'25-26 NBA Thread

Kawhi has only played 11 more playoff games in the entirety of his 6 years in LA than he did during the Raptors title run season alone. Dude went home to LA, got paid, and turned into a better defending DeRozan, stats with no success

Don't forget all the great endorsement opportunities for minimal work.

Hoping Golden State misses the playoffs. If they are a suitor for Giannis, getting another lottery pick in the mix will help the bidding. Especially with Miami also not making the playoffs.

Also broke numerous league rules to get his bag from the Clippers (as did Ballmer). Punishment eventually, perhaps, though the Silver-led NBA is loathe to punish too severely.

Glad he and the Clippers have completely shat the bed when it comes to postseason results.

Curry is always dangerous. 

Curry will probably get them a game, maybe 2 games. He's still amazing.

But that roster is not built to seriously compete with OKC. If they were the 6 seed I could see them taking a series or two. Not happening vs the Thunder

Unless you are the Bucks and do what most teams are doing.

Thirty years ago today, the Bulls beat the Bucks for their then-record 70th win.

The team quickly came out with hats that said, "70-Something" on them. I got one and gave it to my father-in-law (a huge Bulls fan) for his 70th birthday that year ... and it was his favorite hat until he died well after he was no longer a septuagenarian.

The Bulls had 70 wins.......
.... the past two season combined.

I can't remember the last time the CWS won 70 games.

If you can't remember 4 years ago you might need to get checked out

LOL. Feels like 40 years. 

Since this is a NBA thread, anyone hearing if Donovan is coming back to the Bulls, or coaching period?

I believe Shaka called him for our open Assistant position.

Billy sees value in reacquainting himself to a functional basketball organization.

If only LaMelo had injured 7 or 8 Orlando players, the Hornets might have been able to keep it close.
