2027 NBA Season

[Uhde]

yeah they seem to have solved a great majority of the troubles they experienced last season with the arrival of FVV and Smart.
imo return of Steven Adams along with FVV and the additions of Marcus Smart and Bogdan Bogdanovic are the right moves. we'll probably watch a much stronger Rockets this year.

That position that Fred has been holding is their problem when he was injured because of his experience in the floor as a point guard, other players now don't have to worry about playmaking because he is now back they can now focus in the position they are assign, unlike before that no one is making right plays because they are not born point guard, so they sacrifice their position just to fill the void that is missing now its a different story, maybe that is why they have more success in this season.

The Houston Rockets’ only defeat so far came against Dallas a game in which All-Star Alperen did not play due to injury. Given that one of their most important players was sidelined, a 5 point loss is understandable. They have had a very strong start to the season, and I completely agree with your point about Fred. He is the game exceptionally well last year, we saw several players try to take on that playmaking role in his absence, but none could do it as effectively as he does. It looks like we’re going to see an even better Rockets team this year.

yes. with Jalen Williams injured, imo Rockets are the top contenders alongside the Spurs to reach the West Finals.
As long as they don't burn KD out during the regular season they should have a successful playoff run.

Adam Silver is talking about reducing the time of quarters in the NBA down to 10 minutes. I think this is an attempt to try and cut down on injuries. While it doesn’t seem like it will be a very effective plan, with the pace of today’s game I wouldn’t hate this idea just because it might help preserve some of the old records that were made when the pace was much slower.

While this might be helpful, I think reducing the number of games would be more impactful than reducing the minutes per game, but of course, that would affect the revenue of the whole league so he will automatically disregard this idea.

Disregarding the disadvantages of it, reducing the games will give more time to the player to condition themselves for the next game, and we will not see back-to-back games anymore, and for me this is one reason as to why injuries are becoming more and more common right now. Of course, let's not remove the fact that players don't have time to condition themselves anymore because of how compact the schedule is. Imagine the players playing 82 games for like 8 months only then if they reach the playoffs, they'll play at least another 16 gruesome games yet again. Add the fact that they're travelling as well which could be tiring also.

Overall, reducing the number of minutes should be fine, and like you, I don't also hate it, but reducing the number of games would be better. Unfortunately, they can't change anything about the pace of the game unless they'll change plenty of rules next season.

Any idea is welcoming if something has been proposed. But with reading of the people's comments on different platforms.

The common thing that I've read is about this is going to give a hard time in beating those scoring records and all other records. That reduction of 2 minutes per quarter might not look a lot but in beating the records, it's going to serve with that purpose.

Fans mind are too wide to think of that, but isn't that it makes sense? maybe the next will be some 4 or 5 point line in the half court.

The Warriors are reportedly not making payments to Porzingis. But I think that's fair for them, and Porzingis isn't contesting the decision either. He is losing more than $200k per game. If only he had clear communication with the team, maybe this wouldn't have happened.

The Warriors are also exploring a trade for him, which seems laughable to me. Who would want a guy who can't be used and, worse, doesn't communicate about his condition to the organization. Waste of money.

I thought the "running time" rule already helped with that.

The game clock continues to run after a made field goal for most of the game, except during specific late-game windows

Jokic is a well-known player who takes advantage of this rule whenever they are on a big lead and wants to waste a lot of time off the game clock.

Well, maybe that is enough, and you are right. Most of the plays today are so fast that they do not consume the whole 24-second shot clock to make a play. But this might ruin the records since the minutes played by a player will also be fewer than those of the old.
So even if a player never gets injured, he might not be able to break any records because the lack of time would prevent it.

Bad investment for the Warriors and it will likely cost them another season where they won't even make the playoffs. This team has turned into a joke, ever since they traded Jordan Poole IMO. I also thought before that it was a good trade since Poole was becoming arrogant, but if we put that attitude aside, he can actually play and was a good partner for Curry, now a team that was once dominant is struggling to even compete.

The Golden State Warriors have refused to pay Kristaps Porzingis and are saying that he has refused to render services. I’ve actually never heard of that happening before. An NBA player not getting paid because they refuse to come to work. I get he’s struggling right now, but leaving 20 million dollars on the table because you don’t want to come to work and sit with doctors is crazy to me.

Well i wont be playing also if im Porzingis because i think his health issue is not normal, he has been dealing with this issue for years, so they are not dealing with his health issue and refuse to pay him, the golden state warriors seems to change how they value players after the top executive of the dynasty run left them, they were treating players bare minimum except curry because they know how the fans will backlash them or will respond if they do that to steph, i think they need to overhaul their management people.

That's why I was surprised when the Warriors gave Porzingis a huge contract knowing this guy has been moving from one team to another since he can't stay healthy for the entire season. Early in his career he was really impressive, but once injuries hit him he was no longer the same and the teams he played for struggled when he was out since he was a starter most of the time and they relied on his size. Now at this early stage, it's better that they know his status, because if that's the case they won't have to pay him and they can find an additional player provided everything is done legally.

In the CBA, there's a rule where the team could LEGALLY not pay the player if he's not cooperating with them, and this is applicable to Tingus Pingus. In the contract, it says there that the $23M is the only guaranteed money, but with what's happening right now, I don't think that there's a "guaranteed" money for him.

What's worse is that while the team are contacting him, he's on another country FIXING HIS TEETH as seen on an Instagram post. I mean isn't that a "slap in the face" towards the management? As for the Warriors exploring a trade for him, well that's true, but it seems like they need to attach some picks in order for other teams to be interested in the trade because a straight 1-to-1 swap is almost impossible right now. Well, we knew already that the Warriors extending Tingus Pingus is a big mistake by them, and now we are seeing it already. Waste of money indeed, but it's not too late. They could still trade him IF there's a team that's interested in him.

Why not introduce a minutes cap per player to avoid injury and to use the full roster potential of every player instead of reducing the playing time.

Doing that suggestion means there’s only a few playing time chances for those aspiring bench players and we might frequently see the starter playing most of the time from 1st to 4th quarter.

Or introduce more time out for the team to rest their player.

I don't like this kind of adjustments, I mean it has nothing to do with players getting injured. Perhaps reducing the number of grueling 82 games might be the best approach here instead of the time in quarters in NBA.

We've used to seeing great comeback in 12 minutes. So if the reduced it, then it might also lessen the chances of team trying to comeback from a huge deficit and make the game more exciting. I think this is a very bad idea by Adam Silver.

Dallas almost had it, they were just unlucky that Irving's shots didn't go in.... as a result, the Spurs escaped with a 1-point victory. I would have been happy if I had bet on the handicap, but I was a bit ambitious putting a parlay with Miami Heat and Dallas to win. I got this during live betting, now the Heat are looking good, if Dallas had won I would have needed just one more win. So close!

Wemby with a new career high tonight for the San Antonio Spurs. He put up 52 points with 24 rebounds and 8 blocks. Absolutely ridiculous numbers. Looks like he has finally found his rhythm. A bit of a slow start for my MVP pick thus far. I think he’ll get it going now though.

Not just you, but I think everyone here favors Wemby to win the MVP. So it's good to see him putting that kind of numbers right now. And it's just about time for him as they had a slow start but now it looks like he found his rhythm.

Although it was a close game against the Mavericks, but still get the W so that numbers magnified. He even had 3 straight blocks in one stretch. So let's see, Luka, Giannis and him are in the top rankings for MVP as early as this season.

Houston's loss to Minnesota came as a surprise to me.
In a game where Alperen recorded a triple-double, Houston was defeated 107-117 on their home court.
I’m not sure what Houston was lacking in this matchup.
I wouldn't have been very surprised if Minnesota had been a team in good form, but this result caught me off guard.

Philadelphia is really starting to make its mark on this season. They defeated a team like Detroit—which has been in good form—on the road. LeBron was just two assists shy of adding another triple-double to his career tally, but it didn't happen in this game.
Philadelphia beat Detroit 112-106.

This performance is really something the spurs really hit the jackpot with this one, if they can just find a better players around him on his prime or from this moment and until he retired they could win a lot of rings maybe like more than Timmy no disrespect, this is where the coach and the management throw a lot for this team to make sure they will rule the NBA for a long time, although there is other teams, beating a solid team around wemby will always be impossible, and is so hard to beat them.

One of the best dunkers that we have seen, "The Air Up There", passed away,



For sure most of us here are familiar with Taurian as we have seen one of the best dunk in street games, his 720 dunk.

RIP, Legend.

That changes will not create any effect. Players still have tendencies to get injured, since 10 minutes still long.

What NBA need to do is to arrange the game schedule and take out the back to back games. Since this one removes fatigue and can help player to get full rest after their game schedule ends.

Maybe they might get an issue about scheduling, but if they study and find good solution on this. I think they could get more better solution.

Watched the game but hesitant to bet since I was traumatized by his cold performance lately. This monster performance is always the sign that Wemby is back whenever he has a rough start like what happened during his Rookie days.

To be fair, Spurs is doing well even if Wemby is not on this level so I’m excited about what they can achieve this year if he manages to play on this level consistently.

Still Kudos to Mavs for the tough match. Nice to watch the game.
