2026 NBA Season

[Stavri]

No more basketball until Thursday as the players rest and get ready to finish the season. I guess that means all the NBA eyes will be on this Kevin Durant X burner account situation and if he will receive a suspension from the NBA or his team for his trashing of teammates.

its weird that we are witnessing how someone so successful can be this pathetic. it’s truly bizarre you’re one of the top 2-3 players to ever play your position, yet at 38, you still talk like a teenager. you don’t even have the balls to say these things to people's faces instead, you act like their best bud in front of the cameras...

Those are his co-workers and he doesn’t have a wife or girlfriend to complain to. I can see how this happens.

I came across this clip showing the highest jumps to dunk this season. That 47” vertical jump is crazy. I need to start watching that kid.

Damn, Shaedon Sharpe had so many highlights in that video, and he was the one with the highest jump. For a 6'5 player, that’s already crazy.

Imagine if Ja Morant had the same height, he’d probably have even more insane dunk highlights every game. He’s smaller, but he’s already a high flyer, so with more height, that would be next level.

[xzone]

I also think KD's burner account is real. We all kind of know how he is on social media. There's a pretty good chance he actually said those things. But I don't think it'll be a big issue. KD is already at the end of his career and the Rockets with their ups and downs don't really look like a serious title contender anyway.

Durant was a basketball player I liked, I was even excited that he would be playing alongside Alperen Şengün. I thought they made a good duo, especially at the beginning of the season, they got along very well.
After seeing what KD wrote, I started to lose my sympathy for him. There are some points where he's right, but generally, a player shouldn't say things like that against his team.

I think he's currently disrupting the team's dynamics, and a good trade could bring in someone much more beneficial to the team. I highly doubt he'll stay with the Rockets at the end of the season

Shams is reporting that Kyrie Irving has been officially shut down for the remainder of the year to give himself a longer window to recover from his ACL injury. This isn’t a huge surprise and I think it is the right move. He’s no spring chicken anymore.

LaMelo Ball was just in a car accident. He wasn’t reported to have been injured.

I think most injuries most especially ACL injury needs a lot of time to recover from which is why players always takes more than a year to recover from such injury.

So I wouldn’t be very surprised when such injury would obviously takes a lot of time for someone who is in such situations to recover from such a horrible injury.

About LaMelo I hope he is doing absolutely fine, after his reported car accident I hope everything is going absolutely fine with him, reported saying he isn’t injured I hope everything is okay with him and he isn’t going to be injured.

I saw video of the crash and the aftermath. He seemed fine. Jumped out and talked to the other driver and then jumped into a Lamborghini and left. The other vehicle was pretty small and even that driver appeared fine, so I think the damage makes it look worse than it was.

Burner account scandal will cause KD  a lot more than just taking a break. I think forcing him to retire, even while he still wants to play, is a possibility. Not like "force" him in the sense that he would be gone, I think if he is waived by the rockets and then not hired by anyone else, it's a possibility.

I remember very clearly when Melo was out of OKC, he looked for a team to play and had to give a long break because nobody wanted him and that was leading to his retirement, not because he wanted to but league didn't wanted him anymore. Same could possibly happen to KD, he could be waived and then no team may want him and he would be retired against his own will. This isn't a small scandal and I hope it gets better.

I think that burner account issues towards KD are just a minor case compared to Ja Morant's gun scandal or Kobe's sexual assault case, but that didn't force them to retire. These people are too talented to get waived, or if the Rockets waive him, there are still a lot of teams that will most likely pick up KD, because he still is a superstar caliber and can significantly contribute on both ends of the floor.
Melo's case was different than KD's. Melo became outdated become too slow to the point that he can't keep up with the young talents of today, that's the reason why nobody wants him anymore.
KD had a burner account issue before, while he's still with the GSW, but I understand that today's issue is much worse than before. With how he is thrashing his teammates using that burner account, the Rockets would probably waive him. But then again, several other teams will still pick him up, not because they tolerate his behaviour, but because of his talent.

Well, since nothing much is happening in the NBA at the moment at least this scandal is giving us something to laugh about. Often had a strange feeling about KD, especially after the first twitter incident some years ago. But this now is a whole new level. Throwing people that considered him a friend (I guess) under the bus like that is pretty shady. Then mocking his teammates like this obviously is the worst thing you can do to your locker room. Now there will be a lot of tension which will be bad for the team. I don't see the Rockets waiving them but there is obviously some action they should consider taking cause this behavior is unprofessional.

Of course, we can't compare the issues of Ja Morant to KD. Ja is more of his mental aspect and trying to be a gangsta or maybe he can't really handle everything that he had that time, money, fame, being good in basketball.

But in KD? it's totally different. I mean you are considered one of the best of your generations, winning multiple rings with GSW and then MVP. But behind that you have this alter ego of yours attacking your team mates with your burner account? That is something that we haven't seen in any sports. Other players pick fights in the locker room, while you as a keyboard warrior? Lol.

There's a report made by ESPN confirming that Lamello and didn't get any injury after he get involve on that accident https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/47970262/report-lamelo-ball-uninjured-car-crash-charlotte

So after reading this report I think there's no need to worry about him. Its look alarming at first if you look at the pic, but somehow its good that everyone involve on that accident is fine and looks like Lamello can go back on practice without having any serious issue.

This is the same guy who tweeted from his own account back in 2012 saying he wanted to drink Scarlett Johansson's bathwater.



btw he said these things to his friend on twitter thinking nobody would ever see them but then he got exposed. you might say everyone has weird thoughts sometimes but the issue isn't just him trashing rival players or swearing. The way he references and takes shots at his own teammates on the Houston Rockets is on a whole different level. He clearly has zero faith in the team. Would you ever step onto the court with this guy again? he probably won't even see a second season in Houston

[AHOYBRAUSE]

Kyrie Irving won't be on the court this season, what else is new? I mean he had the ACL injury 11 months ago, a normal time frame for someone to come back after an injury like this is 9-12 months. So you tell me he won't play until October? He needs like 20 months? That's some BS. Mavericks fans are getting screwed again, they won't see Kyrie ever again in a Mavs jersey. Mark my words, he is gone and the Mavs are looking for more picks. They should just say so instead if feeding their fans this nonsense they want him back at full health to be better next season.

I am 100% sure he could play right now, there were reports that he was ready in December already but they wanted to wait until after allstar weekend. And now this. This franchise sucks!

The franchise never failed to upset their own fans, I was in the impression that after they acquire AD and Flagg they are just waiting for Kyrie and Klay to be healthy,  a good core in papers but in reality they just pay them to wear Mavs uniform but nothing being materialize to make the team competitive after sending Luka to LA.

Seems that seeing Flagg and Kyrie playing together is no longer possible if Kyrie and Mavs management decided to partways.

[terrific]

LaMelo Ball was just in a car accident. He wasn’t reported to have been injured.

I've seen a footage of this and this is really a huge truck. Aside from him, I hope that the car and the person inside it that he bumped isn't injured.
And with the news that I've read lately, it's about Lebron James. It seems that he's not retiring anytime soon.
It won't be his last season by the next one and there's more to come. The headlines that I've read is that he's still a lot in the tank.

They probably gave up to the injury fest of their roster and decided to just rebuild around Cooper Flagg with lots of first pick young talents that is more beneficial in the long run instead of relying to Kyrie being healthy every year.

They learned already their lesson with acquiring AD. I like this kind of rebuild especially if they have Kyrie that’s still valuable until now despite being injured a lot.

Lots of top team now are now young talent team while old era star are on the bottom rank team.

It all started when they traded Luka Dončić for Anthony Davis. After that, everything went downhill. If they kept Luka, I’m sure they would still be a playoff team right now.

Luka is not injury-prone and he makes his teammates better, that’s the big difference. Even before they got Kyrie Irving, the Dallas Mavericks were already competitive. Now they look lost most of the time. It feels like they ruined a good thing by trying too hard to change it.

Kyrie Irving has reportedly requested a trade from Dallas at the end of the season he wants to join a championship contender next year. Rockets are at the top of his list. Durant and Udoka are close friends of his

KD is already at the end of his career and the Rockets with their ups and downs don't really look like a serious title contender anyway.

you might just be looking at his age, but not his stats, look at the numbers, still not looking like a player that would end his career anytime soon.
And about being a serious contender, rockets might not look like one but we never know.

https://www.espn.ph/nba/player/_/id/3202/kevin-durant
His average this season.

2025-26 regular season stats

PTS - 25.8
rank 12th

REB - 5.3
rank 82nd

AST - 4.4
rank 45th

FG% -50.6
Rank 30th

Well he is the player who uses the ball the most, so him scoring isn't really that confusing, it's expected. The real success was doing that with 50% fg and 40% three pointers which he was doing before any of this.

I think the whole burner account thing will not be easy to overcome though, because he has said so many things about his teammates so it is not going to be easy to just comeback and be okay. I mean maybe they will all forgive him, but it is not going to be easy and that might cause issues.
