    2024-2025 Around the NBA Thread

    I was hoping dallas would get Caruso. Less hair for OKC, but should make them a better defensive team and a better 3 point shooting team. a smart trade.

    Euro 2024

    I want to see England do well. But, I'm where I'm always at with England and their players. they are always overrated. they have some players like Bellingham and Foden who do great things with their clubs, but yet they can never put it together with the national side. I don't know if it is...

    Euro 2024

    Greg berhalter vibes on roids over the pond. I can’t believe they haven’t moved on from Southgate by now. Alan Shearer basically eluded to that today at BBC, that southgate is not getting the best out of the squad. England also have young players sitting on the bench waiting, but we know they...

    I feel like the Canadian press have all but decided the conn smythe. idk who I am rooting for in this series. I guess I just hope it goes 7 games and want Florida to win.

    Around the NHL 23-24

    this is turning into a series. I'm starting to think that McDavid is going to win the conn Smythe even if Florida skate the cup. you can just feel the hype for Edmonton.

    OKC's youth excites me and they play a similar style as Boston, but the difference is they blitzed Irving and doncic all series long which allowed mavs role players to have great looks at the basket. I think SGA is the best young player in the NBA. he's right there with doncic already IMO. he's...

    ah yes. KP who went to the strip club in LA during the 2021 playoffs and violated the covid rules. I'm pretty sure that upset all the mavericks players and coaches. KP kind of mailed it in after that as well. He even admitted to that. what does that say about a guy's character when he gives up...

    Yeah I would rather my best player to be hyper competitive than to be a guy that just puts his head down when things get tough. we see a lot of talented NBA players who don't have that competitive nature. Doncic is not MJ. But when I watched the last dance, I kind of see the hyper competitive...

    I think the narrative that players don’t want to play with him is tabloid reporting. But that’s the narrative and it will be up to doncic to answer his critics. You do make good points about his defense and needing to be better as he gets older. I completely agree there. Dallas has already...

    I don't think that Doncic deserves the MVP by any means. I am coming to his defense for some of the bashing that he got after game 3. even with the dumb fouls. I don't think Hoop Head meant that either (that he deserves the MVP). I could be wrong, but I took the post as statistically he was the...

    I don't agree. This series was a predictable display of Boston being better than Dallas. It played out exactly as most people expected. doncic's individual failures became a toxic narrative after game 3. Doncic is a top 5 player in the NBA and by far the mavs best player. he carries them day in...

    shocking that I don't agree. But it's important to note that Tatum and brown both are surrounded by great teammates that are all shot makers, even from half court, and defend every square inch of the court. Tatum can struggle and go sit on the bench for long spells and his team can still win a...

    man of all the teams in the west aside from dallas, I'm most impressed with OKC. I think they would have been an exciting matchup with Boston.

    Thank you for posting the truth. I think there is a lot of critique regarding Luka. and TBF he deserves the critique because he's a star player that openly talks a lot of trash on the court. so people are going to give it back to him. Luka's worst game wasn't tonight IMO, although he still...

    I agree. Tatum had a couple of bad games. Brown and KP played better than Tatum in game 1. Tatum had some really good defensive plays in spots. he wasn't great on the defensive end. Brown was great at both ends for the entire series, other than game 4.

    IDK about Minnesota. I guess goebert and KP could have had a lock down series lol, only joking. I think OKC would have been a bigger threat than Minnesota or even Denver. SGA is the best player that dallas played against IMO. I think Shaq is right, SGA should have won the MVP award. I agree...

    as the series went on Tatum got better. I'm impressed with how Boston play as a team. they are very deep and have so many guys that contribute all over the floor.

    I guess for me being a dallas fan I have to remove myself from this and I can see where you are coming from. I will say I believe that Boston would have made quick work of any team. even if the NBA got their dream LA/Boston match up. the ratings would have been better, perhaps, but Boston would...

    yeah I agree. why did they opt to play a game on a Friday night and Monday night over fathers day? and it would have been better in a 2-3-2 format as some have suggested here. either way wouldn't have made a difference in who wins. Boston were always going to win this series.

    IDK about sucking for the NBA. Celtics were favored to win all year. Most of us that post in here picked Boston to win long ago. I think the bigger picture for the NBA, we saw the best team play against arguably the best young player in the league. and we've seen that play out in the finals many...

    yeah I'm disappointed with games 2 and 3. If dallas scores over 100 in those games they might win one of those. as maligned as doncic is for his defense, I think it was dallas inability to score in the 100's in this series that did them in. the one game that they broke 100, they won. dallas was...

    I'm proud of this dallas team. even if they are a bad finals team. they are still a finals team and moving in the right direction. I picked Boston in 6. Boston are better than I thought they were and I knew that they were really good. they are a great team.

    disappointed with the way dallas closed out the first quarter.. dallas could make a run, but doubtful they can win. Boston are too good. I would be surprised if this lead shrinks at all.
