2025 NBA Season

[diyetisman]

Nets couldn't have an easy win against Spurs today. It is still good for them to win by 121-119 after overtime. Spurs are not one of the fascinating teams of this season in fact but they still did a good job by making difficulties for Nets in this game. Harden and KD had the role to carry again and they did it successfully. I think that Harden was better as he made a double-double by 26 points and 12 assists. And if he was able to get 3 more rebounds, he would have made a triple-double.

Phoenix Suns are having just a great season and it is really hard to stop them. But Miami Heat made it last night by beating them, 123-100. They beat Suns even in an away game which makes the win more special for them. Heat just destroyed them especially in the second quarter and managed to keep the gap at a high level to the end. And this was the game Tyler Herro being the player of the game for sure after some break. He scored 33 points and played a big role in this victory.

Even though Miami Heat was missing so many players and even important ones like Butler and Adebayo, they were surprisingly so dominant and even had a big lead throughout the game. I was actually expecting an easy win for Suns. But the Heat did a great job and managed to get a solid win. Suns did terribly about their rebounding, only got 35 as a team. From their centers Deandre Ayton and JaVale McGee 8 and 1 respectively. On the other hand Heat got 45 rebounds and the rookie center Omer Yurtseven got 16 only himself.

I wonder if having Kyrie back with the team on and off is going to cause problems with their play. It seems like they struggle a bit without him, but at least they got the W.

Today’s big story though is obviously Klay Thompson’s return to the Warriors. It’s been a long time since the splash brothers have played together. I’m just hoping for a safe return and for Klay to nail that first big 3.

Personally, I think it will cause them problem because of Kyrie's inconsistently to be on the team day in day out. As you can see when he plays, when he has the ball everyone is just watching him doing his one on one.

True, it will have a big coverage for sure, it is going to be TNT to cover the game? Not sure.

But as a basketball fans, all eyes is on this game and for sure everyone wanted to see Klay in the court after being out for 2 years and hoping for a safe return and this will give the Warriors the ++ to be one of the favourites to win the NBA again because the core team is back.

Surprised to see it come down to the final minutes in this game.  Spurs aren't that good and starting to wonder how the Nets will hold up in a long series versus some upper tier teams.  The Nets are definitely better with kyrie but seems like kyrie isn't gonna bend and get vexed, and ny isn't gonna bend either.  Should make for an interesting situation where the Nets would be better off as a lower seed and on the road more than home for playoffs.

I think that the arena will absolutely explode when he hits his first shot.

Just don't expect too much though, he obviously still needs to get back to playing condition and it's definitely not easy having been out for 2+ years. But once he does he will propel the Warriors to the next level in the playoffs.

You can tell that he is itching though, and a lot of fans have been flooded with rumours of his return for quite a while now. Would be good to have it finally become reality.

I remember the rumour circulating that he will be back in November, but it was pushed through until this day. I'm expecting like just 10 minutes of play for Klay or until he hits his first shot in his comeback game. The Warriors don't need to push him in his first game.

He has been practicing with the team though for many months now, but it's different when you are on a real basketball game. So we will see how good and if Klay still has that spot shooting (I'm sure he still has it).

Just don't expect too much though, he obviously still needs to get back to playing condition and it's definitely not easy having been out for 2+ years.

Contrary to all feedbacks that he will find his rhythm first, I'm thinking the other way. I'm expecting him to be in his usual shape and form once returned. The reason is simple, his mindset was already prepared for long that's why no need to find that rhythm as it's already there. I also don't think he will have a limited playing time. I guess he will play around 30 mins. on tonight's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Before anything else, let's see then later what he got after a long hiatus.

There is no way he gets 30 minutes of run that's like 3/4 of every quarter.  Guys that are in game shape have a tough time being effective that long.  He will get tops 10-15 minutes.  Practicing with your team is an insanely different flavor than game speed.  They don't practice at game speed.  When guys are out for a month they talk about it taking time to get back into game shape.  Dudes been off for 2 years.  I hope for the best but it will be awhile to see how this will all play out.

Even though Miami Heat was missing so many players and even important ones like Butler and Adebayo, they were surprisingly so dominant and even had a big lead throughout the game.

Let us also mention that he wasn't a starter. Another notable player in Heat uniform is Duncan Robinson who also came off the bench. This is what's good about this team. You never really know who will come up big even if Butler or Lowry is out. The other day it was Max Strus and now those two. I don't know what kind of talk their coach does but he's doing a good job.

Only if Kyrie is not a PG, then his on and off can be covered. But he is the playmaker of the team, therefore it can really affect their usual gameplay as Kyrie's presence on the floor is not regular. I don't know what's still on his mind why it's hard for him to get vaccinated. He is under contract and playing under the league's term. He can't just push his freedom of speech if he likes to do so.

If Nets will be on Finals, I'm sure he will still choose not to play rather than getting vaccinated.

Well, that could also mean that the Nets will have an inconsistency with their rotation as Kyrie going in and out of the rotation every time they play at home or away.
Also, Kyrie plays like that he's entire career, he's more of an ISO player the only way to blend in to his style of play is to keep moving even without the ball and find an open spot where he can find you.
I've seen it work while he's with the Cavs with LeBron and Love. His attitude is one of the few main reason why he left 2 of the teams not in a good terms and will probably ruin the team chemistry, and of course that lead them to a L.

In the back of my mind, he will play and feel like a hero, especially if they win a title.

Kyrie always has that star mentality. He always thinks that he's special. I do hope NBA will be more strict and not to allow him
in case that NETS managed to play for the finals.

He's in a contract and under with NBA's rules and regulations, he should not place his freedom as token not to follow..

[OgNasty]

I can’t believe the Cavs are waiving Tacko Fall. Besides being a fan favorite, the guy was pretty good. I think he had a chance at being as impactful as Bol Bol and in a few years could’ve been a great asset. It’s not like he’s making a lot of money… Someone should pick him up for a backup center. He could be a Boban type role player on a good team…

Klay is about to take the court for the Warriors.

We can expect anything from Irving, but it would be irresponsible of him to miss the final series just because of principles. In that case, he would just let his teammates down, considering that he is still one of the key players on the team. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the Nets decided to trade him after that.

Finally! Klay Thompson is back and they win the game against the Cavs today. This is what we have looking for and we are watching it right now. the old days are back with the GSW splash brothers and some other addition to the team makes them an NBA Finals contender once again.

Western Conference suddenly became scarier.  Not bad for a debut for Klay Thompson after 2 years of rest. A dunk, three 3-pointers, and a block.
But why do I feel nervous whenever he trips, slips, or lands his feet after a high flight? I guess I am the one with the mental issue now instead of him. Trauma. 
It's a good sign if he can dunk during a live game, that means he got over the mental problems whenever a player comes back from an injury. All the time given to him resting and preparing was worth the wait.

[gagux123]

Well unfortunately I couldn't watch the entire game, I only saw some highlights.
But... I confess that Thompson's return to the Warriors made a significant difference, Klay only played 20 minutes and scored 17 points!

Let's see if in the future he will be able to maintain that level, and if Curry and Thompson play as they did in past seasons, I believe that this time the Warriors have great chances to be champions, but I believe GSW will easily reach it to ECF

The Chase Center were definitely flooded by people especially the GSW fans just to see Klay play again for about 2 years of inactivity due to his injury. And as expected, Steve Kerr only allowed him to play 20 minutes on the court but Klay is still very capable throwing 3s and driving the ball towards the ring, he even dunked against Stevens and Markkanen on the 2nd quarter, overall he made 17 pts and 3 rebs.
Now, the Splash Brothers are back again! With Green which will make them more tougher this season.

The Cavaliers has many big players already. They have Allen, Markannen and Mobley and also add Love. They don't need another big again.
I also watched some highlights with Tacko Fall included and it seems like he is just focusing on the inside. I mean if he is on the court, players will just shoot at the perimeter or at the three point line which often went in. At least you got the point .

Right now, I don't see any team who must acquire him right now though he really is very entertaining to the crowd because of his height and how he is dominating at the paint but lets wait if any team will give him contract.
