2024-2025 Around the NBA Thread

[95pro]

Spo had a rare disaster class of coaching tonight.

Heat are up 2 with 1.8 seconds left, allow an inbound lob to tie it, Spo, furious with his team for the defense on the play, calls a time out... the heat have no time outs, technical foul, Pistons hit the FT to go up 1, he tries to sub, they're not allowed to, he thinks they're getting the ball, they're not, it's pistons ball, pistons toss it in, Miami fouls with .1 seconds left. Lose by 2.

Usually they have an assistant coach who keeps track of timeouts and such for the head coach.

Steph never gets old. Dallas is 4-5.

That was vintage too and I loved the sequence. Klay hit a big three and did the Steph shimmy, and then Steph, who hadn't scored a point in the quarter went on a personal 10-0 run to ice it.

It's pretty crazy either everyone is mediocre or there's a bunch of good teams this year. Dallas is really talented but under 500. Last year it really seemed like only a couple of teams were good enough to win it all, this year it seems like there's 6-8 that if they can stay(or get in OKC's case) healthy can win it.

The achilles heel for the Warriors right now is FT shooting, Jackson-Davis and Kuminga miss way too many FT's.
