2025 NBA Season

[Questat]

Strong start for the Phoenix Suns. Defeating Clippers and GSW.
DBooker is really heated up joined by Saric which had been one of the good role player when he was at Milwaukee.
Then there is Baynes, Rubio and Oubre.
Both their lossesfrom Jazz and Nuggets are just 1 point lead.
They might get stronger as chemistry is building up.

Right, they already defeated the bigger team, Clippers and GSW. So don't sleep on Phoenix Suns now. Booker and Saric has already found their chemistry and the team are also contributing very well.

Maybe their basketball system is already working for their real players. Or perhaps each one of them have identify themselves in the system already. If they remain healthy and competitive throughout the gruesome 80 games, I'm sure they will be a contender in the playoffs and will give good team a run for their money.

They are still underrated and I check the odds now, it seems like it didn't change at all.
If they will reach the playoffs, let's think that they also have a shot to win the championship, and if we believe on that, we can take the odds @274.

I watched the video of that devastating injury and it doesn't look good. 

It's really a tough start for GSW here and since Curry will be out indefinitely, I would say that there chances this season to at least make it to the playoffs are very slim. Unless D’Angelo Russell step up, but I think he can't carry the team load.

Look at the Warriors, we thought they are back after they won convincingly on the road, but back home, they loss by double digit to the Suns and still they did not tally one win from home, hopefully the fans will not be disappointed with this team.

This game, curry was not shooting his usual numbers, he only scored 9 points while D Green had 4 points, I think there's something wrong with their system.

The warriors fans should brace themselves for one of the worst seasons that they are going to have since it was formed. Even when their star man Curry was playing, they weren't doing that good and now that he's been injured, i shudder to think of what will happen now. They indeed did well in the game against the Phoenix Suns especially in the 4th quarter of the game closing the deficit to just 11 points.

Easy win last night for Jazz vs Clippers, but is not a surprise as Kawhi decided to sit out this game due  load management. Conley finally decided to play, 29 pts last night, with standard good performances by Bogdanovic, Mitchell and Gobert. Jazz continues to be top defensive team, no team this season scored more than 96 against them.

The score was close in the first half but then Conley caught fire in the third and made it difficult for the Clippers to catch up.

Stats says average points per game of teams against Jazz is 92.4, that's impressive given how each NBA team easily scores over 100 now.

If the key players of the Phoenix Suns will remain healthy in this season, they might reach the playoffs.

Again with the healthy talk.
Yes, when we are talking here the discussion is as if they will be healthy until the end of the season.
Because we really know who will be injured or not or when it will be. So they are healthy in my statement.

Right, they already defeated the bigger team, Clippers and GSW. So don't sleep on Phoenix Suns now. Booker and Saric has already found their chemistry and the team are also contributing very well.

I have one opinion about this, specially with Saric.
It is like this man is not difficult to have chemistry with.
Sorry for my error here.

Saric which had been one of the good role player when he was at Milwaukee.

I mean he came from Philly where he really made some shots when they needed it.
An all around guy which the Suns could rely on.

Warriors went against the basketball gods and made a team that was easily beating every single team against them, they won in 2015 and in 2017-2018 they won two championships that was the easiest championships in the world and there was no one even having slightest of the chances against them.

Last season with the finals basketball gods decided to intervene and make things square again, now Warriors are paying the debt of having so much power, the bigger they are the harder they fall. Warriors is basically one of the worst teams in the NBA, I would put this version of them in the bottom 10 easily, maybe even in bottom 5. If Curry/Klay doesn't comeback quickly, they might actually miss the playoffs, not even joking, that team without Klay and curry can't make it to playoffs.

A large risk for a large prize. Whew.
Maybe I would go lower the risk by giving a shot as a Eastern Conference Champions only.
Look at the West Side. They are filled with power house teams and they are not messing around now.
Even with just the start of the regular season, they seem to be serious and are eyeing for that number 1 spot to take the lead.
The 2 LA big teams showed that already.

Feel bad for Curry's injury. It's a big yikes to the team that is chasing some morale since they have been not the best version of themselves in the start of the season.

James Harden, he's so great right now and that's pretty good to compensate what he have lost during the first two games. His FG is so down that time and it's time for him to retaliate for himself. And had a decent comeback from those two games. But, regarding that Washington game don't you think that it's not a foul? I mean, James Harden is pretty good at catching fouls just like that but, that one does not have a body contact. I mean, it had but only a minimal amount. Besides, all Bonga did was to raise his hands that's all.

Despite to their bad start of the season the warriors chances in the playoffs already doomed. Really not a good start but let's see how they'll handle this unfortunate situation since KT will not play this season, then it's up to D'Angelo Russel for warriors.

Rumors: Willie Cauley-Stein will now going to play in the upcoming weeks for warriors.

Really shocking injury.
I was watching the match live and when I saw the replay, the moment that Curry was falling down was really hair-raising.
Let's hope that when he will come back he will have the same and even better performance and help Warriors be on the top again.

For all the post you have made here, looks like this is the only one I will agree with especially with the last part. Warriors' foundation will not be balanced now.

But still kudos for them during the past seasons. This team is built from scratch and work hard on their way up. The Warriors core players are mainly not a superstar or even an All-Star cast when they entered the NBA but they reached that level because of pure effort and hard work.

But still, I will not close the book for this team. There's still a chance for playoffs if other members of the roster will try to step up no matter how hard it is. As I said, Curry, Thompson, etc. started as just a boy next door in the NBA without any recognition so maybe "someone" will step-up for them. It's difficult to cope up with playoffs spot in the West so each wins count. The remaining squad should just do what they can to win so that when Curry or Thompson comes back, they will not push hard for a playoff spot.

Big game tonight between LA Clippers and SA Spurs, with 3 wins from 3 games Spurs are ready to face the Clippers with a complete squad, either Clippers will miss Leonard Khawi and Paul George still absent but they have Williams, it will be an exciting game, but in their home I will bet for Los Angeles Clippers to win this game.

The warriors are done this season, I should say. It was a very disappointing injury for Curry since they are on a bad start and now the warriors will be playing most of their games without their main gunners. I'm sure curry will come back and I'm hoping for his speedy recovery though.

Clippers coming from that previous loss to Jazz would be exciting to see if they will be able to win if kawhai will be absent for today's game, Williams as always will lead them to this game trying to defend their crowd. In the other side, Spurs is showing good basketball they are bringing back the system where they are well known with. I'll be waiting for the live game and see if how things will b manage by both teams.

Everyone feels bad about him and hoping for his quick recovery. This is a big loss for the team but I know that he can count with the boys against San Antonio Spurs tomorrow.

I wouldn't say no, it's still early to assume that there are done this time. But you might be also correct with that and if the end of their era has come, we'll see it if they will not make it to the finals.

Kawhi will definitely play today, he was just given a 1 day rest and that is enough, he will be back playing at their home court and they will try to win this to avoid 2 losing streak. here's the news about Kawhi playing against the spurs,

[bbc.reporter]

Agreed! Kawhi will play. His absence versus the Jazz was load management made by Doc Rivers so he can play versus a more important game versus the Spurs.

No GSW for the playoffs right now (I think). Sad for us GSW fans but it doesn't mean that I will not be a GSW fan anymore. #SolidGSWFan .

I have watched a video on Youtube and they said already that they will just tank in this season now that Curry will be gone for some months because of his injury. With Curry gone, their chances of clinching of the playoffs right now is at around 20-25% only with some exceptions. If Russell and Green can lead the team without Curry and their young players can step up then they can be on the playoffs but at around 5-8 place.

The 7th or 8th spot should be fine.
Well I have seen them play like there is really chemistry going on. That is a good start already.
Green to GR3 and same goes for DLo which have been all around.
The other role players should not stop the defense if they cannot provide offense for the team. As long as they do this, then it will be fine.
They might all been shattered with what happen with Curry but they need to continue playing for the win.

So their odds to win is going to fall, it will be a good risk to bet for them.

[Oasisman]

Agreed! Kawhi will play. His absence versus the Jazz was load management made by Doc Rivers so he can play versus a more important game versus the Spurs.

Though I think load management is just another term for resting your player (most cases It's applicable for superstars). I remember Spurs was being fined for resting some of their superstars (Duncan, Parker, and Ginobli) upon approaching the playoffs. I didn't think the NBA will come up with a fancy term for resting called load management. Can't blame them, though they're being paid to play, they also need rest. But rest alone without any health issues might be considered or understood as a under estimating the opponent.
Kawhi on the other hand will surely play tonight as this is game is an important game for the team. Spurs is always gonna be the key game for every team in the west.
