2026 NBA Season

LeBron putting up 25/6/6 as the third option is just crazy  
The funniest part is how fast the narrative flipped people were saying he would ruin the chemistry in Lakers and hold Luka and Reaves back.

But now, he proved them wrong. And now they have another player who can score double digits without messing up the chemistry. Reaves is still scoring well, and it seems like it was a good gamble that he bet on himself and declined the extension. If he continues this performance, he’ll get what he wants, a better salary. The Lakers would be fools if they let Reaves go. I think he deserves a better salary whether they win the championship this year or not.

Lebron will always be a star no matter what they say, if he average 25-6-6 without forcing the issue meaning he still got lots on his gas, if they can produce more points and rebounds blocks, i'm pretty sure they can compete with other teams in the playoffs might be in, semis, my concern is defense because last year that's their weakness, hoping that JJ already made the adjustment,
Raptors and Detroit are rolling, east is exciting to watch this year, bottom teams, are starting to show they are improving.

Golden State vs Houston game tonight. I expect a win from Houston, but it will be a tough match.
I expect Kevin Durant to play in this game, and Alperen Şengün will play for sure. I hope they win.

Oklahoma will face Minnesota, and in my opinion Oklahoma are the favorites and they will win this match.
They are on a very good streak and I don’t think they will break it.

If Jalen Duren keeps performing like this, I’m sure he will become the Most Improved Player of the Year.
In the first five games, Josh Giddey was the favorite to win MIP but because of Jalen Duren’s current performance, he is now the top favorite with 2.8 odds, while Josh Giddey is at 5.75 odds (based on stake.com).

I’m still sticking with the Philadelphia 76ers to win the Eastern Conference Finals. They are playing really well, eventhough many of their players are injured. Maybe it will be Sixers vs Pistons in the Eastern Finals. lol

Definitely a shocking development for me too. Pistons, the team that lost 28 times in a row, which is the record in the whole NBA tied with sixers, is now doing great. That doesn't make sense to me, just player development can't make this happen, it is not going to be easy at all.

We need to realize that this isn't the case at all, it is not about just players growing and getting better, because in 23-24 they were losing 28 in a row, and now they have only 2 loss in 15 games, that is not normal.

Many teams have changed ways they play but at the end of the day we are talking about a team that got much better. Maybe it is something else, no idea what the reason is, but we are seeing a team making a comeback that is beyond what we have seen ever.

KD is out today due to a family issue.

The KING still remain on his play, he average every year almost the same.
25-8-8 , he just came back from injury and rest now he is making it up with the Lakers again. He will be suit up and we know he mostly call the play on the floor.
He is old but still playing better than some players on their prime!

Durant is out until November 30 due to personal issues. Steven Adams is also out until the same date. Alperen would play with Jabari Smith Jr. tonight. And maybe Clint Capela could find some more time to play.

This is why bookmakers are also favouring Warriors over Rockets now. I agree with them though. If Alperen doesn't show a very extra performance I don't think they can beat Warriors with their missing players.

Lakers did look amazing, 43 from Luka, 25-6-6 from Lebron, another 30+ point game by Reaves, they are really looking great there is no doubt about that. However, they were playing one of the worst teams in the league, which is the issue and I think that's going to mean a lot, we can't really see them have that much of a trouble. I think it's clear that we are going to see things change that much, and because of that I think it will be a big deal.

Lakers can't play like this when they are facing a better team, so they are going to have hard time. Can they be a lot better on the long run? Of course they can be, but they need to have consistency, can't have this one game and be bad another game, that will hurt them on playoffs.

They have Luka! It’s already an assurance that they will do good in the long run. Luka manage to carry Mavs before to the finals with a much weaker roster than the current Lakers roster.

This team is very to beat on series game. They are still adjusting on their current line-up but Luka is already consistently playing a dominant game for the team.

Lakers just need to make other players step up especially their bench players.

We’ve seen that Luka has fully adjusted already with his new team. He’s doing his usual averages, and he really cut his weight just to get to that level. Luka alone is already enough to get them to the playoffs, but LeBron is still there, the most experienced guy on the floor who already won multiple championships. With a healthy LeBron, anything is possible, plus they’ll get some favorable calls since LeBron is a Hall of Famer. Another ring for him would be huge for his legacy.

I’m already looking forward to Friday’s matchup between the Lakers and the Mavericks. It will be interesting to see if they let Anthony Davis play or not. I hope he does get to play. I’m also not familiar with how long DeAndre Ayton will be out, but it would be great to see them both on the floor. Game will be broadcast on Amazon Prime.

I think this would be just a 1 sided game for the Lakers as most of the Mavericks roster are up for potential trade-up they wouldn't be motivated to play seriously since they are just waiting to get traded.
Davis, Gafford, Kyrie, and Klay

Nico Harrison really ruined a high caliber team and it is surely the Luka - AD is the biggest and dumbest trade of all time

They will try to win for sure but most of the superstar are sideline, Davis , Kyrie, are out klay and flagg are the only available, they wont stand a chance, luka for sure will score a lot, and show the mavs they made a mistake, although the mavs has big players, they wont be effective because they dont have experience playmaker like luka, when he is in the mavs uniform, flagg needs to work harder in this game, he needs to show why he is the number 1 pick, if he can turn the team around without their superstar then they have pick the right player, i just dont want kidd to experiment, on flagg he will ruin his career.

A quite interesting match between the home team Charlotte Hornets vs New York Knicks. Although in terms of ranking, they are very far apart. New York Knicks are currently in 5th place in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, Charlotte is currently in 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings and outside the playoff zone. Of course, I chose to bet on New York Knicks to win and I placed New York Knicks on BC Games. And currently, my prediction is quite accurate; New York Knicks are still leading by 19 points. In the first two quarters, also known as the first half, they even led by 25 points.

[tech30338]

Tough loss by the Detroit, i thought they have this in the bag, but the boston celtics pour it outside, shots are falling for them, also the last free throw and the steal seal the deal for the Boston Celtics brown also take the load scoring points, this is what the Detroit don't want to happen every time they need to sink important free throws, because when it comes to the size they can really win, because they have the advantage in size, well i think every win streak has to end but for sure they can bounce back.

I don't see the Hornets coming back into this. I just hope Lamelo comes back in as I have him for 6 assists

[EFS]

Every streak has an end. Celtics were the team that ended it. Pistons actually could've won this game as well, but they made several consecutive mistakes, especially in the final moments. Cunningham's 42 points weren't enough.

This loss isn't a big deal. It actually removes the pressure of keeping the winning streak alive. When you're on such a long run, every opponent plays with extra motivation to be the one that ends it. Now everything can return to normal.

I didn't know Davis is off the injury list already. For me, it wouldn't make sense to let him play, if you consider winning the game. The only reason why I would play him at all is to raise is stock for a possible trade. They want other teams to see that AD still has plenty of value, despite all the injuries, so they will consider trading for him. I mean I don't know any scenario where a would send something actually valuable for him but still it's worth trying of course.

Houston keeps winning even without Kevin Durant, last night they beat GSW by 4 points.
The player who carried Houston to the win was Reed Sheppard. He scored 31 points, making him the team’s top scorer and the key to their victory.
Alperen Şengün contributed with 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists.

Stephen Curry attempted 9 three-pointers but made only 2, so he couldn’t really help his team.

OKC continues to win as well; they beat Minnesota by an 8-point margin.
Before the match I was going to bet on -7.5, but I didn’t trust it and good thing I didn’t, because they win it by only half a point.

Sheppard showed that his team doesn’t need a guard transfer. he was the top scorer and best player against the Warriors. I hope we see similar performances in the playoffs from him so he can become a long term player for houston.

I think he will be a gametime decision on Friday, but they said he will come back either then or the next game... 

There's also been a lot of talk about an Anthony Davis trade.  The Mavericks seem open to blowing up their roster and trading anyone but Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg. 

Every day it looks more and more like we're going to see a Ja Morant trade.  Perhaps there will be some fireworks in the NBA over this holiday season...
