2026 NBA Season

[SquallLeonhart]

LeBron is really great, no doubt about that. We’re not even comparing him to current players anymore, it’s already the GOAT discussion with MJ, and that conversation will probably never end unless people decide to stop it. They’re just different players from different eras. Usually, once a GOAT is already established, it’s not easily replaced. It’s the same with Ali in boxing, he’s still considered the GOAT until now.

Because of that, MJ will likely remain the GOAT for many people, even as the game continues to evolve.

I am old enough to remember that people were comparing Kobe and Lebron, because they were playing around the same times, and I was one of those who said Kobe was better. The thing about Lberon is that, nobody has that kind of longevity at that level, it's unheard of and nobody will ever beat it again because even when human body changes and we are building players who are more fit and plays more smart, we still get more injuries due to pace of the game.

So nobody will ever repeat what Lebron did with his longevity. But if we are talking about "best", people are just arguing that prime MJ versus Prime Lebron 1v1, MJ would have field day without a doubt.

And I still insists, for a prime that is just 1-2 season, NOBODY in the world was as good as Shaq, that dude was the best player to ever play this game if we look at just 1-2 season highest peak, but that guy was also a lazy person who just got tired from the style he played, so he didn't really do it for too long at all. So yeah, if we look at career-wise, Lebron is the best, but if we look at primes at the peak level, Lebron is not the best to me.

Dallas had a brutal game the night before, so I think fatigue probably factored in a bit. They also lost that game at the buzzer so attitudes could have still been not great…

I think it’s possible we could see these two teams matchup again in the playoffs.

4 losses in a row for Mavericks. Things are really not going well for them at all... The season in general is a mess for them. I don't know if they will qualify for playoffs again just like they did by finishing as 10th last season.

I just love to watch Cooper Flagg. He is a great rookie! If we make a comparison for the rookie of the year I would him put him at the top of the list truthfully. He is giving positive vibes for his future.

I think they’ll get it figured out. Cooper Flagg will continue getting better at an alarming rate and they’ll probably trade AD for some pieces in the next two weeks. Kyrie will be back in a couple months too. There is hope for them. They just took a risk with Kyrie and AD and it blew up in their face.

I guess we can give credit to Jason Kidd, in the beginning he put Flagg in a uncomfortable place because he make some experiments early on with his rookie. But when he saw that it's not working, then he give Cooper the luxury to do everything.

And with that go signal, he really blossomed to what everyone was expecting of him. We can see now that he has improved and even have games scoring 49 points that no rookie has done before. But they will have to win as well so that he won't waste his rookie season and won the ROTY award.

yea he made a mistake at first because he thought it might work but sadly it did not, so he lets copper play his original position and the rest is history, putting numbers every game is just amazing its just what we expect for a 1st pick, the question now is who will help him go up in the position even in the play ins to be able to be in the playoffs, I'm thinking of AD and Kyrie with their status if they can still comeback before the playoffs if they can still rack up some wins.

It's all Nico Harrison's fault why their season right now is a complete mess. It's good that they already fired him. Well, the good thing is that they got the first pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and he's performing really well right now. Although the Mavericks are on a 4-game losing streak, Flagg is playing very well, breaking records here and there, and making history.

They're 4 games behind the 10th seeded Clippers, and I don't think that they can clinch the play-in tournament TBH, and it's fine. Right now, what they need is to create a great or maybe a perfect team around Flagg for their future. Well as for the Rookie of the year, if it's for all-time then it's a no for me, but if for the past 5 years, I'll just be putting him at 2 behind Wemby because I think Wemby had a greater impact back in his rookie season. He's a great rookie though like what you said, and the future of the Mavericks is bright because of him.
I wonder why nobody's talking about how miserable the Milwaukee Bucks right now? I mean the roster's a complete mess, they're paying Lillard $20M per year for the next 5 years, and now Giannis will be leaving the team already either at the end of the trade deadline, or during the off-season after this regular season. Whatever the case is, the team will undergo a rebuild probably next year because of how awful they're playing right now. It's just very sad to see their own Bucks fans booing their own team a few weeks ago.

Nice win by 76ers last night. Embiid is getting there again! He had 40 points and 11 rebounds this time. Just look at his performance in his last 7 games. All of them are just great...

He is still a little bit slow though but making progress day by day. By the way do you agree with Edgecombe's being likened to Dwyane Wade? I think there are similarities in their playing styles honestly.

Yeah right, EMbiid is getting his offensive threat back with his presence they've got a big man who can give them decent offensive numbers, though still slow but he's getting his confidence back, with teammates who's sorrounding him now, thye've got a good shot to push to the second round, though news about PG being suspended might not be a good one to them but they still got players who can fill that space and help to push their way to solidify their chase to move forward.

Lebron James getting the pity all star game spot over people like Kawhi Leonard is just ridiculous. This game should feature the best players and nothing else. These 2 guys aren't even close to each other and LBJ gets the vote, just shows what a nonsense this whole all star voting is. Funny how the guys publishing the picks on TV didn't even say anything is yet another ridiculous thing. Maybe somebody like Chuck would have said something, but not clowns like C. Anthony, Vince Carter or TMac, they are prolific Lebron ass kissers.

Leonard can't play because he is injured, at the same time the fans still see LeBron as an all star, even the players know that imagine 41 years of age still dunking, and playing like he is still a 20+ year old, even better than young players, what could you make him ignore in an all star, its an all star game, could we chose a player that is not all star caliber replacing him, for sure the fans would not like that, besides its most of the fans voted for him to be in it, so there is nothing we could do about it, they have control, meaning LeBron still has it and the fans recognized.

After losing to Denver, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated Phoenix by 24 points, 93-117. Harden wasn't injured but didn't feature in the game. The Clippers are playing great team football. Kawhi was the game's top scorer with 25 points. The Clippers are six wins ahead of the sixth-placed Lakers. If the Clippers continue like this, they will make the playoffs. They are currently my favorite team in the NBA. I hope they make the playoffs.

[Maslate]

The Knicks are really solid at home. They beat LeBron and the Lakers by double digits.

What stood out to me was that even though Brunson struggled, 4-for-15 shooting, his teammates were ready to step up. That support made the difference and turned it into a convincing win. The second half was the real game changer, especially the third quarter where the Knicks outscored the Lakers by 12 points and basically took control from there.

Yeah it was a good performance from the Los Angeles Clippers, I was very impressed with their performance in this game, considering there awful performance against Denver the last game, but let’s be honest with ourselves the way Phoenix was beaten by 24 points, which is 93-117 shows how terrible that this Phoenix team are currently, well played by the Los Angeles Clippers because they are playing a good basketball right now, Harden have been missing, I don’t know if he was injured but I’m going to think that it was some personnel reasons which is why he was missing in this game, just like you have said if the Los Angeles Clippers continue this way I believe they will make it to the playoffs, Let’s see how it’s goes with the playoffs.

I thought LA will beat Knicks on this game since they have a very good 1st half. Brunson and KAT are struggling so I thought Luka can take over to demolish the team.

Knicks bench is the real MVP on this game that gives hindrance to Lakers to extend the lead on the 2nd half.

Shamet scored 23pts gives a huge relief for Brunson cold game.

Yeah, it was Shamet who really help a lot from the bench. And even if the Lakers was able to close the gap in the 3rd, the Knicks pulled out another run. And so it was a battle between Clarkson and Shamet coming from the bench. But this time, it was Shamet who was given a good time and he took advantage of it.

OKC took a win against the Nuggets. Jokic second game and I thought that he will take over the game. Murray too, but they were hold off by the Thunder, Jamal had only 12 points and then Jokic 16. While SGA lead the Thunder with a huge 34 points.

Pistons just crushed the Nets 130-77. Winning by 53 points actually broke the franchise record for the biggest win ever. The old record was from 23 years ago when they beat the Celtics by 52 points (118-66). Great performance tbh. What’s even cooler is that only one player scored more than 20 points... it’s awesome seeing the whole team chip in and get on the scoreboard like that.

The pistons are continuing the season and if thing are on their favor they might finish first in the east this season, this team don't have super stars big three but they are showing that a team that each one contribute are seems better, only twelve losses in the season and they might add more W as the season progress wishing them a healthy season until the end will they make it to the finals lets see, its too early to say this but i hope they have a good run in the playoffs.

For this kind of blowout win, everyone will usually get their points since the starters tend to rest early. If you look at the scoreboard, none of the starters even played close to 30 minutes, which clearly shows they were pulled early because the game was already out of reach.

Even with that, the second unit was still solid, so they kept on dominating the Brooklyn Nets anyway.
And just to add, the Nets didn’t win a single quarter in that game.

Cade Cunningham is already an all star caliber. He just demonstrated this explosive skills recently on the last season that’s he frequently being overlooked but he is a beast and consistent on game.

I like his low key effective game that very good on crucial time when Piston needed the points.

They might be the Eastern conference champs if they will maintain this roster healthy. Knicks have a tough time against them last year even they are still developing.

[Webetcoins]

Houston is a weird team, they are playing well one day, playing terrible another game, it's really not that good if you do not have a sustained system.

Alperen is still injured, and playing badly because of it but they do not have any decent bigs left since Adams is also out, so they are forcing him to play and that makes things so much harder for them with that many misses. What people do not realize with injuries is that, even if you can play through it, pain makes you tired faster and that is an issue when missing shots.

This might not be the year yet, but I feel like Pistons squad is Finals bound. With this core and their hustle they could hit the Finals this season and win it all for Michigan next year. I’m just terrified they’ll do something dumb like trading Ausar for MPJ.
