2026 NBA Season

Ömer Faruk Yurtseven made his debut shortly after transferring to GSW.

Ömer's performance in his first game with Golden State:

Time: 13 minutes
Score: 0 points
4 rebounds
Golden State lost to New York 107-110.

Ömer's awkward behavior due to the excitement of his first game caught my attention. If he doesn't perform well and contribute points in the next game, his GSW adventure will end in just 10 days.

But without LeBron maybe... Reaves - Doncic looks like the best duo at Lakers now.

No denying, we’ve seen them playing together before when LeBron was out early in the season and they were doing great.
But it’s still different without LeBron though, he still remains the best player of the team, their captain, and with the experience he has it makes his teammates way more better. I like how the lakers responded in that crucial game, probably one of the best games they had, and it felt like a playoff atmosphere.

In the past games especially in the last playoffs, they were always dominated by the nuggets. Now with Luka this could be different.
Lakers are playoff ready I guess.

We will see if they can continue playing with good chemistries, with Smart, and Ayton the 3 superstars might work their ways, though still needs to have role players who can help in both offense and defense as even you've got the best scorers in your squad if defense is not that tough, other team can dominate them and beat them while taking advantages of the mismatch and inexpective rotations.

Golden State lost to New York 107-110.

So much for Yurtseven's performance but I think what needs to be talked is "why on Earth Gui Santos didn't take that shot"? I mean he got a couple of threes and he's been balling all night and even fill that stats sheet but it feels like his inexperience took over him, he could have tied that one instead of chasing Post who's been guarded well by a defender. I think it was their second time they blow out that huge lead and lost in the end.

That Luka Doncic game winner was cold! They sent him the double team and he didn’t think about passing it for a second. He just fired a fadeaway and took home the win. This after Austin Reeves executed the perfect missed free throw to send the game to overtime. Good win.

It was a good performance from Luka Doncic I was very impressed with his game winning abilities, I was very impressed, I have been very impressed with his performance this season because he has been playing a very good game and it’s been a very good performance all together, every game weeks that passes his been playing a very good and massive game, right now in this Lakers team I think he is absolutely the best player on the court he is miles ahead of LeBron.

Good win and good performance from Luka Doncic.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama ready to 'press the gas' for stretch run: 'I want to win the MVP and DPOY'
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/spurs-victor-wembanyama-mvp-defensive-player-of-year/

"Right now in my mind is taking great care of my body cause I also want to win the MVP, and the Defensive Player of the Year," Wembanyama said. "So I'm trying to press the gas from now until the end of the season. Really take care of my treatment, take care of my sleep, take care of my routine and show up for my team."

He can. That's what I can say about his goal. If this happens, he will be alongside Michael Jordan, Giannis, and Olajuwon as the only players to win those awards in the same season. It's very rare to happen, and he will probably set history about being the youngest to claim both awards.
He must show all his talents and skills in the upcoming games because he will need all the votes he can get from the media members, because sometimes those guys can be critical of stats and performances.

Warriors really did their best without Steph Curry. They actually led the game for a serious amount of time. They even had a 21-point lead in Q2! But despite all this they couldn't win...

This is their 5th loss in a row by the way. They are at least safe from standing out of top 10. Grizzlies are like 9 wins behind. Steph Curry is finally returning in a week according to estimations.

That’s good to know, but the Warriors were supposed to be a very dominant team, yet now they’re only sitting around the play-in spot. Their time is probably over, and I think even if Curry comes back they will still struggle to make it to the playoffs, especially with Jimmy Butler out for the rest of the season.

But somehow the Warriors will still be fun to watch again, that’s probably the only thing we can expect now if we try to be realistic about it.
