2026 NBA Season

Yeah they’re good at that, but what I don’t like about the Spurs is they’re still inconsistent.
Also, anyone got an update on Wemby? Looked like he got tweaked in that game and didn’t come back.

No update yet, the last news that I read is that it's bad news for the Spurs, but there are also who says that the injury is not that worst and they compare it to Jokic. But still though, if its similar to Jokic who will missed at least a month they they will definitely have a impact on the Spurs.

But they have a lot of good players and maybe it will be the time of Fox again to carry the team. But they have to be consistent and not to try to play catch up because there will be games that they might be tired and will not able to recover in time to win.

Wemby himself said that he felt fine and was ready to return to the court during that game, but they held him back. So the injury is probably not serious, but the Spurs' decision to give him a rest is understandable. They simply cannot risk his health, given that Wemby is prone to injury due to his height.

That's good to hear that Wemby will be ok, but I think the Spurs will have to make sure of that. So they would just allow him to play if they think that the injury is not that serious. So he will be put to test and see how it goes for him.

He is still very young though so he can recover. Not sure if he is prone to injury, it was just he landed very badly and step on someone that's why he twisted his feet and the effect could have been worst if he is like AD that is very fragile.

Yeah but he probably will want to play even he feels not totally ok. because he needs to play 45 of the remaining 50 games to get season awards. And he missed 12 games because of injury this season. Wemby gets hurt a lot man. At this height the injury risk is very high. His only chance is being thin. When the height increases, weight causes foot injuries. Like Yao Ming had...

A lot of talk that Anthony Davis is on the move in Dallas.  No real word about where he's going to end up, only that Dallas is extremely motivated to trade him before the trade deadline.  Sounds like they just want to get him off the team and start a rebuild around Cooper Flagg.  Might we see Anthony Davis get stolen by the Warriors?  Last I heard Detroit was still in the lead.

[CLS63]

I was really mad at Keldon Johnson last night because of losing the ball in the last seconds and causing that 3 points. I needed -2.5 handicap on Spurs but it ended by a 2-point gap.

Tonight there is a Mavericks-76ers game which looks interesting to me. 76ers are favourites of course but the gap isn't huge in odds. I would love to watch another Maxey - Flagg duel. Maxey won the first one this season with 38 points last month.

[MK-74]

Oklahoma won at home against Portland. They won by a margin of 29 points.

San Antonio defeated the strong New York team at home 134–132. San Antonio hadn’t been able to win for two games, but they won this one thanks to an excellent performance in the final quarter.

Milwaukee lost at home to Washington by just 1 point. Their performances have been very poor lately and it looks like they might not even make the playoffs.

If they wouldn't get Giannis I think AD is a good second option but at what cost will it take for the Warriors to have him? I don't think it will just be done by trading off Kuminga it probably need more and besides they really need a true center because I don't think small ball line up has been a total success this season.

[Fredomago]

Spurs is already improving a lot on close match like this. Their experience on beating OKC makes them a very formidable team against any team that will test them on close fight.

Yeah they’re good at that, but what I don’t like about the Spurs is they’re still inconsistent.
Also, anyone got an update on Wemby? Looked like he got tweaked in that game and didn’t come back.

I agree about inconsistency but they are team composed with young players so I understand this current cons on their roster.

The good thing about them is they are improving and adapting on their mistakes that makes them a scary team in the future. Maybe OKC and Spurs rivalry will be a long term on West.

Including We by and Chet.

Agree to that, if both young Giants maintain their physical health that rivalries will continue, I like how Spurs system being executed by those young stars, giving them enough time to matured they can rebuild that Championship contender team again, there's a good similarity from the old prime years of Spurs, with these new guys who are forming good chemistries from each other, let see what more they can deliver.

[mirakal]

Oklahoma won at home against Portland. They won by a margin of 29 points.

It’s not really a surprise though, OKC has been dominating Portland in the last two games before that.
And OKC probably took it personally when Portland handed them their first loss of the season. After that, all the games turned into blowout wins for OKC.

San Antonio defeated the strong New York team at home 134–132. San Antonio hadn’t been able to win for two games, but they won this one thanks to an excellent performance in the final quarter.

That was a close game, mainly because of their big comeback, courtesy of Champagnie getting hot and knocking down 11 three-point shots in that game.

Kuminga will be the first name that could be involved here, Buddy Hield or Moody or perhaps Podz, and then maybe some of their young guys and future draft picks. So it's going to be interesting on where AD will land or if ever he will go the Warriors to make them a team that could contend for at least a championship again as Curry and Draymond could be pushing for a ring.

And talking about AD and the Mavs, end of 3rd quarter and they are trailing behind against the Sixers. The big 4 of the Sixers are taking over this game. Cooper Flagg will need to step up and lead the Mavs if they want to win at home.

We’ve seen enough of the Mavs already, they’re not really a playoff team and it makes sense if they decide to trade AD. What surprised me more are the Sixers, they’ve been very fun to watch, especially with Edgecombe playing his role really well, you barely even notice PG on the floor because he’s not playing like a superstar.

If the Warriors somehow land AD, that would be another interesting shift to watch, hopefully they get what they’re aiming for, a playoff spot and a real shot at the championship.

Leonard’s 30+ average streak with the Clippers continues.

Today they beat the Jazz, who were competitive until they collapsed in the 4th quarter. As usual, Leonard was the one carrying the team, finishing with 45 points. They really let him shoot too, 29 shot attempts which is about 32% of the team’s total shots.

The Warriors can't get Giannis. That's for sure. They don't have any attractive players to trade to the Bucks. They can trade Butler maybe since he's also an expiring contract, but will the Bucks want him? For sure no especially after the drama that he caused back when he's still in Miami. In short, the Warriors will not get Giannis because they simply can't.

They can get AD though, but who will the Warriors be trading? Kuminga? Hield? Podz? Possible with some draft picks, but the problem is that the Mavericks already have many Forwards and Flagg is also a forward as well and Kuminga is playing on that same position as well. Unless if he wants to be on the 2nd unit then it might be possible but as a starter? I don't think that it will help them. Trading Kuminga is the best thing to do right now for the Warriors because they basically overpaid him again. I mean paying $24M to a player that's basically unplayable? That's way worse than Zeke Nnaji's contract last year.

For real, Giannis is kind of impossible to land with the Warriors unless Bucks GM is Nico Harrison. I don’t know what they’re doing or rather, what the management is doing. Instead of doing their best to maximize Curry’s remaining years in the league, they’re doing almost nothing. They might make a move, but nothing notable. They don’t have much to offer in a trade in exchange for a better player, like another reliable scorer or a good defender/rebounder.

Rockets won against Brooklyn Nets very easily and it was a good game. All players did a good job. Sometimes Alpi was the star sometimes KD or Amen showed up. They played like a real team. I am very happy because Alperen is finally back. When he is on the court the team definitely plays a different style of basketball. He finished the game with +30 efficiency. His passing and his vision were really very good. Also, his positioning was perfect every time. He makes everyone better around him.

Yeah it was too easy for Rockets! Sengun was doubtful for this game together with Adams. But he played and made difference for his team as usual. It was a nice double-double by KD as well but the only problem was having 6 turnovers.

Nets couldn't even lead the game for a single second as far as I remember. What a dominance really... This was the 4th win in a row for Rockets. They can get past Nuggets in the standings actually while Jokic is out but let's see...

The difference is KD made 6 turnovers in this game but he didn't feel any pressure. If Alperen makes 6 turnovers, everyone criticizes him immediately. Rockets fans are really waiting to start attacking him. Anyway, now the Rockets have a big chance. Jokic is out for at least one month so the Rockets can pass the Nuggets in the standings. Let's see if they can use this opportunity.

Leonard’s 30+ average streak with the Clippers continues.

Today they beat the Jazz, who were competitive until they collapsed in the 4th quarter. As usual, Leonard was the one carrying the team, finishing with 45 points. They really let him shoot too, 29 shot attempts which is about 32% of the team’s total shots.

He is catching up, and I think its possible he can win a mvp if he continue doing his thing. That should be the trend, him averaging 40+ points now should easily make him a candidate that would scare those who are at the top of the standings. I love seeing him  like this, thought he is done, and injury prone but now he is better, even better than the prime Leonard, hope he can finish the season healthy.

His name might be in the discussion, but I have doubts that he could win the MVP this year. He needs to be consistent like what SGA is doing or Jokic before he got injured. So with that, Leonard will have to carry his team and move to playoff as well before he can get a nod for the MVP voting.

And we are not even in the half of the whole regular season, because as you have said, he is injury prone. And knock on woods that he will not suffer another season ending injury in the future. But it's good to watch Kawhi as if it is the Toronto version of himself.

For now I know it’s not possible dude, I’m just hyping it up hehe.

Can’t even see his name there yet on the MVP ladder, but hopefully once it gets updated we’ll see him pop up soon.

I’ll just enjoy what I’m seeing right now and not think too much about a possible injury again. Davis was injury-prone before too, then he ended up winning a championship with LA, so maybe the same thing could happen with Leonard since the Clippers still haven’t won one yet.

And even if he’s not close to a regular season MVP, a Finals MVP is still possible if they reach that level.

It's worth noting that Kawhi is averaging 28.5 points this season, which appears to be the best performance in his entire career. In fact, it's thanks to him that the Clippers are currently on a six-game winning streak, which has allowed them to climb out of the bottom of the standings.
