2026 NBA Season

[Cointxz]

Cleveland won the game 113-117 in overtime after it ended 103-103 in regulation, taking a 3-2 lead in the series. In the ongoing series, both teams that were home-court advantage lost their home-court advantage. Detroit and Minnesota are the teams that lost home-court advantage. I think the Spurs will finish the series in Game 6, but since Detroit and Cleveland are two very evenly matched teams, this series could go to Game 7.

I doubt Spurs will close the series on Minnesota home court because of potential referees bias call. I’m aiming for Spurs to win this series as my favorite team but I think this will be a game 7 same with the Pistons and Cavs series.

I like the late hustle of Cavs to claw back to the game on the 4th quarter. Evan Mobley made that comeback possible with his crucial 3 pts shot and free throws.

I was in the impression that the home team will take this game but Cavs have other things in mind, forcing the game into overtime and managed to snatch the homecourt advantage, they can finish the series now at home, knowing how good they are when playing at home let see if they'll end this in game 6 or Piston will do their best to push for a do-or-die  game and have the chance to be in East conference finals.

let see if they'll end this in game 6 or Piston will do their best to push for a do-or-die  game and have the chance to be in East conference finals.

You know, even if the Pistons manage to beat the Cavs and make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, I don't think they'll have much of a chance there, since the Knicks have been playing better than them, judging by the results of the first two playoff rounds.

The game was very important to them, this series is base on winning the homecourt. But this time the game is going to be a must win for the road team to at least steal one game so that in the next game it will be a close out for them.

The Pistons though has a slim chance, it's their back is against the wall. So I wouldn't be surprised if somewhat they turn and this time they are the one who is going to steal from the homecourt team to force a game 7 for us.

Cavaliers have really come back in the series from 0-2 to 3-2! But I still believe it shouldn't have been this hard for them. After beating Pistons away last I guess they'd finish it home.

But I'm also one of the people who don't give them a serious chance against Knicks in the conference finale...    Knicks are just looking so strong now by sweeping 76ers easily. The same 76ers eliminated Celtics previously as you know.

This could probably go to another game seven i just hope that Harden and Mitchell don't disappear in this series like they always do, always come up short, now they already have the chance to be in the east finals and probably in the finals
but for sure Pistons will not going to give up in this series even though they are down, they already overcome 3-1 deficit, so they already experience the pressure of game seven, so if things are right its going to be an all out war if there is a game seven, that might give the knicks an advantages going in the east finals.

I think LeBron should retire already. At this age, he has done enough, achieved everything, and now maybe it is time for him to relax and enjoy his fortune.

He won’t just retire like that, someone like LeBrom who still have the opportunity of receiving lucrative contracts at this age will want to continue because he love the game, and this is not how he intends to end his career. He would want to end his career on a high note, either by winning something or playing in a final before retiring. My guess is that he’s going to play one more season.

Yeah right he provably want a prestigious retirement and not an easy exit like this.

Maybe that reunion on Cavs if this is going to happen will his final stint on NBA and many fans waiting for that.

Maybe they are now trying to have a deal with Cavs now. So expect to see one more season for Lebron, he's still capable to lead a team and that low interest of Lakers to sign him up maybe a good sign that Lebron will play on other team.

Speaking of Lebron retirement, I saw someone posted it on tiktok. But for sure I didn't bite on it as I know that this could be just fake news and it's a fan made videos and probably uses AI for Lebron's voice.

On the other hand, their is also a video that says that Rob Pelinka or Luka wanted to be a Laker and he is willing to have Reaves back and Rui as well. And they are hiring more assistant coaches for scouting. Not sure if that is a good plan by Rob but perhaps they needed more eyes out there to make a better decision come play time.

Well Lebron really is a huge figure in the NBA even at the his age people are still hating, and still making things against him, people and the media make LeBron the villain for MJ legacy, that it curve the history in the NBA I think, no player in NBA history has been hated by a fan of MJ because he is still balling at his age.
With Luka saying he want's reave in LA that is a slap in the face for LeBron, I would not talk like that, because im no show in the series 1 and 2, while LeBron carry the team dragging the team by this old man, into the second round, but get sweep.

Well he won't be doing it for the money, he has made enough and still involved in owning professional sports teams. So even if he did retire his family would be well taken care of from the sport while he played on and off the court.
I can also see him saying, one more time. But which ever team does take him on for a season will be taking on the risk of paying him a rather large amount and then him most likely getting injured.
It would be something if he did go back to the Cavaliers but judging by their performance from last night it doesn't look like they need him.

Exactly that. His ego would never let him retire without the fanfare that for example Kobe had seen in his last season. There will be a "this will be my last season" announcement before whatever season it will happen, 100% sure about that. Also, keeping it going also ensure that some of his records will be set in stone and basically untouchable, which I am sure he also desires.

No NBA basketball today. The beginning of the end for the season. Sad times… Tomorrow’s matchup between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the San Antonio Spurs could be the last good game of the postseason. Don’t miss it on Amazon Prime. Ant vs Wemby will be the last great matchup this season.

[el kaka22]

There is a potential that Lebron could also buy an NBA team, like MJ did. I am not sure how much of it he can own, after all he can't own all of it, these days teams are quite expensive and he does not own that much money, even though he has a lot of money, it is not enough to buy a whole team.

But there is a potential that he could be one of the owners, partnering with others, and since he will keep on making money, he could keep on buying more of it over the years as well. That is what I expect from him, own a team.

[Stavri]

i think like all great things coming to an end, he reached the end of a career as well. he is 42 years old and has completed his 23rd season. it wasn’t a beautiful ending to the season but despite everything of course he deserves a respect

Yes, he does. I have not been a LeBron James fan since he set foot in the NBA. Never actually. Cavs, Miami Heat, and Lakers. I hate all those teams. But all the respect to him with his punctuality, his attendance, his hard work, and especially his health consciousness. He made it this far because he took care of his health both physically and mentally. He ain't an injury-prone player, unlike Kawhi and other power forwards who cannot even complete 50 games of the season, worse, to perfect it.

If this is the end of his career, there will still be a tear running down my cheek just like when Kobe retired, although I hate them both. No, it's not sarcasm. It's their hard work and love for the game that I always respect.

I never liked Kobe until the end of his career when I saw how he was on a losing team…

I don’t think this is the end for LeBron. Maybe in Los Angeles. I’d love to see him do a superteam thing with Steph and Giannis, but I’m sure the contract he’ll demand limits those possibilities.

He may want to keep going. its for sure Lebron wants to win more.
Naturally, he wants to get that 5th, 6th or 7th ring to surpass the men he’s compared to. After all, LeBron isn't being compared to Steph or KD. he’s being compared to Michael Jordan. Some say Kobe, others say Kareem. He is seen as being ahead of Steph and KD by the majority.

Steph has 4 championships and 1 Finals MVP.

Durant has 2 championships and 2 Finals MVPs.

LeBron has 4 championships and 4 Finals MVPs.

I think this is one of the best series we've seen lately. The Pistons had a great start to the season and were very good in the playoffs. But we all saw what happened in the last three games. Suddenly the series changed, the Pistons fell behind, and it looks like their season is over.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are playing better than I expected this season, especially against Detroit; I didn't think they could do this

[xLays]

I really thought in NBA playoffs Round 1 that the Orlando Magic would upset the Detroit Pistons. Good thing Detroit managed to come back and win the series against the Magic. I’m hoping the Pistons can also make a comeback against the Cavs, eventhough the next game is on Cleveland’s homecourt. I think if Detroit wins Game 6, they’ll have a good chance to do it again in Game 7..

But honestly, I think no matter who qualifies from the Detroit Pistons vs. Cavs series, the Knicks will probably just sweep them in the next round.

I don’t think the Knicks could sweep either of those teams, even though they look like the better team in the playoffs and could possibly beat them.

In the regular season, the Knicks went 0-3 against the Pistons. In their first two games against the Pistons, they even lost by more than 30 points. In the third game, although the deficit was only 15 points, Cunningham scored 42 points.

Against the Cavs, the Knicks went 2-1. But in the first two games, the Cavs still didn’t have James Harden, and the deficits were only 8 and 2 points. In the third game, Harden was already playing, and they managed to beat the Knicks by 15 points.

I'm not sure about sweeping 4-0 but I think Knicks are strong enough to beat either one of Pistons and Cavaliers. Regular season performances don't always prove things.

Playoffs is a much more different environment. Teams start playing more seriously than normal. I think the same for the possible Western Conference finale as well.

Spurs looked very dominant against Thunder in regular season. But Thunder can turn things around in playoffs.

Cleveland won the game 113-117 in overtime after it ended 103-103 in regulation, taking a 3-2 lead in the series. In the ongoing series, both teams that were home-court advantage lost their home-court advantage. Detroit and Minnesota are the teams that lost home-court advantage. I think the Spurs will finish the series in Game 6, but since Detroit and Cleveland are two very evenly matched teams, this series could go to Game 7.

Yeah right, it's possible that they may force it to game 7 as what we have seen that close game last time, they just missed the opportunity to take the series lead and allow Cavs to have the homecourt advantage, they need to do everything that they can if they are aiming to push this one, though the chance is slim but anything can happen, more tougher defense and don't let Cavs to have that early offensive run they are good at home so better not to give that much confidence.
