2025 NBA Season

he can shoot without hesitation and his 3 point shooting is even improving IMO.

Not just that. We have to take note that most of Klay Thompson's FG attempts are well-contested. It means regardless if it's defended or not, he still nails those shots. His catch and shoot form is now returning slowly and while he progresses, he will now finally regain his usual form or even a much-improved one.

Lakers on the other hand did a great job to somehow make the game close even honestly, I think it's already a sure loss for me when they are being pinned down with a good lead at most part of the game.

On the other hand, Klay Thompson surprised everyone with his performance. If that will maintain, the Warriors will be again a threat to any team.

Everyone was surprised by how he performed recently. It is what he and the team should work but especially on him which he always going to feel the pressure for real.
The Dub nation is back as they say and this is likely the year of their comeback after all of those years that they fell shortly.

It's good for everyone that the rivalry between Durant and Harden is over

There's no rivalry but rather both players are just doing their job.

It's just that James Harden is the main scorer on his previous team that's why when being transferred to the Nets, he doesn't change his usual gameplay. Move forward now and let's see if James Harden will have a nice run in Philadelphia Sixers.

The same goes with Ben Simmons playing alongside Kevin Durant.

[agustina2]

So we will see where Harden is going to fit next year in the rotation, it seems that they are ready for big time this season.

Why next year? Is he not gonna play this season?

I think he will have his debut soon, though he is still not playing yet I'm pretty sure he is also excited to play with his new team. James Harden is still one of the superstars in the NBA, with a good teammates especially Harden, I think Sixers will be better and would probably be a championship team.

Maybe what the user is trying to say is, the half-season is not enough to see if James Harden will be fit on the Sixers. But who knows that Harden won't struggle on his new team. In the case that he's struggling to find his rhythm, we can only see the potential of that trade next season.

Sixers is fine before they received James Harden. I hope this team won't change their good momentum because of that trade.

That Los Angeles Lakers loss against the Golden State Warriors might be one of their losses where I read a few criticisms. Before there are lots of blaming issues when the Lakers are losing but last night, fans see that despite losing that game, they see that they are performing well.

Lots of situations where the Lakers are downed by mostly double-digit but still able to make a comeback and close out the game.

On the other hand, Klay Thompson surprised everyone with his performance. If that will maintain, the Warriors will be again a threat to any team.

To be honest, I initially expected the Lakers' performance to be much worse. Even though the Lakers lost again, they looked quite competitive against the Warriors. By the way, I just noticed that Monk played only 20 minutes in this match, and it's not entirely clear to me why coach Vogel decided to limit his time on the court. It seems to me Monk could have been more helpful for the team if Vogel had put him in the starting lineup instead of Johnson or Bradley.

Only time will tell if Harden really fits with the Sixers. Brooklyn is fine with the players that they've got. They got 2 defenders in Simmons and Drummond and a top shooting guard in Curry. Sixers got better now but Nets are more better now.

With regards to Harden, I just hope that his hamstring injury will not be a problem on his performance all throughout the season because many are expecting that they will get the championship because of acquiring Harden and at the same time how Embiid is playing right now. Still Harden will find a way to be efficient in his new team.

Impressive game from the Lakers is much more if they win that one, an upset for Warriors in front of the fans.

not sure why Monk didn't get that minute he uses to have. I agree that he can help with the numbers he got
but this time coach Vogel got something in mind.

They almost but GSW did not allow them let see if lakers will continue playing like this. The chance still alive
after seeing them compete like this..

Well I said that because I was under the impression that it will take long for his injury to heal. Last year he has the said hamstring injury and it was really evident in their series against the Bucks wherein he has a horrendous shooting and there were one instance wherein he opted to pass the ball instead of shooting outside.

But news are coming out that he may have fake his injury because maybe he wanted to be traded. So if he is healthy then by all means he can play with his new team.

Well... unfortunately Ja Morant got injured a few days ago playing against Hornets.

I Google it and didn't find any relevant information about his injury.

Was his injury serious? Will he return 100% healthy for the regular season? Some information or updates!!?

Thanks

Looks like they also win some games without him and they don't really make get any big problem when he is not there. They are securing the number 3 spots in the Western Conference for the NBA playoffs. But still, without him, there will be fewer fans since they were expecting to see some amazing dunks from him. Hope he gets back again and we can see some more of his unbelievable play but this time he needs to adjust how he land from jumping high if he want to prolong his career in the NBA.

I do not know where to start, but the game between the Warriors vs Lakers was something that is a must watch! We got to see a glimpse of the past especially in the last quarter where Lakers was able get their first lead of the game. Fortunately, Westbrook showed on why he was a previous MVP and LBJ was still the same dominant player in the league.

Fortunately, Klay exploded in the last quarter where he was able to drill 16 points on that quarter alone. Kuminga will be the next franchise player of the Warriors especially he played exceptionally well. To be honest, this was a perfect game where both teams showed their strengths.

It's a good game, I think. Lakers are struggling to find their offensive man and I think it's obvious for most of us which should be it, Anthony Davis. GSW is playing small ball and they can take advantage of that. The proof is the offensive rebound made by them, 12 for Lakers, 10 for Warriors.
GSW however have someone that stepped up his game big time. Klay Thompson. He cannot put how the game was in words when interviewed.
Wiggins will also be in highlights after that block shot with Lebron.

Honestly really surprised how well klay is playing.  Dude hasn't really seen a live game in 2 years and ends up coming back without missing a beat.  Shows how great the guy really is.  I want to see a gs and Suns west conf finals.  Would male for an epic showdown.

At first, he's struggling and made the team struggled too because he's not yet used to their rotation and the same thing with his team mates with KT. But he worked hard even if he just got back and transit quickly until now where he play 20+ or 30+ every game, the man has a pure skill and talent despite not playing professional ball in 2 years.

In the Finals? There's a high chance that they will but I bet the other leading teams will argue about it first.

Also cannot find any sources for the injury so I guess it means he is okay. He stepped on the cameraman but not after landing from the air so I think it's not much of an impact to create a scary injury.

Holy crap. I didn't know Kristaps Porzingis was traded. Just found out about it after reading this.
Davis Bertans says players on Wizards were fighting with each other over minutes, roles 'every single day'

One of the best parts of the NBA trade deadline every year is when unexpected deals pop up out of nowhere. Like, for example, the blockbuster between the Mavericks and Wizards that sent Kristaps Porzingis and a second-round pick to Washington, and Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans to Dallas

So that's the reason why the Wizards were not playing well unlike their first 15 games. Locker room issues.  
Anyway, I was shocked more about the KP trade and this might be a good change for the Mavs. After all Doncic and KP were not on good terms.

Yeah it doesn't looked too bad. He doesn't seem bothered by it when he returned in the fourth quarter. Ankle injuries usually just require some basic treatments and few days rest.

Holy crap. I didn't know Kristaps Porzingis was traded.

I was actually surprise because he was playing well before the knee injury. It looks like Dallas doesn't want to take the risk of taking an injury prone big man anymore.

Harden - Simmons was the highlight of the trade deadline but there have been plenty of moves and you can check them out at the NBA trade tracker.

Warriors - Lakers game was very enjoyable last night as I expected. I was waiting for Warriors to defeat Lakers easier but Lakers resisted them really well and it ended 117-115. The thing that made me happy the most was that Klay Thompson scored 33 points in this game and finally started performing like himself. Curry played really good too by scoring 24 points. I want to see this duo performing like this mostly and the team can be more successful like this too.

He was the hero in that game, 4th quarter is all his, I mean his 3 point shooting was very accurate and that's what you called a clutch player. Thompson is definitely very dangerous in the court, he can shoot without hesitation and his 3 point shooting is even improving IMO.

The scary part is, Warriors were great before Klay came back, and now that he is back and playing these type of games, it is even more insane. I can't believe that they were second ranked in the league without Klay and now got him as well, they are going to be a dominating force in the playoffs as well.

I do not see them as great as they used to be a few years ago when they dominated the league, but they are still quite big name in the league and could beat anyone on their best day. Lakers on the other hand reached 5 game behind the 50% mark as well, that is as bad as you could imagine for a team that is spending that much money on 3 superstar level players.

There is a really nice game tomorrow morning between Clippers and Warriors. And Warriors are playing against the other Los Angeles team after defeating Lakers by a close score gap. Clippers and Lakers are having a similar season now actually. Warriors are still highly the favourite to win this game like they were against Lakers too. I wonder whether we will see another great show by Thompson and Curry. Thompson was great against Lakers and I'm expecting a similar performance from him in this one too.

It will happen eventually when Thompson heats up. It would be best if the splash brothers will have the same performance as it becomes more entertaining and intense for the team they are up against to play better.
The Clippers key players will be Terrance Mann and Morris Sr. as Powell is out with foot injury to contribute for the team. I believe whenever those two play well it becomes contagious and the whole team plays well just like how they did it versus the Mavericks.

They were great because Draymond was there, but you have to remember that Draymond is injured and without him, the defensive side of the warriors are a little weak. Wait until Draymond Green will come back and you'll see an old Warriors that are very dominant.

I'm expecting a Warriors win with this match, should be a one-sided show I guess. I think Clippers wasn't having the same season with Lakers when both of Clippers best player isn't out there making shots compare to Lakers roster that has a healthy best players. As I've said it will be a one side show and expecting some flash scores from their best players.

Warriors will win but I think it's going to be a close game. If you look at the previous match of the Clippers, they are not easily giving up, they are also winning games, reason why they are still hanging around having a chance to qualify in the playoffs. But, good luck with your pick if you'll try to put a bet on this game, it should be an entertaining game to watch.

Well... anyway Ja Morant is an important player for Memphis, we can't deny that, I believe his lack of playoffs could harm the team.

Regarding his injury, I believe it was nothing too serious!
I saw the video and I think it was a sprain and a few weeks of recovery and he will be back. (Of course that's my assumption).
