with 32pts in 33min on 10-17 FGA 11-13 FTA. A lot of that came when Houston had already built a huge lead though. Flagg sure does a fair bit of stat piling when games are already out of hand.

1st half = 9pts 2-8 FGA 4-4 FTA
2nd half = 23pts 8-9 FGA 7-9 FTA

His team was down 70-38 at halftime.

I noticed this happening a number of times during his rookie season. Flagg would get his hot streaks / scoring streaks going when the other team relaxed up after building big leads.

A surprise Lakers lineup. They started both Ziaire Williams and M Thybulle. I expected both of those guys to be 3rd stringers. Not their starting forwards.

G: A Reaves
G: L Doncic, Q Grimes
F: M Thybulle, J LaRavia
F: Z Williams, Mamu
C: W Kessler, K Looney

I was surprised Quinten Grimes did not start. Pleasantly surprised. I did not like his fit in their lineup.

I like what Reddick is trying to do putting two athletic defensive forwards next to Luka & A Reaves. Now we have to wait and see if those defensive forwards can hit enough outside shots to stay in the starting lineup.

W Kessler with 26 points on his debut. 12-12 FGA. All at the rim except for one outside shot. 9 rebounds 2 blocks 26pts all in 30 minutes. Luka had 28pts A Reaves 23pts.

Their new Big 3 looked pretty good last night. Post-Lebron times.

Embiid looks toast to me.
