2026 NBA Season

[Fredomago]

he looks scary in suns, maybe the attitude he made in the suns is still there, i hate to say this but his career is over when the lakers trade him for sure he will be waive, no energy or what so ever, looks like a child in the court he's lost in the wilderness.

Problem with him is his inconsistency, one game he plays great and puts up good numbers, then next game he’s just lost.

It was actually close too, Lakers had a strong 3rd quarter, but the 4th was bad, no energy anymore. And they also got out-rebounded by OKC, which shouldn’t happen, that’s supposed to be Ayton’s job.

Yeah right, they need his presence and try harder to compete inside but seems Lakers unable to rely on him that inconsistency is a big problem to him, if Lakers will trade him and he continue playing the way he's doing right now, chances that he may not going to get that minutes and start to sit till his career fade and be waive, let see if he can keep that spot if Lakers managements will let him continue his contract if so, better to have that numbers to help in whatever way he can show up.

This is the only downside with Kawhi but a playoffs version of him is monster since he play 2 way both offense and defense. I believe he has less injury prone now considering that he already have a reliable teammates which Clippers coach can use to make sure he is getting enough rest.

A team that composed of many veteran players with a lot of playoffs experienced is very hard to beat on a playoffs match.

I believe Clippers is in good position even if they just landed on a play-in spot.

While I do agree that Kawhi looks less injured this year, that doesn't mean he can be out any moment and that is the scare about him. Kawhi has always seen a good player, hell dude has two finals MVP and you do not get much more superstar than that. He won against every big team and he has done great job so far.

But the problem with him is that he has been injured most of his career, I do not know how many games he could have played but didn't, but I am pretty sure the numbers are close between games he played and games he missed.

The Los Angeles Lakers are taking on the San Antonio Spurs today. That should make for a good game to watch.  Unfortunately, I won’t be able to spectate this one today but I am looking forward to seeing the highlights. Luka can’t get back fast enough for the Lakers.

Yeah Luka being injured is hurting them badly things could've gone differently last night against the Thunder, Marcus Smart ain't the greatest option at the point either and Ayton I don't know about him dude is just weird period. A guy like him should be grabbing a lot of boards a night cause they got killed on the glass but I really don't see Lakers going that far in the playoffs just my opinion.

2 games from tonight look nice to bet on.

• Rockets vs Clippers: Rockets -3.5 @1.47

• Lakers vs Spurs: Spurs -3.5 @1.42

Placing a bet on their wins plainly doesn't give me satisfying level of odds. This is better even though the risk is higher. Both sides are serious favourites to win these games...

I just don't know if Luka will play though. I had info for only the Thunder game last night.

Luka is currently listed as Doubtful for tonight and Lebron is also Questionable as well, which means he most likely won't play and plus it's a back to back for both of them as both teams played last night. And also Austin Reeves is Doubtful too but check back close to game time maybe it might change for Lebron.

If they’re all in bad shape then they should rest anyway. They probably wouldn’t beat the Spurs even with a full healthy squad, so unless LeBron just wants to put up 30 for the sake of his stats and take home a loss, they should start resting and hope to come back from the all star break ready to make a run for the postseason.

Speaking of bad shape, Lebron, Austin, and Marcus Smart are all out tonight, plus Ayton is questionable but it'll be next man up mentality the rest of the team might shine tonight. The line will move thinking Lakers won't have a chance but from what I've seen teams step up when all the big dawgs are out.

No LeBron James tonight officially means his streak of 21 straight All-NBA seasons has ended. After tonight he will be ineligible for the ALL-NBA team after missing his 18th game this season. Sad watching his career begin to come to an end.

Yes, just like the Warriors did the last night and in their last 3 games, without Curry and Draymond in and out, but the Warriors was able to pull a win. So maybe the Lakers can do it if they have the mentality, at least their second unit.

As for the brawl between the Pistons and the Hornets, there could be longer suspension for Isiah Stewart, as he is not a first time offender. He had so many scuffle and who would forget about the Lebron confrontation?

Probably 20-25 games suspension for him.

Ingram was selected as replacement of Curry. After 6 seasons, he's finally becoming an All-Star for the second time. He has always played at a certain level and maintained a high scoring average, but he couldn't make it into the top 24. He was an All-Star in his first season with the Pelicans and now he's made it again in his first season with the Raptors. He will add some color to the weekend.

Yup super happy for Ingram he always gives his all every night and he's been such a nice addition to the Raptors, he's a low key guy and just plays great basketball. They are playoff bound if they can keep up this level of play and stay healthy cause that's always the biggest concern but as far as making a deep run who knows.

It is going to be a very tough and spectacular encounter, it’s a game I’m anticipating to watch, and I will be watching my favorite player victor Wembanyama who is a very talented young player this season and he has shown that in different games, that is obviously a good game to watch considering the magnitude of things at stake in this game, and frankly speaking this is a game that could’ve possibly become the Playoffs Finals, Unfortunately LeBron James wouldn’t be playing this game and I would really love to see how Jokic is going to perform today against the San Antonio Spurs, I’m pretty much excited to see what is happening with LeBron James Jr if he can also show some magnificent performances.

Ingram is doing great in Toronto , they are in 5th place in the east and a possible playoffs spot if things go into their way, but i think they will make it they are having a great run and players like ingram is playing in an all star level, they are not the favorite team but they are going fine in the east, hoping they will continue their run in the playoffs let see if they can be able to upset teams, as for ingram this is his time to shine and prove everyone wrong because he also been traded to other teams by the lakers.

Good to hear that, he has been big with the Pels before, but injury might have cost him that's why he was traded. But we all know that when someone is traded, he usually like playing in his prime again.

And so wit the Raptors he remain a threat and the second option and they are in the good position in the West. Hopefully it will be a great All Star weekend as everyone wanted to have some fun before the start of the second half of the regular reason.

Lakers just needs to realize that they are not going to win anything. I understand that with Luka and Lebron together, people thought that it was maybe possible for them to win something, but they built a horrible team around those two, and not a championship level team. They are at best a playoff level team who will lose out at playoffs in any stage and just go home, not a title winner level team.

They are forcing the team to do something that can't do, and for that reason they are getting not a great return and should not be shocking at all to see them leave. Best case would be that we could potentially see this be a lot different when things can change, so if this summer they make big changes, maybe they can have more chance next season.

No Reaves, Luka, LeBron, and Ayton, big problem. As of writing this post, the Spurs are up by 34 points at the end of the 3rd quarter. Wemby is balling with 40 points already. In blocks, steals, rebounds, assists, etc., the Spurs are completely dominating the Lakers without those four. It's over for this one. It would be hard for the Lakers to turn this around or even close that gap without those four in the lineup.

Houston defeated the Clippers 102-95. It seems Alperen's morale and motivation have improved since he became an All-Star... He scored 22 points in one game.
The Clippers shouldn't have traded Harden during the offseason. If Harden had been there in such a tough game, perhaps this loss wouldn't have happened.
Kawhi's performance wasn't enough in this game.

Houston and the Clippers will face each other again tomorrow. Houston won this game, albeit with difficulty, but let's wait and see what happens tomorrow.

You forgot to mention the very most important part. Yes, Wemby had 40 points after 3 but he had a whopping 25 points after the first 8 minutes. So after that he wasn't really balling so to speak, he was just chillin his life since they had no answer for him anyway.

I mean,, the result was expected, totally. It's a miracle already that the Lakers scored 108 points with basically all their scorers not suiting up tonight.

That performance really reflects how solid the Spurs’ defense is. It looked like they knew they could easily handle an undermanned Lakers team, so they were just playing loose and enjoying it, like there was no real competition.

No wonder the spread was so high. Bettors who stayed updated with the injury reports probably cashed in easily tonight.
