2025 NBA Season

Trading rumors should be set aside while the season still on, they two young guns needs to prove their worth.

The trade deadline is over, so does the trade issue with the Lakers. Magic and the Lakers management was too smart not to trade these young guns, since there were a lot of superstars that will become free agents next year, they could atleast land 1 or 2 superstars.

That would be big but aren't they concern with their chance to be in the playoffs this season?
With the way they are playing and the competition int the west, I'm afraid they will not reach the playoffs this season, it would be embarrassing for the king since he consistently bring his team to the NBA finals and not able to enter the playoffs with his new team.

Moreover, have you seen how Davis perform lately, he is not as intense as before, and today they loss after being up by 20 points.

LeBron will definitely bring the Lakers to the playoffs this season. The pride of the king will remain untarnished that every season he would enter the playoffs. It would be difficult to bring it to the finals though.

Yes, I think all the veterans contract is just for 1 year so it will open up some space.
Question is do they need more space to provide for a new star or they will just rely to this veterans for being a 2nd stringer and also giving good advices to the young stars which I think is working.

Kuzma should stay and so does Ingram. He is becoming more like Durant. Long arms with also high percentage of perimeter shooting. That will be hard to block.

We just hope it will happen, they are out of the playoff picture right now and therefore Lebron needs to work harder.
He should be more aggressive as it will bring energy to the team, right now he is the captain of the team so his young teammates rely's on him.
If he will trust this teammates, good things happen, just like what happen against the Rockets.

Lakers vs Rockets. Another interesting match, I'm sure you guys remember the Rondo-Chris Paul fight. I'm interested to see them face each other again, lol.

I'm watching it live now, the Rockets are leading in double digit and I think they'll pull this win.

Lakers pull an upset and stun Houston, but there are some dodgy calls specially in the dying minutes. But you can't take anything from Lebron as he try his best to lead this team. Paul and Harden, both fouling out, hard defeat for them as they lead as much as 19 if I'm not mistaken, but they have missed lots of three point and together with poor defense, allows Lakers to escape with a win.

It's unusual for this two top players to be fouled out together, lakers got lucky snatching this game out from the rockets, got a good lift from
kuzma and ingram together with lebron chances of getting their way to playoff still alive.

Trading rumors should be set aside while the season still on, they two young guns needs to prove their worth.

The Lakers got some big help from the refs, clearly they got dominated early but the refs ruined their momentum.
Best players are both fouled out, and the coach receives a technical foul, it's very clear that they don't like the officiating of that game.
Capela was back in this game but hasn't shown his beast mode yet, first game from injury is always touch as you will be trying to get back your confidence.

Indeed, that charging fouls against Harden was really questionable, and thus throwing the Rockets offense that time and that help the Lakers pull a upset. Anyways, not taking anything from the Lakers but they really work very hard that's why they got the win, but as you guys saw it, those crucial calls ruins Houston chance of winning the game.

High chances but not a guaranteed thing for Lebron to carry Lakers to playoffs but basing on their current performances there would be still some light that they can push through.

Team world loss guys, 144 - 161, a very high scoring game.
For a while, I thought they had a chance but the team USA is just too good tonight, they are shooting well.

I'm waiting now on who will be declared as MVP, it's probably Kuzma IMO.

Wow, I thought Team World will take this one, but Team World was shooting poor specially in three points category and had more turnovers. Simmons lead them with 28 points, while Team USA had Kuzma with 35 points.

So he takes the MVP this year. Hats-off to him. It will also bring more confidence to him as a Laker.

It is a remarkable time for kuzma showing his capabilities, knowing that the game is composed of pure rising Stars, the future of NBA new legends, with that dominations he will be remembered and fans will delight him more, though I voted for Team World, I still adored and congratulate the team.

Can't wait to watch what would be the outcome of the rivals between team Gianni's and team LeBron's.,

All eyes is on the Lebron's vs Gianni's now. I'm sure every NBA fans wanted to Lebron's team to win because of its firepower. Anyways, here is a good article specially the stats of both teams.

Funny! How sure you are that people like Lemonkey team to win? He cannot even make free throws!? He cannot even make the Lakers into the playoffs. It's Harden who's making the NBA fun and should be the captain of the team!

I rest my case. hehehehe. I'm sure you have watched it and Lebron's team make a comeback and win the game for the fans. Well, its a total team effort as Durant won the MVP but Lebron did contributed.  . Better luck next time, Harden making the NBA fun? with his step back un-guardable step back three's? And who just lost to the Lakers?

I think Lakers veterans are there for the season, they are not there for the long term, so if they could just get a superstar I am sure the young kids of that team will come off from the bench and the veterans like lance will be gone. They will not sign those veterans until they are sure that they will not be capable of getting any superstars.

If you look at the free agents this summer you will see that there are not many people Lakers could get, I mean there are some people who are good but won't make Lakers a championship team, I mean if they could get either Durant or Kawhi that is great but that is doubtful and won't probably happen they "may" get Kyrie but Kyrie getting back together with Lebron is unlikely as well.

Aside from Cousins that would help their center position aside there is no one left in that free agency that would make Lakers a championship caliber team. Hence I think free agency will not be the place where they will go for becoming that good, they will have to do trades in the end.

Hasnt he been to the playoffs every year since 2010 even under different teams he has been with? I remember him with the heat and cavs bring them to the conference finals time and time again.
I know he has made it 13 out of the 15 years he has been playing.

A big loss for the Golden State Warriors.
Even without Harden of the Rockets their role players seems to be doing good.
They are in hype. They did defense and offense and all are like excited to play.
The GSW though had a bad night. It is not like them. They are not pumped up.
Green got a strain injury at the 3rd by stepping on Cousins.
All in all Tucker, Gordon and CP3 did a great job and a hand of applause for Faried, he made a lot of difference for their game winner.

The warriors are winning but they are struggling lately, they are not the same dominant team who can easily beat their opponent.
Their last 3 games at home are won by single digit only and on the last 2 games, against sacramento and Miami Heat, they only win by 2 points, these 2 teams are not a legit playoff contender but they cannot dominate even at home. I see they are a different team this season and the Rockets might be the next champ.

I don't know about the Rockets being the next champ. Maybe the Warriors are really struggling, yeah, they might not be the dominant team as we have seen them in the last 2-3 years but I think they can still pull it off in the Western conference and face a tough and physical East team so it makes it more interesting.

We don't know but if you will ask me, I would love to see a new match up again, Harden has been playing really well
and he deserved to be in big stage. The warriors are still the same team, they maybe struggle now but they are still the favorites in the NBA to become the NBA champion. Faried is a good addition to the Rockets, he can be very useful during the playoffs and Paul should remain healthy as his points are back now.

I woudn't be surprised in James Harden will win the MVP again this year. As you have said, he is putting a lot of works and his numbers are way about the rest.

I don't know though, but it looks like Houston hasn't forgot last year conference finals that's why when they face Golden State they're usually pump up and wanting to prove something. Good win for them.

Westbrook was so underrated this season, he is putting tripple double and his team is winning now.
If I would choose the one to be an MVP, I might choose Westbrook because he is stepping up now and he has turn the OKC to be one of the best team in the League.

Westbrook, Curry Giannis is really a good candidate as well as everyone is putting incredible stats this year. But I don't know, its a tough call this early though, it really boils down as what team really performs and how those players are helping their teams.

A very tough call as everyone of them really showing their greatness performing so well, there's a lots of time and games to still showcasing their capabilities, the league still too early to recognize who's going to be the best among those contender's that we are naming right now, needs to wait for additional  performance coming from each of them.

There are two candidates for MVP in OKC, not only Westbrook is doing well, his buddy Paul George is also helping him to carry the team to the top.
OKC is currently top 3 in the western conference standing and there's always a chance that they could end up no. 1 this season if they continue to improve. Meanwhile, in the East, although the rank are close but I believe they are pretty dominated by the Bucks.

[leonair]

I believe that the Lakers will go to the playoffs this time as LeBron's playoff intensity is activated but how I wish they place on the 8th seed and GSW maintain their number 1 spot so they will be match up in the first round and when this happens the series will be like the Western Conference finals and whoever wins this series would be the 2019 NBA Champion.
