2026 NBA Season

[EFS]

Wemby is now at the top spot of the MVP ladder. I still think both first place and second place is very wrong. I think players like Doncic who has been taking his team all by himself, and Cade, and Brown, these are the real winners.

Same TBH. Wemby's stats are pretty good lately despite his limited minutes, but he's nowhere near Jokic and Doncic. Jokic has been averaging a triple-double for the second straight year and it would be a shame if he gets robbed again this season. Doncic has stepped it up over the past month, moving up his scoring average to 33.6 without any drop in his reb and ast stats.

In that context, it doesn't make sense for SGA to be sitting in second place with those numbers, he shouldn't even be in the top 3. The Spurs have nearly caught up to the Thunder in win percentage, so there's no real reason left to pick SGA again.

Jaylen Brown and Cade Cunningham are also crucial for their teams and deserve mentions, but they're not likely to win the race.

I’m seeing an awful lot of talk about LeBron James joining the Warriors next season. With a healthy Jimmy and LeBron, that team could be decent. The old guys might be able to make one last run together.

That's been in the rumors for quite a while, and if that happens, I think that we're starting to see the ending of their career. It's true that they might go for one more run before they finally retire. Anyway, I like the fans of Milwaukee giving Brook Lopez a standing ovation for his coming back to their turf after being sent to Clippers.

Could be the 2004 Lakers roster? Yeah it's been that rumor but I think the chance he's coming back one last time to Cleveland was more likely gonna happen, that's probably the most obvious plot twist for his legacy.

Who do you think will win this NBA regular season MVP? It's definitely so tight of a race as I see it.

Hornets had a nice winning streak again but it didn't last very long this time.    They got beaten by 76ers home last night. Actually I was feeling like Hornets would win. Because they were in the lead most of the time.

Even after that lead by 15 points, they still lost the game... The return of Embiid and George has made a big impact of course. They have made a strong return with great stats.

They've got a strong start but Sixers managed to pull that upset with PG and Embiid together with Maxey and the rest of the team, they are able to win the game, I did not watch the game but I see from the reels that dunk of Maxey that's one of the highlights and that's also a statement dunk as he really love that one which give them a boost and strong confident then completed the win.

Yeah, I’ve seen that before. The Warriors are one of the top rumored landing spots for Lebron right now. But if they end up getting him, which I’d love to see, even if it’s just for one season, they might not go after Giannis, who I’d also like to see on the Warriors. Still, seeing Lebron and Curry on the same team, win a ring together would be a once in a lifetime moment. They’re both nearing the twilight of their careers. So even though I really want Giannis on the Warriors, I’d take Lebron for now.

The Rockets @ Pelicans game is on TV. I turned it on in the second quarter and the Rockets went on a 20-3 run in that while KD sits on the bench. It looks like the Pelicans are headed for their 5th straight loss. They don't have any goal left anyway, so this should be an easy win for the Rockets.
The race for the 3rd seed in the West is incredible. 4 teams still have a chance.

Great game between the Knicks and the Thunder, although the final score didn't reflect how close the game was. It was just in the last 4 minutes that OKC pull and separate themselves as SGA shows who should be the MVP as he continue his streak of 20+ points game.

Nuggets and the Warriors still playing, The Warriors took a early lead by the Nuggets has slowly getting back in the game. Almost end of the 3rd quarter and the Nuggets lead by five points.

Charlotte lost the last two games of their seven-game home series. First to Philadelphia, then last night to Boston. Losing to those two teams isn't necessarily a bad thing, as both Boston and Philadelphia are better teams than Charlotte. Now they'll continue their series against Brooklyn. I think Charlotte will easily beat Brooklyn. Charlotte has already secured their place in the play-ins, but their performance in the remaining games could give them a chance to play in the playoffs. It's still possible.

I don’t really feel like his been good only lately, but the most satisfying truth is that his been good for the entire season, his been given out a good performance week-in week-out everything have been very spectacular and very impressive in his performances and really don’t observe that his been having a limited game time, because I feel his been absolutely fantastic and carry the San Antonio Spurs all through the Season.

However Jokic have been very good and spectacular with his performances and it’s been a good game that have been played entirely, his been showing consistency week-in, week-out, that really shows that there have been something special about his performance this season for the Lakers, the Lakers are very good and have been performing very good, his also been carrying the lakers all by himself.

well the first time we see him play we know the guy has a great future ahead if he will not get injured and the spurs can make sure his healthy then the league has a problem, he already go head to head with Giannis, jokic and other stars and he has shown what they will face in the next few years to come.
Jokic is steadily playing usual numbers what is new with the guy, this teams will have their hands pull, if the spurs will put good teamates with the alien they will dominate the league no doubt.

Rockets haven't played such dominant basketball in a long time. Even though the Pelicans are a tanking team, it’s still great to see the Rockets playing like this. Alperen seems to have recovered from his recent back injury. he was clearly the best player on the court in yesterday's game.

New Orleans, like Houston, is experiencing inconsistent results this season. New Orleans has lost all of its last 5 games. Alperen had another amazing performance in Houston yesterday. He scored 36 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. He made 5 out of 7 three-point attempts. He was absolutely on fire yesterday. Even though Alperen sometimes plays poorly in Houston, he's the best player on the team. If I were Alperen at the end of the season, I would go to a better team.

It would have been very strange if they hadn’t been able to dominate a team as weak as the Pelicans. Actually, if the Rockets want to maintain their current place in the standings or improve it slightly, they need to give it their best in the remaining eight regular-season games.

Gonna be close for that sweet spot position where the Rockets are in, and as you have said, it's a must win for the remaining eight regular-season games. Because not just for the position but at least how the team's chemistry is going to show as we all know that playoff is very different. There are teams that are on the top suddenly losing in the first round just like what the Rockets did last season. And it's the main reason why they want Durant to be their closer and to compliment Sengun. But lately they are very unstable and not consistent. But still a win is a win for them against the Pelicans.

The Rockets need to improve their standing, otherwise they'll gonna face the Lakers in the 1st round, if the Lakers maintain their position as well, which I think they'll really hold onto the 3rd seed. It's going to be a bad start for the Rockets if they will face the team who exposed their weaknesses and lost back-to-back games.
The Wolves might want to face the Lakers in the 1st round again, lol.

Even if they improve their standing, I don’t think they can beat any team from the 1st to 5th seed in a best of seven series. If they move up, they’ll likely face the Nuggets. They don’t have an answer for Jokic, and I don’t think Sengun can stop him either. They’re not making it to the second round. I don’t hate them, it’s just that they’re not as good as the five teams ahead of them.

I agree to that, with the current flow with thier system I can see that the spot above whoever they'll be facing is a tough contender that may upset them in the next round, though still a game of chances and adjustements, we will never know how the team will perform once they are already in the position, might be possible that they can pull the upset or they'll be ending their season after the first round,.

Yeah i agree. But Alperen has been looking shaky and inconsistent too; really hope he can steady himself after that injury. Anyway KD disrupting the team chemistry plus Ime Udoka having a terrible season. I expect absolutely nothing from Houston in the playoffs.

Don’t say that man, there are still people here who are hoping the Rockets will be competitive this playoffs, that includes me lol.

And honestly, even as a fan, I have to admit they can be inconsistent at times. But the playoffs are different, they should be more focused and united if they really want to win.
Durant has been in that situation many times, so they can rely on his experience. I still think they’ll put up a good fight.

Lakers will need to sacrifice a lot of their key player just to get Giannis because Bucks will surely not gonna take Ayton and a couple of draft picks/bench for Giannis trade.

Lakers is doing good with their current roster while acquiring Giannis might destroy this current balance on their roster.

Giannis needs to be on team that has full of young talent to support him like Magic.

It's not about just giving all they have, it's also about Lebron and Doncic. Because if they do sign Rui and Reaves back, just to trade them away, which I am not sure if they will be even able to, that would not be enough.

They just can't trade for Giannis without Doncic or Lebron, they would need to give like 4 or 5 players outside of that top two, which would mean it would become a team of Lebron Doncic Giannis and G-leaguers to surround them. Even that may not work out for them. Giannis as a free agent is a whole another topic, that may not even happen because they have no place left, and Giannis would have to take a huge huge pay cut.
