2025 NBA Season

[borovichok]

And you know what was the great thing about Denver Nuggets? They were playing really good and almost a title contender without Jamal Murray when he was injured. And without him, Jokic played crazy and they were quite successful for a team that lost its star. I think that he is a really great player. Maybe can be called superstar even. His highlight plays are unbelievable. I also agree that in that last possession, he was obviously planned to get the ball and use the last second opportunity. And he executed perfectly. Well, too bad for Portland. They indeed did everything they could. But sometimes other team just have one of those moments.

There's some key parts in the game and there are also keyplayers who always have the way to change the game completely with their performance and effective teamwork. The nuggets played very well, just that they were underrated. We all know what always happen to teams that are underrated, they always ended up shocking their opposition with outstanding performance. They really did well without the presence of Jamal Murray and Jokic took the burden upon his shoulders as he had a high profile performance in the game.

I’m watching the Lakers vs 76ers game and man is this De’Anthony Melton kid lighting up the scoreboard. He is 8/11 from 3 point range on his way to 30 points.  I don’t think the Sixers would’ve won this game without him. A great performance for a relatively unknown player against multiple hall of famers. He’s going to be one happy guy when he gets home tonight. I’m happy for him, but would have preferred a Lakers win as they’ve been playing great lately.

I'm surprised that this game went to OT, I was watching in the 4th quarter but the Sixers already had a good lead, I'm surprised when I come back that the game was already in overtime. Still plenty of time left, but it's still the sixers who are leading in the OT period.

Ya, I didn’t expect them to take it to overtime. I think when I made that post they were down by 8 with under a minute left. Almost a great comeback.

How about Zion tonight also? The guy was putting on a show. I think the MVP race might now be between Luka, Giannis and Zion. If Zion stays healthy the Pelicans are going to be making some noise in the postseason.

That'd probably have ended as one of the biggest flop in NBA history If Los Angeles Lakers had been able to secure that win, having come backing from 9 points down with less than 30 secs to go, I felt it was pretty much game over already for 76ers after Anthony Davis was sent to the line with just 3.4 sec left and AD proceeded to score the first FT only to send the game to OT, it still wouldn't have been short of a famous victory if only the Lakers could win it in OT, but they lost all their composure and momentum as the OT got started and couldn't even get any bucket until their 9th attempt.

[OgNasty]

The Suns vs Pelicans had an interesting ending. Look it up on Twitter. Zion got the ball and did a 360 windmill dunk on a fast break after the win was already secured. This made the Suns pretty angry and nearly started a brawl. I think the Suns are a little full of themselves all the sudden. Devon Booker and Chris Paul are a couple of the biggest prima donnas in the NBA now. I don’t like it…

Dunk away Zion! Nobody in the NBA can do shit to you.

Luka was the most consistent of the 3 IMO, but the season is still too early, still plenty of things that are gonna happen, so let's wait for the exciting part. By the way, Two mvps are playing against each other now, Luka vs Giannis but it's Luka's team who are ahead now. 12 points lead by Dallas, 66-78.

[Sanitough]

Big win by the Bucks, although Giannis was fouled out late in the 4th quarter but his teammates were able to do the unfinished job for him. Their defense is the key to the win, and Dallas lots of turnovers and miss FT's cost them this game. It was an entertaining game to watch overall, hopefully Dallas will learn more how to play better in clutch times.

Bucks were able to use their experience in clutch time, I'm happy they won but not so happy because my bet didn't cover the spread. I have a bet on Bucks -1.5 but Bucks only won by 1 point, so I lose my bet. Giannis beginning to explode in the 4th quarter but his very aggressive move cost him an early foul trouble, he was fouled out but good thing they still win.

Something that coach Kidd need to address inside the dugout, they blew that double digit lead after the 3rd quarter. What a play for Lopez. Not sure why they forget about him.

I mean, he's the tallest guy for the Bucks and giving him space close to the basket is an easy basket
for him, a perfect execution from Holiday seeing that the defense collapse inside and Lopez take that
opportunity real quick to snatch the win in front of the Mavs fans.

[passwordnow]

It was a good foul made by Jordan Clarkson and the refs just romanticized it and it's all good not until Kuminga probably said something that made JC in total rage. I'm not sure what he said but it seems that those words flamed JC and made him react that way, maybe as an insult or what.
Anyway, it's great revenge being done by the whole Jazz against Kuminga. They've won in the last few seconds of the game, JC's smiling for sure in the locker.

I think it was not a good foul, he was behind Kuminga and still tried to get the ball, so at that angle, it was a clear foul, he was only penalized for Flagrant foul 2 because he showed his fist as if he is ready to fight. I understand that frustration but he has to realize that to win, being cool is always the best thing to do. For the refs, the actions are more visible than the words, so that alone I'm sure he knows that already.

What I mean, they're about to lose the game and usually, that's normal for a player to do a foul like that just to stop the opponent. JC just did the right thing on this one.
But the surprise was there when Kuminga said probably something JC didn't like and made him react like that. Well, he's been ejected and punished and the game was over already and Utah Jazz still won.

I didn't get to watch that game, but I saw some highlights of that match and it was interesting.
Indeed Melton played well, but Harden (28) and Embiid (38) also had a great performance in that game.
I was imagining, if the Lakers could win that game, I believe that if LeBron James stood out, maybe LAL could have won this game.
By the way, AD had a relevant performance, and also collaborated with the team, Westbrook had an acceptable performance, with a triple double (which is one of his main characteristics)

Melton for the 76ers, Reaves for the Lakers. These guys stepped up their games.
The Lakers did great at their comeback in the regulation and forced it to overtime. They may have not won but that is some game they showed tonight.
It proved they are not to be messed with anymore unlike the 1st ten games of the season.

Bucks were able to use their experience in clutch time, I'm happy they won but not so happy because my bet didn't cover the spread. I have a bet on Bucks -1.5 but Bucks only won by 1 point, so I lose my bet.

Sorry for that bro.
Mine was player props for Giannis at 43 PRA, he only got 41 PRA and then he fouled out. Sad. I thought they could win that challenge as Tim landed first before him but the refs decided it was still a foul. Luckily, all Mavs free throws missed, and that got Luka frustrated to walk out after the game.

It went into overtime, so the Lakers has the chance to win. Unfortunately, they have gassed out in the regulation, they have to climb back and again, forced an overtime. But it seems that was the last straw as they were able to score 2 points only in the overtime.

Austin Reaves for the Lakers did a good job in this game scoring 25 points. WB triple double, but Melton's 33 points was too much for the Lakers to contend.

It was just close for us but still an L..... Anyway, let's just bounce back next time, that's normal in betting, we lose sometimes and we win sometimes, if we will stop betting, that would also stop the excitement in watching, so just get used to it, eventually we will be able to hit the jackpot. haha

Lakers made a good comeback in the fourth quarter that's why it went into OT. It was wild as we thought that Sixers is going to win already, I mean 9 points down with less than a minute if I'm not mistaken then forcing an OT that could really hurt the Sixers.

The Lakers though have a chance to win if only Davis hit both free throws with 3.7 left.

But the good thing is that they keep themselves, composed and didn't let that huge comeback by the Lakers hurt the team.

Not only Davis, but Reaves could have given the Lakers a one point lead if he just make all 3 FT, unfortunately he hits 2/3. And they still have a good chance this time it was on Davis shoulder, but then again 1/2.

In the OT it was not even close, the Lakers scored their only point in OT when the game is already decided.

Pat Bev drives for a 2 point and that's it. And this could be one of the greatest comeback though if Lakers win in OT.

Could've been one of the greatest come back if they have won it, unfortunately they're still a team that's still struggling how to close out the game. Though there are improvements, but I hope they'll finally figure it out.
Their top priority this season should enter the 2023 playoffs, i believe they're a much stronger team in a 7 game series, than in a regular season games.
One thing to consider to achieve this is to keep AD healthy all throughout the season, otherwise they'll end up missing the playoffs again.

It sure is, Harden made sure that won't happen. He went berserk at overtime and did it all. I think he made 9 of those 13 points in overtime.

Keep AD healthy, that is their key to win every game. Rest him if they think their opponent can be handled by the other players.
Make him the VIP of the team as it is a fact that he is the only one who could bring them more wins than any players. Yes, that includes Lebron and Westbrook.

Embiid played really well for Philadelphia 76ers. He started the game in a really devastating way. And that was very challenging to contain for Lakers. James Harden was at the heart of everything that was happening for Philadelphia 76ers. He had really smooth coordination with both Melton and Embiid.

For Lakers, Russell Westbrook, and Anthony Davis actually had good coordination in this game. Actually, Lakers played really well. But they did face some difficulties on the defensive side. I think if Lakers can start defending a bit better, they will be able to bring results in their favor.

As a result, the Lakers have now lost three games in a row. They are not the only team with several superstars that is having trouble this season. The Warriors and Heat are both having trouble breaking into the top eight. Nevertheless, the Lakers demonstrated that they can compete with the best teams. They have six straight road games; their final one is against the Pistons, which they should be able to win before returning to Los Angeles. It will be intriguing how they will do against the Celtics and Nuggets at home.
