2025 NBA Season

Chill GSW people, they have a match later against Timberwolves.

They can retrieve that lost they made with Spurs.

Actually it doesn't matter to me now. They already secured a playoff spot so i'm just waiting for it. What matters to me now is will KD left the GSW after this season. We all know GSW is still dominant even without him but they have a higher chance in getting Grandslam if ever KD will stay. Hope he is.

KD has been consistent NBA Finals MVP but the warriors are still good without him.
The NBA needs to give other team a chance to grow, and I would be happy if Durant will play in a weaker team since he already have achieve being a champion, so I guess this time he needs to prove that he can carry his team without the help of other superstar.

GSW was able to bounce with a win against Timberwolves. Curry was hot scoring 36 points, Klay Thompson also added 28 points after a disappointing 14 points against San Antonio. So we can lay to rest the argument that they are having a sort of chemistry problem.

They do better because Timberwolves is not a good team, they should prove it with the spurs.
I believe Timberwolves is already out of the playoff picture, so they don't need to play harder than what the Spurs are doing.

Well there's a lot of noises than Durant will leave GSW and pursue a career with NYK. But it's too early to say, at least he wanted to win another title this year for GSW and make it a grand-slam.

And GSW still needed to win because they are currently tied with the Denver Nuggets for the top spot in the West, although the win put them one game ahead. They should maintain that top spot though, so that it will be easy for them to gain the homecourt advantage and of course face the number 8 seed in playoffs.

well we can also consider how the management really playing for the next rounds, GSW already been into finals several times now and working
with standings and places inside the playoffs are also been part of their strategy, we will be able to witness what would be the next steps towards
after this regular season and when the playoffs begin.

They tried against the Spurs, but they fell short, as Spurs is really hot right now. Timberwolves maybe out of the playoffs but I think they still gave GSW all they have but Curry took over the game, and Curry is not willing to gave up their top spot in the West to the resurging Nuggets team.

As for the case of Kevin Durant, it is still up in the air, we still don't know what will happen, if he stays or leave GSW.

Is there a worse ran organization in basketball? I would say the Knicks but they look to be amping up to make some big free agent moves next year.

Maybe in the previous seasons but New York Knicks is one of the team that is expected to make a big move in the upcoming free agency. Theyare even part of the rumor of Kevin Durant saga.

First move is they released their key player, Kristap Porzingis. Plus their current position on the standings will make them get a good spot on the next NBA Draft Pick.

Well then we just have to wait for their move in post season.

Its New York what else do we expect? It will be like an LA move.

With their high salary cap they could easily take 2 superstars in their midst.
Although this aint really for a championship but just for entertainment.
Stars want to watch superstars and not just some role players.
It will be a big hit for a profit.

Just a seat will cost you and if you include your family for a night out to watch the game it will hurt you.
Forget your girlfriend or else...

I strongly feel that many players do not care about winning,  They play just to collect their millions and give a half hearted attempt at trying.  I don't really blame them, people are struggling to survive and here you are pulling in millions for throwing a ball at a metal rim.

Well, we're only a few games before the post season. And the warriors are already assured of a good spot and is expected to win whoever they face in the 1st round. I don't see any reasons why the warriors would lay everything out at this point.

Didn't you know that a certain player needs to reached something to be able to unlock a biggest offer? Yes there is no way they will can easily qualified for a max contract or big salaries.

Therefore they will go for a win or depends on the situation e.g preparing for playoffs, a game where no need to force something , already clinched a spot etc.

Mind sharing your basis for much clearer view for us?

Also if I'm not mistaken, if a team (or player) reaches like playoffs, 1st round and then went as high to the finals, there are more incentives right? So they need to really play hard and win every game. So they really need to care all about winning more than individual awards, to collect more millions in their contract.

If they do not care about winning then millions should not be worth it to give it to them and the happiness they give all around the globe does not fit them. It should be for those people that care about winning.

In your statement, you're just pertaining to those team that tanks. But if all players are like that, they don't really deserve their pay, because people are watching them and what they'll do? Fail those who supports them?

[GregH37]

It all depends on what Warriors are planning on with Klay and Draymond. If they decide to go with Klay and Draymond than they need to send Durant away, if they want to keep Durant than they will definitely send Draymond away and pay Klay not the max. They are already in super debt and they are definitely paying a ton of taxes already and they JUST opened a new stadium and they are going to want to make a ton of money from it, I think Durant and possibility of Klay is more important than Draymond but that is also bad loyalty as well.

I don't know what will happen in Free Agency but the most definite thing is Cousins getting out of there, he will be playing somewhere else for probably max contract for sure. Durant would totally accept a max offer from Warriors if they offer it, I just think they may not offer the max which is why Durant may leave.

Not everyone in the league got a max contract, you need to prove yourself first to the management that your talent worth millions of dollars. But, believe me man, once youre in the league you really care about winning, who doesnt? Thats their passion turned into profit, that means winning first before money.
When you start winning, not only the league would offer you millions of dollars, but also from commercials like signing an offers from a shoe brand. Thereafter you need to always give your best not to lose those offer.

Making money is always been a main thing.

Contracts made will really vary on how long would be the duration and its true that it will depend on the management on how long they would decide to keep you in but if you are a
superstar then no doubt with that max contract.

James Harden now becomes the first player in the league to score 30+ points game against 29 different teams in a "single season".

That was tough to do. It's difficult to maintain an over 30+ production on every game. Hot hands is really needed and..... never mind.

Well then, I also want to give credit to his interesting numbers of free throw attempts that contribute to that 30+ points a game. lol.

A player already gained a lot after being drafted, it's up to them to prove themselves or be contented with million bucks that they've received and enjoyed the luxuries, regarding to superstars, they work harder proving their worth so surely management will offer what they've deserved, maximum contract will be depends on how the fans buy the players, they needed to win the crowd and be left with lots of money inside their pockets..

Most of his points are coming from the FT.
It seems like he already mastered the move to caught his opponent to commit foul, he should be credited for that.

However, I don't see him as GOAT yet, he needs to prove that he can win championship and this season he has another chance to do it.

Looks like OKC is on a slide lately, Toronto beat them in OT 123-114. Westbrook came back strong with 42 points, and tie the score in regulation with a lay-up. Actually they have a chance to win the game, but his 3 was short. And then Toronto took over the OT game and never gave any breathing room for OKC. Siakam lead the way for the Raptors with 33 point together with 13 rebounds.
