2025 NBA Season

[Rufsilf]

@OgNasty, we thought that LA will never be able to come back due to his heart problem but he was playing very well this season. Heat might give him a chance but if other teams will be interested in him, like the Lakers, maybe he can grab the opportunity and play with Lebron whom he is familiar with already since they both won a championship back in Miami.

Yeah, the LA Lakers will likely to give Bosh an opportunity rather than the Heat and if it will happen then it's a good news and it would really mean much for the Lakers even if it's just a 10-day contract because their team really needs some help from another superstar whom LeBron is familiar and the chemistry is good. Bosh will be a good replacement of Davis even if it's temporary. But as I read the article, seems that Bosh is only interested on the Miami Heat.

Another good game is the Warriors vs Utah too, best teams in the West collide, Warriors took early lead in the first two quarters by the Utah team managed to comeback in the third and took a good lead.

But the Warriors keeps coming back with Porter and Steph. Curry was on fire hitting his favourite shot, but it was Iggy, yes, the veteran provided the dagger three that sealed the game. Jab steps against Gobert and then that clutch shot. He can still bounce too, had several dunks in the game.

Nets really surprised me by the result they got against Clippers last night. In their home court, they were beaten by 120-116. It was a so competitive game that I really appreciated Clippers' effort also. Because they were deprived of Paul George in this one also who is one of their most crucial players. But thanks to a strong team play, they somehow managed to win by a close gap. Harden was still the player of the game of course. He got a great triple-double with 34 pts, 12 reb, 13 ast. If Durant was able to score at least the same amount of points as Harden's, Nets would have won this game.

I don't think there will be immediately chemistry though, Bosh has been out for years and maybe he will be given limited minutes too. Maybe some fans are going to be sentimental to see him play with Lebron again. But it doesn't mean it will translate that the Lakers will become a good team. There's a lot that needed to be done in Lakers, I mean we have seen how the team turns into a the laughing stock of the NBA because of it's superstars not jiving along and have streak of losses.

I just read that Chris Bosh is hoping to use this pandemic nonsense to get himself a 10 day contract with the Miami Heat.  He's been itching to get back on the court ever since his health issues caused him an early retirement.  He's said for years that he's still in playing shape and is ready willing and able to do so.  While I'm not sure any team would really want the risk of a player dying on the court, it might be nice to give him a 10 day contract and use the current horrible situation that NBA teams are in to at least bring joy to one man and his fans.  Bosh deserves it and I hope we get to see him take a jumper from the elbow before the season ends.

It's very unfortunate for Bosh to have made an early retirement, and yeah he deserves another chance. This 10-day contract really is becoming a thing in the NBA this year. They bringing back players who has vanished unnoticed like Mario Chalmers who is also going to sign a 10-day contract to the Heat.
I'm just not sure whether Bosh has been working out a lot since he decided to have an early retirement, but he completely deserves to play again.

Of course, but they are looking for Bosh to make a contribution in his 10 day contract if ever the Lakers or even Miami get his services.

And hopefully, Bosh can show some glimpse of himself maybe battle for a rebound, score 10 points at least in one game and fans are definitely going to be happy seeing him back even in just short span of time.

Golden State Warriors won even with a fully healthy Utah Jazz. Without Draymond Green to lead the offense and their defense, other players had stepped up their game. One of them is Andre Iguodala who made a lot of wise decisions to prevent the Jazz from taking the lead.
I bet they will put in the top 10 highlights one of his classy moves. The dime to Wiggins but missed the shot and then Iggy followed it with a dunk.   Then the 3 point dagger to close the game. Classic Iguodala putting a show at the Jazz floor.

Jazz had a lot to prove in this game but unfortunately defense is dead nowadays. Just look at the shots jazz gave up to poor defense at the end of a close game. Actually no defense I must say... But those who haven't seen old school don't know what defense really is. I'm not taking anything from GSW btw, their the one to beat rn but it would be better to see them face real defense at the end of a road game against a top team.

Mitchell had a very bad shooting, he is only 4-19, that's what happens when someone chooses to shoot the ball more instead of facilitating it to his teammates. It's a very typical Mitchell, it usually happened against a good team and we saw it again, that's why Jazz would never succeed because if their opponent knows how to limit or stop Mitchell, the whole offense will be affected.

Yeah, it was really Iggy who win the game for the Warriors with that dagger 3 at the end and with Rudy Gobert to boot as his defender. Otto Porter did great too and see is GP, Wiggins and Poole. So it's a complete game by the Warriors lead by Steph Curry. When they took the lead I said that Jazz will need to have a big comeback to win the game and they did. However, in the last 4 minutes it seems that they run out of steam already and let the Warrior score easy points in the paint uncontested.

Curry was heavily defended by Royce O'neal, those shots that he made was all contested pretty good but it's just Steph Curry being himself. He nailed all those threes even in a bad position and even tried a long deuce that we haven't seen much from him. He should do that kind of heating up more frequently before taking the threes because it puts him in rhythm.
And he broke another record. It was his own.

Curry scored a three-pointer for the 158th successive game, breaking his previous record of 157 which had stood since November 2016.

So Jordan Poole is back 17 minutes, 10 points. Not bad for a come back after a long rest due to Covid illness.

They don't improve, they are the same team last season and we might see the same result this season and that would make them exit before the WCF. I don't know if there's something they can improve, but if they are just too reliant on Mitchell giving him the full freedom to shoot whenever he wants, that would make their team out of rhythm.

If we saw some games when Mitchell was out, the ball movement was great and they are more unpredictable, remember that the Jazz lose against the Clippers last season and Leonard was even out that time.

I don't think comparing Bosh with Lebron is a good idea in terms of fitness.

Lebron is by far one of the fittest players in the league right now. And Bosh is also 37 years old. But if he feels like he can give it another shot, I think it's worth a try for him and the team as well. His experience will come in handy for them. Watching Bosh in the court again would be a pleasure for any.

It is not really about Lebron playing against a bad team or a good team, it is about him still being able to do it at the age of 37 on his 19th season. It just doesn't make sense how he does it as well. Like maybe Steph will be that good when he is that old, why? Because, he is a shooter and you can shoot very easily when you are 37, hell you can still shoot at 47 with ease as long as you practice but other parts would fall of a cliff at that age. Lebron is different, he is built like a truck and he is 6'8 at the same time, dude still runs the floor very fast and dunks over people at age 37.

Like yeah 43 points is already incredible enough but we are talking about him doing it by forcing his way inside whenever he wants to even at that age. I have to say there has been no player like Lebron at age 37 ever before, dude is by far the best at that age for sure.

There is no denying that Lebron is a phenomenal player even at this age. Most basketball players start to fade away after 35 or something or maybe 32. But look at this guy, performing at the highest level in the top tier and giving his best in every game. 

What you said is true, that one can even be a good shooter at the age of 47 because it doesn't need the physical ability as much as being a PF or a Center. Lebron plays in these 2 positions where strength and pace are very much needed and he is still the best at what he does.

Watched the game between GSW vs Grizzlies and I am in awe for the whole game. Clarkson, Ingles, and Mitchell played a fantastic game and offense throughout. But they fell short on firepower as GSW unleashed Curry's dagger and Iggy's game-sealing 3 on the final minutes on the clock.

Like what I previously mentioned, the way on how GSW develops their players is just remarkable and commendable. They always prioritize their new players in finding those extra precious minutes on the field in order to develop confidence as they will be replacing the starters soon enough. Porter, Poole, and Payton did their respective roles which added the cherry on top for this win.

It's the kind of execution that matters in the end, Warriors are a really good team especially in the 4th quarter and they really did a great job over the Jazz. Their experience ( especially the coaching staff) is their big advantage in the game and they made a statement to the Jazz home by beating them.

That was a clean win from GSW over Jazz. Even though they didn't have Green with them, they have won this match and hardly have they put a foot wrong.

GSW are looking quite sharp as a team so far this season,. Wiggins scored 25 points and as always, Curry doing Curry-things with scoring 28 and 9 assists and 6 rebounds. Although Jazz also played a very well team-oriented game and it was a close match nevertheless. Congrats to GSW for the win.

Even without DG, the Warriors were still able to operate and move the ball freely, Utah Jazz on the other hand showed such consistency, well not until in the 4th quarter wherein Curry exploded alongside Iggy. I was also relieved that Jordan Clarkson stopped draining shots in the 4th, man that 3rd quarter was definitely his quarter as he put on a show, Mitchell provided but the whole team performance wasn't enough to defeat the best team record-wise in the season.

I have to say that I expected the Nets to win this one but they have disappointed me.  It was a Durant and Harden show for most of the part for the Nets and on the other hand, Clippers played a team game. Their squad depth came in handy as 6 players scored double digits in points. In my opinion, Bruce Brown had a disappointing match which cost them the match.

Do you guys think that squad depth might be a problem for Nets?

As they will struggle a lot if KD or Harden fails to perform in any given match.

If Jazz wants to improve their game, they have to do something about Mitchell. I'm not saying that he is a bad player, but he needs to learn when to shoot and when to pass to his teammates.

The guy shoots whenever he wants and this freedom should be taken away from him. He is giving away too many turnovers in my opinion. All I can say is, either tell him to pass more, play unselfish, or don't play him. I'm being harsh on him but it is what it is.

We know that players like Lebron or Curry have somewhat of freedom about what they do as they are very well aware of what they are doing and they are the best at what they do. But players like Mitchell should not be given such freedom in my opinion.

Mitchell has a lot of time with only 5points lead but instead of trying to attack and get an end one he chooses to throw the ball.

I mean that air ball that he did in last 30 second or more, not a good decision but it was Mitchell
and Jazz needs to accept that.

Unlike with GSW, the rotation of players is very organized, they are trusting each other, I really enjoy that last shot of Iggy.
nice to sign him back. He's really comfortable playing.
