2026 NBA Season

[Russlenat]

Just saw a video from one of our local vloggers calling the Pacers the dark horse of the East, and honestly, his breakdown convinced me. This Pacers team is seriously impressive, with almost every player on the floor able to knock down outside shots.

Now I’m tempted to throw some money on them to win it all, not just the East, but the whole NBA championship. At 80x odds, dropping like $20 on it doesn’t seem too crazy, right? Not too bad if it’s just a small fun bet.

It's not that hard to bet on the Pacers as one of the dark horse in the East, they are complete they have franchise player in Haliburton that can lead them and then a lot of role players that knows how they are going to contribute. And they will have a easy opponent in Bucks. Although they have Giannis, it's going to be hard for him to carry the Bucks to win in 4 games.

Why not? that is the thing with this underdog is that we can really take them and see how it goes. That $20 might turn out big for you if everything really works out for the Pacers this season.

Same with the Warriors as well, I think they could be the dark horse in the West.

As far as the odds for the play-in: Heat is still the slight favorite vs the Hawks, while Dallas is a big underdog against Memphis.

Heat is likely to win this game but we don't know yet. I think that the majority agrees even the bookies about them.

The other match is more interesting, the Dallas and Memphis. Both really are good teams but if the odds tells that it's Memphis that's about to win, this is also the same when the Mavs was the underdog last match they've been in.

The Heat are getting off to a good start with the 9 point lead as the first quarter ends. I don’t think Trae Young is going to be able to do enough to carry the Hawks to a win on offense and he’s looking like a liability on defense. We’ll see though. Lavert did some nice scoring off the bench for the Hawks.

Bucks is the underdog for this match and despite that there is a good news that Lillard is now cleared but it's for sure that he won't be playing on the game 1. I think it's a good consideration if you can break down some of those what has been said about the Pacers. I'm considering of betting on them too.

Right now, I am watching the Hawks against Heat match and they're about to end in the 3rd quarter. In favor of the Heat, 81-71 but things could get surprising because the 4th quarter might be the momentum for the Hawks. Well, I've bet for the Heat on this game.

I think Trae Young has lost everything, he doesn't look like the old Trae that has a killer instinct in this game. Lead has balloon to 12 points already. And as I see it, although Lavert is a addition to the team, it seems that he is not also a perfect fit to the system of the Hawks. I haven't check the contract of Trae though, but it seems that he just wanted to just finished everything and could be headed to a trade next season. Good to see that the Heat has somewhat move on from the Jimmy Butler trade and are doing good after that and adjusted. So win-win for them. The big 3 of Hero, Wiggins and Adebayo is carrying them to enter the playoffs.

Looks like the Heat is in panic mode now. They were not able to protect their lead and this is looking interesting for the Hawks. It seems that they're all synched, the shots from the three were all connecting. There is still 7 minutes left for the 4th and let's see how this game will end. The favorite is with the Hawks but this game hasn't ended yet. A do or die match for both teams, no one's going to let their teams fall before the most exciting part starts and that's the playoffs.

The Hawks really turned things around! Miami seemingly controlled the game up until now. What a collapse. They’re not going to be happy if those is how their season ends. Kudos to the Hawks for staying alive and keeping things interesting. Pat Riley is screaming at someone somewhere right now. 3 point game with 4:30 to go.

The Hawks, as usual fell just short yet again. It always feels like when it comes down to wire the Hawks really can't keep things together, and Miami Heat got the better revenge against Atlanta Hawks who eliminated them in the play-in in 2023, although the Heat eventually entered as the 8th seed.

Grizzlies are in cruise control now against Dallas Mavericks going into the 4th Quarter, the Mavericks were able to cut the lead to single digits but Memphis with a run of their own to end the 3rd Quarter to extend the lead to 18 points. That's probably all she wrote for the Dallas Mavericks this season, I hope next season would be kind to them in terms of players availability.

[Shinpako09]

Damn, from reaching the NBA Finals last year to not even getting into the playoffs this year. That was like almost on top and then falling again. But AD did score 40 pts, but still not enough to lift the team. Washington was even scoreless in his 27 mins. Memphis dominated both offensive and defensive rebounds, especially the offensive, 16 compared to 7 of Dallas. As well as the points in the paint. The Mavs really did mess up their own team. They need to rebuild it again together with the remaining years of AD, Kyrie, and Klay.

It reached to an OT, I thought that Heat will lose that game really. Because with how the Hawks played until the last second, they surely are about to win that without having an OT. I think that missed free throw of Tyler Herro did prolonged and made the game into an OT because if his one missed shot got in, there won't be any more OT at all because of having a three point lead. Or maybe a long three from Trae will still make it and continue to an OT. Well, an absolute good game that we've seen and on the other match, the Mavs were no match against the Grizzlies.

So PJ Washington was healthy in this game? I thought he was injured or something as I wasn't able to watch the game and then seeing that he didn't score, I thought that he is not somewhat healthy or just injured along in the game.

For sure there will be fans that are going to blame the whole thing to Nico for trading Luka Doncic to the Lakers. Also feel sorry for Klay as well, as he move out of the Warriors and thinking that he will be good in Mavs with Luka.

[terrific]

Without Luka, the Dallas Mavericks that has been good last year and reached the finals, now is already out.
While his new team, Lakers, is going to face the Timberwolves. I think that they can beat them.
And with the team that has won lately the Grizzlies, they're going to face the current strongest team - OKC.

I also think that the Lakers are going to win against the Wolves. It's different when you already have Lebron James, but when you add Luka and then somewhat KAT poke him? It will be a different Luka. So if I'm the Wolves then I won't make Luka angry or something as he might erupt for a 40 points and at least 10 rebounds performance.

But it will not be sweep as the Wolves could won at least 2 games in their series.

However, I'm going to bet on the Lakers to win the series and advance with a 4-2 win.

Hilarious that Bronny James posted a picture on social media saying he wanted to go back to the beach and then Anthony Edwards commented on it saying that he was going to send him and his pops there after their playoff matchup. Pretty savage to go after someone’s son like that, but given that he’s an NBA player too, it’s fair game.

Exactly. Most people were actually laughing as Antman already started the playoff with that shot against Bronny, Bron, and all the Lakers squad.
I'm not an Antman fan and I'm not following this kid, but he's got talent and skills. However, the trash talking attitude for me is a big nah. I don't like people with big mouth no matter how talented that person is lol.
It's just hilarious that Antman really played a role like he really is in real life in that Adam Sandler and Juancho Hernangomez movie lol.

He still needs to learn though, he already started this trash talking and usually it ended bad for that trash talker. Remember that he will not only need to contend with Lebron, they have Luka as well. So how can he trash talk? It's definitely going to back fire to him if they've lost this series.

Anyway, perhaps ANT just want to get into their heads. But then again, knowing both of this players their mentality in the players, it's hard to pysch them as they have been in this kinds of scenario and they know how to get the best out of it.

Even if Ja morant plays, that doesn't mean that Memphis will win against Dallas, they could but they may have hard time too. I can't predict what is going to happen this game, Dallas definitely wants to win because of something special, the famous trade made the team look bad and everyone on that team wants to show that they are better than what people see them as, without Kyrie that is bad but if they can win then they have something more important to prove.

However, Memphis would love to win too, just like any other team, Memphis doesn't have a special reason, they just want to win because you play to win, but no special reason. So this is why I put Dallas a bit ahead and I would like to see them win as well.

Dude, don't post just for the sake of posting! You don't even realize that this game already happened and Memphis won like 6 hours ago. 
And by the way, the Grizzlies won fairly easy so your "prediction" is also wrong, hahaha.

Yes, Davis once again performed very well, but didn't get proper support from his teammates.
As for the Mavs roster rebuild, it may be without Irving since his current guaranteed contract with the Mavs ends after this season. Although he still has a player option for next season, it seems to me he would rather be a free agent.

Every team would like to win their series and move to the next round of the playoffs. Memphis Grizzlies seems to be a very underrated team with all of the memes and gun hands done by Ja. Both Dallas and Memphis are good teams but it's that the better team must go on and move to the next round. But the next round and opponent that the Memphis will have to face is the Oklahoma City Thunders. We all know their stats and that's why they're in #1 seed. It's a big challenge for the Memphis but as long as the ball is round, no one will know the results until we see the end of their series.

Irving is fragile
Davis is fragile.

They can finish a season with out a long time nursing their Injury, The Mavericks is really in trouble and they need to bounce back soon and make a good roster for next season.
LUKA issue is done but the team is not good for now, they need a big move.

I like the matchup between Ja and SGA both explosives though OKC got a deeper bench but if Grizzle will play the same game as how they show earlier that's going to be an interesting cores and even their role players really helping a team effort that always an advantage. Let see if how OKC will counter that and keep their winning mentalities to dominate.

He still needs to learn though, he already started this trash talking and usually it ended bad for that trash talker. Remember that he will not only need to contend with Lebron, they have Luka as well. So how can he trash talk? It's definitely going to back fire to him if they've lost this series.

Yeah, that's LeBron and Luka if you poke both a big risk for ANT though knowing him chances is high thinking that it helps to boost his game, and for sure, it's going be an eciting and enjoyable matchup fans and gamblers will enjoy how both teams will try their best winning and to have that chance to advance to the next round.
