2026 NBA Season

[OgNasty]

Pretty hilarious the the X account for NBA Centel which famously posts misinformation in an attempt to be funny, ended up breaking legitimate news about Anthony Davis being sent to the G League by accident hours before it was legitimate news. Score one for the hoaxers I guess, or is that a bad look for Centel?

Shocking news everyone! This notice few minutes before the game starts against the Golden State Warriors. I am really looking forward to this match today but shit happens. Some saying that Golden State warriors are lucky, but I think they can still win even with complete players today.

That's shocking.

Almost all of their stars are out except Russ. Maybe he'd be able to do that. They also got some good line up with the bench players.

I just wish them luck when the Warriors are fully packed while them are like this, we're really expecting something here but in favor of the Steph and friends.

I really don't think it was surprising, it's been coming along for the Nuggets in their last few games, Jokic is pretty banged up, and so is Jamal Murray, If followed the last 2-3 matches of the Denver Nuggets, Jokic always having a icepack or something around his shoulder, while he also injured his elbow several games ago in one of those back to back games against OKC. Jokic is just a guy that would always be on the court in as much as he can play through whatever is bothering him, but not tonight.

7 in a row for Rockets. They came back from 25 points in 3rd quarter and won the game. This is the biggest comeback for Rockets franchise.
Philly scored 3's like crazy. Quentin Grimes made a career high with 46 points but that wasn't enough. Udoka turned 5 short in 3rd quarter and Alperen didn't play much. He played only in last 3 seconds in last quarter but made the offensive rebound and 2 points. The game went overtime and he created magic in OT as well. I don't know why Udoka didn't play with their superstar more, but Alpi saved him again. Eason and Brooks got fouled out, VanVleet got flagrant-2, which wasn't fair at all. But Philly got 11 players missing, it should've been way easier for Rockets. In the end they got the win though. Very important for 2nd place in the West.

What as the odds before the DEN vs GSW start? Without Jokic and murray the Nuggets manage to win and that is a good game for them specially to Gordon abut a problem with GSW team.
I missed that opportunity


While Lakers is back to winning line. I hope The King will play soon.

Anybody see the clip of Tracy Morgan puking all over the place while sitting front row in Madison Square Garden tonight?  Everyone is making jokes about how the Knicks were playing so bad it made him puke, and maybe he was just drunk or something, but it didn't look good.  I know he has some medical problems which makes me think it could be serious. 

Other than that...  Ant had a nice highlight dunk tonight.  Worth watching.

Well, that's bad for the Warriors.
I mean the roster is complete (or at least the key players are playing) coming into this game against an undermanned Nuggets, and yet they lost by 9 points.

Steph Curry had a bad night on this one anyway shooting only 6/21 on the field and 4/14 from three. On the other hand, Gordon carried his team scoring 38 points while Westbrook tallied another triple-double on his stat sheet again having 12 points, 12 rebounds and 16 assists. I don't want to focus it on Westbrook, but dude's getting his confidence again ever since he went to the Nuggets. He's averaging 13 PPG, 5 RPG and 6 APG as a Nugget which isn't that bad.

While Lakers is back to winning line. I hope The King will play soon.

As for the Lakers, it's good that they're now on a 2-game winning streak after losing 4 straight. They're next 5 games isn't that bad since they will be facing Denver, Milwaukee, Chicago, Orlando and Indiana. I hope that Le-GM will be back, but as long as Reaves and Luka are playing, I think the Lakers will be just fine.

Speaking of Lakers, I just want to say that acquiring Alex Len is one of their worst decisions this season. Not shooting, not rebounding, can't defend. He's just not that helpful with the team. It's good that he doesn't have that huge of a contract and it's only this season. I'm pretty much sure he will not be on the team anymore because he's just that inefficient.

Alex Len’s performance has been declining, and while he was acquired, his contract isn’t that big anyway. That’s probably what happens when you don’t get much playing time.

But the good news is, the Lakers are now on a two-game winning streak, its a solid bounce-back after that losing streak when LeBron got injured.

lakers back to rank 4 now.

People made fun of that announcement but actually that's part of his rehabilitation for preparation on his return on Mavs. NBA has article created about this news https://www.nba.com/news/anthony-davis-rehab-texas-legends-adductor-strain

People just made fun about the news without reading the real reason. People know the capability of AD and for sure Mavs management just want to make sure that AD is fine and there would be no problem in his return on their main roster. Don't know if this news they leak would give them a bad look or they will just let it pass since somehow Centel is just a parody account.

I do not think that they are expecting something big with Alen Len though. He might just be acquired since since they needed a big man. And so it's good to see that the Lakers is back on track as they give themselves some leeway between the Warriors and the Wolves, who lost today and broken their winning streak. But still though, I think both of them can overtake the Lakers if the Lakers will lose again and then they started to win all their remaining games. As for AD going to the G League, Lol, I also saw that one with a parody account and then followed by the legit account of NBA Central.

Alex has 12 seasons in the NBA, and looking at his stats, you can conclude that he is a pretty weak center. I don't know if his performance was affected by injuries or something else, but I agree that he isn't much use right now. On the other hand, having a big center with a minimum contract on the roster makes sense. At least he is a backup in case one of the key players gets injured at an important moment.

That's right, it's not like he will be the replacement of Davis, or the center that they really need. They just want someone to be there in case something happen to Hayes as he is the only one who are playing center position for them.

If they can get a good production for Len then good for the Lakers. If not, I do not that think that he will have a good career with the Lakers. And I think Len knows his role with them and he is also taking advantage of that exposure as long as he can.

But they manage to win the game against the Warriors and won by a big margin. Gordon had one of his best game this season with 38 points. And Post should have dominated the inside because Jokic didn't play, but he didn't have the game for him.

Same with Buddy Hield, so the Warriors let this one slip away from them at their own homecourt. Moses Moody who is average double digits in their last couple of games had only 9 points. So it's a combination of bad shooting for the Warriors and Curry was limited as well that's why they lose this game.

Despite with many absent on the main roster. The Nuggets proved that they are still the better team. They have won against the Golden State Warriors. And I thought that the advantage is with Steph's gang.

But no.

I was wrong and the game ended in favor of Nuggets with 114 - 105.

That’s likely to happen if LeBron still can’t return.

But looking at the Lakers’ situation, we can really see how good Luka is as he can carry his team. Plus, Reeves has remained consistent, so he definitely deserves a better contract.

As for AD going to the G League, Lol, I also saw that one with a parody account and then followed by the legit account of NBA Central.

Is there a parody of this? Haha.
I think that’s a bit too much. AD is great, it’s just that he’s injury-prone. But the mavericks knew that before they acquired him, so they can’t really act surprised now.

Westbrook turned back the clock... no Murray, no Jokic, no problem. He was the hero of that game, putting up a triple-double.
12 points, 12 rebounds, and 16 assists, those numbers speak for themselves as he was incredibly effective.

Just imagine if we had bet on the Nuggets' moneyline right after it was announced that their two superstars wouldn’t play.
That would have been a huge payout!

It really is crazy how a good fit and chemistry can change a former all star into a version of his old self. After his unsuccessful stints with past teams it’s refreshing to see him play great again! Honestly, I never was a fan because I often thought he was stat patting too much but now that he doesn’t care about that’s so much anymore he somehow seems humble. Playing aside a great player like Jokic truly brought back the old Westbrook.

He doesn’t care about stats anymore as he’s already cemented his place in NBA history as the player with the most triple-doubles.

https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=most+triple+doubles+all-time

Most Triple-Doubles All-Time:
Russell Westbrook – 203
Oscar Robertson – 181
Nikola Jokić – 159

Looking at this, it’s interesting that two Nuggets players are in the top three.

I didn't bet on that but those that have believed on them got all of the money.

They deserve that and the Nuggets can count on every player that they have. It is sure that they can comeback to the playoffs and proved that all of their players are dependable.

I'm starting to like them.

That's a nice catch for those who manage to bet for the Nuggets either ML or handicap, Denver beats the Warriors in their homecrowd. Gordon lead them with Porter Jr and WB's triple double that's gave the win. For sure there are gamblers who lose in this game as the news came out late and the expectations that Warriors will play tough in front of their homecrowd more on the side of GSW's handicap.

With Paul George out for the year, 76ers look ahead to NBA draft lottery with immense stakes for franchise
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/with-paul-george-out-for-the-year-76ers-look-ahead-to-nba-draft-lottery-with-immense-stakes-for-franchise/

Now we're here again. Paul George, the superstar free agent supposed to launch the Embiid era into the NBA Finals for the first time, will miss the rest of the regular season. The 76ers are, once again, playing for ping pong balls.

It's like the team is cursed. Embiid is truly a MVP caliber and I don't doubt that. But the pairing seems to be cursed. Injuries hit them hard and even their newly claimed players from the draft seems to be a curse to them. They need back ups, roleplayers, and maybe some veteran champion which could lead the team whenever their stars are gone.

But, I am actually amazed with their young bench after defeating the Mavericks and they played a great offensive battle against the Houston Rockets today which led to overtime although they lost in the end. Still, this is a good sign. They just need their stars back super healthy and maybe this can work out.
