2026 NBA Season

[AHOYBRAUSE]

Just to add, the Bucks are now 24th on defense and they have a problem in perimeter defense. An awful defense will not lead to a title hence, there's a chance that Giannis might request for a trade. Hmmm Why did the Bucks didn't resign Thanasis?

I think it was because of money. Thanasis demanded a max contract since he thinks this should be an award for his legacy with the Bucks. They didn't see it that way and declined, so he instead signed with the Mavericks for 50mil 2 years. Oh.... wait. 

Another thing I was wondering about the NBA just now. We all know there will be an expansion and the 2 most likely teams are Las Vegas and Seattle right? But there might be a little problem, will they add both teams to the western conference or what's their plan with this. Seattle obviously must be in the western conference but Vegas is also deep in the west, I guess there is no other way.

That Christian Braun dunk over Rudy Gobert was crazy. Not everyday that somebody gets a defensive player of the year like that. Gobert was probably right to get angry with Braun screaming in his face like that afterwards too. He looked scared when Westbrook was running over. Glad nobody did anything to get suspended.

Its just part of the game and maybe Braun just got hype that he dunk over the defensive player of the year that's why he act like that. To funny that Westbrook tolerate his teammates doing those unnecessary action, but maybe that is just part of the show.

But those commotions still became nothing as the Wolves still defeat Nuggets, they got the last laugh after all. This is close game and one of the best game I watch today. Now Nuggets have 2 -3 record and to bad for the since it seems they are struggling to get more wins this season.

Here is the video for those who wanted to see it,



Gobert didn't like what Braun did to him and then he goes and bump it, so it's obvious that Christian Braun is dunking. Could be early candidate for the dunk of the year. As for Rudy, he was been posterized many times, however, it was the bump that he might not like about that big dunk on him.

When I watched the video, I got a different context that Rudy just got mad about the taunting of Christian Braun. Well, he's right to get mad there but I understand that Braun probably taunts that way because it looks a prouding moment to him. A DPOY got posterized by him is an achievement.

It's not the first time though that we have heard screaming and taunting when someone gets dunk. so not sure why Rudy reacted this way. Most likely he really didn't like the reaction on Christian or Rudy didn't know that Braun can do it to him.

Not sure if there will be suspensions or fines from either side, but in any case, Rudy had a great game with 17 points and 13 rebounds.

And probably that is the most important thing as they got the victory and the Nuggets continue with their struggle this season.

No, Gobert is just a sore loser. He couldn’t handle getting dunked on by a smaller guy, especially since his pride is built around defense - that’s how he won Defensive Player of the Year twice. In this case, he couldn’t block it, so Braun definitely had something to celebrate. If Gobert were a good sport, he’d let the young guy have his moment, even if it was at his expense. Lol.

So true, Most NBA player that over hype act like this one someone which they think below them suddenly break their pride. He should behave like a professional since it’s just a simple dunk. His DPOY title doesn’t mean no one can dunk you already rather it’s the stats matter.

Watching the replay show how immature and unprofessional he is. Even his questionable absent during crucial games in playoffs seems like Wolves did a poor choice to acquire this guy in expense of their core players.

Gobert already has that “immature” label attached to him. If you remember, during the early COVID-19 days, he was questioned and criticized for his actions.

Rudy Gobert reflects on microphone incident: 'If I could go back in time, I wouldn't do it'

Rudy Gobert testing positive for COVID-19 in March marked a turning point in our understanding of the pandemic. It set off a rapid chain of events in the sports industry that mirrored the world's sudden scramble as people began to grasp the gravity of the coronavirus.

And this is outside covid,
Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert fined again for money gesture at refs

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert has an interesting relationship with the NBA's officials, to say the least, and things probably did not improve after Gobert made a familiar gesture during Minnesota's Game 4 loss to the Denver Nuggets that is going to cost him a bit of money.

Hahaha, he was beaten by his own pride I agree to your statement he just allow the man celebtrates after that dunk it's part of the game better to make a good timing to recover the embarrassment but instead his hard headed mentality brings him to this kind of act, be a sport especially that you won the best defensive player you always have your time, though that's something that will bring boost to both side they'll use it to push harder and try to win the game.

You know what is the even scarier part? Dallas could definitely get Giannis if they wanted to. Not saying they can keep all their team and still get Giannis, that would be pretty hard, not sure what the rules are for getting a third star player and how their salary cap would look, I do not think that could happen.

But I know that next season is Kyries last season, meaning they are going to have one year of Kyrie left, and if they want to, they could trade that for Giannis. If Giannis wants to leave, then they could do a trade with Dallas and could make this work somehow. Kyrie makes about 41 million or so, Giannis makes about 48, that gap is easy to cover and could make some good return on the long run as well.

Rudy just didn't like it and I think that there's a personal space that Rudy thought that Braun has invaded. Anyway, that was also an amazing dunk from Braun with two hands in it. Both can be wrong or right in there but this is like a normal day that we see in most games.

Rudy could've just let it through and will not retaliate. Braun could've been called for a technical for taunting after the dunk. That's how defensive player mindset could've reacted after the poster. However, Rudy hurt his ego, maybe all those comments about him not deserving to be the DPOY must have live to his head rent free lol.
Yeah, it was just a normal play, anyone could be posterized, but people fail to appreciate for trying to stop the dunk.

Yes, it was his ego that someone dunk on him, but I think Braun has restrained himself as well and not go and retaliate against Rudy after his dunk, he might just be carried by his emotions because of that big dunk and really pump up like any others who had a huge dunk on someone.

I think it was because of money. Thanasis demanded a max contract since he thinks this should be an award for his legacy with the Bucks. They didn't see it that way and declined, so he instead signed with the Mavericks for 50mil 2 years. Oh.... wait.

We will see, Seattle has been in the West, and hopefully they can get back in the league as well all known that they had a good run in the 90's and even reach the finals against Michael Jordan, with Payton and Kemp.

However, we have heard it in the last 4 years from Adam Silver and so far there are no update yet. We know that it will take years to have a new team as arenas would have to build and there are also CBA that needs to be iron out. So hopefully after this season, we might see this two teams and maybe one of them could be own by a current basketball player or will he retire to concentrate on that team that he wanted to built.

Joel Embiid shoved a columnist after tonight’s game. The columnist wrote a hit piece on Joel Embiid and mentioned the death of his little brother, insinuating that Embiid isn’t living up to his dream of winning for his brother. It seems like the media in Philadelphia is going to push Embiid right out of town. I think a trade request could be in the cards.

Ooh, that's foul! They don't want Embiid anymore?
I just finished reading about it.

76ers' Joel Embiid confronts, shoves Philadelphia columnist following team's loss to Grizzlies

Embiid shouted and shoved Philadelphia newspaper columnist Marcus Hayes in a locker room altercation following the 124-107 loss to the Grizzlies. The NBA was investigating the incident.

Hayes apologized and I think he didn't mean it that way, but Embiid said it wasn't the first time. The question is, was it Hayes who also asked the same thing back then?
I think Embiid is sensitive because he had not played the season yet and he definitely had a lot of things in his mind but still, as a professional, you cannot do such things on media. I know stars who can confront them in a different way and it's better because it makes the media more humiliated than them. It's a bad threat too telling them they are going to see what he will do if they brought up the issue again. He can be trialed/fined for saying such things.
I know they are also human too, but they are being paid so fucking well compared to those who are saving lives, so suck it up.

Houston beat Dallas last night. It was a bad result for me because I had placed a bet on Dallas to win.
I don't understand how they lost, Dallas has a better roster quality than Houston, but they lost.

Alperen Şengün played well again. He deserves the money he earned.

There is a problem between Alperen Şengün and the coach. Alpi is playing very well, perhaps one of the most productive players on the team. He is both a good center and has a very high game intelligence. However, Ime Udoka's expectations are different, no one understands what he wants.
Alperen, who has great statistics for a player who has played so little, may not be selected as an allstar because of this coach. I hope they can solve the problem between them

I guess that because he's older than Braun and he looks at him as a kid, he just retaliated with his actions. For sure that Rudy hurted his ego with that dunk and the taunting that's done by Braun. Well, we have to move on to the next games. Speaking of Nuggets still, they've won against the Utah Jazz with a huge lead.

I am also not a fan of Embiid, I am actually a hater, haha. All the stuff with his basically gifted MVP, then the whole shit show he pulled with team France and now all the resting/not playing bs, it's hard to like that guy.
But mentioning family, especially members that died, is totally out of place. But of course the media always writes stuff like this just to get a reaction and "hopefully" the worst out of the person the piece is about.
Sure Embiid should stay professional and be the "better man" but he is also a very emotional person, you can tell when you see him on the court, always whining about no calls and stuff. 
Well, the reporter had it coming, it's funny he writes something like this and then even meets Embiid face to face, what did he expect?

I believe Coach Udoka was still the same coach last year, so he knows Şengün very well as he had a great season last year before he got injured. But whatever the desicion of the coach, I think that's called strategic and everything is for the own good of the team, and what we are seeing is just numbers, we don't know what had really happen duirng practice and training, so can;t push what we really like judging only base on his performance in the past.

If Embiid and his team just came from a loss then the emotions were at high at that moment and I think that he's got himself out of control. Embiid might be sensitive for such reasons and depending on the questions as well. But most of the professional basketball players like him should understand that they're a public figure and anything they do is being recorded and can spread globally of what they've done in split seconds. If the NBA is already investigating on this issue, let's see how it is going to be and how much fine or if there will be no fine given to him or if there will be suspension for which I think that's already too much if they're going to him that penalty.

And that game by Bucks and Cavaliers was crazy, Mitchell is really doing it and they'll have a rematch again. So typically, we do see these games that just after one of the same teams will have a quick rematch on the same week or after a day or two.
