NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
,Z Sad, but true. The Lakers inexplicably own their picks in 2026, 2028, 2030, and 2031. Well done Nico. They own their 2032 first as well, but Iām not sure if they can deal those yet. Reeves + salary filler + the picks probably gets it done. The Simmons meltdown + mini stroke on Netflix might be worth it. The Knicks have 2 firsts in 2026 (the Wizards pick top 8 protected), and their own first in 2028. The picks plus OG or Bridges would get them pretty close to good value.

Pre-injury, Windhurst thought the Bucks wouldnāt trade Giannis until the lottery. I wonder if their plans have changed?

Good pivot on Sinai so we could stay clean on Seaton. And thatās the only nice thing I have to say about Flood.

Giannis hurt again. Good to figure out heās an IL waiting to happen before itās too late.

It feels like theyāre stubbornly dug in on developing an OG in house as a proof of concept. Flood you can take credit for developing Goosby. Take a bow and retire please. If Gerry and Bobby remark on how big Jackson Christian is in person again, Iām going to fucking lose my mind. Stroh was also huge and couldnāt play dead. End of the day, theyāre throwing the dice on a redshirt freshman not ruining a championship caliber offense. Why?!

Iāll take it. Ackerman went out of his way to praise Tate during the broadcast, and Richardson asked some dumb ass question about his energy in the post game presser. Just very strange and feels planted. All the guy had to do to become a rotational NBA player is develop a corner 3 shot, and Tate is like nah Iām good. Enjoy that vet minimum chief. Sitting DFS and Eason and asking KD to play 41 minutes on a back to back is some truly wild shit. If one or both can walk they have to play them. Capela attempting anything other than a dunk is going to be a miss. Dude has zero touch on tip ins. His hook is the ugliest shot in the NBA. Still a plus on defense, but they need to eliminate his touches on offense. Pick and roll dunks only. Another good game from Reed but he needs to think on his shot selection. Wide open 3ās or driving to the basket. If theyāre going to run defenders at him either dip the shoulder and draw a 3 shot foul or blow by them for a layup. At his size/experience heās not hitting a contested 3 in some 6ā9āā defenderās face consistently. Zach Lowe did a deep dive in the Rockets and his conclusion was basically they must clean up the turnovers and be a top 2 defense to make the WCF. The turnover thing is a tough ask. 3 turnovers per game is part of the package with KD. Amen and Alpi average about 3 game too. So theyāre starting at 9 a game. Gotta win the more possessions game when they donāt make many 3ās.

Jalen Green left early tonight as well for the Suns. I think theyāll continue to compete, but scoring is going to be tough.

This hits close to home. I saw Monica from Yellowstone on the subway in New York some years ago. A stunningly beautiful, very thin woman with some Native actors patch on her bag.

Tate back in. Point shaving engage!

Probably the worst officiated game Iāve ever witnessed. They will be very fortunate to win.

Duren is the last person in the NBA I would want to fight. Good Lord.

Worthless POS Tateās last 30 seconds: offensive foul/turnover, flagrant foul, almost single handedly blew a 14 point lead.

I would send Tate to Turkey via shipping container after whatever the fuck that was.

A classic Iād rather lose with my guys than win with otherās guys game from Ime. He was 10000% overruled on picking Reed. Iāll wager 100 HEB El T coupons that Ime wanted to pick Castle.

I kind of wonder if thereās something going with Reed and Ime. I donāt think he played a minute down the stretch or in OT. Please somebody sit that stubborn fuck down and read him the Landryās Riot Act.

The Rockets tap dance into the WCF with Maxey. Tough to see him on a joke franchise.

The Sixers are a tough out when Embid gets lost and accidentally drives to the arena (his job, allegedly). Reed continues to do winning things. White Cassell? Swagger/shit talking needs work, but his game is getting there.

Any credibility? Iād say Alvarado is maybe a top 30ish PG. That might work. Heās certainly plucky.

I love these setting sun Warriors. Kerr refuses to play Kuminga to showcase their only trade asset. Dunleavy then chases it with a there is no trade market for Kuminga remark. Silver is going to need a really weak, cheap, and desperate owner for this trade pairing.

Best guesses on the subject of the movies? They teased BTK throughout Season 2, but Wichita PD caught him because the regard sent them a floppy desk. The Brian Tench stuff is really interesting. Iād work that into the next installment.
